Chapter 2999 - The Martial Soul Lineage Gathers (1/2)
“Ancestor Lan, are you saying that these people who claim to support the Ice Goddess Hall and are willing to go through fire and water for the Ice Goddess Hall have organisations belonging to the Flame Reverend lurking among them?” Jian Chen asked.
“That’s only my guess. I don’t have any actual, concrete evidence to prove this. However, if I were the Flame Reverend, then I’d definitely carry out some meticulous arrangements and preparations. After all, what he’s plotting for is very great. Just the slightest carelessness can doom him for good,” said ancestor Lan.
“In other words, not only am I unable to ask for help from these people regarding the Snow sect, but I can’t even divulge this information.” Jian Chen was stern. Without seeking help from the other forces on the Ice Pole Plane, how was the Heavenly Crane clan supposed to contend against the Snow sect alone?
Since the Snow sect had captured Shui Yunlan, they would never release her so easily. As a result, the only way for him to save Shui Yunlan was through the most intense clash with the Snow sect.
He could even imagine already that the Snow sect would mobilise the force of their entire sect in this clash.
The Snow sect no longer had a way out of this anymore. From the moment they decided to capture Shui Yunlan, they had started opposing the Ice Goddess Hall. As a result, only a single path lay before the Snow sect, one without any chance of return.
Otherwise, once the Ice Goddess and the Snow Goddess returned, it was as clear as day what the Snow sect’s fate would be given their personalities.
“I don’t know whether the Snow sect did this out of their own interests or if they’ve already taken the Flame Reverend’s side. If they did it out of their own interests, then that’s easier to deal with. They won’t divulge this news, and we will be the only people that know this secret apart from the Snow sect. Our opponent will only be the Snow sect too.”
“If the Snow sect has taken the Flame Reverend’s side, then the Snow sect is not all that we are up against. We’re also up against all the organisations that the Flame Reverend has developed on the Ice Pole Plane,” said ancestor Lan.
“Looks like saving Shui Yunlan from the Snow sect is far more difficult than I’ve ever imagined it to be.” Jian Chen sighed. Ancestor Lan’s analysis had basically ended his thoughts of rallying together with the organisations of the Ice Pole Plane.
Once he gathered these organisations together, it would be impossible to tell who was friend or foe. These circumstances would be perfect for a stab in the back.
If they were powerful enough to crush everything in their path, then there was obviously no need for them to fear any schemes or plots, but they were clearly on the weaker side, so they had to be as careful as possible.
“Don’t you have connections with the Empyrean Demon Cult? If you can rope in the Empyrean Demon Lord, then it’ll obviously be for the best.”
“Though, there is something I must make clear first. If you can’t find any other powerful assistance, just our Heavenly Crane clan stands no chance against the Snow sect. If there’s no hope at all, then our Heavenly Crane clan won’t take part either,” said ancestor Lan.
“The Empyrean Demon Lord…” Jian Chen faltered. Back then in the Empyrean Demon Prison, he had heard Cheng Ming mention that the Empyrean Demon Lord was currently handling something extremely important and could not divert his attention. Looking for him at a time like this clearly would not result in anything.
However, he also understood that he had to find a supreme expert that could contend against the Icecloud Founding Ancestor of the Snow sect.
Jian Chen left the Heavenly Crane clan and hurried along using the Laws of Space, returning to the territory of the Hefeng clan with a few flashes.
He had returned the tablet that the grand elder had given him already, but that could not stop his advance through the Empyrean Demon Cult.
Very soon, Jian Chen met with the grand elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult again on the top floor of the demonic castle.
The grand elder was amicable. He gazed at Jian Chen with a smile. “Jian Chen, have you come this time because of the Snow sect?”
