2944 The war is about to begin (1)
Whether it was the treasure house or mu Jiuling, they had an unresolvable grudge with the qianzhang peak.
The former and the qianzhang peak were rivals, the kind that would fight to the death, and the hatred had accumulated for many years.
Two tigers couldn’t live on the same mountain. The battle between the two sides had never subsided, but there were wins and losses on both sides.
They both wanted to completely eradicate each other, but they were unable to do so and could only maintain the current state.
The two large organizations were actually waiting for an opportunity to completely annihilate the other!
Looking at the current situation, the treasure house’s luck was pretty good, and they had gotten this opportunity first.
As for mu Jiuling, he couldn’t wait for qianzhang peak to be in trouble and be completely destroyed.
Not to mention the humiliation he had suffered at the hands of qianzhang peak, the failure of this operation in the ruins secret realm would definitely make them vent their anger on him.
If it wasn’t to track mu Jiuling, Tang Zhen wouldn’t have entered the ruins secret realm. Perhaps they would be the final owners of the treasure.
This was a very shameless way of thinking, but to some shameless cultivators, they were overestimating their own abilities.
On the thousand-foot peak, there seemed to be many cultivators who had such thoughts.
If Tang Zhen had not participated, things might not have turned out this way. At the very least, the thousand feet peak would not have no way out.
The appearance of the reward order had completely intensified the conflict between the two sides. At the same time, it also highlighted mu Jiuling’s existence, causing the hatred between them to deepen.
The cultivators who had ambushed at the entrance of the treasure vault were most likely the suicide soldiers sent by qianzhang peak, who had been controlled and tempered by a secret technique.
Once the cultivators brought mu Jiuling to the headquarters, or if there were any suspicious targets, they would be ambushed and killed by the death warrior.
The purpose of this was to prevent mu Jiuling from allying with the treasure house and doing something unfavorable to the qianzhang peak.
Whether it was the kidnapping and coercion at qianzhang peak or the killing of the accomplice who told the secret, mu Jiuling would never let it go easily.
The other hidden purpose was to make things difficult for Tang Zhen so that he would not be able to get what he wanted from mu Jiuling.
The actions of the thousand feet peak could be viewed as a provocation. It also represented that they did not fear Tang Zhen.
Or rather, it could be said that he had sufficient confidence to not fear Tang Zhen’s threat. Hence, he dared to do such a thing.
Of course, qianzhang peak was not stupid. They would definitely not leave any traces behind and let the assassination be related to them.
Regardless of whether the assassination succeeded or failed, the cultivator would die without a doubt and would not leave any clues.
There was no reason to attack the treasure house without any evidence, or else it would be too much.
Once a dispute occurred, qianzhang would try to argue for himself and gain the advantage of public opinion.
It was precisely because of these reasons that the treasure vault and mu Jiuling, this pair of partners, had a common enemy from the beginning.
The two sides had reached a tacit understanding, and the next thing was much easier to do.
The great elder stopped thinking and said in a light tone, ” such a large-scale operation must be kept strictly confidential. No news can be leaked.
Otherwise, once the enemy knew about it, they would make a response plan in advance, which could eventually lead to the complete failure of the operation plan.
“If you do well, you’ll lose step by step. The losses you’ll have to pay for losing are simply uncountable!”
The first elder said to mu Jiuling with a serious expression. What he said was true.
War was not child’s play, and one could not be careless.
“It’s impossible to hide the fact that you’ve appeared here. The thousand-foot peak should have received the news by now.
The fellow who betrayed you will reveal everything about you. Qianzhang peak should know you very well.
They’ll definitely be able to deduce that you’ll cooperate with the treasure house and then take revenge on your former enemy sect.
The qianzhang peak is your enemy, and also the competitor of the treasure house. The hatred between the two sides can not be resolved.
They definitely won’t miss this opportunity. They’ll definitely pass on the news to your enemies and cause more trouble for you and me.
If possible, qianzhang peak would also secretly send cultivators to participate in the war, directly or indirectly.
