Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighty Eight – Divide (2/2)

If the two sides really fought, the scale of the conflict would be so great it would most likely affect the entire world.

Tian Huan seemed unwilling to be silent. The battalions at the borders shifted as though they wanted to fan the flames. However, they never expected that Zhong De’s battalion would suddenly appear at the border of Xi Xuan and Tian Huan.

All of Tian Huan became nervous!

What did Zhong De want to do?

In terms of power, Xi Xuan could not compare to Tian Huan now. However, Zhong De was not a reasonable person. He was powerful, among the top one or two of the top ten battle generals.

The situation came to a standstill again.

———

Zuo Mo had been paying close attention to the situation. He had ordered Gongsun Cha to reinforce Lotus Sutra Temple. Lotus Sutra Temple was his ally. If it was killed by Kun Lun, it would be a detriment to him.

Zuo Mo didn’t believe that Kun Lun would truly fight after Gongsun Cha appeared.

If a war of such scale started, it would not end so easily. Even if Kun Lun could defeat them, they would suffer heavy losses that would benefit Tian Huan.

Kun Lun just wanted to cause a rift between the Nine Great Dhyana Sects and had achieved their goal. Heart Leaf Dhyana Sect and the other three sect’s silence had planted the seeds of the divide.

Fighting now was not of any benefit to Kun Lun.

It was not good for Zuo Mo to interfere too deeply into the matters of the Nine Great Dhyana Sects. However, after this matter, the relationship between Lotus Sutra Temple and Mo Cloud Sea would grow much closer.

The sect leader of Lotus Sutra Temple was a vicious person. Since they had burned their ties to Kun Lun, without another word, she sent a battalion into the region of the ruins and repeatedly made sweeps. Any person that was the least bit suspicious would be asked to leave.

While Lotus Sutra Temple’s battalion was lacking in comparison to a top battalion such as Vermillion Bird Camp, it was much stronger than an average sect’s battalion.

The enormous battalion swept through the region of the ruins like comb. If any person resisted, they would be killed.

After this, the number of people around the ruins decreased immediately.

Everyone saw Lotus Sutra Temple’s determination!

Did Lotus Sutra Temple want to take the ruins for themselves? This kind of rumor spread through the Nine Great Dhyana Sects but Lotus Sutra Temple still did as they wished. Thunder Sound Temple and other allies strangely did not have any opinions.

Heart Leave Dhyana Sect and the others were talkative but Lotus Sutra Temple was determined and didn’t even listen.

After this matter, the sect leader of Lotus Sutra Temple finally saw that the Nine Great Dhyana Sects would not be a successful. Yang Yuan Hao was strong in battle but he did not have the ability to sort out the Nine Great Dhyana Sect. Without a strong person coming up, the Nine Great Dhyana Sects that was made from many factions would fall to infighting.

A divided Nine Great Dhyana Sect would die quickly.

Since that was the case, why didn’t they prepare?

Lotus Sutra Temple’s only choice was Mo Cloud Sea.

This time, they had completely burned ties to Kun Lun and Tian Huan. Xi Xuan was in its old age, and only Mo Cloud Sea was filled with life and signs that it was growing stronger.

She had a good outlook for Mo Cloud Sea’s prospects.

Everyone had already agreed to using the shen device nucleus in exchange for shen equipment. What she was doing now was within the limits of the agreement. She was just acting a bit more vicious.

Also, the safety of Lotus Sutra Temple was reliant on Gongsun Cha’s Vermillion Bird Camp.,

“There are no more factions in this area,” Lotus Sutra Temple’s sect leader introduced. “We have eliminated some suspicious people. Please accept these tokens.”

“This is?” Zuo Mo was slightly shocked.

“The tokens of Thunder Sound Temple, my sect, Laughing Maitreya Temple, and Splendid Buddha Temple are all here. Four in total. We had originally planned to send experts to help you but we are worried that spies will ruin the matter. So we are giving this to you. You can take in more subordinates. We have not managed to get back Surangama Sect’s token. It must already be in Kun Lun’s hands. The other four sects … …”

She sighed softly, her expression dispirited.

The Nine Great Dhyana Sects were of different minds and values. They had already divided into two factions. Yang Yuan Hao’s transaction with Mo Cloud Sea had been objected to by Heart Leaf Dhyana Sect, Karma Sect, Skanda Sect, and Great Buddha Sect. The two sides had fought fiercely numerous times over this.

Zuo Mo understood when he heard this. He bowed seriously. “Many thanks for your trust! The shen equipment will be delivered as soon as possible!”

The sect leader quickly sorted out her emotions. She knew that the situation could not be fought against. The alliance of the Nine Great Dhyana Sects had fatal weaknesses from the start. She had just always anticipated a charismatic leader would appear. However, while Yang Yuan Hao was a top battle general, he did not have the traits to be a leader.

Yet she found those traits in Zuo Mo.

To be able to command a sect as a female, she naturally had her attributes. Seeing the situation clearly, she did not hesitate. She could not save the Nine Great Dhyana Sects but she had to consider the lives of those in the Lotus Sutra Temple.

“Sir, please be careful and take along more people,” she cautioned.

“I understand.” Zuo Mo nodded gravely.

Translator Rambling: Once you get to a certain level, individuals start to become powerless. The momentum of the factions behind them is so great it’s hard to shift course.
