Chapter 267: The Enemy Falls by a Marvelous Plan
Chapter 265 – A Strange Plan to Fall Enemy Invaders
How many of these nine Harmonization powerhouses from the Five Elders Association ended up dying, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance didn’t mention in their announcement.
But the losses were definitely heavy.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so bad that the Five Elders Association, which had just been arrogant, had instantly become like a toothless tiger, shrinking their forces and turning from offense to defense.
In this incident, the only one known to the public, the fallen Harmonization cultivator.
Instead, they belonged to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
But instead of dying in battle, they were executed.
Because, he was a spy.
A spy who had hidden deep within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for nearly a thousand years, and no one had ever been able to detect it.
Before his status was honored and his identity was revealed, no one would have suspected him of being a spy for the Five Elders Association.
Tianyu Prefecture, Purple Vault Immortal Dignity.
Sitting at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s Martial Arts Hall, he was too noble to be recognized.
It was because of this Violet Vault Immortal Duke’s secret transmission of information that the Five Elders’ Association, after some probing and verification, became convinced of the news that “a Harmonization Cultivator is about to be promoted to Everlasting Heavenly Dignity”.
Thus, they made the strategic move of “sending nine-life Harmonized Dao cultivators to go deep into the enemy’s territory”, which was extremely risky.
Because this was not the first time.
In the previous operations, the Five Elders Association had gotten a good taste of it.
The last time they did so, it was a raid on the Five Elemental Great Cave Heaven.
That’s right, at that time, the one who revealed the news of the Five Elements Great Cave Sky was also this Violet Vault Immortal.
His men had received a message from the expedition team asking for help, hoping that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters would send someone to assist in relocating the Five Elements Great Cave Sky.
Regarding how valuable this cave sky was, this Violet Vault Immortal Exalt was clearer than the vast majority of people in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
So he secretly conveyed the message to the Five Elder Council.
That was why the Five Elders Association’s side was able to react so quickly, even arriving before the support from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance arrived.
Even if the pursuit team of eight Harmonized Dao cultivators was sent out later by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in annoyance.
With the leak from the highly placed Violet Vault Immortal Dignitary, the Five Elders Association’s side knew everything about their staffing.
If not for an unexpected situation.
One of the neglected Transformation God cultivators in the team had actually erupted with a combat power comparable to that of a Harmonized Dao, and was able to save the day at a critical juncture.
I’m afraid that the eight Harmonized Dao practitioners in charge of the pursuit would probably all be accounted for on the battlefield.
But even so, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had hemorrhaged money in this incident.
Although the Five Elders Association had also suffered some losses, it was completely acceptable in comparison.
The only pity was that because of the suddenness of the incident, there was no time to mobilize enough manpower in haste.
The mission of stealing the Five Elements Grand Cavern was considered a failure.
Regardless, as the deepest nail that the Five Elders Association had buried into the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the information he provided should be absolutely trustworthy.
Therefore, even if one were to send a Nine Lives Harmonious Dao cultivator deep into enemy territory, this kind of behavior was, theoretically speaking, extremely risky.
The Five Elders Association still did it.
Thus, they fell into the trap that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had carefully woven for them.
Regarding the inexplicable leakage of the news of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven last time, there had been people within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who had been harboring a grudge.
This cultivator, whose name was not stated in the announcement.
It was only referred to as [Lone Ying] instead.
A close friend of Lone Ying’s was one of the eight Harmonization cultivators involved in the pursuit.
The tragic death of his best friend was coupled with his duty.
Lone Ying vowed to find the spies who were hiding deep within the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
After the end of the Great Battle of Tian Ling Zhou, the investigation process was initiated within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
It was Lone Ying who was in charge of this matter.
Unfortunately, the Violet Vault Immortal Sovereign was too high and too well hidden.
Even if there was some suspicion, without substantial evidence, there was no way to do anything about him.
The end result could only be that nothing could be done.
However, Lone Ying did not give up easily.
A bold plan was born in his mind.
Nonetheless, it was actually quite simple. It was just the words “luring snakes out of their holes”.
But this plan involves too much, the slightest carelessness may lead to the loss of all our efforts.
Lone Ying was a bit hesitant at first.
But he eventually resisted the pressure and slowly completed the layout.
Gradually, there was news of a Harmonization Cultivator within a Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who was about to certify to Eternal Life.
It began to quietly circulate amongst the top echelons of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
And, many Harmonious Dao cultivators received invitations to assist in the battle and were nowhere to be found.
Naturally, Immortal Violet Dome had also learned of this news.
However, there was no way for Violet Vault to guarantee the accuracy of the news.
Coupled with the fact that he had just been investigated not long ago, he had yet to be completely cleared of any suspicion.
Violet Dome also did not intend to personally risk himself to verify the authenticity of this message.
However, this matter was again too significant.
If a new Eldritch Heavenly Father is born in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance ……
After hesitating for a long time, Zi Qiong still passed this piece of news to the Five Elders Association.
It was just for the Five Elders Association to verify it on their own.
The Five Elders Association that received the news took it extremely seriously.
It coincided with the sudden descent of a sect relic to the Nine Mountain State bordering the two sides, attracting the attention of countless cultivators.
The Five Elders Association then took this opportunity to send a God-realizing cultivator to test the waters with great fanfare.
The reaction of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was bizarre.
It spoke more tough words than anyone else and issued a solemn warning, saying, “If you dare to come, you’ll die”.
However, it only sent a few Transformation Gods to press the battlefield.
Since when can a God of Transformation cultivator press the line?
Where are the many Harmonization cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance at this moment?
One must know that if there were no Harmonized Dao cultivators to sit in on the battlefield.
Even without using other forces, let this Goddess of Transformation cultivator called Luo Xi go solo.
If there were only Harmonized God cultivators in the Nine Mountain State, could the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance do anything to him?
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would not be unaware of this.
It was hard not to just endure the loud slap in the face?
What happened?
The so-called solemn warning.
In the eyes of the Five Elders, it was obvious that there was some colorfulness.
Instead of showing it to the Five Elders’ Council, it was more like showing it to their own people within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
It was just a matter of settling the hearts of the people.
It seemed that the news conveyed by the Violet Vault Immortal was most likely true!
Within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, there really was a Harmonized Dao cultivator who was about to commit the act of [Reversing the Reason of Heaven and Earth].
Even the results of multiple divination and deduction had verified that this matter was true!
The Five Elders’ Council immediately became a bit anxious.
No wonder the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would hold back, compared to a newly promoted Everlasting Heavenly Father.
Not to mention a little face, even losing a few states of land would be acceptable.
Once one waited for the promotion to succeed, all of this lost would come back in a matter of moments.
No, it must be stopped!
Thus, the Five Elders Association steeply declared war.
At the same time, a team of nine Harmonious Dao cultivators, based on the information provided by Zi Qiong, traveled to Tianyu Prefecture on a mission to sabotage the promotion.
However, they didn’t realize that everything was a setup.
……
Li Fan looked puzzled and repeatedly read this toe-curling announcement from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance several times.
Only in the end did he let out a long breath.
“Without standing at that height, it’s impossible to understand the full picture of what happened.”
“For what really happened, perhaps the only way to look back is after it’s over.”
“Only then can you learn a thing or two.”