It was even possible that the thousand feet Summit would choose to take the treasure vault by surprise and attack it.
As soon as the war begins, it’ll be impossible to avoid the three thousand meter peak, and it’s destined that a war will break out!”
The first elder glanced at Tang Zhen beside him when he spoke up to this point. He discovered that Tang Zhen did not have any reaction from the beginning until the end.
It was as if what the two of them were discussing was just a simple game that was not worth mentioning.
“In the eyes of cultivators of this level, the battle between the treasure house and the thousand-foot peak is probably just child’s play?”
The great elder couldn’t help but laugh at himself when he thought of this. However, he dispelled this thought in the blink of an eye.
There was a rule in the cultivation world, and that was that when one’s strength was low, it was best not to know about the information of the higher realms.
That was not a good thing. It would only cause despair and confusion after comparison, and it might even affect his future cultivation path.
There was no fixed number of cultivators, and there was no fixed routine. Forcibly following certain rules would only put invisible shackles on one’s body.
The more he knew, the greater the pressure he would have to bear. If he was not careful, his heart’s devil would enter his body.
Mu Jiuling’s face was full of excitement. He had only wanted to take revenge for his sect, but he didn’t expect the first elder to even make the qianzhang peak a target.
Mu Jiuling was more than happy to hear such a decision.
He wanted to say a few words, but he realized that he didn’t know what to say. In the end, he decided to shut his mouth and be an honest audience.
This was an earth-shattering battle that involved countless links, and he was just an insignificant small character.
The only value of its existence was to act as a catalyst for war. Other than that, it had no other use.
The first elder really didn’t care about mu Jiuling. What he said just now was actually just for Tang Zhen to hear.
After all, Tang Zhen was also involved in this matter. He had to let him know the relevant information.
“Your Excellency, what do you think?”
The first elder finally opened his mouth and asked for Tang Zhen’s opinion. This was his final goal.
“Sure.”
Tang Zhen was naturally able to tell that the first elder wanted him to lead and follow them. After which, he would take the opportunity to eradicate the thousand feet peak.
Taking revenge for mu Jiuling’s sect was just a side effect.
The old fellow was as slippery as a ghost. However, he was completely seen through in front of Tang Zhen.
However, Tang Zhen did not mind.
Now, he wanted to let nature take its course and would not deliberately affect or interfere with a certain matter.
If he did that, it would lead to a series of changes and even lose the opportunity that originally belonged to him.
For example, Tang Zhen didn’t do anything on purpose in this trip to the extreme spirit realm. Everything was natural.
In the end, along the way, he actually obtained many opportunities and his gains far exceeded Tang Zhen’s expectations.
Regardless of whether this was a coincidence or other reasons, Tang Zhen would accept it.
Even if the first elder wanted to take advantage of the situation, Tang Zhen would not mind and would still choose to go with the flow.
Since they wanted him to take charge, he would go with them.
I have no objections. You can make the arrangements.
The head elder felt as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he respectfully bowed and thanked Tang Zhen.
“Thank you, sir.”
He was definitely not someone who thought he was smart. He knew that his actions would definitely not be able to hide from Tang Zhen.
However, for the sake of the treasure trove’s rise, he could only brace himself and deliberately put on an act in front of Tang Zhen.
Even though he clearly knew that Tang Zhen could see through his thoughts, he still had to continue this act.
Obtaining Tang Zhen’s permission meant that this performance had already been a success. The great show that had been waiting for many years was also slowly opening its curtains at this moment.
Looking at the cultivators from the treasure vault who were guarding the surroundings and ready to receive orders at any time, the first elder waved his hand vigorously.
“Pass on my order. All cultivators in the Treasury are to return to the headquarters immediately and await orders.
At the same time, regardless of the cost, gather all the cultivators that can be mobilized and try to get to the headquarters of the treasure house in the shortest time possible.
From this moment on, the Treasury will enter a state of war. All cultivators are ready to go to war!”
“Roar!”
With the Grand elder’s order, the cultivators in the treasure vault growled, their eyes full of fighting spirit!
