Chapter 644: A risky plan (1/2)

”I agree, that is certainly concerning...” The Sect Master said as he placed on a sullen expression.

Raven just reported the recent news he received from Kyrie and told the Sect Master about it. He also discussed the implications of this on their plans, he also told him the idea he had in kind with a heavy heart.

”Although it would be preferable to not lose any disciples at all, our enemies are driving us to a corner. We can't coil under this pressure, if we give up then more lives are going to be lost. We will endure this and we will follow your idea.”

”Sacrificing the lives of some disciples certainly doesn't feel right, but in this case it had to be done. We can't let them know that we are aware of their plans. It is crucial that we closed the gap within this remaining time-frame so I'm thinking of making some revision to your plan. We can discuss it even further, however I do think that we have to at least do something to get back at them.”

”At this point, that's the only way the sacrificial pawns would be able to rest in peace so I think so as well.” Raven nodded his head. ”I won't feel comfortable knowing that they'll be coming out of this unscathed. We have to at least make them feel the sting. But we also have to be careful since they could easily trace our movements.”

”That true as well. Don't worry, leave this to me. I think I have a good plan for this.” The Sect Master said.

”Alright. Anyway, this is all that I came here for. I'll be excusing myself then.” Raven stood up and bowed to the Sect Master before leaving the Storm Dweller's Peak.

When Raven returned to his place, he plopped onto the bed and was lost in his own thoughts.

”If this can happen right now, it's possible that it will happen again in the future. We need to be more prepared and careful. The enemies are sinister and knows many things about us. We only recently got some solid intel against them, our foundations aren't solid enough yet.”

”What should I do?” Raven murmured to himself.

Currently, he's still somewhat shocked from the sudden movement of the enemy. He was caught off-guard and wasn't expecting this kind of move from them. It wasn't like he got so complacent but it was his fault that he believed his enemies won't try something funny.

It is certainly regrettable that they have to sacrifice some lives in order to make sure that their plan wouldn't be compromised. However, it is also necessary for them to do something in order to appease the souls of those who will be sacrificed.

They need to at least kill someone of their members, it'd be much better if they could use the same tactic like them. Raven thought for a bit but he didn't press on any further and left it for the Sect Master to handle. Right now, he had other things to do and pay attention to.

They have to make sure that the motivation of the disciples are at an all time high. They need them to put more efforts in cultivation now more than ever.

As Raven followed his thoughts while laying down on his bed, his thoughts went into a tangent. He had this sudden idea which doesn't sound bad but is definitely risky since if it doesn't work the way Raven's expecting it to be, then the war will actually occur sooner rather than later.

'...if I follow this idea, then it would need a ridiculous amount of resources. Ridiculous even for a whole sect's standards. That being said, if it works, then forget about 50 years, we'll only need a decade to close the gap between the forces. But again, that's if the plan works accordingly to how I imagined it to be, any unexpected developments might become detrimental to everyone.'

Raven marinated on his own thoughts for a while. He pursed his lips since the more he thought about it, the more that this plan sounds feasible.

'...it's very risky but if it works, then it will give us a tremendous advantage. Dealing with whatever comes afterwards will be easier compared to us constantly teetering at the edge of failure.'

Raven got up from his bed, sat on his bed side table and began writing some blueprints.

He drew the schematic of the entire sect and labeled some of it's parts. Everything was done in a very detailed and organized manner which represents Raven's knowledge about the sect. Even the Devil Emperor's Pagoda is drawn in a detailed manner as well.

Next, Raven drew another blueprint, this time it was a blueprint of a rune which included many functions. This rune will definitely be on a much bigger scale, bigger even with the runes that Raven displayed before. This project was big and Raven was doing his best in order to solidify the plan even further.

Without him knowing, hours passed and he felt a tap on his shoulder. Raven looked back and saw Kyrie standing next to him while also handing him a cup of refreshing tea. A smile formed on Raven's lips as he said:

”Thanks.”
