Chapter 434: How a powerful force can be defeated

“Sect Leader, I’ve received news that the Divine Calcination Sect has made a deal with the Chi Ginseng Valley ……”

Inside the main peak of the Dao Jian Sect, inside the council hall, a deacon elder was reporting the latest information to Gu Yue Ming, who was on the upper seat.

“They will be providing a large number of top-grade level magic weapons and even low-grade magic treasures for Chi Shen Valley. We conservatively estimate that by the time the war starts, each of the disciples of Chi Sam Valley’s own sect will have at least two top-grade magic weapons. And the smaller sects that traveled to Chi Sen Valley for support will most likely receive a small amount of magic weapon support as well.”

“Sect Leader, the Yan Han Kingdom also has sects that have risen up to come to the Zhi Ginseng Valley ……,” Liu Boxian said with Gu Yue Ming, “The news from all sides have been summarized, and we conservatively estimate that the Zhi Ginseng Valley will end up with more than fifty YuanYing cultivators, and more than a thousand Jindan cultivators. ”

“Sect Leader, the side of the Chi Shen Valley has already released the news ……,” He Daoguang voiced out, “In this war, the sects that help the Chi Shen Valley will have a 20% discount on the price of elixirs for the five years afterward. Not only that, Chi Shen Valley guarantees that for this battle, for any cultivator who actually goes to the battlefield, there will be no lack of supply of pills.”

“Sect Master ……” he continued, “On the contrary, we are already short of elixirs within the sect, and we only have the elixirs for the monthly payment to be issued next month. We don’t have the reserves of elixirs to sustain a war. If we are unable to purchase elixirs from the Zhi Ginseng Valley, and we fight afterward, we don’t have any elixirs to support us. The casualties at that time …… I dare not imagine.

“Palm Sect!” He looked at Gu Yue Ming and asked, “Where is our Palm Pill Elder?!”

Without a single piece of good news up to now, Gu Yue Ming’s face deepened as he looked at He Daoguang and spoke out, “Elder Qin has closed his doors.”

“Seclusion?!” He Daoguang was furious at his words, “Closing down at such a critical time? Why doesn’t the Sect Leader remove him from the position of Pill Leader?

“Palm Pill Palm Pill, it’s just when the clan needs pills, but he can’t take half a pill, this kind of Palm Pill Elder, what’s the use of having him?”

“How about removing Elder Qin and letting you take charge of the medicine?” Liu Bo Xian asked out loud, “Can you get the pills?”

He Daoguang looked at Liu Boxian, sneered, and said, “The old man palming medicine is at least better than that yellow-mouthed child!”

“You can conjure up elixirs out of thin air? You can change alchemists out of thin air?” Liu Bo Xian pursued.

“The world knows that my Dao Sword Sect has four major peak veins, the Qi Peak maintains the order of the sect, the Sword Peak guards the safety of the sect, may I ask what is the duty and obligation of the Dan Peak?” He Daoguang asked rhetorically, “The existence of the Dan Peak is to provide the sect with pills. Then does Dan Peak have elixirs? Does Dan Peak have alchemists?!”

Liu Boxian sneered and asked, “Back then, when the Dan Peak and Zhi Ginseng Valley fought, you Qi Peak did ……”

“Alright!” Gu Yue Ming suddenly spoke out to stop it, “A great enemy is at hand, why are our own people quarreling first? Like what words?!”

Only then did Liu Bo Xian and He Dao Guang each stop.

“What’s the situation on the Boundless Sword Sect’s side?” Gu Yue Ming asked another elder, “Defensive or offensive?”

“The Boundless Sword Sect is also actively preparing for battle.” The elder voiced out, “Jian Wu Ming said that he will work with the Dao Sword Sect. He organized some cultivators who are good at fighting and said that if the Chi Shen Valley comes towards the Dao Sword Sect, he will support the Dao Sword Sect with all his might.”

Gu Yue Ming nodded without expressing an opinion.

“How deeply righteous is the other Boundless Sword Sect?!” He Daoguang laughed coldly again, “I don’t see that Dan Peak Chief, deliberately bringing people to other people’s sects to show off, thus damaging the friendship between the two sects. Is he trying to prove that he is strong? But what does Lu Junxing, who struck out, have to do with him?”

Liu Boxian sniffed and clapped his hands, “What damage to friendship? It’s that he, Boundless Sword Sect, didn’t beat my Dao Sword Sect! My Dao Sword Sect is just stronger than the Boundless Sword Sect! What’s the problem?

“I only hate that it wasn’t my Sword Peak disciples who went to the Boundless Sword Sect. It’s him, Qin Ran, who has to give me a statement.”

Gu Yue Ming helplessly tapped the table and gestured for Liu Bo Xian to sit down.

