Chapter 1371: Risking Everything and Taking Advantage of the Situation
"What is the reaction of the Outer Dao Alliance?" The Smoke and Cloud Saint Lord asked the elder in front of him.
That's right, the force that sent people to attack the Buddhist world before was none other than the strong man of the Smoke and Cloud Holy Land.
The Smoke and Cloud Holy Land was originally just an ordinary second-rate force, but the Smoke and Cloud Saint Lord was also a man of great luck. He participated in the Conferred God War and the Heavenly Court Development Plan. With his step-by-step efforts, he finally stepped into the realm of the fifth level of the True Immortal.
Although it is only the realm of the fifth level of the True Immortal, the Smoke and Cloud Holy Land is also a hegemon and a famous immortal sect.
According to common sense, a force that does not even have a strong man of the sixth level of the True Immortal dares to participate in the struggle between the Outer Dao Alliance and the Buddhist sect. Even if the benefits are huge and tempting, it feels a bit ignorant.
However, although the Smoke and Cloud Holy Land only has the Smoke and Cloud Saint Lord, it is a loose alliance. The Smoke and Cloud Saint Lord has several allies, namely the Golden Cloud Saint Lord of the Golden Cloud Holy Land and the Xiyue Zhenjun of the Xiyue Cave Heaven.
These three are all powerful people of the fifth level of the True Immortal Realm. The three forces are allies and help each other. Although they are called three forces, they actually advance and retreat together. It can be said that they are an unbreakable alliance.
Although only the strong men of Yanxia Holy Land took action this time, it was actually a test made by the common idea of the three forces to see the reaction of both sides.
The scope of development of these three forces in the Chaos Void happened to be close to the Buddhist sect, which resulted in them not being oppressed by the Buddhist sect in the past. They could not develop smoothly because of the suppression of the Buddhist sect.
It can be said that the resentment of these three forces against the Buddhist sect has a long history, but because of the fear of the strength of the Buddhist sect, they can only keep a low profile and dare not speak out.
Now seeing that the Outer Dao Alliance has directly fought with the Buddhist sect, and has made the Buddhist sect so embarrassed, it has not been able to suppress the Outer Dao Alliance until now. On the contrary, the war is getting wider and wider, which can't help but make these forces have some different thoughts.
"It turns out that the Buddhist sect is not as strong and terrifying as they show!"
"Even the sixth-generation warships can be purchased, which proves that there are still many top immortal sects who dislike the Buddhist sect. If they take action, they may not be unable to get support."
"If we fight, we can take this opportunity to tear off a piece of meat from the Buddhist sect, which is also a great help for us."
Deterrence is a very mysterious thing. When you are strong, all parties dare not react, even if you deliberately bully the other party.
But once you expose your weakness, those enemies will bite you like hyenas.
This is the case for the three forces now. For many years, they have dared not speak out because of the strong deterrence of the Buddhist sect. Even if many of their original interests were taken away by the Buddhist sect, they can only swallow their anger because they are worried about being struck by the thunder of the Buddhist sect and finally suffering a catastrophe.
However, seeing the resistance of the Outer Dao Alliance, the power displayed by the Buddhist sect was not as terrifying as they expected. If the Outer Dao Alliance was just a flash in the pan, it would be fine. Instead, it has persisted now, which makes the ambitions of the three parties flourish.
After all, no strong or powerful person is willing to be inferior to others. Their usual low-keyness is nothing more than insufficient strength and failure to see the opportunity.
Now someone has taken the initiative to stand up, and there are still some forces behind them to support them, which makes them see an opportunity.
Especially now that the situation between heaven and earth is changing, everyone knows that troubled times are coming, and the power structure between heaven and earth will inevitably be reshuffled. If you can't improve your own power, you can only be washed away by the waves.
So sometimes, taking a risk and fighting to the death, even if it fails in the end, is better than shrinking all the time and finally being destroyed with regrets.
Therefore, they are trying and testing whether they can also take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and bite off enough benefits for themselves.
If the Buddhists really pursued the matter this time, or if the Outer Dao Alliance directly pointed them out and refused to admit that they were involved in this incident, then they would decisively admit defeat to the Buddhists, saying that this time it was a misunderstanding, even if they would pay some price.
But if the Buddhists did not find out, or if the Outer Dao Alliance was willing to take the risk, then they would definitely not mind taking risks to seize some benefits and accumulate strength for the next time.
