Chapter Eight Hundred and Eleven – Tian Huan’s Attack From All Fronts (2/2)

Compared to the declining Xi Xuan, the lively Mo Cloud Sea was the eyesore in Kun Lun’s eyes. Mo Cloud Sea was unstoppable in the mo territories, and showed great offensive power which caused all of Kun Lun to be uneasy.

If Tian Huan’s strategy was completed, then a situation where three strong forces attacking Mo Cloud Sea would form.

Mo Cloud Sea would not be able to escape even if it had wings.

No one had thought that the seemingly powerful Mo Cloud Sea had such a fatal weakness. Tian Huan’s successive attacks exposed Mo Cloud Sea’s weakness to the world.

Mo Cloud Sea was too small!

From the viewpoint of safety, this was more beneficial for defense. However, for a faction with forging at its core, this was undoubtedly fatal. Once the supply of materials was cut off, they would end up in a dangerous position.

Battalions, battle generals, they were all useless at this point.

This was another battlefield.

Chao Xin’s mind shifted and another plan formed. “We can have the people from the Nine Great Dhyana Sects make a fuss, and urge the other five sects. Tian Huan would also do the same, they also have people inside.”

“This idea is good.” Lin Qian’s eyes lit up. “Those people people will be forced to stay neutral at such a time to not offend either side.”

“Neutrality is enough.” A cold light flashed through Chao Xin’s eyes. “Neutrality at this time is making things worse for Mo Cloud Sea!”

“Mo Cloud Sea will not be able to escape this time!” Lin Qian said, and his expression became excited.

Mo Cloud Sea was his great worry!

“Tian Huan’s envoy went to see the sect leader,” the subordinate reported in a low voice.

Zhong De’s scar-covered face was like granite. “What did they say?”

The first person that Tian Huan’s envoy came to see was Zhong De. However, Zhong De had refused the meeting. Zhong De was an experienced person. This person came to Xi Xuan yet the first he met with was not the sect leader but Zhong De. Their intentions were malicious, wanting to spark internal discord.

If the sect leader didn’t know that he only had three years left to live, it would be hard for him not to become suspicious at this time.

“They said that Mo Cloud Sea will not be able to finish the remaining shen equipment and they are willing to provide shen equipment.” The subordinate reported in detail, “They said that these shen equipment have been specially designed by them for Xi Xuan. Also, they are willing to sign an alliance agreement with us to not fight. Also, if Kun Lun invades Xi Xuan, Tian Huan will definitely announce war against Kun Lun. This agreement is for ten years.”

Zhong De had people around the sect leader and naturally learned all this.

“And then?” Zhong De is expressionless.

“The sect leader did not respond and said to meet again in a few days,” the subordinate said.

“Sect Leader has been persuaded,” Zhong De said coolly.

As expected by Zhong De, on that night, the sect leader came to Zhong De’s camp.

“What does Uncle Zhong think about Xi Xuan allying with Tian Huan?” the sect leader did not waste words and headed straight into the topic.

The matter of buying shen equipment was a minor matter.

“What does Sect Leader think?” Zhong De asked expressionlessly in response.

The sect leader said, “I feel that this may work. We allied with Mo Cloud Sea to guard against Kun Lun and Tian Huan. If we ally with Tian Huan, it is undoubtedly more beneficial and we can gain ten years of peace.”

Zhong De listened expressionlessly, but he was slightly surprised inside. He had originally thought the other would be bewitched by the envoy and hadn’t thought that the sect leader also foresaw that the alliance would only survive for ten years.

“If we have ten years, our Xi Xuan will be able to recover. This way, we may be able to vie for the world!” A hint of excitement flashed through the sect leader’s eyes.

Ten years!

If he had ten years, the sect leader was confident that Xi Xuan could rise again based on their foundations. At that time, without Zhong De, he would be in power alone … …

A hint of disdain flashed through Zhong De’s eyes. However, the excited sect leader did not notice it.

“I do not agree,” Zhong De said slowly.

It was as though a bucket of cold water had been poured on the sect leader’s head. He was stunned where he stood, looking dazedly at Zhong De. A moment later, he asked in disbelief, “Why does Uncle Zhong not agree?”

He didn’t understand why Uncle Zhong would not agree. He said urgently, “Uncle Zhong, are you afraid that they will break the alliance? They said that they are willing to make a sect leader oath.”

The oath of a sect leader was something that could not be broken for any sect. Because once the sect leader oath was broken, all of the sect would be affected. The xiuzhe of the entire sect would be weakened in power.

In history, there had never been an example of a sect leader oath being broken.

“I do not agree.” Zhong De said expressionlessly and then turned to leave.

The sect leader of Xi Xuan was dumbstruck where he stood.

———

“Daren, why do you not agree?” Zhong De’s subordinate asked in puzzlement. He had helped Zhong De guard the Abyss Fiend Prison for many years, and was highly trusted by Zhong De.

He felt it was strange. From every angle, allying with Tian Huan was beneficial for Xi Xuan.

Zhong De seemed to not hear it. Like stone, he gazed at the distant darkness.

Translator Ramblings: The resilience of Mo Cloud Sea is that even if Zuo Mo isn’t present, things still work because he has capable people working under him.
