Chapter 2565: Chapter 528: Reestablishing the Human Order (Part 3)
Their intentions are clear; the Sky Clan wants to re-establish the Human Clan’s order.
How to establish order?
Naturally, it is to let their Sky Clan select the Human Clan to establish that order.
If the other side pledges allegiance to them, naturally, they are the selected Human Clan.
But the problem is, who knows what their influence within the Sky Clan is? If one’s allegiance is to those whose power is mediocre within the Sky Clan, when the time truly comes to establish order, both oneself and the Illusionary Chaos Sect would merely be marginalized.
Immortal Lord Bi Zhen seemed to know what the other party was worried about. After a brief pause, she continued, "Human Clan, we need you to make a decision quickly. We hope you won’t keep our Sixth Prince waiting too long."
"The Sixth Prince?" The Illusionary Chaos Sect Leader furrowed his brows slightly, his face showing a hint of surprise. He knew the Sky Clan had a total of ten princes, who were the most outstanding descendants among the Heaven Clan’s Imperial Clan.
One prince among the ten, though not the highest-ranked prince, is also not the lowest-ranked prince.
Since he is a prince, his power must not be trifling.
He had originally planned to find an opportunity to pledge allegiance to the Sky Clan. Now that the prince himself had come, what was there to hesitate about?
He made a quick decision and spoke, "Given this, we are willing to assist the Sky Clan in re-establishing the Human Clan’s order."
"A wise choice." Immortal Lord Bi Zhen’s face broke into a brilliant smile.
At the mountain gate of the Illusionary Chaos Sect, upon hearing this, the faces of some people suddenly changed.
"Sect Leader, did you... did you pledge allegiance to them?"
"Sect Leader, the words of the Sky Clan should not be readily believed; what if they are deceiving us?"
"Sect Leader, wouldn’t such an action betray our Human Clan?"
Some voiced their concerns, but others remained silent, clearly whether due to fear of the Sect Leader or simply out of fear, they agreed with the Illusionary Chaos Sect Leader’s decision to pledge allegiance to the Sky Clan.
Upon hearing this, the Illusionary Chaos Sect Leader glanced at those who spoke up, his face revealing a chilling coldness as he said sternly, "Are you teaching me how to be a Sect Leader?"
A terrible pressure bore down on them.
Instantly, the faces of those who had just spoken changed dramatically, showing fear. Some even directly fell to their knees with a thud, saying repeatedly, "We don’t dare, Sect Leader, we don’t dare question you!"
"Sect Leader, we shall follow your instructions!"
"The Sect Leader’s decision is our decision."
The Illusionary Chaos Sect Leader looked at those who had changed their minds instantly, nodded in satisfaction, then turned and said to the side, "Dismiss our Great Formation!"
All around, the cultivators who had already entered the Mountain Protection Array heard this, and their faces changed drastically. But seeing the Sect Leader’s look that brooked no refusal, they quickly withdrew their cultivation power, and the Mountain Protection Array of the Illusionary Chaos Sect dissipated.
Although the Illusionary Chaos Sect Leader had pledged allegiance to them and had his followers dismiss the formation, his eyes showed a trace of apprehension when looking at the other party; he was not certain whether the other party’s words were true, nor whether they would attack them after dismissing the Mountain Protection Array.
But he had no other choice; he could only gamble.
If they did not dismiss the formation and the opponent launched a strong attack, they wouldn’t be able to withstand it, and he would die all the same.
Given this, why not gamble once? If the other party didn’t deceive them, if they truly sought Human Clan representatives, they would survive.
Immortal Lord Bi Zhen watched the glow of the Mountain Protection Array on the great sect’s mountain gate dissipate and smiled.
Soon, members of the Sky Clan descended onto the Illusionary Chaos Sect’s mountain gate.
After realizing they hadn’t attacked, the Illusionary Chaos Sect Leader finally breathed a sigh of relief; this time, it seemed he had made the right gamble.
Soon enough, Immortal Lord Bi Zhen’s voice echoed over: "You did well. Now, we need your help to identify which Archbishops will join us and follow the Sixth Prince to re-establish the Human Clan’s order and which ones are the disruptive members of the Human Clan.
Now, I need a list; do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood." The Illusionary Chaos Sect Leader quickly nodded, understanding that they were essentially asking him which would pledge allegiance to the Sky Clan and which great teachings would not.
Soon, the Illusionary Chaos Sect Leader listed a roster.
"Very good, then next, help us recruit these people to pledge allegiance to our Sky Clan, and as for those who won’t, deceive them to lower their sect’s guard."
With their strength, they could undoubtedly break through all mountain gates of great teachings in the Eastern Province.
But indeed, dealing with these sect’s gates would bring some trouble by wasting their time and possibly causing them some loss.
However, as long as there are members of the Human Clan who can deceive other sects to lower their Mountain Protection Array, they could easily crush that great teaching without any losses.
Soon, members of the Illusionary Chaos Sect flew towards the distance.
At the same time, before some great teachings were broken into, they employed various methods to have their disciples escape, preserving the sect’s lineage.
These escapees fled either to other further great teachings seeking refuge or to the mortal world.
