Avoiding Mutual Ruin, Seeing Through Their Intentions
The other two groups from the demonic faction also achieved considerable success.
The Heavenly Devil Sect launches a fierce attack on the Wei Household of the Immortal Blood Aristocratic Clan; the Profound Yin Sect launches a surprise attack on the Mystic Maiden Hall.
Although they did not completely annihilate these two righteous forces, they inflicted heavy damage on them with a surprise attack.
Inside the Heavenly Devil Sect Heavenly Devil Hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect,
The leaders of the major sects of the demonic path gathered together once again. Everyone in the hall was beaming with joy, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Hua Jincheng sat upright in the main seat, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone in the hall, and spoke first:
"We have won a great victory in this operation!"
Although we also suffered heavy losses, the righteous path suffered far more casualties than us, thus achieving our goal of weakening the righteous path.
However, you must not let your guard down now!
The righteous path has suffered such a severe blow, they will surely harbor resentment and seek revenge.
We must maintain constant contact and, should an attack occur, immediately send reinforcements via Spatial Teleportation. We must not give the righteous path any opportunity to exploit the situation!
Upon hearing this, Zhong You immediately smiled and nodded in agreement, "Fellow Daoist Hua is absolutely right!"
Those who follow the righteous path have suffered such a great loss; they will not let this go easily.
We must be more vigilant in the future.
However, to be fair, this battle was truly exhilarating.
If the righteous reinforcements hadn't arrived in time, we could have crippled the Azure Cloud Sect.
Seeing those hypocritical righteous people, their faces filled with grief and indignation, yet utterly helpless against us, was truly exhilarating!
Yin Changfeng, beaming with joy, replied, "Our Profound Yin Sect also breached the Mystic Maiden Hall's mountain gate this time, and almost wiped them out in one fell swoop."
If it weren't for the timely arrival of the righteous reinforcements, the Mystic Maiden Hall might no longer exist in this world.
Hua Jincheng shook his head and retorted in a deep voice, "With the system's Spatial Teleportation now, it's too difficult to completely destroy a sect."
Even if the battle goes against them, the enemy can escape in time. Although they suffer heavy losses, they will not be completely annihilated.
Zhong You nodded in agreement. "In this era of systems, it is indeed too difficult to destroy a sect."
Moreover, our original intention in launching this war between good and evil was merely to weaken the strength of the righteous path.
Instead of fighting them to the death, we should force them to the negotiating table and sign a peace agreement.
If the righteous and demonic paths were to fight to the point of mutual destruction, the martial artists in the mortal realm would probably be laughing their heads off.
Yin Changfeng nodded repeatedly, his face full of agreement. "That's absolutely right!"
Although Wu Xiu's strength is currently insufficient and he lacks the confidence to compete, we must not let our guard down.
After all, the Immortal Cultivation System and the Dao Seed Martial Dao System are completely different systems, and they may conflict in the future.
Therefore, the battle between the righteous and the demonic forces must be carefully balanced. We must never let it escalate to the point of mutual destruction, lest the martial arts practitioners end up reaping the benefits.
Moreover, we started this great war only to buy time to reorganize our sect and implement reforms.
"I just want to cultivate peacefully and become an immortal, not really fight to the death with the righteous path."
The leaders of the other Devil Dao Sect in the hall echoed their sentiments, their words filled with agreement:
"Our actions this time are merely to rebalance the strength of the righteous and demonic paths, and incidentally eliminate some scourges. How could we possibly fight to the point of mutual destruction?"
If in the end someone else gets the benefit, then it's truly a case of losing more than you gain!
Hua Jincheng nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and added in a steady tone:
"Now that the war between good and evil has begun, the righteous path has suffered such heavy losses and will certainly not give up easily. We still need to be careful."
Once we've thoroughly humiliated and frightened them, we can extend an olive branch for peace talks. At that point, even if they're unwilling, they'll have no choice but to agree.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall nodded repeatedly, their faces full of agreement.
Immediately afterwards, everyone began to discuss countermeasures, devising ways to deal with the impending counterattack from the righteous path.
On one hand, they finalized a plan to attack the righteous sects again, aiming to further weaken their strength.
The Azure Cloud Sect's mountain gate was a scene of utter devastation.
The disciples were busy clearing away the broken walls and scattered corpses.
The sect's experts rearranged the sect's protective formation to guard against another invasion by the demonic sects.
Azure Cloud Hall, the leaders of various righteous sects gathered together, each with a solemn expression and intense killing intent surging in their eyes.
This time, the righteous sects suffered heavy losses from the sneak attack by the demonic forces, especially the Azure Cloud Sect, Mystic Maiden Hall, and Wei Household, which were hit hard and were severely weakened.
Ye Changqing sat in the main seat, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping over everyone in the hall, breaking the silence first:
"Fellow Daoists! This time, the demonic cultivators have shown no martial ethics whatsoever. They launched a surprise attack without warning, causing heavy losses to the righteous path."
This hatred and resentment must not be allowed to end easily!
Only by repaying a debt with a debt of blood can we instill fear in those wicked scoundrels.
Otherwise, do they really think that the righteous sects are pushovers to be manipulated?
Wei Yan, the head of the Wei Household, said in a grim voice, "Fellow Daoist Ye is right!"
This time, the demonic path has taken the initiative to provoke a war between good and evil; we will not let this go unpunished and must deliver a thunderous blow.
The Palace Master of the Mystic Maiden Hall, Liu Qingqing, had her stunningly beautiful face now covered in frost, yet her bright eyes revealed a wisdom that seemed to see through the entire situation.
"The root cause of this battle between good and evil is the Fairness System."
Its appearance disrupted the balance between the righteous and the demonic paths.
The Devil Dao Sect fear that the existence of Fairness System will allow our righteous path to grow stronger than their demonic path, ultimately leading to our complete suppression and even annihilation.
Only then did they brazenly launch a war, attempting to weaken the strength of our righteous path and force us to sit at the negotiating table and sign a peace agreement.
"Give them enough time to reform, so they don't fall completely behind us."
"What Fellow Daoist Liu said is absolutely right; this is exactly what the Devil Dao Sect are planning."
But their schemes go far beyond that.
They also wanted to use this war between good and evil to wipe out all the scourges within their sect, so they could completely sever ties with the past and adapt to this new era!
Cai Qiang, the leader of the Supreme Profound Sect, spoke calmly.
He had long been aware of the dangers posed by those who could not be bound to the system, and had previously purged the scum within the sect through a major sect war with the Demonic Flame Sect.
Liu Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she exclaimed loudly, "What a brilliant plan!"
Those Devil Dao Sect are indeed still harboring this wishful thinking, wanting to use us to help them clean house.
Unfortunately, even if we see through it all, there's nothing we can do!
Upon hearing this, Ye Changqing suddenly realized what was happening, his expression shifting rapidly between light and dark, before a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes:
"These scourges and scum within the sect certainly need to be thoroughly cleaned up!"
Otherwise, keeping them around might cause trouble someday.
If the rules of the Fairness System are violated, resulting in the entire sect being unbound from the system or even being given a mission to be wiped out, then there will be no hope of redemption!
Furthermore, this time the demonic forces attacked my Azure Cloud Sect under the guise of eliminating those who cannot be bound to the system.
Wei Yan nodded solemnly, "That's right. We must eliminate all these scoundrels and leave no hidden dangers behind!"
Upon hearing this, the other leaders of the righteous sects in the hall instantly realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded in agreement.
"Excellent! If even the Devil Dao Sect dare to clean house, we righteous sects should act even more decisively and purge these scoundrels!"
