#718 - Xuanhuo Tianzong joins the war!
The strongest individual in the Weak Water Dao Sect was Water King, a Perfected Human Immortal.
Water King was currently seeking help from the other six major forces, saying:
“Qin Yi's army is counterattacking too fiercely. In just one day, they have not only completely slaughtered our seven-faction alliance,
but also seized two-thirds of our Weak Water Dao Sect's territory. If this continues, none of us will benefit.”
The other six major forces' experts understood this principle perfectly well.
Each of them wore a grave expression, racking their brains for various strategies.
After a while, a sigh emerged from the crowd:
“Alas, we miscalculated this time. None of us expected the Great Ming Qin Emperor's strength to be so formidable!”
“It would be one thing if his personal combat strength was overwhelming, but how could his subordinates also be so powerful!”
As soon as these words fell, they were met with many voices of agreement:
“Exactly, alas~ we were too greedy, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant! We were too hasty!”
“We shouldn't have been so careless towards someone capable of replacing the Heaven Battling Sect.”
“Now the situation is awkward. What should we do!”
“The Great Ming Qin Emperor's army is about to completely devour the Weak Water Dao Sect. We must think of a solution!”
...
Normally, these six major forces would not be as anxious as they were now.
Instead, they would calmly watch the Weak Water Dao Sect being devoured by the Great Ming Dynasty.
But things were different now. They were all in this together, and they had all stirred up this trouble together.
The Great Ming Qin Emperor had personally stated that he would destroy all seven of their forces. They understood the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'.
If the Weak Water Dao Sect was truly destroyed, none of the remaining six forces could escape.
To take a step back, these people also had their own agendas.
Fighting on someone else's territory was always better than fighting on their own.
If the main battlefield was set in the Weak Water Dao Sect, no matter how the battle ultimately went, the damage to their own forces would not be too severe.
After some discussion, the six major forces finally reached a consensus.
That was, if they wanted to save the Weak Water Dao Sect, relying solely on Early-Stage Human Immortals was no longer possible to turn the tide.
Fortunately, the Great Ming Qin Emperor was still weakened. It would be better to take advantage of his weakness and deploy high-end combat power.
They would severely damage his army in one fell swoop, and if possible, kill them all. Then they would see what other tricks the Great Ming Qin Emperor had!
The six major forces stated one after another: “My Heavenly Star Dynasty will send out one Early-Stage Earth Immortal expert and five Perfected Human Immortals to help the Weak Water Dao Sect in battle!”
“My Heavenly Pivot Dynasty will send out one Early-Stage Earth Immortal expert and five Perfected Human Immortals to help the Weak Water Dao Sect in battle!”
“My Azure Lotus Sword Sect will send out one Early-Stage Earth Immortal expert and five Perfected Human Immortals to help the Weak Water Dao Sect in battle!”
“My Azure Water Sword Sect will send out one Early-Stage Earth Immortal expert and five Perfected Human Immortals to help the Weak Water Dao Sect in battle!”
...
The six major forces each sent out one Early-Stage Earth Immortal expert and five Perfected Human Immortals.
Then, they turned their gazes towards Water King of the Weak Water Dao Sect.
Water King said with a complex expression: “My Weak Water Dao Sect does not have any Earth Immortal experts... I can only send out five Perfected Human Immortals.”
When he said these words, Water King was extremely shocked inside.
He had originally thought that among the seven major forces, there would always be some forces like himself, without any Earth Immortal experts.
He didn't expect that when it came time to reveal their assets, only he was the most destitute.
It was truly as the saying goes, only when the tide recedes do you know who isn't wearing pants.
When the six major forces heard Water King's words, regret appeared on their faces.
This regret was that if they had known the Weak Water Dao Sect was so weak, they should have attacked it long ago and devoured it completely!
Unfortunately, now that the seven major forces were tied together, if they wanted to attack the Weak Water Dao Sect, they could only wait until after this war was over.
There was competition between major forces, and this competition was exceptionally cruel.
The principle of the strong preying on the weak was thoroughly demonstrated here.
To put it bluntly, the weak were not worthy of survival!
Water King of the Weak Water Dao Sect also saw through the petty thoughts of these six major forces, and cursed inwardly:
“Damn it, these bastards, none of them have good intentions!”
Water King himself, however, overlooked one thing. If he were faced with this situation, he would make the same choice.
When living beings are in the dominant position, they never consider the psychology of those in the disadvantaged position.
But when they are in the disadvantaged position, they yearn to receive the support of the strong...
The meeting ended, and the six Earth Immortal experts and thirty-five Perfected Human Immortals headed towards the location of Qin Liang's army.

Profound Fire Heaven Sect.
A disciple of the Third Elder's faction reported to Third Elder Xuan You: “Elder Xuan You, Elder Xuan Ming has fallen!”
A ruthless look flashed across Xuan You's face as he said: “Fallen? Have you found out who did it?”
The disciple said: “We have found out. It was done by Qin Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty.”
Xuan You asked in confusion: “Qin Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty? Why have I never heard of this organization?”
The disciple said: “Elder Xuan You, it's normal that you haven't heard of it.”
“This force is a newly emerging force that recently replaced the Heaven Battling Sect!”
Xuan You pondered for a moment, and said: “I know about the Heaven Battling Sect. We had some connections with it in the past few years.”
“Why was it destroyed now? Tell me in detail what happened.”
The disciple completely recounted the destruction of the Heaven Battling Sect and the rise of the Great Ming Dynasty to Xuan You.
After Xuan You finished listening, he fell into deep thought...
The deceased Xuan Ming was a member of his faction, and his cultivation was at the Early-Stage Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Xuan You murmured: “Great Ming Qin Emperor... Qin Yi...”
“Judging from all his past intelligence, this person's background must be extraordinary!”
“Being able to kill Xuan Ming, who had taken a poison pill, at the Perfected Human Immortal Realm further proves this person's outstanding combat power...”
The disciple asked: “Elder Xuan You, what should we do about this matter now?”
“Should we send someone to kill this child!”
Xuan You thought for a moment and shook his head, saying: “We don't know what kind of existence is behind this child, so we can't act rashly.”
“However, if this hatred is not avenged, I will be unwilling...”
The disciple said: “Elder Xuan You, the Qin Emperor's Great Ming Dynasty is now fully at war with the surrounding seven forces.”
“Why don't we send people over to disguise themselves and change their identities, so that even if they kill him, it will be difficult to find out that we did it.”
Xuan You's eyes lit up and he said: “You are a smart kid, that's a good idea!”
“Let's do as you said.”
The disciple said: “Elder Xuan You, what about the selection of personnel?”
Xuan You said: “Like this, instruct Xuan Zhong to handle this matter.”
The disciple said: “Elder Xuan Zhong is a Perfected Earth Immortal. Isn't it a bit of overkill to kill a Perfected Human Immortal cultivator?”
Xuan You said: “Are you trying to say that I'm using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?”
“The Great Ming Qin Emperor has a mysterious origin and many secrets on his body. Since he can kill Xuan Ming who took a poison pill, we must choose a foolproof strategy.”
“If we don't kill a snake completely, it will cause endless trouble. If we let such a person escape, I'm afraid we will encounter great trouble in the future!”
