Free Web NovelChapter 463: Chapter 59: The Immortal Master Descends
Youxiong and Jiuli Frontline.
Having just engaged in another confrontation, Xuanyuan who could already match against Jiuli.
Although there was no battle with Chi You this time, it was merely a skirmish between the basic troops, leveraging Wind Queen’s arrays.
Made Xuanyuan feel that he could already contend with Jiuli.
But he never expected a sudden thunder to leave Xuanyuan stunned.
"Lie Mountain has merged with Jiuli?"
Even Xuanyuan, who had grown to believe nothing could shake him, was now taken aback.
The joy of barely being able to contend with Jiuli dissipated entirely.
Handling Jiuli itself was already an extremely difficult task, Jiuli’s weapons were simply too absurd.
Their range was too long, coupled with Jiuli’s witchcraft not being inferior to their own immortal techniques.
Only due to the constant adjustments made by Wind Queen’s arrays could they gradually contend with them.
Focusing on defense, slowly wearing down Jiuli’s living strength, and now you’re telling me that Lie Mountain Tribe has joined Jiuli Tribe.
Everyone knows Lie Mountain excels in the Medicine Immortal Path, who can compare in attrition warfare.
Previously, when Ma Shihuang brought a batch of cultivators to pledge allegiance, there was joy.
But looking back now, I’m afraid Ma Shihuang and his people foresaw Lie Mountain would join Jiuli.
Being the tribe of Jiuli’s witchcraft origin, there wouldn’t be too many cultivators.
If there were tribe-related ones like Gonggong Tribe and Zhurong Tribe’s cultivators.
They acknowledge the tribe-centric nature, with their various cultivation techniques passed down through the tribe, whereas cultivators mainly inherit through Dao lineages.
This lacks a bloodline connection.
Two Tier Ten, how could they possibly compare to Lie Mountain Tribe, especially now when Shennong is the Common Lord.
Like before, Youxiong Tribe could act with the justification of being a recognized successor to the Common Lord Xuanyuan.
But now.
Even Shennong has joined Lie Mountain.
"Call those people quickly to convene!"
Xuanyuan frowned deeply, for now things indeed surpassed his expectations, previously he felt there was nothing wrong with the idea of attacking Jiuli first.
After witnessing Jiuli Tribe’s strength, even more so.
In such a short time, Jiuli has undergone such a massive transformation.
If the delay continues, the first face-off against Jiuli can only end even more tragically.
"Ancestor."
Just as Xuanyuan ordered someone to find Fang Lingyun and others, Fang Lingyun had already dispatched someone to report.
Xuanyuan looked at Fang Lingyun, and said coldly, "It was because I listened to your advice, that I chose to ally with Lie Mountain first to attack Jiuli."
"Now Lie Mountain and Jiuli have joined forces, Jiuli itself is already strong, with the help of Lie Mountain it’s like adding wings to a tiger."
"If we had chosen to attack Lie Mountain back then with my status.
If we could defeat Lie Mountain, it would be enough to make Lie Mountain submit to Youxiong."
No matter how serene Xuanyuan usually was, now his tone was aggressive.
Fang Lingyun shook his head, "That only means the person who entered this place with us has too much influence on Jiuli."
"Moreover, even though their strength exceeds ours, they have been on the defensive, only probing at first."
Xuanyuan frowned deeply, and said, "You mean, their focus was initially more on the rapid annexation of Lie Mountain?"
Only this way would Jiuli continuously refrain from attacking.
With their strength, if they were to attack, Youxiong would have to retreat.
Retreat to Youxiong would then be a tug-of-war.
And extending Jiuli’s battle line, their logistics will definitely be affected, and their strength will naturally weaken.
At that time, more people might die.
But now only defending without attacking indicates that their focus is not over here.
"So, Ancestor’s words are hard to confirm, once Youxiong advances against Lie Mountain, losing our restraint on Jiuli.
The speed of advancing against Lie Mountain will be faster." Fang Lingyun said, "At that time, if on the route of our army advancing, Jiuli already secured Lie Mountain."
"And we extend our battle line, delve into the depths of Lie Mountain, then Jiuli would seize the opportunity, and could instantly annihilate us."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan’s countenance changed, Fang Lingyun was right.
Once Youxiong’s army delves into the depths of Lie Mountain, returning becomes difficult.
"But no matter what, now that Jiuli’s strength has greatly increased, what should we do?"
Xuanyuan spoke, previously he indeed looked down on these so-called people from the ’future’.
Mainly because, although they were somewhat peculiar firstly, and they were familiar with much information.
But their own strength wasn’t strong, and they often openly and covertly wanted to grasp power in Youxiong.
This made it hard for Xuanyuan to feel assured.
But now, Xuanyuan feels they must be utilized, as those in Jiuli have surely used these people.
That’s why their tribal power has grown so rapidly.
"Ancestor, now we only have some ideas, but we need you to tell us about Lie Mountain’s Common Lord.
Why was its defeat so rapid?"
Xuanyuan hesitated for a moment, as among the higher-ups of the Human Race this actually wasn’t much of a secret.
Then explained the incident of Shennong being severely injured by ’Soulbreaking Aconite’ back then.
Leaving Fang Lingyun surprised, she immediately realized that Shen Fei likely doesn’t just influence Jiuli.
But in a short time has already reached Jiuli’s higher echelons, knowing this extremely crucial information.
Otherwise, by normal logic, like their logic, both Jiuli and Youxiong know each other as major enemies.
They would definitely guard against this.
But Jiuli’s target was directly Lie Mountain.
And despite the prestige of the Common Lord, being injured among the Human Race, like Xuanyuan had no intention of exploiting the situation.
When Shennong was injured, they could attack Lie Mountain, but Jiuli simply went ahead and did it.
This indicates a pusher behind it, certainly a Professional, and there’s a high chance it’s Shen Fei.
Fang Lingyun sighed, "Lie Mountain joining Jiuli has weakened Ancestor’s biggest bargaining chip by countless layers.
To break this situation, perhaps another, more massive power is needed."
"For example?"
"For example, Ancestor’s master, Immortal Venerable Guangcheng. If it was previously a struggle between Youxiong Tribe and Jiuli Tribe for the successor to the Common Lord."
"But now, it has turned into a battle between witchcraft and immortal techniques."
Fang Lingyun wasn’t dull either, she at least knew what Jiuli’s extraordinary powers were.
And often, disputes between two systems can be even more brutal than tribal conflicts.
Because this is the difference of Dao, based on their understanding of history.
Then combining the exploration of the Great Wilderness during this period, with Youxiong’s cultivators, its extraordinary system is connected with many hidden Dao lineages in the Great Wilderness.
And now, what Xuanyuan can leverage, are only these powers.
"It seems that’s the only way." Xuanyuan listened to Fang Lingyun’s analysis, and pondered silently.
Feeling it’s quite reasonable, he nodded.
Then stirred his mana, "Master, this disciple has a request!"
Fang Lingyun hadn’t reacted yet when she saw a Daoist already appearing here, which astonished Fang Lingyun.
Because she couldn’t perceive when this appearance happened.
