”Hmph!”
Sage Baize's reaction to such a change was a mere snicker.
After all, he was once a sage and was powerful once. Against such weak beings, he could probably kill all of them effortlessly.
Composed, he was confident of dealing with the situation.
”Kill!”
”Spiritual sword, go!”
Behind him, two True Divines leapt out together with another True Elemental. Executing his techniques, a long sword essence emerged, striking fear in many.
Looking at the strength of Baize Mountain, even though many dream masters were killed, Sage Baize could still gather 4 powerful beings together!
With a whistle, the 4 of them formed a huge array, surrounding the 3 black dragons within it. Relentlessly, they dished out their attacks.
”I sincerely thank the three of you for helping out!” Sage Baize secretly spoke in their minds. ”When we return, I shall appoint the three of you as the Vice Sect Head. The few of you shall chair the elders and decide on important affairs!”
”It's nothing! We are always willing to serve you, Sage!”
Although these 3 people were once Sage Baize's disciples, even though they were receiving benefits now, all of them were still humble, but there was still competition among them. The good thing was that the situation in Baize Mountain had not escalated to the point where the sect would be on the brink of disbanding like the Divine Lotus Cult or the Source Seeking Sect and order was still maintained in the sect.
”Rumble!”
The array vibrated as it stood strong for about an hour.
Finally, after a huge explosion, the black dragons roared as they killed their way out of the array. They came together to form a single entity. One of the black dragon's head suddenly disappeared, leaving a big bloody wound on its neck.
”Roar! Roar!”
With a single roar, the Demon Spirits in the vicinity started to retreat. The 2-headed dragon transformed into a streak of light before disappearing beyond the horizon.
”Who would've thought that it would have such a sacrificial move to allow one of its magical clone to explode so as to allow the other two to escape from the array!”
The 4 powerful being revealed themselves as a True Divine sighed in disappointment.
”This dragon is not simple. It not only has wisdom but is also proficient in this secret technique...”
Sage Bazie stroked his beard. ”To split itself into 3 without losing any power in each magical clone is the perfect '3 Clones in a Single Breath' technique in the legends. I suspect that its lost head will be able to regrow in no time.”
Up to this point, Sage Baize unknowingly glanced towards the True Elemental who was wielding a sword.
If not for the fact that this True Elemental was selfish and was not willing to give it his all, they might be able to take down another dragon's head.
Unfortunately, Sage Baize was no longer in control of the situation. He had to compromise with the rest. Otherwise, Baize Mountain would not be able to hold up.
”None of us could've done anything to help the situation!”
The True Elemental who was wielding a sword was an old man in green robes. As he spoke, his eyes glistened. ”These Demon Spirits evolve too quickly and it is getting hard to defend against them. Furthermore, they now have wisdom and might even combine forces! Sect Head, quickly make a decision!”
”To relocate?”
Sage Baize's face twitched.
Relocation was not as simple as activating the array and walking away. They would have to form a huge party to traverse through the disaster-plagued Da Qian.
To most people, the act of relocation was a disaster in itself!
However, it seemed as though Sage Baize was almost about to bear the consequences of being the one making the decision.
”Cough cough... this is the last resort. As long as we have resupplies in the form of either manpower or resources, we can continue to maintain this stalemate... After all, even though we dream masters are no longer powerful, we can still injure these Demon Spirits with our limited usage of dream elemental force!”
A True Divine displayed a different stance.
”That's right!”
Another True Divine quickly concurred. ”The allied forces of the 3 Grand Organisations should help each other out!”
The Divine Lotus Cult was long swept by Fang Yuan and the Source Seeking Sect was split and therefore, these two organisations were no longer taken into consideration.
In a short period of time, these two long-standing organisations led by sages fell just like this, and this was a huge blow to many dream masters in Da Qian.
”Hmph! We cannot trust Evil Divine! He had used the heavenly evil force to control his elders previously, turning them into puppets. His disciples do not dare to talk about this issue. Now that chaos is everywhere, their sect is also troubled. Coupled with the invasive Demon Spirits, they are already troubled enough. Do you think they will come to our assistance?”
Sage Baize's expression changed. He had never thought about this before. ”To make things worse... The good should not work with the evil. We have caused trouble for them before and therefore, we will never know if they truly want to help us or not.”
”Since we cannot rely on the Evil Divine Sect, on the other hand, the Realm Alliance has always been neutral and our relationships are alright...”
An elder gazed towards the retreating demon army as the stone figurines returned to their places. The dazzling gems on them slowly dimmed. ”Considering our prowess, we cannot hold on for long. Notwithstanding other issues, the pressing issue of the lack of spiritual rice and other basic necessities is enough to push us to desperation.”
At that moment, all the dream masters remained silent.
Their resources had all been destroyed during the war. These dream masters were the most luxurious bunch and only knew how to obtain more resources from the realm in the past. How would they consider these problems before?
Now that they were all weakened and defeated after the war, they finally knew the hardships of being an average human living in Da Qian.
”Realm Alliance? Hmph!”
This time, it was the True Elemental wielding the sword who raised an objection. They are but a group of dispersed individuals. With the war, I'm sure more than half of them would have fled, especially so for The Ancient One. Being ever-so scheming, he might have already cultivated himself into a True Divine or True Elemental on his own. According to our insider information, he has locked himself up in isolation since returning from the war. What do you think he might be planning? If you ask me, I would choose to believe that this person might be even more dangerous than Evil Divine!”
In the war at the Jade Capital, the allied forces were defeated without a doubt. The sage of the Realm Alliance was already a True Elemental before the war and therefore, his losses were the least among the 5 sages.