“What about the magic weapons and treasures within the sect?” He asked Liu Boxian, “If there are any suitable ones, distribute them as soon as possible and tell the disciples within the sect to familiarize themselves with them as soon as possible so that they can fight.”

“One sword per person at least.” Liu Boxian said, “Sect Leader doesn’t need to worry, my Dao Sword Sect’s disciples can fight as long as they have a sword. Why do we fear him, Zhi Seng Gu?”

“Yes, you’re holding a broken sword, others treasure swords, magic treasures, armor, gloves, shoes, accessories, armed to the teeth.” He Daoguang added, “Mountain bandits and regular elites ……”

“Bang!”

Liu Bo Xian couldn’t hold back any longer, as he slammed the table in front of him and stood up, pointing at He Daoguang and cursing angrily:

“I’ve put up with you for a long time! I’ve been saying one thing and you’ve been saying another, what the hell do you mean? Just stop fighting and let’s surrender to Sesshoumaru, okay? We’re going to support Sesshoumaru as well!!!”

Facing the furious Liu Boxian, He Daoguang was not in a hurry and smiled coldly, “It’s not impossible.

“Cultivators of my generation seek immortality. What’s the difference between practicing at the Dao Sword Sect and practicing at the Chi Shen Valley?

“When the war comes together, there are countless deaths and injuries. Do we have to beat the Dao Sword Sect to the point of destroying the clan before we can count? The contrast in battle power between the two sides is so vast that they know it’s a sure-fire battle, so why do they have to fight? Sending them to their deaths?

“We are cultivators, not mortals; mortals need benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith to maintain the stability of the social order, and need to be loyal to our country; we don’t need to be loyal to our clan.

“Besides, are there not a few mortals who have committed treason?”

“I’ll fucking kill you!” Liu Bo Xian was furious and directly summoned his Intrinsic Sword and slashed at He Daoguang.

He Daoguang was shocked, got up and ducked back, but didn’t pay attention to the chair behind him, and accidentally tripped over the chair and fell to the ground along with the chair.

Seeing this, the surrounding elders hurriedly stepped forward to pull Liu Boxian, and persuaded him in a loud voice, “Head Liu, Head Liu, don’t be angry, don’t be angry ……”

Liu Bo Xian was stopped and threw his sword at He Dao Guang.

He Daoguang panicked and brought over his chair to block Liu Boxian’s insta-sword.

Avoiding the escalation of the dispute, the elders pulled Ryu Bohyun toward the door.

Ryu Bohyun cursed as he backed toward the door while pointing at He Daoguang:

“You’ve been in the Dao Sword Sect for thousands of years, even if it was a rock, it should have become refined. Laozi actually traveled with old unashamed thieves like you for so many years ……”

The Elder pulled Liu Bo Xian out the door, the voice disappeared, and only two people, Gu Yue Ming and He Daoguang, were left in the hall.

Gu Yue Ming got up, walked over to He Daoguang, pulled He Daoguang up, and drew out Liu Bo Xian’s native sword from the chair, and laughed with He Daoguang, “Daoguang doesn’t need to take it personally, Bo Xian was fooling around with you.”

He Daoguang put his clothes in order and laughed coldly, ”I know he didn’t really make a move, otherwise where would I have accompanied him in his act? In a real fight, he may not be my opponent.

“Foolish and reckless, without brains!”

Gu Yue Ming looked at Liu Bo Xian’s sword, the sword pattern engraved on the sword was clearly the word Protecting the Dao.

This sword is called the Sword of the Protector of the Way.

The Tao of the Sword Sect.

The Dao Sword Sect’s Dao Sword.

“How did that happen?” He asked out loud.

The three of them had entered the Dao Sword Sect not too far apart in time, and they had also practiced and asked questions together, searched for opportunities together, and worked together for each other’s backs.

After years of traveling, they return together to the Daojian Sect, wanting to guard the Daojian Sect and wanting to revitalize the Daojian Sect ……

Why …… how did …… this happen?

“Sect Leader, I’ve thought about it carefully.” He Daoguang spoke out, “There will be more than fifty YuanYing cultivators in ZhiShenGu, while we only have a dozen or so in the Dao Jian Sect. So when the time comes and the other cultivators don’t make a move, just these fifty or so YuanYing, one sneeze each, the Dao Jian Sect won’t be able to carry it.

“We really need to make peace with the Chi Seng Valley. As long as we keep the name of the Dao Sword Sect, what’s wrong with even being a subsidiary sect of the Chi Seng Valley?

“I can go and talk to Chi Sen Valley about this matter. I have some friendship with Master Wan of the Chi Seng Valley, you know that.”

Gu Yue Ming’s eyes moved away from the Dao Protecting Sword’s Dao Protecting Ripple and looked towards He Daoguang, his eyes were deep without a single fluctuation of emotion.

