#3215 - fail

The sea creature army created a massive uproar, expanding their activity range.

The upper echelons of the Horned Chi Clan immediately reacted and quickly dispatched powerful experts to deal with the matter.

The destruction and casualties caused by the beast tide were actually very limited, but this behavior was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Horned Chi Clan, something they could not tolerate.

For millions of years, they had always been the ones slapping others in the face, and had never been slapped themselves.

Although they faced many challenges and had many enemies, no one had ever dared to intrude into their territory so recklessly.

The Horned Chi Clan lost face, and all the forces in the Thunderous Continent were laughing at them, but they did not muddy the waters or create obstacles as Wang Hao had expected.

If the sea beasts attacked the Horned Chi Clan's territory today, they might attack them tomorrow, so they hoped to quell the situation as soon as possible.

To this end, they quickly sent people to reach an agreement with the Horned Chi Clan to jointly mobilize forces to clear out the sea beast army.

This was because their interests were related, and they had long been in cahoots.

Turning against each other was something for the future; now they had to unite to strangle any existence that challenged them, so that even if they did not become the ultimate victors in the future, their status would not fall too much.

The Thunderous Continent was the largest continent in the Qianyang Realm and the most prosperous holy land for immortal cultivation. The forces of all sides were powerful, and when they became serious and united, the strength they displayed surprised Wang Hao.

Mere sea beasts were no match for them at all.

When it came to strength, the sea race cultivators like Shi Chuanwu were actually not weak, but in front of the experts of these super clans, they were simply vulnerable.

The reason Shi Chuanwu was able to live so freely for so long was partly because he adopted guerrilla tactics, which were more flexible.

But the biggest reason was that the Horned Chi Clan had not yet reacted.

Now that they were targeted, no matter how many sea beasts there were, it was not enough to kill!

After hearing the news, Wang Hao immediately changed his plan. He ordered Shi Chuanwu to stop targeting the Horned Chi Clan and instead attack the weaker vassal forces.

If the opportunity was not right, they would rather hide than expose their tracks.

In the end, it was still the same old guerrilla warfare. Wang Hao's original intention was to have the sea beasts contain the Horned Chi Clan for a period of time, the longer the delay, the better.

With Wang Hao's support, Shi Chuanwen and others brought their skills to the extreme, doing their best to evade the enemy's pursuit and delaying for several years.

But the overall situation in the Qianyang Realm did not change much because of this.

Wang Hao originally thought that with so many sea beasts rampaging, the Horned Chi Clan would inevitably divert some of their energy, greatly affecting their war preparations.

But Wang Hao still underestimated the Horned Chi Clan's foundation and strength, and also underestimated their determination.

The super clans had long reached an agreement to prioritize eliminating dissidents.

Mere sea beasts were not taken seriously by them at all, so naturally they would not affect their plans.

They clearly knew that the sea race was complex and that the actions of some sea race cultivators should not be attributed to the entire sea race, thereby provoking a war.

The top experts were extremely intelligent people, and they had already guessed that Shi Chuanwu must have someone supporting him, and believed that there was a 90% chance that it was instigated by the human race.

At the Mahayana level, all schemes and tricks were useless. This kind of instigation was seen through by them at once.

To this end, they only sent a force to specifically pursue Shi Chuanwu, to prevent him from causing greater destruction, and then focused on preparing for war, without wasting any more energy.

The sea beast army was first dispersed, and then gradually annihilated. The few that were lucky enough to survive were also difficult to cause trouble.

A carefully planned operation, organized at a huge cost, failed just like that.

Although Wang Hao had expected it, he still could not hide his disappointment. This time, he truly felt the strength of the super clans.

But the goal was considered achieved. From the launch to the destruction, it also delayed for ten years, causing some losses to the Horned Chi Clan and affecting their plans.

The Tianxuan Alliance also gained enough time to prepare for war.

With the plan failing, Wang Hao had to find another way to increase his own strength.

He could not rely too much on Ouyang Zhenting either. Perhaps some resources could be transferred back, but other small-scale actions would be difficult to affect the overall situation.

Wang Hao thought for a long time, and finally found Ao Yunguang.

The only ones who could shake the Horned Chi Clan and these super clans were the sea race. He had to find a way to mobilize the sea race.

The True Dragon Clan had always been at odds with other races, so it was worth a try.

Ao Yunguang was a traitor to the True Dragon Clan, but he was once a core member of the True Dragon Clan, and his bloodline was not bad. He was qualified to be the Lord of the Dragon Palace.

Ruling the True Dragon Clan might be impossible, at least not in the short term, but what about cooperation?

Wang Hao was, after all, the successor chosen by the True Dragon Ancestor. Most of the True Dragon Ancestor's remains had not been used yet. Could he win over the True Dragon Clan by giving them a little?

The True Dragon Ancestor's remains did not have much effect on Wang Hao. He only took the best parts, such as Dragon Essence and Dragon Marrow. The effect of refining them for ordinary cultivators was less than one-tenth of that of the True Dragon bloodline.

But it was different for the True Dragon Clan. These were all top-level spiritual objects, and it was possible for them to experience the phenomenon of returning to their ancestors, thereby greatly increasing their strength.

Although cooperation might face various difficulties, Wang Hao still held on to the idea of treating a dead horse as if it were still alive, and sent a message talisman to Ao Yunguang, who was in seclusion.

After receiving the message, Ao Yunguang immediately stopped his seclusion and came to see Wang Hao.

Ao Yunguang's cultivation had improved a lot. If he could completely refine the piece of True Dragon remains that Wang Hao gave him, his cultivation could be greatly improved. If the phenomenon of returning to his ancestors occurred, the benefits would be even more unimaginable.

After listening, Ao Yunguang frowned and sighed, "Fellow Daoist Wang, it seems that you know nothing about my True Dragon Clan!"

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Hao was confused.

Next, Ao Yunguang's words greatly changed Wang Hao's expression, and he could no longer sit still, "The True Dragon Clan is unruly and never bows to anyone. If they know that you have obtained the Ancestor's inheritance, they will only come to your door to snatch it, not to cooperate with you and ask for your alms!"

"But you..." Wang Hao looked at Ao Yunguang, looking him up and down.

Ao Yunguang's old face darkened, "I am different from them. I have seen the power of Fellow Daoist Wang, and I also know your ambition. At the same time, I believe that you can ascend to the Immortal Realm sooner or later."

Back then, he, Ao Yunguang, had no choice but to cooperate with Wang Hao. During a long period of time, he also wanted to regain the dominance of the cooperation, but he was defeated by Wang Hao one by one.

He was also unruly, but unfortunately, he was not strong enough, so he had to bow his head.

"No wonder your True Dragon Clan has such a bad reputation," Wang Hao said with some helplessness, and cursed with dissatisfaction.

He suddenly thought of something again, lowered his head and said, "But it is different now. The super clans all have immortals backing them, but the True Dragon Ancestor has already passed away. Doesn't the True Dragon Clan need to find another backer?"

"That's right, if I were the Lord of the Dragon Palace, I would definitely lead the entire True Dragon Clan to stand with Fellow Daoist Wang and join the sect of Fairy Rong, but is it useful for you to tell me? The other members of the True Dragon Clan don't know the news of the Ancestor's death at all. Even if you tell them, they won't believe you. If you take out evidence, they will regard you as an enemy."

Ao Yunguang sighed and said rather helplessly.
