Chapter 1546 In the Open and the Dark
“The Sword Sect?”
Seeing these four people, Fang Qiu was slightly shocked.
Judging from the strength of these four people, the overall strength of the Sword Sect was not bad. It was worthy of being the number one force of Wulin that backed the country. They could mobilize such four great experts.
This kind of manpower was no worse than that of the Nirvana Organization.
No wonder the Nirvana Organization dared to play so many tricks in Zhongdong and Africo, but they didn’t dare to do anything in Huaxia. Even though they had such a good opportunity in the relic in Zangjiang, they only casually sent some people to ambush Fang Qiu and didn’t dare to make a big move.
Judging from the four people sent by the Sword Sect, the Nirvana Organization really couldn’t gain any advantage in Huaxia with the protection of the Sword Sect unless Lord Virtuous of Nirvana took action personally.
However, although the Nirvana Organization had Lord Virtuous, the Sword Sect also had great experts.
Moreover, there were some experienced fighters hidden in Huaxia. Those hidden experts were no worse than Lord Virtuous, such as the old master and the master of Qingshan.
“Greetings, seniors.”
After taking He Gaoming and the others to the border, Fang Qiu shouted at everyone and gave a hold fist salute.
Everyone had long noticed the arrival of John Doe.
However, when John Doe came with the Sword Fanatic, He Gaoming, and the others, the people of the four clans, eight factions, sixteen sects, Pear Garden, and Sword Sect on the scene were all shocked.
They had seen these people who followed John Doe before. At that time, they were all very weak. But it had only been a short time. Such a large group of people’s strengths had all been improved to the eighth class or ninth class. It was really terrifying.
Instantly, everyone stared at the group of brothers behind John Doe. They really wanted to ask how these people improved their strength rapidly. This improvement in speed was really too fast.
Although they wanted to ask, no one could bring themselves to do so.
After all, this was already a secret of John Doe.
Even if they asked, John Doe would definitely not tell them his answer.
They were shocked by the strengths of the men brought by John Doe. Although they were shocked, everyone seemed to be very calm on the surface, as if they didn’t care at all.
“It’s been a long while.”
Diwu Mingchuan took the lead to step forward, make a hold fist salute to Fang Qiu, and said, “It seems that your strength has improved again. I can’t see through you now.”
The other patriarchs also came forward to greet him.
Because Fang Qiu had been suppressing his aura, no one could guess his strength from his aura.
However, even his subordinates had improved to that extent, so how could John Doe not improve?
It should be noted that the biggest point that John Doe became famous in Wulin was that his strength improved at a remarkable speed almost every once in a while. It was not just his strength and realm included but also his terrifying combat capability.
Indeed, John Doe had almost never appeared in Wulin recently. Occasionally, one would hear the news that he was in Zhongdong. Therefore, since the last time, everyone had been guessing whether John Doe’s strength was that of a guru or not.
Now, even Diwu Mingchuan admitted that he couldn’t see through John Doe, so people were not certain if John Doe was a guru.
“Well…”
Just as the four patriarchs and the master of the Pear Garden greeted John Doe, the four Venerables of the Sword Sect also came over and nodded at him with a smile. Then, they said directly, “Time is limited. Since everyone is here, it’s time for us to set off!”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Wait a minute.”
Fang Qiu shouted and said, “Before I arrived, I didn’t expect so many experts to set off this time.
“However, based on the current situation, I think it’s best to keep a low profile.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
A man from the eight factions asked, “What do you mean?”
“Although it’s a temporary union, we must unite because we are going to face metahumans from all over the world. We don’t know how powerful the enemies are, so the only thing we can do is try our best to prepare tactics.
“In a war, the greatest taboo is to reveal your background before the war and let the opponent know it!
“So, if we go there like this, we will definitely be studied by those foreigners. Before they figure out a way to deal with us, they will definitely not blindly charge at us, so I propose that we should go in separate ways, one open and one dark.
“By doing this, no matter what happens, we can help each other. If we can’t deal with the trouble we may encounter openly, we can deal with it secretly. If we show all our strength and get targeted, it won’t be so easy to solve the problem.”
After Fang Qiu said that, everyone nodded in agreement.
“Well, this is indeed a good idea.”
Master Numinous nodded and said, “We have a total of ten gurus. If we stand out together, we may be able to deter them for a while, but it is absolutely impossible to scare them away directly. Therefore, the method proposed by John Doe should be very effective and I think it is feasible.”
“Yes, that’s true.”
“Yes. If we act in the open and in the dark, it will be much safer, and we won’t be so restricted.”