“The matter will be discussed again.” He said.

“Palm! Time waits for no one.” He Daoguang advised again, “When the sects that have rushed to aid Chi Shen Valley have all arrived at Chi Shen Valley, Chi Shen Valley will be unprecedentedly powerful by then, and they may not accept our plea for peace!”

“You go back to the Qi Peak first and count whether the disciples and elders who are in seclusion and who have gone out have returned yet.” Gu Yue Ming said, “Tell them all to prepare for battle.”

“Master!”

He Daoguang wanted to say more, but he looked at Gu Yue Ming’s face and still saluted and retired.

“Ugh!” Watching He Daoguang’s back disappear in the doorway, Gu Yue Ming sighed deeply and felt powerless again.

He took the Dao Protector Sword and sat down in place.

Taoist Sword Sect, Taoist Sword Sect.

He had given all he had for this clan, but he had barely sustained it. He hadn’t been able to do more for it.

He didn’t make it stronger.

He would even let it die out in his own hands.

Suddenly there was light and shadow cast in the doorway, and he thought it was Ryu Bohyun coming back for the Protector’s Sword, and raised it to send it over to him, but with his head bowed, he advised:

“What Head He said is just a scenario, even if it’s out of place, you don’t have to get angry. He is after all a YuanYing cultivator, and at the current juncture, every YuanYing cultivator is vital. Sometimes you still need to hold back your anger.”

He also felt ashamed of saying this to Ryu Bo-hyun’s face.

But he waited for a while and didn’t wait for Liu Bo Xian to take the Dao Protector Sword in his hand, and he looked up to see a clean-cut young man standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

“Qin Ran?” He frowned, “Aren’t you in seclusion?”

Qin Ran laughed and asked, “I guess, Chief He’s program must be to surrender to Zhishengu!”

Gu Yue Ming retrieved his sword and held it in his arms like an old man.

He was silent and didn’t answer.

“No matter when, where, or what, there will always be people like this.” Qin Ran followed and sat down in front of Gu Yue Ming, sitting on the ground and laughing, saying.

“In the face of a great enemy, if it were in the mortal world, those who beg for peace would surely be cut at the first opportunity. The reduction in battle power brought about by a faltering military spirit will not necessarily be smaller than the reduction in battle power brought about by the loss of a YuanYing cultivator.”

Gu Yue Ming looked at him and said, “There is no need to mention this matter again.”

“Good.” Qin Ran nodded and stopped talking about the matter, smiling as he asked another question, “Does Sect Leader know what it takes for a fortress that is solid as gold to be conquered?”

If Gu Yue Ming had known, he wouldn’t have been so pessimistic.

“Its outside is naturally solid as gold and difficult to break ……” prompted Qin Ran, “What about its inside?”

Gu Yue Ming’s eyes lit up, vaguely feeling the meaning of what Qin Ran had said.

“Is it also ironclad within? Could it be that everyone is a doppelganger, a puppet, and thinks the same thing?” Qin Ran pursued.

“What do you mean?” Gu Yue Ming asked.

“Inside of it, it’s one different person after another. Different people, each with an idea. There are all sorts of, different ideas.” Qin Ran said, “It’s extremely powerful, it’s solid as gold, but they are one individual after another.

“Different, then there’s a chance of division.

“All solid fortresses are broken from within; all mighty and invincible forces are disintegrated from within.”

Gu Yue Ming suddenly laughed.

“Zhi Ginseng Valley, made some kind of alliance. This alliance is naturally very powerful and strong, and you can no longer find such a powerful force in the Immortal Legacy Land. But ……,” Qin Ran smiled confidently and said with Gu Yue Ming.

“This alliance is formed temporarily by one clan and power after another. Not to mention that it’s impossible for these forces to not have grudges between themselves, and even if they don’t, they can still have them.

“Sect Leader, in my opinion, this alliance is nothing but dirt. The stronger it is, the more fragile it is. It’s like a tall building without a foundation, the taller it is, the more dangerous it is.” He said, “It only looks strong, maybe it only needs to blow a breath and it collapses on its own.”

“Hahahaha ……” someone laughed out loud, but it wasn’t Gu Yue Ming, but someone came in at the door.

Qin Ran looked back and it was Liu Bo Xian who walked in with a big smile on his face.

Liu Bo Xian pointed at him and laughed, “I knew you kid had a belly full of bad water, I wasn’t wrong about you!”

“Uncle Liu!” Qin Ran smiled and saluted.

Liu Boxian walked over and took his own Dao Protector Sword from Gu Yue Ming, stationed it in front of his body and asked Qin Ran, “Say, what are we going to do?!”

“We need three steps ……,” Qin Ran voiced.
