Chapter 1213: The Four Great Adversaries
Just as Liu Zixuan said, this time we are about to face martial artists from around the world.
As of now, we have already learned from Ya Fei that there will be at least ten Life and Death Realm experts, and the number of Innate Emperor Realm experts is even more unpredictable. Moreover, there is at least one terrifying existence beyond the Life and Death Realm hidden in the world.
Undoubtedly, this battle is filled with endless unknowns and dangers.
Going head-to-head is clearly not a wise choice. We must use some strategies to break down a massive power and then deal with it piece by piece.
And this requires courage and wisdom.
In the conversation, Liu Zixuan’s status has risen once again. Originally, he was on equal footing with the two Supreme Elders, but now he has become the backbone of this place.
If the Xinghai Martial World were compared to a person, then Liu Zixuan would be the heart and brain.
After everyone agreed, Ya Fei asked, "What about the forces within the Xinghai Martial World? I don’t think we should put all our eggs in one basket. We also need to mobilize everyone, with the Star Sea Martial Artists inside and our Alliance of the World martial artists outside. Attacking from both sides would undoubtedly strike a significant blow to those international forces."
Liu Zixuan nodded, "You’re right, currently inside the Star Sea, over ninety percent of the martial artists should participate. Of course, everyone knows that the battle with the Netherworld Hall has just ended, and various hidden sects and families have suffered different degrees of trauma. Therefore, combat power is certainly not at its peak."
"Actually, if we delve deeper, the battle for the Yudou Treasure this time, the Netherworld Hall is just a catalyst. Without those bastards, I fear things wouldn’t have fallen into such dire straits." Long Tengyun clenched his fist, "These guys concealed themselves in the world years ago, committing all kinds of evils. At first, it was thought they wouldn’t amount to much, but surprisingly, they’ve grown so rapidly in just a few years."
"Talking about those things is already too late. Currently, the main people from the Netherworld Hall are dead, and what’s left are merely some ants, nothing to worry about. Let me first talk about the situation in the Xinghai Martial World, and later, I need you two to briefly talk about the international forces so we can refine our plan."
"Okay!" Long Tengyun and Ye Qinglian nodded.
"Currently, the top forces in the Xinghai Martial World are nothing more than various hidden sects and families, as well as the Jiang Family. After the Netherworld Hall incident, it’s estimated that there are fewer than fifty Innate Emperor Realm experts."
Fewer than fifty experts above the Innate Emperor Realm. Undoubtedly, this number seems insignificant in front of global experts.
Liu Zixuan paused, "As for Life and Death Realm experts, counting you two and the experts from the Alliance of the World, we should have ten in the Xinghai Martial World."
"Ten?" Everyone looked up, with shocked expressions. When did so many Life and Death Realm experts emerge in the Xinghai Martial World?
They are all veterans of the martial world, and even they didn’t know, so how did Liu Zixuan know?
Liu Zixuan smiled slightly, "The Alliance of the World has at least three or four, right?"
"Three, I’ve told you before." Ya Fei said.
"Three from the Alliance of the World, and as for other hidden sects and families, I don’t know, but at most, no more than one or two. The Four Symbols Sect has two, which adds up to six or seven, counting me and the Jiang Family... enough to make up ten!" Liu Zixuan said with a smile.
"The Jiang Family has at least three?" The crowd asked in astonishment.
They all know the Jiang Family is strong, but the Jiang Family has always been too mysterious, even more so than those families and sects labeled as hidden.
Liu Zixuan smiled mysteriously, "Underestimate anyone, but don’t underestimate Jiang Yifan."
This is indeed excellent news, considering their current information suggests that foreign Life and Death Realm experts number just over ten. In this top-level confrontation, the difference is not overwhelmingly profound.
"Later, several of you Clan Leaders should notify the various hidden sects and families to unite their forces. Once the battle starts, we must be ready to respond with a single call!" Liu Zixuan said.
Wu Zheng and others immediately nodded, "Rest assured, we’ll head over soon."
"Alright. As for other martial worlds, I’ll notify them as I head north. Now let’s have the two seniors talk about the foreign martial world’s situation." Liu Zixuan said.
Upon Liu Zixuan’s words, Ye Qinglian glanced at everyone and spoke, "As we all know, although there are many martial artists abroad, only a few are renowned and top-notch. What I’m about to say are those we must handle with care."
"The Void Mountain Sect from Witch Country—this sect is extremely ancient, and its foundation is not inferior to the Four Symbols Sect. Moreover, their cultivation techniques are extremely vicious, making them one of the strongest enemies in the battle."
"Standing alongside the Void Mountain Sect are the Divine Court Sect from Mu Country and the Angel Sect from Peng Country. Rumor has it that these two sects originally belonged to one, but due to unknown changes, they split into the current two. The Divine Court Sect mostly consists of men, while the Angel Sect mostly consists of women. These sects lack the combat power of the Void Mountain Sect, yet their techniques are highly peculiar, and killing them in one go is difficult."
"And slightly inferior to the first three is the Spirit Institute of Tang Country. Although these guys look like monks, their methods lack any mercy, specializing in soul techniques and proficient in raising Gu and controlling poison. Caution is needed in this regard."
Ye Qinglian paused and continued, "These four forces rank as super existences globally. Any expert from these sects placed in the Star Sea is a force to be reckoned with."
Liu Zixuan stroked his chin, "I’ve heard the old master of the Jiang Family say that four keys, one was in the Four Symbols Sect, another was once in the Dragon Spirit, and one in the Void Mountain Sect. Now it seems that other than the Four Symbols Sect’s key, the other three have fallen into the hands of these forces."
"What about the Dragon Spirit’s key?" Long Tengyun asked.
"It was stolen by Wang Kun and taken abroad, likely to be handed to one of the major forces." Liu Zixuan said solemnly.
"Damn bastard!"
"Apart from these, are there other powerful existences?" Liu Zixuan asked again.
Ye Qinglian thought for a moment, "With so many countries, naturally there are, but they’re fragmented, mostly unknown. Other than their numbers, they pale in comparison to our hidden sects, though sects like the Four Symbols Sect are rare globally."
Liu Zixuan stroked his chin and nodded, "I will have someone keep an eye on these four forces."
"Where and when are you planning the key auction?" Long Tengyun asked.
"Since the Netherworld Hall battle, nearly a week has passed. Foreign martial artists should flood into the Star Sea within three days. We’ll set the auction for two days later, and within these two days, spread the news first..."
