#470 - The plan against Qin Buyi
Time flew by, and three days passed.
Many things happened during these three days.
The biggest of these events has even swept through the eighty-one kingdoms under the Heavenly Battle Sect's control.
This event was Qin Buyi and the Great Ming Dynasty announcing their allegiance to the Second Elder's faction within the Heavenly Battle Sect.
The news wasn't released by Qin Buyi instructing the Great Ming Dynasty; rather, it was disseminated by the Second Elder's faction within the Heavenly Battle Sect.
Xinghui had long returned to the Heavenly Battle Sect and reported the matter to the Second Elder.
Subsequently, the Second Elder's faction immediately issued a statement, along with news that the Great Ming Dynasty was about to attack the surrounding kingdoms.
The reason for the Second Elder's faction doing this is not difficult to understand. From the beginning, the Second Elder's faction wanted to win over Qin Buyi and get him on their side.
Now, after spending 10 billion low-grade spirit stone resources, they finally got Qin Buyi, a Dragon Gate Realm expert, on their ship. With the goal achieved, they naturally had to create momentum.
Otherwise, wouldn't the 10 billion low-grade spirit stones have been spent in vain?
The Second Elder's faction was delighted about this news, with such a strong expert like Qin Buyi joining them.
However, the other factions weren't so happy. Previously, the Second Elder, disregarding his own dignity, personally intervened as a Human Immortal Realm expert to obstruct those sent by other factions to win Qin Buyi over.
This resulted in only the Second Elder's faction reaching the Great Ming Dynasty, and now they have successfully won over Qin Buyi, this Dragon Gate Realm expert.
How could the other factions be happy about this?
The other factions had no doubts about the information released by the Second Elder's faction.
At this level, it's very easy to distinguish between lies and truth.
Because the Second Elder's actions were so undignified, the other factions temporarily put aside their differences and organized themselves to discuss how to deal with the Second Elder's faction.
They wanted to give the Second Elder's faction a major loss and diminish the Second Elder's prestige.
Naturally, this included the Great Ming Dynasty and Qin Buyi, who had just joined the Second Elder's faction.
The Great Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder, a total of four Elder factions, gathered together to discuss how to sanction the Second Elder's faction.
The Heavenly Battle Sect has a total of five major factions, and four of them temporarily put aside their differences to sanction the Second Elder's faction.
This shows how much backlash the Human Immortal Realm expert's premature intervention caused.
After the members of these four factions discussed and formulated the general policy for sanctioning the Second Elder's faction, someone brought up: "What should be done with the Great Ming Dynasty and Qin Buyi?"
As soon as this was said, everyone looked at each other.
Qin Buyi's combat power is not low, and he has the dazzling record of killing three Dragon Gate Realm experts.
Apart from a Human Immortal Realm expert personally taking action, it would be very difficult to kill such an expert.
A Human Immortal Realm expert personally taking action is simply unrealistic at this stage of the Heavenly Battle Sect's internal strife.
The Second Elder's side isn't dead. If the Human Immortal Realm experts from other factions dare to attack the Great Ming Dynasty and Qin Buyi...
...then the Second Elder's side would naturally have no more concerns. In that case, the Elders, who wanted to compete based on the strength of their respective forces in the early stages, would have to fight each other in a chaotic mess.
Obviously, this is not the choice of the Heavenly Battle Sect's various factions, which prioritize interests.
Under this idea, no faction is willing to take the lead and test the waters; they are all waiting for other factions to take action.
They want to use Qin Buyi's hand to weaken the strength of other factions. Even if a Dragon Gate Realm expert dies, it's still a profit.
You must know that Dragon Gate Realm experts are the backbone of this war. Except for the final decisive battle between Human Immortal Realm experts...
...the early and middle stages have always been dominated by Dragon Gate Realm experts in the Heavenly Battle Sect's internal strife, leading the war to its final outcome.
They can even affect the final decisive battle between Human Immortal Realm experts.
Just imagine, if the forces of the Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder's factions are all exhausted, leaving them as isolated commanders...
...would these four Human Immortal Realm Elders sit idly by and watch the Great Elder dominate?
At that time, without even thinking about it, the four Human Immortal Realm Elders would definitely unite and launch a devastating attack on the Great Elder's faction.
As the saying goes, if you don't let me have a good time, I won't let you have a good time either. If I can't get it, you can't even think about it.
This is the importance of the Dragon Gate Realm to this Heavenly Battle Sect internal strife.
And experts who can break through to the Dragon Gate Realm are extremely precious, even within the Heavenly Battle Sect.
Otherwise, why would these five major factions jointly issue recruitment orders to Qin Buyi?
Isn't it because the addition of Qin Buyi, this Dragon Gate Realm expert, would significantly improve their battle situation and advantages?
Losing a Dragon Gate Realm expert might not be a big deal for the Heavenly Battle Sect as a whole.
But now that the Heavenly Battle Sect is divided into five major factions, the number of Dragon Gate Realm experts seems a bit insufficient when spread across each faction.
For any of the five major factions, losing a Dragon Gate Realm expert would be extremely painful.
The Great Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder, these people from the four major factions, looked at each other, but no one volunteered.
Everyone knew what the others were thinking.
The scene fell into silence. Then, the Great Elder's faction said, "Why not have the Fifth Elder's faction send a Dragon Gate Realm expert to the Great Ming Dynasty to kill Qin Buyi?"
The scene immediately erupted. The people from the Fifth Elder's faction naturally disagreed.
While the two major factions were arguing, they dragged the Third Elder's faction and the Fourth Elder's faction, who were watching the show, into the verbal battle.
Later, the Great Elder, who had extremely high prestige in the Heavenly Battle Sect, came forward and said that it would be better for each of the four major factions to send a late-stage Dragon Gate Realm expert to the Great Ming Dynasty to kill Qin Buyi.
The quarrel stopped. In this way, the four major factions of the Heavenly Battle Sect decided to each send a late-stage Dragon Gate Realm expert to kill Qin Buyi.
Late-stage Dragon Gate Realm experts in the Heavenly Battle Sect, including the Second Elder's five major factions, are definitely considered the number three figures.
The number two figures are the Perfected Dragon Gate Realm experts, and the number one figures are the leaders of each major faction, that is, the Elders.
These people analyzed Qin Buyi's intelligence from the collected information. Although Qin Buyi's combat power is terrifying, his highest known achievement is killing the late-stage Dragon Gate Realm Thousand Transformations Demon Lord.
As for the information that Qin Buyi can unleash Human Immortal Realm attacks, these people, including the Great Elder, didn't believe a word of it.
The reason is simple: if Qin Buyi could really unleash Human Immortal Realm expert attacks, why would he be living in the Great Ming Dynasty?
Therefore, from the perspective of these people from the four major factions of the Heavenly Battle Sect, Qin Buyi can kill one late-stage Dragon Gate Realm expert, but he can never be the opponent of four late-stage Dragon Gate Realm experts.
After everything was discussed, under the secret arrangement of the four major factions, the late-stage Dragon Gate Realm experts from each faction quietly approached the Great Ming Dynasty...
The above is the impact of Qin Buyi joining the Second Elder's faction within the Heavenly Battle Sect.
But the impact is definitely not limited to these. There is also the impact on the kingdoms surrounding the Great Ming...
