A Single Word Decides the Fate of the Azure Cloud Continent
The dignified Heavenly Profound Daoist Tianxuan, a master of the Dao Integration Realm, personally came out to preach and cultivate his disciples, showing that he was unwilling to abandon the foundation of the Heavenly Profound Sect.
Now that Zhang Yang has said he'll unify the continent, Heavenly Profound Daoist has a lot of ideas.
Is this an attempt to unify the Heavenly Profound Sect as well?
How can we unify them?
"Oh!" Heavenly Profound Daoist replied indifferently, he really didn't know what to say.
Zhang Yang naturally noticed Heavenly Profound Daoist's unusual behavior and could roughly guess what he was thinking. However, he didn't concern himself with Heavenly Profound Daoist 'Heavenly Profound Daoist thoughts for the time being and continued, "Did you sense the great battle that happened not long ago, senior?"
Heavenly Profound Daoist sighed and nodded, saying, "I could sense it and knew that a great battle had taken place. However, the scene was too frightening, and I didn't dare to investigate further... Moreover, another great battle was taking place not far away."
I saw a terrifying ball of flame drift by from afar, its power far exceeding that of the Dao Integration Realm.
Faced with such power, if I rashly try to investigate, I will surely offend people.
So... you've come at the right time. I was just about to ask, what exactly happened?"
"Oh, it's nothing major. It's just that nine major sects launched an attack on the Azure Cloud Sect." Zhang Yang said nonchalantly. "They sent ten Tribulation Realm cultivators to guard the area around the Azure Cloud Continent, ready to invade at any time."
In addition, they dispatched twenty-seven Peak Dao Integration Realm, plus Zhou Xuansheng, Late Tribulation Realm, intending to completely annihilate the Azure Cloud Sect."
Heavenly Profound Daoist gasped. This couldn't be a joke, could it?
The combined attack of Nine Great Sects —what terrifying power that is!
The kid is standing right in front of me now, perfectly fine; he must be joking.
After realizing what he had just said, Heavenly Profound Daoist said in an annoyed tone, "Don't joke around!"
"I'm not joking!" Zhang Yang stared at Heavenly Profound Daoist, "At the critical moment of life and death, our Azure Cloud Sect simply cooperated with the Demon Lord and released fifteen Demon Lord."
With the addition of my master's Tribulation Realm power, and the combined might of sixteen Tribulation Realm, we annihilated twenty-seven Peak Dao Integration Realm in one fell swoop and forced back ten Tribulation Realm from the Nine Great Sects.
Finally, the five Demon Lord stormed into the Myriad Spirits Continent, forcing the Myriad Spirits Sect to sign a humiliating treaty.
Subsequently, by threatening fifteen Demon Lord, they forced the Nine Great Sects to pay a total of over 60 billion Spirit Stone in compensation to the Azure Cloud Sect!
He concealed the number of Demon Lord, and even Heavenly Profound Daoist did not truly disclose it.
Heavenly Profound Daoist stared blankly at Zhang Yang Heavenly Profound Daoist a long while before angrily saying, "You brat, I told you not to joke around!"
These things sounded like pure fantasy to him.
The Azure Cloud Sect is for Demon Suppression. If fifteen Demon Lord emerge, will the Azure Cloud Continent still exist?
The Nine Great Sects have collectively paid over 60 billion in compensation?
Isn't this a complete fantasy?
"Tian Xuan, he's not joking!" Azure Cloud Master's voice rang out. "We did indeed fight them not long ago."
You can confirm this matter once you make some inquiries.
He may not have arrived in person, but his attitude has already been conveyed.
Heavenly Profound Daoist was dumbfounded.
He naturally wouldn't believe Zhang Yang's words, but he had to believe Azure Cloud Master's.
Heavenly Profound Daoist never imagined that such a terrible thing had already happened while he dared not look at the turmoil in the world.
Even he, a cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm, doesn't know this; how many people in the entire Azure Cloud Continent know?
"The terrifying 'flame' you saw not long ago was Gu Qiang of the Devil Race Clan!" Zhang Yang said solemnly, "He is the Flame Demon!"
