Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 158 - 111: Array Master? Senior Brother Lin, You Can Ask Junior Brother Ye
The graceful figure finished speaking, and several figures furrowed their brows slightly, lowering their heads in disappointment and heaviness.
"Brother Jiang, what should we do now? Without the Array Masters, forget about crossing Black Wind Ridge to enter the ’Main Battle Domain’; we might not even withstand the next wave of attacks from the Demon Sect."
Immediately, someone was filled with urgency, overwhelmed with anxiety.
The terrifying young man called Brother Jiang heard the words and was equally at a loss, sighing deeply, "Enough, enough, perhaps the situation in other ’Battle Domains’ is even worse than ours. It is a critical time now, and having an exceptional Demon Fiend from the Seventy-Two Small Peaks coming to our aid is already quite good."
"But Brother...?" Someone tried to speak but hesitated.
Yet, the youth with the surname Jiang waved his hand slightly, slowly closing his eyes, exhaling deeply, "Brother Lin, why don’t you meet these junior brothers and sisters and help them familiarize themselves with the surroundings, explain the current situation we’re facing here."
"Brother Jiang, aren’t you going to meet them personally?" Brother Lin frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Brother Jiang slowly opened his eyes, filled with helplessness, "I’ll go back and think of a solution, see what we should do next. Returning to the ’Battle Domain’ is impossible; if it fails, we’ll only have to plead with those Array Masters from the Yunlan Sect."
After speaking, the youth was filled with dejection and compromise, "Hopefully they can show mercy, overlook past grudges, and set up some Defense Arrays for us. At least, the junior brothers and sisters in the city can survive, live to the day the ’Hundred Sects’ launch a counterattack."
As soon as he said this, several figures showed unbearable helplessness. One looked worried and said, "But Brother, you and those from Yunlan Sect...?"
This person hesitated, not finishing the sentence, while other figures chimed in quickly.
"Yes, Brother. For years, we’ve constantly clashed with the people from Yunlan Sect. Although everyone must join forces against common enemies now and temporarily set aside the ’Hundred Sects’ dispute, those from Yunlan Sect are just waiting to see us fail."
"Brother Jiang, I disagree with this. Your visit will surely bring endless humiliation. We’d rather die standing than let you suffer such disgrace."
"Exactly, even if we die fighting in this godforsaken place, we will never seek their help."
"Brother Jiang, you are the main person in charge of this ’Battle Domain’; you mustn’t bow to them."
"Indeed, Brother, what’s there to fear about death?"
"That’s right, without you, we wouldn’t have survived until today. What those from Yunlan Sect want most is to see you bow down to them. Even if it means death, we don’t want you to endure such humiliation."
Everyone refuted in anger and dissatisfaction. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
It was evident that before the Demon Sect invaded the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ in force, the disciples of the Hundred Sects were not as united as imagined. On the contrary, for thousands of years, the ’Battle Domain’ has always been an arena of competition among the Hundred Sects.
In this world, there is no permanent cooperation, only permanent interests. Without the intrusion of Demonic Dao Sects, the fighting among the sects might have been fiercer.
Even though all Righteous Dao sects are forced to unite now, some sects still remain at odds, in fierce opposition.
This is one of the reasons that for endless ages, Righteous Dao sects have never been able to eradicate Demonic Dao Sects completely—because, though they appear to be in the same camp, the competition among the sects is sometimes more terrifying, fighting each other for millions of years with countless casualties.
Divine Sword Sect and Yunlan Sect haven’t yet reached the point of irreconcilable conflict, but due to the proximity of these two Divine Sects, there have been numerous clashes in resource competition, and continual deadly fights among disciples have often occurred.
At this moment, Brother Jiang, it’s apparent he doesn’t get along well with those few disciples from Yunlan Sect who are in the same ’Battle Domain.’
Moreover, becoming the head of a ’Battle Domain’ in Divine Sword Sect shows that Brother Jiang is an exceptional Demon Fiend unheard of in ages, significantly eclipsing those from Yunlan Sect.
In the Martial Soul Continent, asking such an exemplary Demon Fiend to seek aid from the opponent is considered a disgrace, and for a Demon Fiend to lower himself in plea is a spiritual blow.
Yet, facing the passionate objections, the youth surnamed Jiang sighed slowly, scanning the people around him resolutely.
"There’s no need for further discussion, junior brothers and sisters. I’ve made up my mind. In a moment, I’ll set out for the Yunlan Sect’s station."
"Brother...?"
The crowd tried to persuade him, but Brother Jiang lightly raised his hand, interrupting their words, then slowly gazed at the already ruined city behind him, his eyes filled with a sense of loss and desolation, at the end of his heroic path.
Compared to those junior brothers and sisters in the city, what does personal honor amount to?
"Should I just watch as those junior brothers and sisters also lie dead in the wilderness? The remaining disciples, let them live for Divine Sword Sect."
After speaking, Brother Jiang slowly turned and stepped toward the city, but as he passed Brother Lin, he gently patted his shoulder weakly, "Greet well the newly arrived junior brothers and sisters. What they are about to face next is even harsher than what we’ve endured."
After saying this, the youth turned into a long rainbow, swiftly entering the boundless city behind him, disappearing from sight.
