The Great Asura God Test Taker Is About to Arrive at His Not-So-Loyal Poseidon Island (2)
The layout of Poseidon Island is quite complex.
Compared to the Inner Sea, where the distinction between friend and foe is clear and the number of people is relatively small, the complexity of Poseidon Island stems from three factors: the internal division within the Clear Sky Sect, the relatively high purity of faith among the resistance forces on Poseidon Island, and the complex urban terrain that Poseidon Island possesses.
After the Sixth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect returned to Poseidon Island.
The first challenge he faced was the internal divisions within the Clear Sky Sect.
The Clear Sky Sect has a rather peculiar structure, which can be summarized as follows: Great Elder> Sect Master ≥ Elder Yu> Other Disciples within the Sect.
The structure of other sects can be summarized as follows: Sect Master > Great Elder ≥ Elder Yu> Remaining Personnel within the Sect.
Don't underestimate the difference just because it's a sign that's greater than or equal to.
In reality, what's lacking is the core authority of the sect leader.
It's easy to see from the formula that in other sects, the sect leader is at the top of the food chain, and is absolutely greater than everyone else in the sect; but in the Clear Sky Sect, the sect leader is not only less than the Great Elder, but can even be on par with other elders at times!
In other words, when opinions differ, the Clear Sky Sect is extremely prone to descend into chaos, with multiple factions within the sect!
As a result, after the Sixth Elder returned, the other factions were thrown into chaos!
The message brought by the Sixth Elder was that, apart from Sect Master Tang Xiao refusing to surrender, the Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder had all surrendered to Ye Qingcang. Moreover, the position of the Clear Sky Sect Great Elder, which had been vacant for a long time, had finally been given a new master: Tang Chen, the former Sect Master who had led the Clear Sky Sect to its peak. Tang Chen had only stepped down to the position of Great Elder to make way for his son. Tang Chen personally stated that he had been defeated by Ye Qingcang and hoped that the other factions would not make futile struggles or sacrifices that were completely unnecessary.
So when these words reached the factions led by the Second Elder, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Fifth Elder, the four factions instinctively began to doubt: Did their elders really say these words?
Especially the claim that the Great Elder died and came back to life.
Sixth Elder, are you sure you're serious?
Instead of making fun of us?
When these words reached the faction led by Tang Xiao at the same time, many cunning disciples immediately turned into trolls, stirring up trouble in the crowd and frantically escalating the conflict.
Factions and elders complement each other.
If someone falsely conveys orders.
This resulted in the faction surrendering before the elders did.
Even elders can only be forced to surrender unwillingly, or fight to the death; however, if the situation really develops to that point, they may not even have the chance to fight to the death.
As a result, the Clear Sky Sect was immediately split into three parts.
One is the faction of the Sixth Elder himself.
One faction is led by Tang Xiao.
The last one is from other wavering factions.
The faction led by Tang Xiao mainly accused the Sixth Elder of betraying the sect and issuing false orders in order to instigate internal strife within the Clear Sky Sect and create an opportunity for Ye Qingcang. As for what this so-called opportunity was, it didn't matter with a formidable enemy at hand. In any case, refuting the Sixth Elder was the right thing to do. Since they were about to pin the blame on them, they couldn't just sit and wait to die. Other factions, upon hearing this, thought it wasn't entirely unreasonable. If they chose the wrong side, the Clear Sky Sect would inevitably split apart.
Therefore, these factions that did not belong to the Sixth Elder and Tang Xiao began to try to smooth things over, and the Sixth Elder really did not dare to take action against these factions, for fear of forcing them to side with Tang Xiao.
This commotion caused them to miss the opportunity.
This alerted the native Soul Master of Poseidon Island.
Even though the Sixth Elder managed to suppress the unrest on the Clear Sky Sect's side with a combination of suppression and attack, the Poseidon Island had also made perfect defensive preparations.
This dragged the Clear Sky Sect into the vortex of urban warfare.
Urban warfare is different from positional warfare.
Urban warfare leans more towards street fighting.
At the beginning of the battle, the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect did indeed advance triumphantly. As disciples of the number one sect in the world, the Clear Sky Hammer gave them not only confidence but also the courage to smash anyone they saw. However, after the main streets of the city were occupied, the battle directly entered the second extreme stage of street fighting.
The native Soul Master of Poseidon Island have carved through the ground.
I don't know where the seawater came from.
Perhaps the city already had similar setups.
The disciples of the Clear Sky Sect had no choice but to face attacks from unknown directions in waist-deep water, in unfamiliar terrain.
Morale was dampened, and the offensive was thwarted.
Even the Sixth Elder himself joined the battle.
Even though the Poseidon Seven Holy Pillars are dead.
But Poseidon Island has a total of seven cities, plus a main city built on the outskirts of the Poseidon Temple. If the Sixth Elder can suppress one city, how could they possibly suppress all eight cities on Poseidon Island at the same time?
Moreover, the Soul Master of Poseidon Island are fearless and undaunted.
As long as there is a breath left, they will get up and continue fighting for their beliefs.
Even if it means death, we must do our best to cause harm to the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect.
From Soul Douluo to ordinary people.
They were scattered into eight groups, each with fewer than five hundred Clear Sky Sect disciples. In eight major cities, each with a population of over a million, it was like five hundred Evil Spirit Tiger Whale being surrounded by a million Devil Soul Great White Shark. This was no longer a question of whether the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale could fight; the advantage in numbers had surpassed the advantage in quality.
Even after the Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder arrived and suppressed the five cities respectively, the Clear Sky Sect disciples in three of the cities were still routed. Most importantly, the so-called suppression of the five cities was only a superficial one. Basically, whenever Clear Sky Sect disciples in a certain area were attacked, the Clear Sky Sect elders would go there, and other areas would also launch riots at the same time, trying to retake the positions in the city.
This includes houses, shops, and palaces.
City Lord's Mansion?
If you've given in, you've given in!
Everything's messed up now!
Let's just keep playing randomly then!
There were no instructions; it all depended on self-discipline!
On Poseidon Island, we can sacrifice the Goddess of Life of fifty Soul Master to reclaim the position from the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect elders move. However, it would be a loss if even one Clear Sky Sect disciple were to be exchanged, because the Clear Sky Sect disciples are few in number and cannot be exchanged!
There were fewer than 500 people, and they were all gone after a while.
In addition, many Clear Sky Sect disciples were going to the battlefield for the first time.
We're facing a battle of this level again.
In the counter-offensive, quite a few died.
Other disciples of the Clear Sky Sect either collapsed and lost their will to fight, or they barely adapted, but they still tried their best to capture the positions one by one, not daring to take any risks, for fear of losing their lives due to negligence.
It can be said that...
"The debuffs are almost fully stacked."
"It would be a miracle if they could win."
"But it's alright."
Looking at the city blocking his way, Ye Qingcang touched his brow, unleashing his spiritual power to silently eliminate the resisters one by one. "Because you failed to end the battle before I arrived!"
