Chapter 2716: Heavenly Sect
"You...," the leading man’s face was ashen. He knew that what Su Yang said was indeed true.
If they went back to repair it right now, they could still fix the array. But if they continued to fight, the array would be beyond repair.
Now, the issue was out. They had already reached the gates of the Nine Realms. If they kept fighting, they could surely break into the Nine Realms and seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet.
However, if they kept fighting, their losses would also be significant, making the array impossible to repair. Without repairing the array, the previously fallen Guardian Gods would not be resurrected.
If they stopped and rushed back to repair the array, it would allow the previously fallen Guardian Gods to be resurrected. But the problem was, they would have to retreat from the Nine Realms, making the hard-won victory meaningless, wasting all previous efforts.
The faces of these Guardian Gods turned extremely angry. Su Yang’s move had truly driven them into a dilemma. Should they go back to repair the array, or continue fighting to the end? It was indeed a tough choice!
After a long while, the leading man gritted his teeth and said, "Su, do you think using such a tactic can scare us? Hmph, even if we can’t repair that array temporarily, when the strongest among our Guardian Gods return, they can repair this array, and still bring those Guardian Gods back. But the opportunity to grab the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet is rare. If we seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet this time, we will have the upper hand. How do you think we will choose?"
The faces of the Heavenly Warriors from the Human Clan slightly changed, if these Guardian Gods continued to attack the Nine Realms, they really couldn’t withstand it!
"Hehehe..." Su Yang looked calm, smiling slightly, "Do you have some misunderstanding about the strongest? Do you really think that the strongest want you to seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet for their own use?"
"What do you mean?" the leading man frowned.
"It seems I really overestimated you!" Su Yang shook his head, "To think you’re an Ancient Guardian God and still don’t understand the true intentions of the strongest, yet here you are fighting us for the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet? When you reach the Strongest Realm of cultivation, do you think they still need the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet? I don’t know the situation on your side, but the strongest of my Human Clan have already returned. Without the Earth Principle, they still returned, so do the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet and Earth Principle really matter to the strongest?"
"The Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet and Earth Principle, frankly speaking, are for cultivators who haven’t reached the Strongest Realm. They allow us to enhance our strength to prepare for the coming great battle and assist the strongest. But if you all die out, how can you improve your strength? By then, even if the strongest repair the array and resurrect you, your stagnant strength would be meaningless in the great battle."
"Besides, if the strongest of your Guardian Gods return, why wouldn’t the strongest from the Human Clan return too? You might hold something useless to them, but everyone’s strength is evenly matched. In such a situation, how significant could the impact on this great battle really be?"
The leading man’s face turned gloomy, he bowed his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Su, your long speech is just an attempt to persuade me to retreat? Hmph, do you think your words could fool me? Do you really think I’m dumb? If you want me to retreat, it means you’re afraid of us continuing this battle. If you’re afraid, then we would truly be fools not to continue!"
"Hahaha..." Su Yang laughed heartily, "You’re right. I do want you to retreat. But it’s not because I’m afraid of you continuing the fight, but because I’m not resigned to it."
After saying that, Su Yang leisurely glanced at those Guardian Gods, then said, "Whatever, you’re not the one who truly holds power. Have your leader come out and talk to me directly!"
The leading man’s face changed, but he forced himself to stay calm, "I am the leader of the Guardian Gods!"
Su Yang gave him a disdainful look, "You’re not!"
The leading man wanted to speak but at that moment, a plain-looking man walked out from among the Guardian Gods.
Upon seeing this man come out, the faces of those surrounding Guardian Gods all changed. The leading man was also staring at him in shock, wanting to speak but immediately kept silent.
"Step back!" The plain man waved his hand.
The leading man obediently retreated, no doubt this plain-looking man was the one in true control.
The plain man glanced up and down at Su Yang and spoke softly, "You are the leader of the Human Clan, the young man named Su Yang?"
Su Yang nodded with a faint smile and also glanced at the plain man, "If I’m not mistaken, you should be the Heavenly Sect!"
The plain man smiled slightly and his appearance changed instantly. He was enveloped in endless radiance, and within this light, his body, appearance, and attire all transformed.
Finally, the plain man turned into a tall, imposing figure with a majestic appearance.
Those surrounding the Heavenly Warriors saw him, their faces all changed, and the Eternal Divine Emperor was particularly furious, "Heavenly Sect!"
Next to Su Yang, Ye Wantong’s longsword flew into the air, directly pointed at this person.
This man was indeed the Heavenly Sect. Previously, when Su Yang viewed the Female Sword Saint’s inherited memories, he had seen the Heavenly Sect, just in this appearance.
The Heavenly Sect glanced at the Eternal Divine Emperor, and finally fixed his gaze on Su Yang, "Su Alliance Leader truly lives up to your reputation, admirable!"
"Not as much as the Heavenly Sect Lord’s endurance and scheme. Clearly having returned and controlling the Guardian Gods, yet you chose to appear as an ordinary soldier, pushing forward a puppet!" Su Yang smiled faintly, "To deal with the Human Clan, the Heavenly Sect Lord really spared no effort!"
"Hehe..." the Heavenly Sect forced a smile, "I have fought countless times with the Human Clan Heavenly Warriors. If I let these Heavenly Warriors know that I am leading the Guardian Gods, it would only make them more vigilant. So I can’t show myself, lest I alert them to danger!"
The surrounding Heavenly Warriors were all furious. The Heavenly Sect was truly deceitful. Even on such matters, they were still deceived. If not for Su Yang figuring it out, they’d never have imagined this!
"I just didn’t expect someone like you to emerge from the Human Clan!" the Heavenly Sect looked at Su Yang, smiling lightly, "You are indeed different from those brutes. I underestimated you. I intended to keep my identity hidden until I completely defeated the Human Clan. Now it seems, there’s no need for that!"
