Chapter 772 - Being the Change (1/2)

In just one night, multiple sects had decided to change their way of thinking. With the Snow Mountain Sect and the Aquamoon Heavenly Palace leading the way, more than ten sects decided to work together. On the other hand, there were still a number of sects that decided to work alone, like the Soaring Cloud Sect.

The night was calm and quiet. It was the last blanket of safety that the martial artists had before the sunrise. With adequate light, the American satellites and surveillance drones would be able to detect their position and reveal them to the Mutants.

"Alright, the sun is coming up. Let's continue the hunt!" said Desir to his fellow Mutants. At this point, almost all Mutants and Desir realized that the one greatest weakness of the martial artists was their pride. The pitiful bunch of idiots would not even try to work with the military! That was the greatest ally that they could have! That was the difference between the martial artists and the Mutants, in terms of intelligence gathering.

Thousands of Mutants began to form multiple smaller groups and spread out in different directions. Their purpose was to hunt down the sects that were wandering alone. That way, they would not even need a thousand men to defeat the separated ones.

Desir's plan was to use the martial artists' pride against themselves. He wanted to weed them out one by one before they realized the importance of working together.

As for the martial artists, they did not want to work together as conflicts existed between the sects. If they were working together, their first enemy might be one another instead of the Mutants. On the other hand, working alone would only be beneficial to the enemy! Hence, the separated sects had still formed a temporary alliance with one or two sects. That way, they could at least muster some attacking force when they needed to fight. The only sects that were going alone were the Soaring Cloud Sect and the Zhangle Clan.

Soaring Cloud Sect was famous as they were the largest and strongest sect in China. To fault their superiority, they had sent over 150 members. They were so large that three different sects would need to get together to reach that number. Out of 150 members, 25 of them were elite Level 4 fighters. In terms of combat power, they were as strong as the Snow Mountain Sect and Aquamoon Heavenly Palace, and the other sects combined!

Zhangle Clan was different. They were considered a second-rated sect that did not even have a Level 5 master in their ranks. The entire sect had only over 30 to 40 members while only 4 Level 4 fighter. Even so, they had refused to work with others!

…

"Should we inform the little one first?" said Granny Jianghua when the coalition was formed.

"I was actually thinking the same thing. He had relations with the military and he might have information that we don't!" said Bai Wanli. Right now, they were at a disadvantage. Yet, they could not find themselves working with normal humans! To do so would bring shame to the Martial Artists Alliance!

A short discussion was held and they had agreed to inform Jiang Fei and only get enemy intel from him. They still would not work with the military directly.

"Brother Jiang Fei, how are you doing over there?" said Bai Wanli.

"I'm fine. I heard that you were attacked by the Mutants," said Jiang Fei.

"Ugh… Brother Jiang Fei, this one is old, there's no need to beat around the bush," said Bai Wanli with a bitter laugh. He had already informed everyone through the public channel last night. Jiang Fei would surely have heard about last night's situation.

"So it seems. What are you going to do now? Have you all agreed to my plan?" said Jiang Fei.

"Hold that thought. I'm calling to ask about the Mutant's movement," said Granny Jinghua.

"Their movement? Hold on a minute, I'll ask," said Jiang Fei before hanging up. He then immediately called Han Tianyu and requested for his help.
