Chapter 249 The Immortal Sect's Plans
Zhongzhou Immortal Sect.
"Useless, all of you are useless. I sent people to investigate the origin of those cannons, and you haven't found anything after all this time. What use are you?"
The sect leader of the Immortal Sect roared angrily at the people kneeling below.
In his view, as long as they find the source of the Eastern Qin cannons and obtain their method of manufacturing them, they can launch a counterattack against Eastern Qin and destroy the loose cultivator alliance.
Why feel so stifled now?
However, despite sending countless people to investigate, no results were found.
Even the people they sent out lost contact shortly after entering Dongqin.
He truly couldn't understand why such a small, secular country could be so powerful.
He even suspected that it might be a trap set up by the Qin clan in advance, but when he sent people to investigate, they found no clues.
This is causing them a great deal of trouble now.
"Sect Master, it's not that we don't want to investigate, but we simply don't know where to begin."
“We tried to trace the route of the Eastern Qin's arms transport, but we couldn’t find it. Or rather, we couldn’t get close to it. So far, we only know a general area.”
"The deeper we go into Eastern Qin, the greater our casualties become. The dark web of Eastern Qin is so powerful that it is terrifying."
The person below said dejectedly.
He wanted to search, but how could he? None of the men he sent out had returned alive.
What could he do? How can you blame him?
Everyone present fell silent after hearing this.
Even the enraged sect leader of the Immortal Sect fell silent; the dark web of Eastern Qin was indeed terrifying.
No one can deny this, but they all want to know how Dong Qin cultivated such a powerful dark web.
This is not something that can be done in a short time.
They were all speculating whether Dong Qin's dark web had spread throughout the entire Central Continent.
"Sect Master Qi, now is not the time to lose your temper. The losses in the last ten days or so have been too great. If we continue like this, no matter how many people we have, they won't be enough to defeat Dong Qin. We must think of a way."
He said with a serious expression, looking concerned.
The situation is already very dire for them. If they don't find a solution, their defeat in the second phase is only a matter of time.
"I know that we should send out 90% of the Grandmasters to infiltrate Dongqin and the Loose Cultivator Alliance to assassinate them and disrupt their rear. If their rear is in chaos, I don't believe they will still be so unscrupulous."
Sect Leader Qi said ruthlessly.
Previously, the battles of Grandmasters were all fought on the front lines.
Now that he no longer wants to follow the default rules, he'll just throw the entire continent into chaos again.
The more chaotic things are, the better, as it will benefit their immortal sect.
He didn't care at all whether the battle between grandmasters would affect ordinary people.
In any case, it doesn't matter to him how many civilians die, especially the civilians on the opposing side.
His words, however, plunged everyone into deep thought.
This would indeed alleviate the pressure on the front lines, but once they did it, the consequences would be beyond their control.
This could very well directly provoke both sides.
However, they have no other choice now.
If this is not done, a collapse at the front is only a matter of time, and the troops at the front are already filled with resentment.
There is a possibility of rebellion at any time, especially on the front line against Dong Qin.
A mutiny is probably only a matter of time.
After all, in just a few months, tens of millions of them have already died in battle.
However, Sect Leader Qi's suggestion was too much, and they were worried that it would cause even more serious consequences.
"Sect Leader Qi, this approach may be effective in the short term, but in the long run, it could easily lead to even bigger trouble. Have you considered the consequences?"
The elders inquired about the matter.
"Consequences? If we don't do this, we won't be able to hold out on the front lines for long. It's already very difficult for us to recruit soldiers. Those lowly people have started to hide. It will be much more troublesome for us to forcibly take people to the front lines."
"If we don't do this, Elder Gu, how long do you think we can hold out?"
"As for doing this, at least we will be under much less pressure in the short term. If we can drag it out until the third stage of the Immortal War, we will not have to worry about anything. With the strength of our Immortal Sect's experts, the Immortal War will be the time to determine the winner."
"That's what Sect Master Qi said."