"The Outer Dao Alliance had no doubts, but took the initiative to publicize that they had broken through another world." said the elder of the Yanxia Sect.
Since the King Kong Sect Master led people to attack the Buddhist world, every time after attacking a world, he would use the Bai Xiaosheng Organization and the Tianji Pavilion to spread his achievements to the outside world.
In addition to inspiring their own people, it is also to show their determination to the outside world and let all parties see their value. This is why all parties are willing to provide some support behind the scenes.
Even if the parties are unwilling to personally go down, if they can bleed a behemoth like the Buddhists at this time, they don't mind taking out some resources to support the Outer Dao Alliance.
On the contrary, if the Outer Dao Alliance did not react, it would not anger the Buddhist sect, but it would also not be able to truly demonstrate its value and gain enough support.
"It seems that the Outer Dao Alliance is really anxious and wants all parties to leave immediately." The Holy Lord Yanxia said softly.
The Buddhist sect may misunderstand this matter, but the Outer Dao Alliance is absolutely aware of it.
Even if they don't know which force did it, they know it wasn't their people who did it.
In this case, they still pretended to be ignorant and took the blame on themselves. In fact, it proves that the Outer Dao Alliance also knows that they can't hold on for long and need new forces to take action.
"Then should we continue to take action?" asked the elder of Yanxia Sect.
They came here to get benefits and fish in troubled waters, but if the Outer Dao Alliance can't hold on, they will be directly confronted with Buddhism.
"Take action, why not!" The Smoke and Cloud Saint sneered.
"But you said, the Outer Dao Alliance might not be able to hold on?"
"It's because they can't hold on that we have to take action. If Buddhism easily suppresses the Outer Dao Alliance, do you think Buddhism will stop?" The Smoke and Cloud Saint's eyes were cold.
Now is not the past. In the past, all forces were in a balance, and everyone could open up the world and plunder profits from the sea of heaven and earth, but now the profits are not enough to share, and the war is about to break out.
For large immortal gates, they want to break the monopoly of top immortal gates to seize profits. For top immortal gates, they also want to chop and eat these large immortal gates to make up for their own interests.
Let alone other immortal gates, with the dominance of Buddhism, they will naturally continue to expand and continue to strengthen their own strength.
That is, this time the Outer Dao Alliance killed several Arhat Venerables of Buddhism, and because Zhao Baiyang's testimony to the Taoist Lord brought threats to Buddhism, Buddhism and Heavenly Court united to deal with the Outer Dao Alliance.
If the Outer Dao Alliance had not blocked the knife, I am afraid that when the war really started, the first thing Buddhism would do is to deal with their Yanxia Holy Land and many forces close to Buddhism.
It seems that the Outer Dao Alliance's affairs this time have nothing to do with them, but in fact, the two sides are in a relationship of lips and teeth. Once Buddhism deals with the Outer Dao Alliance, they will definitely choose to continue to take action and will never easily put down the knife. At that time, the knife edge will cut the relationship between themselves and others.
Therefore, the Outer Dao Alliance is actually in a relationship of mutual dependence with their Yanxia Holy Land, Jinxia Holy Land and Xiyue Cave Heaven. Letting the Outer Dao Alliance continue to stalemate with the Buddhist sect is the best choice.
The Outer Dao Alliance cannot fall, otherwise they will be the next to be dealt with.
If it were not for this idea, even if there were some benefits, the Smoke and Cloud Saint would not take action at this time.
But sometimes the situation is like this. Their immortal sects seem powerful, but they cannot really dominate their own destiny. They can only try their best to survive in the turbulent world.
"We will personally contact the Golden Cloud Saint and the Xiyue True Lord and invite them to join us in the action. No matter when the Buddhist sect finds out, we will plunder more resources as quickly as possible, and at the same time find a way to make the Outer Dao Alliance last longer." The Smoke and Cloud Saint made a decision.
"At the same time, you go to the Outer Dao Alliance in person. Ask the deputy leader Tie Qianshan if he can buy the sixth-generation warship for us." The Smoke and Cloud Saint's eyes showed a decisive look.
Before anything is done, consider failure. Since you have decided to leave, you must prepare for the worst and be fully prepared.
"Sixth-generation battleship? Will the Outer Dao Alliance sell it to us?" The elders of Yanxia Holy Land were shocked.