Heavenly Profound Daoist's gaze was somewhat unfocused.
He was utterly shocked.
After a long while, he finally came to his senses, swallowed hard, and asked, "And then?"
Zhang Yang's expression was solemn as he slowly said, "The Nine Great Sects have suffered a crushing defeat and have had to pay over 60 billion Spirit Stone in compensation. They will definitely not let this go."
The reason they dare not move now is because the Azure Cloud Sect currently has enough power to suppress them.
However, for various reasons, the Azure Cloud Sect only lasted for twenty years.
Twenty years later, war will break out again across the land.
We need to spend twenty years developing enough power to fight against the Nine Great Sects.
The Nine Great Sects will certainly not allow us to develop in peace.
I am confident that there will be no unrest within the Azure Cloud Sect. The only force that could affect the Azure Cloud Sect is the other forces on the Azure Cloud Continent.
That is why I must unify the Azure Cloud Continent.
So, I'm asking for help from a senior colleague.
We must unite as one and do everything in our power to increase our strength, otherwise, twenty years from now, it may very well be the day our Azure Cloud Continent perishes!
Heavenly Profound Daoist finally understood.
He gave a bitter smile and asked, "Although I'm reluctant to give up the foundation of the Heavenly Profound Sect, I know what I should do now. Besides, what else do you need me to do?"
He knew very well that if the situation was really as Zhang Yang had described, then there would truly only be one path for the Azure Cloud Continent.
Zhang Yang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Senior, it seems you've misunderstood something."
When I say "unify the continent," I don't mean to bring all forces under the control of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Over the past thousand years, kingdoms like Cloud Mountain and Cloud Soaring have emerged on the Azure Cloud Continent, along with many sects in the north, and even the legendary Heavenly Profound Sect of our predecessors.
These forces can all develop in the Azure Cloud Continent in the future.
Our Azure Cloud Sect will forever only occupy the current 300-mile territory and will never covet your lands.
However, all of this is based on one premise: all forces must be under the command of the Azure Cloud Sect!
At least until the crisis on the Azure Cloud Continent is resolved, they must be under the command of the Azure Cloud Sect.
After all, if we're dealing with nine major sects in front of us, and someone is causing trouble behind our backs, it'll be very difficult.
Now, we cannot tolerate even the slightest mistake.
I think the senior colleague should be able to understand this approach.
Heavenly Profound Daoist looked at Zhang Yang with surprise. Could his legacy be preserved?
In his view, the Azure Cloud Sect's current power is too terrifying, and it is simply impossible to confront them.
Moreover, the Azure Cloud Sect did this in order to protect the entire Azure Cloud Continent, and as a person of the Azure Cloud Continent, it was only natural for him to contribute.
It's just that they're somewhat unwilling to accept their past achievements.
Now that his business empire is safe, he has no other problems.
"Is there anything else I can help you with?" Heavenly Profound Daoist asked curiously.
Zhang Yang said with a smile, "A few years ago, I suggested that you form Sect Alliance. Now, it's time for the Sect Alliance to make its move."
I would like to ask for your help to convene a meeting of the various Sect Alliance to convey my opinion.
"No problem!" Heavenly Profound Daoist readily agreed. "Wait for me to make the arrangements. I'll go find them immediately and make sure this matter is completed."
"Thank you very much, senior!" Zhang Yang said. "Please let me know the results after you finish the meeting with them."
I'm currently handling all the matters concerning the Azure Cloud Sect.
"The plan for the Azure Cloud Continent was also devised by me, and I need to know the results as soon as possible."
Heavenly Profound Daoist looked at Zhang Yang with great shock. He hadn't expected that Azure Cloud Master would actually entrust everything to Zhang Yang.
At this moment, this kid is the most powerful person in the entire Azure Cloud Continent!
Unfortunately, the marriage alliance between the Heavenly Profound Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect did not succeed!
In addition, he was somewhat worried: could the Azure Cloud Continent really be preserved?
How could other sects let Azure Cloud Continent off so easily?
