System's Super Sect-Chapter 605 - 602. Strong solitary riders, enter East Lake!
At this moment, another man spoke, "There is definitely no mistake, I’ve checked it seven or eight times. But I just don’t understand why the Alliance Leader wants to ally with a force from such a godforsaken place. This place can’t conduct trade, and it’s in the Hundred Sects Alliance’s territory, which could be attacked by the Hundred Sects Alliance at any time. Allying with such a force, I can’t see any benefit for the Scatterman Stop."
Pan Su glanced at the woman in red, and then agreed, "Ge Jiao’s words aren’t without reason. Honestly, I also can’t fathom what the Alliance Leader is thinking. East Lake is far too distant from the area we control in the Scatterman Stop, and even with the Scarlet Fire Bird from the Mountain Suppression Realm, it would take more than half a month to fly there. If something were to happen, their people wouldn’t be able to reach our territory, and our people certainly couldn’t reach East Lake before an attack from the Hundred Sects Alliance. It’s not a wise move to ally with the Immortal Sect; it seems more like a waste of time."
"Besides, the Immortal Sect’s destruction of the Dragon God Sect isn’t as outrageous as it’s rumored. The events I discovered were quite simple: the Immortal Sect launched a surprise attack on the Dragon God Sect when the Divine Lady and the Four Elders of the Dragon God Sect weren’t present. To speak truthfully, it was actually the Hundred Sects Alliance and those seemingly united Four-star Influences who destroyed the Dragon God Sect. They assembled their allied forces and lunged at them like seeing meat, forgetting even the original purpose of assembling their coalition." Seeing Pan Su recognize his point, Ge Jiao quickly shared the information he had discovered.
Actually, he originally didn’t want to say this, after all, it’s the decision of the Alliance Leader.
He’s just a small elder under the Alliance Leader, possessing some authority but still a subordinate. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
He’s not a fool, why would he speak ill of the Alliance Leader behind his back?
Why would he question the Alliance Leader’s decision alone?
But with someone sharing his perspective, the situation was different. Saying some words of doubt now, who would spread it? They were, after all, second only to the Alliance Leader and Vice Alliance Leader in power, who would betray one another for no reason? Even if it got out, so what? Joints are not easily punished. How could the Alliance Leader possibly investigate and punish two elders of the Scatterman Stop at once? There are only seven elders in the Scatterman Stop.
"Really?"
Upon hearing Ge Jiao’s words, Pan Su revealed a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Ge Jiao laughed, "Of course, it’s true. It’s quite amusing, they gathered allied forces to fight the Immortal Sect, yet ended up helping the Immortal Sect devour the Dragon God Sect."
"Then why didn’t you tell the Alliance Leader earlier? If the Alliance Leader knew, how could he possibly send the three of us to ally with the Immortal Sect? We have capable people in Scatterman Stop who can kill the Sect Leader Tuo Hai of the Dragon God Sect."
Pan Su originally had some reverence for the Immortal Sect, but upon hearing that the Dragon God Sect was actually destroyed with the help of the Hundred Sects Alliance, his reverence vanished, and he felt this journey was a complete waste of time.
Allying with a sect that seemed about to be devoured by the coalition forces of the Hundred Sects Alliance in their area is a loss, isn’t it?
While the two continued their exchange, the woman in red finally interjected, "Enough, both of you, say less. The Immortal Sect does have considerable potential. If we can persuade them to relocate their sect to our Scatterman Stop territory, it would be beneficial to us."
The two nodded and stopped the conversation.
However, despite stopping, the two still grumbled inwardly with some discontent. Although Scatterman Stop wasn’t as powerful as the Hundred Sects Alliance, it was still a major force occupying its domain, with up to 30 people on the Heaven and Earth Lake’s peak list. As elders of Scatterman Stop, just below the Alliance Leader and Vice Alliance Leader in terms of power, they came to a place like East Lake to ally with an Immortal Sect.
What difference would it make if the Immortal Sect relocated to Scatterman Stop’s territory? Aside from occupying a new domain and extracting more resources from their territory, what use was the Immortal Sect?
They wouldn’t contribute anything more, and instead, Scatterman Stop would have to assist the Immortal Sect in defending against the coalition forces of the Hundred Sects Alliance. The effort and reward disparity were clear as day.
"By the way, Ge Jiao, how many people did the Hundred Sects Alliance gather?" Pan Su suddenly asked.
Ge Jiao thought for a moment and then said, "According to the spy investigating the Hundred Sects Alliance branch at Xuanse Lake, it’s known there are tens of thousands for now. However, after the Dragon God Sect incident, most of the tens of thousands dispersed. Nevertheless, the original dozen or so strong individuals in the Mountain Suppression Realm who joined haven’t withdrawn. The Hundred Sects Alliance will definitely send more strong individuals in the Mountain Suppression Realm. Although they helped the Immortal Sect devour the Dragon God Sect, their goal of expedition hasn’t changed. Considering the temperament of the Hundred Sects Alliance, they surely will send Silver Level Chiefs to participate, first to kill the one who killed the Sect Leader Tuo Hai of the Dragon God Sect."
Upon hearing this, Pan Su couldn’t help but laugh, "The Immortal Sect is really ridiculous, thinking themselves invincible with an Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression as their backing, daring to annihilate the Dragon God Sect and accelerating the Hundred Sects Alliance’s expedition. All seven Silver Level Chiefs of the Hundred Sects Alliance are top-ranked strong individuals on the peak list. Only by teaming up can you and I suppress one of them. If any of them shows up, the Immortal Sect is doomed."
His words were filled with an air of mockery.
Ge Jiao suddenly called out to the woman in red, "Yun Jing, do you still think the Immortal Sect has utilization value?"
"The Alliance Leader said it does, so naturally it does," Yun Jing replied.
However, even as she said this, she had doubts in her heart.
The Immortal Sect being watched by the Hundred Sects Alliance was almost hopeless. Being located in a place like East Lake, right inside the territory of the Hundred Sects Alliance, it was nearly impossible to remain safe.
While Scatterman Stop had the ability to contend with the Hundred Sects Alliance on their own turf, entering the territory of the Hundred Sects Alliance, they were powerless for a direct confrontation. Initially, she thought the Immortal Sect had single-handedly destroyed the Dragon God Sect, so she was full of confidence in them, thinking their joining Scatterman Stop would greatly boost its strength.
For any force capable of destroying a Four-star Giant Influence, its power must be at the peak of Heaven and Earth Lake.
But after hearing Ge Jiao reveal the truth, she was shaken.
As an elder, she had to maintain the image of the Alliance Leader, so she couldn’t voice doubts. However, inwardly she was filled with regret, no longer wanting to continue wasting time. As an elder of Scatterman Stop, she had many other matters to attend to. Plus, during the centennial event of Heaven and Earth Lake, there’s an agreement for peace between the Hundred Sects Alliance and Scatterman Stop, so Scatterman Stop would send people to participate in the event.
Nonetheless, since they’ve come to East Lake, it’s worth trying to persuade the Immortal Sect to relocate the sect.
If they are willing to enter Scatterman Stop’s territory, then according to the Alliance Leader’s intentions, Scatterman Stop would offer protection to the Immortal Sect.
Meanwhile, Wen Ping from the Thousand Layers of Immortal Sect walked slowly downward, choosing not to use the ability of an Inch of Heaven and Earth from the Thousand Layers, but instead leisurely stepping down one step at a time, a rich smile on his face, embracing the newly shed sunlight, entering Cangwu City.
