Chapter 273_3
The current Sect Leader of Ultimate Sword Sect, looking down at the crowd below, finally resisted finishing his sentence. It was only after he had succeeded the position as the current Sect Leader that he understood why his Senior Brother, the former Sect Leader, had always wanted them to wage war against Eastern Wasteland from the Eastern Border.
However, his Senior Brother's plan had been disrupted by Cao Zhen.
When the time came, there naturally would be someone to deal with Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen stayed at Qingfeng Sect. Of course, the people of Qingfeng Sect weren't imprisoning him, but genuinely invited him to be a guest at Qingfeng Sect, where he then spent two and a half months.
Two months later, including the Ultimate Sword Sect, the leaders of the other nine Immortal Sects from the Eastern Border all arrived. They represented the Eastern Border, while Cao Zhen represented the Eastern Wasteland, and both sides quickly signed a non-aggression pact.
Although the pact had been signed, Cao Zhen was still unable to return to the Eastern Wasteland immediately.
During this time, he clearly noticed that the Eastern Border was getting closer and closer to the Eastern Wasteland, but he still couldn't pass through the white fog.
He feared he would have to wait until the Eastern Border and the Eastern Wasteland were completely connected before he could return to the Eastern Wasteland.
"Right, I wonder how my disciples are doing."
Cao Zhen quickly contacted his Senior Disciple Ling Xi through China Cloud. Although he could connect with all his disciples in the Eastern Wasteland, his first choice was still to connect with Ling Xi—not because of the Senior... Sister's sake, but because Ling Xi was more stable and reliable.
Soon, his field of vision was filled with a small stream, crystal clear, where he could see to the bottom... A few leaves drifting by.
Ling Xi stood by the stream, her eyes vacant, lost in thought.
"This scene is wrong! Ling Xi shouldn't be... huh, she should be at Hundred Peaks Sect?"
Cao Zhen looked around, and this definitely didn't appear to be inside Hundred Peaks Sect. He asked, driven by curiosity, "Ling Xi, where have you gone? What's the situation in the Eastern Wasteland now?"
Of all Cao Zhen's disciples, Ling Xi was the most accustomed to the sudden emergence of her master's voice in her mind. Hearing Cao Zhen's voice, her face showed no surprise. She quickly replied, "Master, your disciple is now in the Great Lai Dynasty."
"The Great Lai Dynasty?"
Cao Zhen was momentarily stunned, full of incomprehension, as he asked, "What are you doing in the Great Lai Dynasty? What happened? Did the East Breeze people attack again?"
Ling Xi shook her head gently, "Master, the East Breeze people have not launched another attack on our Eastern Wasteland."
Cao Zhen became even more curious, "Then why are you going to the Great Lai Dynasty? There's only Celestial Plum Sect that Qiao Jingyao recently established."
"It's not that I wanted to come; now, all the major Immortal Sects in the Eastern Wasteland have started to move, heading towards the Great Lai Dynasty."
"What's the matter? Did relics appear in the Great Lai Dynasty?" Cao Zhen immediately made a judgment; apart from the Great Lai Dynasty revealing Peerless Relics, he couldn't think of any other reason for all the major Immortal Sects to go there.
"Master, no Peerless Relics have appeared in the Great Lai Dynasty." Ling Xi thought for a moment and explained, "It's Junior Sister who sent us the Sect's chart, saying you've already signed a non-aggression pact with the people of the Eastern Border."
"That's right, and then?"
"Then, we informed all the major Immortal Sects of this news, and they responded, saying they wanted to attack East Breeze. Moreover, it's an unstoppable kind of intention; all the Immortal Sects declared that since East Breeze dared to attack our Eastern Wasteland, if we don't respond, East Breeze will think the Eastern Wasteland is easy to bully.
In fact, the major Immortal Sects have been stifled these years and are looking for an outlet. East Breeze happened to provide an opportunity, and besides, it is rumored that there are abundant Spiritual Medicines in East Breeze, and our supply in the Eastern Wasteland is actually not plentiful. So, the major Immortal Sects also want to go to East Breeze and seize some Spiritual Medicines.
Now, without the pressure from the Eastern Border, all the major Immortal Sects have naturally started sending people to the Great Lai Dynasty, just waiting for the Eastern Wasteland and East Breeze to fully connect, before they will strike into East Breeze."
"This..." Cao Zhen, for the moment, was at a loss for words on how to dissuade them. After all, East Breeze had genuinely attacked the Eastern Wasteland, so it was normal for the Eastern Wasteland to retaliate.
Moreover, if the Eastern Wasteland didn't retaliate, East Breeze would certainly think the Eastern Wasteland was weak, and they would send more people over. In such a case, it was indeed better for them to go on the offensive into East Breeze.
Such matters, with all the major Immortal Sects wanting to attack East Breeze, were beyond even his control.
He rubbed his head lightly and asked, "So, if all the major Immortal Sects have gone, what about our Hundred Peaks Sect?"
"Our Hundred Peaks Sect has Elder Brother Nie Jie and Elder Brother Lie Yan overseeing it, and nearly all the other experts have also gone to the Eastern Wasteland. Of course, we kept all the disciples below the Fifth Level of the Golden Core.
Master, actually, this time, the gathering at Great Lai Dynasty is also a very good opportunity for sparring.
Even better than the All-Heaven Martial Contest.
After all, in the All-Heaven Martial Contest, there's continuous elimination; if you lose, you're out, with no more chance to spar with others. And at that time, the sparring was only among the people of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
This time, it's all the major Immortal Sects from our entire Eastern Wasteland that will converge, which allows for sparring with people from all the great Dynasties. It's also an opportunity for the disciples to train.
In short, right now, at the Great Lai Dynasty, there are already countless people from various Immortal Sects gathered, all sparring while waiting, just waiting for the Eastern Wasteland and East Breeze to completely connect, and then we'll all strike into East Breeze."