He was well aware of the consequences.
But so what? Are there any other options now?
Everyone was silent again.
Sect Leader Qi is right; this is the best solution now.
"Okay, let's do it that way. But tell your men to be careful not to make a move in crowded places. Otherwise, if you push them too far, they'll just become even more aggressive."
"Especially that Divine Martial King, the reason why Eastern Qin directly started the war was because they provoked this madman."
Elder Gu nodded in agreement.
However, I still reminded him to avoid provoking Qin Wu later.
During this time, they came to understand Qin Wu. He was a complete madman, and a madman who did things without considering the consequences.
If they really anger him, they'll be in even bigger trouble.
The key issue is that this madman has boundless power; once angered, he truly doesn't care about the consequences.
Upon hearing Elder Gu Lu's reminder, everyone remembered that there was such a madman in Dong Qin.
They hadn't thought of it before because the current situation was giving them a headache, and they hadn't considered Qin Wu's involvement.
Now, when Elder Gu mentions Qin Wu, they all think of that madman.
To be honest, everyone present had lived for at least several hundred years, and they had never seen such a madman in all their lives.
"Alright, I understand. I really can't understand how the Eastern Qin royal family could produce such a madman. He is a prince after all. What kind of environment could produce such a thing?"
Sect Leader Qi said dejectedly.
To be honest, in his impression, these royal children were all used to being pampered and were good at scheming and plotting, but they were all gentle and refined in front of outsiders.
Even if there are a few outliers, they're just a bit spoiled.
But the royal family has a madman, and they just can't understand it.
How did the royal family of Dongqin manage to cultivate a prodigy with ruthless cruelty into a madman?
It's no wonder that Sect Master Qi couldn't understand it, and neither could anyone else.
They teach their offspring how to scheme and hide.
But Qin Wu, a madman, is someone I really can't understand how he was trained.
"That's good. As long as the battle between martial artists doesn't cause too many consequences, even a madman like the Divine Martial King has no reason to go crazy."
"By the way, have we not found the Imperial Sword Sect and Sangeng yet?"
Elder Gu was relieved after hearing Sect Leader Qi's assurance.
They also inquired about the Huangji Sword Sect and Sangeng, as these two martial arts forces were truly giving them a headache.
Especially at midnight, there was a group of people who were truly fearless. They were very curious about who had trained these fearless creatures.
"The Imperial Sword Sect has been much quieter lately, rarely making any moves. Although we haven't found their sect's location, as long as they continue like this, there's nothing to worry about."
"However, those three are really a headache. They didn't self-destruct from the beginning, but they are still frantically assassinating our people. Our sect has been investigating, but we just can't find their origins."
Sect Leader Qi was also frustrated.
He had been in charge of Zhongzhou for a thousand years and had never heard of such a force on the Zhongzhou continent.
This force appeared as if it had suddenly appeared.
They are usually impossible to find, but every time you see them, it's a fight to the death, and they will self-destruct before they die.
They couldn't find any clues, and anyone would feel frustrated and withdrawn in that situation.
"Still can't find it? That's really troublesome, especially those three guys, they're a bunch of lunatics."
Concerned that the elder had a headache, he unconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
"Do you think this guy Sangeng might be one of the Divine Martial King's men?"
At this moment, someone suddenly asked a question.
His question caused the entire room to fall silent.
Actually, his question wasn't entirely unfounded. As far as they knew, the only person in the Central Continent capable of doing something like this was probably the Divine Martial King of Dong Qin.
However, they did investigate, but found no clues linking the two parties.
Even if they were convinced that Sangeng was Qin Wu's man, they had no way to settle accounts with Qin Wu.
Without evidence, directly provoking a madman will only enrage him and make him even madder.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense without evidence. Let's call it a day!"
Elder Gu interrupted everyone's thoughts by speaking directly.
He also had his suspicions, but he couldn't act recklessly without evidence.
After everyone snapped out of their thoughts, they greeted each other and then left.
