Chapter 569: 251: Danger of the Longevity Sect!
Daoist, please flee far_2 Chapter 569: 251: Danger of the Longevity Sect!
Daoist, please flee far_2 An advanced stage Nascent Soul of the Beiyin Holy Mother was already troublesome enough.
And an addition of a possible mid-stage Nascent Soul prince of Mosha made the situation extremely disadvantageous for the Longevity Sect.
Xing Huiguang murmured, “This is an open scheme of combining courtesy and force.
If we don’t accept the challenge, the Four Regions’ war can break out any time.
If we accept and win, this give us a chance to buy more time for now.
...
The longer we can delay, the more beneficial to us.
This is well understand by the Lord of Mosha Country and the Beiyin Holy Mother, which is why they targeted us.
“In any case, a war is inevitable.
Let’s start the war and see who’s stronger!” Guan Chao of the Main Battle Faction coldly voiced.
Xing Huiguang gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
To start a war now, it would be too risky and easier said than done.
Even the demon cultivation side, their main approach is to prod and test.
Unless absolutely necessary, they dare not directly break the covenant and launch a war at the Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation level.
This is why the Beiyin Holy Mother challenged the Nascent Soul of the Longevity Sect.
If the Longevity Sect were defeated, they would surely not surrender the Longevity Daozi and would be deemed dishonest.
At that time, whether other sects would step in when Mosha Country and North Spirit Sect jointly attack the Longevity Sect?
If they don’t, once the Longevity Sect falls, the power of the Eastern Region will directly lose a major part.
If they do, the Nascent Soul treaty would become a useless piece of paper, and the demon cultivation camp would blatantly launch a full-scale attack.
Those neutral forces under such circumstances, would waver, even switching sides to the Northern or Western Region.
That’s the importance of the winning side in a war.
Comparing this way of starting a war, direct war is more brutal and would more likely provoke many neutral forces to counterattack.
These forces, certainly have Nascent Souls and Divine Transformations, which should not be underestimated.
“So now, to buy time, we need to accept their open scheme, and we must win…”
Xing Huiguang took a deep breath, and his eyes shone as he spoke, “I’ve discussed this thoroughly with the Third Ancestor.”
The Elder Ran mummered, “The Beiyin Holy Mother is at the advanced stage of Nascent Soul.
Only our First Ancestor has the certainty to confront her.
As for the Prince of Mosha, rumor has it that he might be at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.
The Second and Third Ancestors confronting him…”
Elder Ran didn’t finish his sentence.
But everyone understood what he meant.
Although the Second and Third Ancestors were at mid-stage Nascent Soul, they might not have an absolute chance to win in a confrontation with the Prince of Mosha.
Because cultivators in Longevity Sect are known to be weaker in combat than cultivators at the same stage, except for Chen Dengming, which was an exception.
Of course, they were weaker in only relative terms, the cultivators of Longevity Sect were still fundamentally superior when combating cultivators at the same stage from minor sects or loose cultivators.
But, reaching the level of Nascent Soul, most were not easy to defeat, particularly the Prince of Mosha.
It’s yet unsure whether the First Ancestor can leave his seclusion and manage to win over the Beiyin Holy Mother, if the Second and Third Ancestors lose, it’ll still be considered as our loss.
Because it’s a competition between two powers.
The Prince of Mosha’s demand must also be the impossible condition of surrendering the Longevity Daozi.
An emergency meeting was held for an hour.
In the end, when the meeting ended, Chen Dengming and Qiu Feng were left to chat privately with Xing Huiguang.
…
“Senior Brother Sect Leader, about this matter…”
Just as Chen Dengming was about to speak, Xing Huiguang raised his hand to stop him, laughing.
“Brother Chen, don’t feel too much pressure.
Today at the meeting, we discussed it too.
This matter has very little to do with you, you only happened to encounter it.
Don’t think that you’ve instigated the crisis of the Sect by being too conspicuous.
Do you really think the Lord of Mosha Country will pay attention to you?”
Chen Dengming was taken aback and then laughed, “Of course not, he’s a Deity Transformation Dao Lord.
He must be mostly concerned about the Ancestor and the three Elders.
However…”
“However, people in our sect, particularly some disciples might misunderstand if they know about it.”
Xing Huiguang shook his head, “But you’re not living your life for others.
As a Daoist, you are responsible for protecting many disciples within the sect.

But you don’t have to bother about fools.”
Chen Dengming felt a warmth in his heart and bowed with a smile, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Actually, he wasn’t being overly sensitive.
He brought it up because he wanted to see Xing Huiguang’s opinion about it.
Looking at it now, Xing Huiguang turned out to be very open-minded.
“But right now, he’s really in danger.” Qiu Feng reminded at this moment.
“Correct!” Xing Huiguang’s face turned solemn again, looking at Chen Dengming, “I kept you here to advise you to leave Longevity Sect and go to the Eastern Border Town before the official start of the contest in a month.”
Chen Dengming was amazed.
Xing Huiguang said solemnly, “This is to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.
If we lose, we will certainly not give up our Daozi.
But by then, not only will the Elders of the Four Regions interfere and coerce, but the Mosha Country and the North Ling Sect will also attack us, even the Lord of Mosha Country might personally act.
Their goal would be reached…”
Chen Dengming’s heart sank like lead.
This was the situation he least wanted to see.
He also knew that Xing Huiguang’s plan was the best solution.
At the moment, with his strength, it seems to be renowned in the Four Regions, but he can’t actually intervene in the war at the Nascent Soul level, he’s just a small fry.
He couldn’t even foolishly say that he would surrender himself in case of defeat, to play the part of a personal hero.
This would only make the enemies laugh and gather some naive sympathy, and would be of no use at all.