He was also shocked by the generosity of his own Saint Lord. The family background of their Yanxia Holy Land was not as good as that of the Outer Dao Alliance. The Outer Dao Alliance had never been able to afford the sixth-generation battleship before, let alone them.
And even if the Outer Dao Alliance could buy the sixth-generation battleship, would they be willing to sell it to themselves at this time?
"Just ask. Besides, it is not certain that they will sell it to us. You can introduce people who are willing to sell it to us." Yanxia Saint Lord said.
Hearing that the Outer Dao Alliance has already bought the sixth-generation battleship, it can also be used to test whether it can also purchase the sixth-generation battleship.
After all, even if he wants to leave in person, the fifth-generation battleship is completely unable to hold up the situation in the future, and the sixth-generation battleship must be used to hold the line.
He believed that since someone was willing to sell the first sixth-generation warship, someone would definitely be willing to sell the second one, especially now that it was aimed at Buddhism.
"Yes!" The elder of Yanxia Holy Land responded.
He also knew the current situation. Whether to sell or not was up to the other party, but at least asking was not too much. Moreover, if they could have a sixth-generation warship, they would have more confidence.
The elder of Yanxia Holy Land did not dare to delay. Not only did he go to the Outer Dao Alliance in person, but he also sent someone to Bai Xiaosheng Organization to test it out to see if there was any opportunity here.
After all, Bai Xiaosheng was able to facilitate the Outer Dao Alliance to purchase the finished sixth-generation warship, which proved that Bai Xiaosheng had certain channels here, and maybe it could be done.
After Yanxia Saint Lord made the decision, he immediately went to discuss the next things with Jinxia Saint Lord and Xiyue Zhenjun as quickly as possible.
In fact, it was not a discussion. This time the test was not a decision made by him alone, but a joint decision made by the three of them, and even because of the words of the big man behind them.
You don't think that at this point, the three forces don't have the support of the Dao Lord behind them, and they don't cooperate with a certain Dao Lord, right?
A large-scale immortal sect alliance with three True Immortals of the Fifth Heaven is indeed a powerful force in the sea of heaven and earth, but this is the case without touching the top immortal sects.
If that were the case, even if the Smoke and Mist Saint Lord and his men knew that the Buddhist sect would deal with them first, they would only try to protect themselves and would not dare to take the initiative.
It is precisely because they have the support of the Taoist Lords and have reached cooperation conditions with some Taoist Lords that they really dare to take advantage of the situation and are willing to fight with the Buddhist sect.
In a sense, for some newly promoted Taoist Lords, especially those who do not have a large base, when they choose partners and vassal forces, the first choice is the immortal gate like the Smoke and Mist Holy Land.
After all, for such large immortal gates, they seem to be powerful, but because they have powerful neighbors, they can feel the pressure from those top immortal gates more and more, and they want to break this constraint more and more, which is the best cooperation partner.
This time the test is the common idea of the three immortal gates and the instigation of the supporters behind them. They have already discussed various things. Now that they see that the foreign Taoist alliance is laissez-faire about this matter, they will naturally not hesitate to take decisive action.
Next, the strong men from the three immortal gates began to gather quietly, and their fleets began to gather. Because they were adjacent to the Buddhist sect, their actions were not expected even by the Buddhist sect.
This is the so-called darkness under the lamp. With the domineering and powerful Buddhist sect, the various forces near them have been respectful to them for countless years and never dared to violate them.
Even though they were now embarrassed by the counterattack of the Outer Dao Alliance, from the perspective of the Buddhist sect, they were only worried about some large immortal gates with grievances in the past and the top immortal gates that had not dealt with them in the past.
As for the immortal gates like the Yanxia Holy Land, the Buddhist sect has never suffered losses, and the so-called grievances cannot be mentioned. Naturally, they would not expect that the other party would have the courage to take action at this time.
Next, relying on the advantage of the first mover, the three-party coalition of the Yanxia Holy Land successively broke through several worlds of the Buddhist sect, and in order to keep secrets and not expose their whereabouts, these three forces acted more ruthlessly than the strong men of the Outer Dao Alliance.
Wherever they passed was like a swarm of locusts, leaving nothing behind. The strong men of the Buddhist sect were suppressed one after another, and all the supplies were looted. They were very concerned about some things that the heterodox alliance despised. (End of this chapter)
