"With just the Sky-Supporting Tribe, they think they can wipe out Netherblood Island? Arrogant fools!"
"Of course the Sky-Supporting Tribe alone can't do it. Aren't they planning to hire cultivators to help?"
"Hire them? With that paltry handful of immortal crystals, they expect cultivators to risk their lives? Wishful thinking!"
"They say Netherblood Island is led by Blood Venerating Island, with the Devil Race helping behind the scenes. Out in the open alone, they have one Devil Emperor, four Devil Kings, and dozens of greater devils. They're bound to have even more hidden away. Just watch. The Sky-Supporting Tribe will suffer a crushing defeat this time. They might even get wiped out themselves!"
"Of course. If Nine-Dragon Island weren't guarded by so many demonic beasts, Netherblood Island would have conquered it long ago!"
"You can't put it that way. Whatever else the Sky-Supporting Tribe might be, it's still a power of our Heavenfall Sea. Netherblood Island, on the other hand, is colluding with the Devil Race. It's obvious which side we should choose!"
"Exactly! The Sky-Supporting Tribe has over a million tribespeople alone. Add cultivators from all the other races, and that makes more than three million. How many people does Netherblood Island have? Blood Venerating Island could send tens of thousands of disciples at most. Even with the Devil Race, they'd barely reach a few hundred thousand. We could bury Netherblood Island under sheer numbers!"
"In a war between powers, you think numbers alone are any use? It mainly comes down to the great adepts..."
As soon as the Sky-Supporting Tribe announced that its High Priest had been assassinated and that the Devil Race had sabotaged and plundered Nine-Dragon Island, openly declaring that it would soon muster its forces to attack, the entire island erupted.