“Although we are going to protect the Laozi Relic, relatively speaking, our protection is not completely passive. If we do as John Doe suggested, we can still take the initiative to attack at the right time. This is indeed a good plan for us.”
The four patriarchs nodded in agreement.
“Okay.”
The four people from the Sword Sect thought about what Fang Qiu said carefully and nodded in agreement.
“How should we divide the teams?” asked a guru from the Sword Sect.
“It’s very simple.”
Fang Qiu smiled and said, “The four patriarchs and I are known experts in Huaxia’s Wulin. We can’t hide it no matter how hard we try. It was also what the foreigners first learned about, so I will be in the open with the four patriarchs. Sword Fanatic and you guys don’t often show up in Wulin. It’s difficult for foreigners to find out even if they investigate, so the five of you will be in the dark.
“In this way, as long as I go with the four patriarchs, the outside world will definitely think that all the experts of Huaxia have come. In this case, they will definitely misjudge our strength, and you five can rest assured to do something that we can’t do in the dark.”
Everyone nodded to show approval of his method.
This was indeed the best dividing method.
Fang Qiu said, “Since everyone agrees, let’s go!”
The four patriarchs from the Sword Sect and Sword Fanatic looked at each other. They then moved at the same time, quickly flying in another direction, and soon disappeared into the forest.
Meanwhile, Fang Qiu and the four clans, together with the people of the eight factions and sixteen sects, directly crossed the border and went all the way to the place where the Laozi Relic was located.
Without the slightest hiding, they chose the shortest route directly.
They passed through a small town and attracted a lot of attention.
“They’re people from Huaxia.”
“It seems that John Doe is taking the lead.”
“I heard that all the elites in Huaxia’s Wulin, including the patriarchs of the four families, have come over. With John Doe, there are a total of five S-level super experts!”
“I didn’t expect Huaxia’s people to come so soon.”
“Five S-level super experts came at once. It seems that Huaxia is determined to win this time.”
“After all, it’s one of the five major countries, and Hua Xia is very mysterious and powerful. It’s not surprising that they can send five S-level experts!”
Although those people said that, those independent organizations were dumbfounded when they heard that there were five S-level experts from Huaxia.
They didn’t expect that Huaxia would send five S-level experts just for the Laozi Relic.
It should be noted that there were not many S-level super experts in the entire world.
Some countries didn’t have such experts.
For example, in Zhongdong, the strongest ones were only A-level experts. There were no S-level figures at all. Egyptt merely had two S-level experts.
Most of the other countries did not have any experts on that level, and even if they did, they had no more than three.
It was already very difficult for those independent forces present to deal with the five S-level experts sent by Huaxia at a time.
Instantly, those forces began to think about it one after another. “Won’t we be asking trouble to make enemies of five S-level super experts?
“What should we do now?”
…
Somewhere in Zhongdong.
“They’re from Huaxia with John Doe being the leader?”
Hearing the news from his subordinate, Lord Virtuous immediately laughed and said, “Great. John Doe is finally here. This time, I’ll make them fight against each other first. In the end, none of them will be able to escape… Haha!”
On a meandering mountain range in Zhongdong about 30 kilometers away from the border of Huaxia, a large group of people were heading for the mountain peak shaped like a dragon head.
With a closer look, one could find that this group of people was led by John Doe. They were from Huaxia.
On the top of a peak ahead, there was a very strange terrain. On the top of the mountain, there was a big sunken ring. This ring was very large and deep. What was wrapped in the ring was a semicircle hill.
It looked like the eye of a dragon while one looked down from the sky.
Right now, a lot of small forces had gathered in that dragon’s eye, and the Gospel Division from Zhongdong was also stationed there. They were massacring the other small forces who had come to take their places in advance.
The battle had begun from the very beginning.
Arriving nearby, He Gaoming asked, “Shall we fight?”
“No. Let them fight for a while.”
Fang Qiu shook his head. The four clans, the eight factions, and the sixteen sects didn’t take action. They just stood outside the dragon’s eye and watched.
On the other side, the people of the Gospel Division didn’t care about the people from Huaxia at all. They still eliminated those small forces one by one.
Eventually, when it was almost done, the members of the Gospel Division turned their heads and focused on John Doe and the others.
“Let’s go. We should thank them for helping us guard the relic,” Fang Qiu said with a faint smile and directly flew over with his men.
After crossing the deep and large round sunken area, they quickly flew to the place where the Gospel Division was going to occupy, which was the center of the relic, the small hill that looked like a dragon’s eye.
