But for all thirty-odd members of the sect leader's faction to defect to other sects and collude with outsiders? Nothing like that had ever happened in Muyun Prefecture.
Venerable Tianhong could not have believed it. He could not even have imagined it.
As he pondered in silence, Venerable Tianhong kept glancing at Cheng Jingfeng, unable to understand his behavior.
Just then, Su Shi'er smiled calmly and said, "Martial Brother Cheng's proposal is not without merit. But the Heavenly Evolution Secret Realm is vast. Even with an advantage in numbers, wiping everyone out in one stroke would be no easy task!"
"Judging by what happened before the Inheritance Stone Statues appeared, both sects must have brought cultivators skilled in formations."
"If my guess is right, the two sects will very likely join forces again and lay their plans elsewhere. They can wait at ease for us to tire ourselves out, then use formations to seize the advantages of time and terrain."

They were quick-witted themselves. With Su Shi'er's reminder, they shifted their thinking and immediately grasped the crux of the matter.
"Elsewhere? You mean... where the Teleportation Array is?" Venerable Tianhong frowned and spoke at once.
"That would be troublesome. We can't leave the Heavenly Evolution Secret Realm without the Teleportation Array. If the Great Zhao Dynasty and Demon Shadow Palace set things up in advance, a fierce battle will be unavoidable. It seems... we must prepare early."
As Venerable Tianhong spoke, everyone present nodded thoughtfully.
Every cultivator there understood the danger of the Great Zhao Dynasty and Demon Shadow Palace joining forces.
Cheng Jingfeng, too, focused his attention on Su Shi'er.
His eyes shifted slightly, glinting with thought.
Hm?
As expected of Su Shi'er, cunning as a fox. His analysis is remarkably precise! But...
