"Senior, if the Immortal Sect needs me, of course I'll go."
Jiang Ding nodded and agreed at once, without asking anything else.
The Immortal Sect could not pull fleets from the main front. Doing so would affect the head-on battle. It might not lead to defeat, but it would certainly increase the risk. That was unacceptable.
The Immortal Sect's main front was a matter of life and death for the Immortal Sect.
If Commander Yuan's fleet was defeated and its elite forces wiped out, the Immortal Sect would lose everything it possessed. It would lose every bargaining chip it had; even its survival would be in question.
Jiang Ding had to agree. It was a matter of principle.
Divine Mechanism Heavenly Lord and the others were deeply gratified. They waited for him to continue.
"Senior, I have a few questions."
Jiang Ding looked at Divine Mechanism Heavenly Lord. "First, what if someone at the Dao Integration stage or the peak of Void Refining appears? Does the Immortal Sect have a way to deal with them?"
His opening question was enough to scare a person to death: he was already measuring himself against Dao Integration.
Yet, setting aside the arrogance common to sword cultivators, it was a very real concern.
Across the two domains, the people who most wanted the Great Sun Sword Heir dead were the eight mighty cultivators of the Immortal Orders and the Horn Nether Emperor, who had fled with severe injuries.
The former feared his potential. They dreaded the day a Great Sun Sword Lord fully matured.
As for the latter...
Dozens of imperial heirs of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan had died at the Great Sun Sword Heir's hands.
Those heirs had been so talented, with ample chances of advancing to Void Refining or becoming emperors.
