508 Negotiation (2/2)
There was a limit to how much the Snow Storm Stratagem could withstand. Moreover, the stronger the martial arts practitioners of the Sacred Flame Sect, the more Spiritual power would be expended. If the Sacred Flame Sect was to use an attack of a similar strength daily, it would be a difficult task for the Intentionless Sect to sustain for a week.
Mo Wen and Chen Zikuang were the only people in the hall. Almost all the others were out in the fight because of the insufficient manpower, meaning that it was impossible for any other elders to be in the Fight Consolidation Hall.
As the Sect Leader and Deputy Sect leader of the Sacred Flame Sect, who were exceptional experts, had not appeared in the fighting ground, Chen Zikuang had a bit of leisure time, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be sitting around with Mo Wen.
”Reasonably, in the eyes of the Sacred Flame Sect, it's beyond a doubt that they would defeat the Intentionless Sect, it's but a matter of time. Why then are they increasing the intensity of their attack in these last two days?” Mo Wen asked curiously. In the eyes of the Sacred Flame Sect, the Intentionless Sect was being defeated bit by bit and would be destroyed sooner or later. After all, the Sacred Flame Sect had a series of preparation for it including Yu Guang who had been caring for the Intentionless Sect's Sect Leader, Chen Wuhui. Hence, everything should be in the control of the Sacred Flame Sect.
The Sacred Flame Sect only needed to wait for Chen Wuhui to die before they attacked with all their might and destroyed the Intentionless Sect.
Chen Wuhui was still alive, so it didn't seem to be advantageous for the Sacred Flame Sect to accelerate the pace of the attack now. In a battle, both parties would have dead and injured, but it would certainly be more serious for the attacking party, the Sacred Flame Sect.
They had accelerated the pace of the attack which meant that the damage would increase accordingly. If they didn't defeat the Intentionless Sect in a short period of time, there would be more disadvantages than advantages so it was something that would cost them a huge loss.
”I am also very suspicious if something had happened in the outside world which causes the Sacred Flame Sect to change their mind and attempt to defeat the Intentionless Sect in a short time.” Chen Zikuang furrowed his brows as he was also just guessing. After all, the Sacred Flame Sect had sealed the inner city completely so he wouldn't know what was happening in the outside world.
The Sacred Flame Sect had suddenly changed their tactics, so obviously there was a purpose or reason for it.
”Mo Wen, I've heard what Elder Mu Liao said about you. If I have things correct, you have very strong Soul power and could release a Soul attack directly.” Chen Zikuang put his doubts out of his mind as he looked at Mo Wen. He only wanted to get through this crisis. If the Intentionless Sect couldn't get through this crisis, everything else would be useless.
Chen Zikuang had been keen to ask Elder Mu Liao about Mo Wen's powers. He naturally didn't believe that Mo Wen had the ability to kill the martial arts practitioners in the Golden Elixir realm effortlessly. If Mo Wen had that ability, why would he have asked Mu Liao to kill the two Sacred Flame Sect's elders ”on his behalf”?Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
It did not seem to Chen Zikuang that Mo Wen would have intentionally let Mu Liao kill the two Sacred Flame Sect's elders for Mu Liao's sake. If he had that ability, Mo Wen would have killed that two Sacred Flame Sect's elders straightaway.
Therefore, Chen Zikuang had thought about it carefully and could only think of the possibility that was Mo Wen had very strong Soul power and could attack others' souls directly, but his Cultivation was not high and had not reached the Golden Elixir realm, so he needed Elder Mu Liao to kill the two Sacred Flame Sect's elders for him.
It was ludicrous that Mu Liao was extremely grateful to Mo Wen and thought Mo Wen had intentionally let him have the chance to get revenge. Mu Liao didn't know that he was someone's hatchet man. In order to keep his secret of being able to attack others' souls directly, Mo Wen might have wished for the two Sacred Flame Sect's elders to die.
As the Deputy Sect Leader of Intentionless Sect, Chen Zikuang's knowledge was naturally extraordinary. Mu Liao's knowledge paled in comparison. With a few clues, Chen Zikuang would almost always guess the crux of the matter.
”Deputy Sect Leader Chen indeed has extraordinary knowledge. Mo Wen admires you.” Mo Wen laughed casually. He never intended to pretend to be a Senior expert. It was too difficult to trick a person like Chen Zikuang.
”Is your Soul attack technique effective on the martial arts practitioners in the intermediate stage of Golden Elixir realm?” A streak of radiance flashed in Chen Zikuang's eyes as he glanced at Mo Wen with much delight. After his suspicion was confirmed, he was suddenly relieved. Mo Wen's ability, if used cleverly, would be an excellent advantage and it could even change the present situation of the Intentionless Sect.
”What? Deputy Sect Leader Chen intends to collaborate with me to ensnare and kill the martial arts practitioners in the intermediate stage of Golden Elixir realm?” Mo Wen curled his lips slightly as he smiled mischievously.
”Ensnare and kill the martial arts practitioners in the intermediate stage of Golden Elixir realm? I think it may be insufficient to have only two of us.” Chen Zikuang shook his head. Even though Mo Wen's Soul attack might be able to affect the martial arts practitioners in the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm, it was a different thing to be able to kill them.
”If both of us attack as one, it could be possible. But the Sacred Flame Sect's two old fellows in the intermediate stage of Golden Elixir realm have never left each other since the beginning, so we basically don't have the chance to attack them.”
Chen Zikuang sighed deeply. The two old fellows of the Sacred Flame Sect were extremely shrewd and crafty so it was not easy to separate them. The Sacred Flame Sect elders both knew that if the Intentionless Sect was to fight with all their might and would be willing, when all seemed lost, to die together, there was a possibility that they might kill one of the elders of the Sacred Flame Sect. However, that could only happen in a situation where one person was alone. If both of them were together throughout, even if the Intentionless Sect wanted to die together, they might find it difficult to kill either of them.
Hence, even if Chen Zikuang and Mo Wen were to collaborate, they might not be able to do anything as long as the two martial arts practitioners in the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm were in the fighting ground together. Moreover, once they attacked, it would reveal Mo Wen's ability completely which would cause more losses than gains.
