Perhaps the real target is Taihe Sect?
"Master, our people are all prepared. Relying on the Mountain Gate Formation, enough..."
The second disciple was reporting in a low voice. His implication was clear: ng Yu had embarked on a long-distance campaign, but still had to contend with the stubborn resistance of Taihe Sect. So, just right, activate the Mountain Gate Formation and let ng Yu and his n attack for a few months to see if he has the ti.
Myriad Gold Pavilion and Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall were both his enemies. It was said that the Nascent Soul Masters of Myriad Gold Pavilion had already rushed to Eternal Night Palace to support Master Mu in resisting ng Yu, and their envoys were also persuading other sects, suggesting that now, with the northwest in great turmoil, it was the perfect ti for them to expand. They must not allow Moon-Watching Sect to grow stronger — they are rely ornantal; whoever contributed the most would beco another Eternal Night Palace in the northwest...
Master Tianyue glanced at the second disciple. The cleverness and capability that he had once admired now filled him with revulsion.
During a ti of life and death for everyone, you're showing off your cleverness?
The envoy had returned, bringing ng Yu's demands.
He gave Taihe Sect six hours to choose whether to be an enemy or a friend.
To be a friend, Taihe Sect must provide five Golden Core practitioners and thirty at the Foundation Establishnt level, all bound by restrictions, to join him in the campaign against Cool Breeze Mountain. At the sa ti, ng Yu promised that Taihe Sect's people would not be cannon fodder!
The condition was simple yet brutal. The enemy ca with only twelve Flying Boats!
Such insulting terms, not even Eternal Night Palace would dare to exert such pressure on Taihe Palace!
After all, Taihe Sect still had a Nascent Soul and twenty-one Golden Cores within the mountain gate, and the Mountain Protection Array had been reinforced over thousands of years!
"Master, if we do not erge, what can he do to us?"
The second disciple raised an eyebrow. He had always been in business with Myriad Gold Pavilion, and they had just sent a ssage via Flying Sword, urging him to persuade the Sect Leader that as long as they could hold back ng Yu, they would gain the true friendship of Myriad Gold Pavilion.
He didn't believe that ng Yu could possibly breach the Mountain Gate Formation; he even wanted to lure ng Yu into attacking the gate.
...
On ng Yu's side, everyone onboard the Flying Boat was busy.
Many armchair generals would beco flustered on the battlefield, even scaring themselves to death, so much so that in ancient tis, leading troops with bravery was enough.
ng Yu brought out the elites of Moon-Watching Sect to train them.
Being able to participate in sect extermination and observing Golden Core Nascent Soul battles offered rare experiences. Bu Shixian excelled in combat with a keen sense for the battlefield, while Hu Qingquan was skilled in logistics; understanding Golden Core battles would do no harm.
And other elites of Moon-Watching Sect would also benefit greatly, even accumulating experience amidst chaos.
The thing about war is, the mont before it starts, you don't even know whether your actions will be wise or foolish!
You might be a tiger entering a flock of sheep or a sheep challenging a pack of wolves!
On Eternal Night Palace's end, the situation was stagnant. Myriad Gold Pavilion was looking for opportunities, even hiding near Sleepless City, waiting to assassinate ng Yu and others as they erged.
The sects of the northwest were hesitant, with various clandestine activities occurring in the background.
Moreover, no one knew if there were powers like Blood Shadow Ancestor hidden among the common folk.
So, if one punch doesn't work, you launch a hundred!
Now, his arrangents were full of loopholes. The Western Wastes were weak, Sleepless City had been drained, the army before Eternal Night Palace hesitated, and he was leading over a hundred Golden Cores on a tens of thousands of miles campaign in the opposite direction, all just because soone had a sharp tongue and he wanted to kill their entire family!
Four critical points, none of which had ford synergy, surrounded by enemies waiting to pounce!
"There is no room for bargaining. This is your chance to pick a side, friend or foe, in the blink of an eye!"
...
In the Ascension List.
An old man, accompanied by Master Tianyue, arrived in the small town.
True Monarch Youyun, the Supre Elder of Taihe Sect, was 502 years old, and Master Tianyue was his disciple. It was inconvenient to talk outside, so the Ascension List was a suitable place.
"Please take a seat."
ng Yu, who had reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishnt, was still concealing his cultivation, dressed in white, calmly making tea for the two visitors.
"That's the condition, unable to be changed. I am going to annihilate Cool Breeze Mountain this ti and, incidentally, take a stroll in the northwest to establish authority by killing. The first stop is Taihe Sect — it's just your bad luck."
His deanor was exceedingly calm, causing a Nascent Soul Master and a Golden Core Master to look at each other quizzically.
"Young Master ng, by doing this, where do you put the face of Taihe Sect?"
True Monarch Youyun sat in front of ng Yu with a cold laugh, "Regardless of anything else, I am a Nascent Soul, and with Taihe Sect's thirty Golden Cores, how many people are you prepared to lose?"
The old man was a bit embarrassed; even at its most formidable, the Eternal Night Palace had never been this disrespectful to Taihe Sect.
"If they are friends, we will share the veins and spirit fields of the Cool Breeze Mountain; if they are enemies, once the battle starts, not even chickens or dogs will be spared."
ng Yu looked fearlessly at the Nascent Soul True Sage in front of him, "I am a very cautious person, but I am also soone who dares to bet everything. I even dared to leave Sleepless City, so what do you think I would be afraid of?"
Many people have a misconception: they think you have to be very strong before you can make a move, otherwise others will gang up and attack. But in reality, the boss doesn't need to control more than half of the power; as long as you can give the second-in-command a good beating, the remainder—third, fourth, Old Wang, and so on—beco the most loyal dogs.
Just like before, when the seven sects of the northwest joined forces, they surely could have obliterated Eternal Night Palace, yet, with its three Nascent Souls, it suppressed everything!
Master Tianyue's forehead vein throbbed with anger, but True Monarch Youyun fell into deep thought.
What does your destruction have to do with you?
"Can you ensure equal treatnt?"
"Previously, I have done my best to avoid casualties among my subordinates, even those Qi Refinent Practitioners. You have also seen my character. As for those from the Taihe Sect who fall into my hands, I will not treat them as cannon fodder; the only difference is that they'll only get half of the spoils."
ng Yu replied solemnly.
"How about we make a bet?"
"How should we bet?"
"We shall have a fight. If you win, Taihe Sect will accept your terms; if you lose, we will present spirit stones and spirit beasts as a recompense and not participate in the battle, how about that?"
As a Nascent Soul True Monarch, Youyun had his pride, but as the Supre Elder of the Taihe Sect, he understood that this was the mont of survival or extinction for the sect.
The rise and fall of the tribes in the Minor World often hinge on a single thought from the leader; victors take everything, while the losers beco dust. And now, who knows if among those twelve Flying Boats there might still be a few Nascent Souls?
Yes, ng Yu considered the fog of war and stayed huddled up in Sleepless City with two hundred Golden Cores all this ti, but others were even more cowardly. No one knew what ng Yu brought this ti in the Flying Boat.
With Divinity Transformation and Golden Cores, there must be Nascent Souls, just hidden in the dark or plotting sothing.
And moreover... ng Yu personally made a move, what does that imply?
He holds a winning hand!
So, does Taihe Sect dare to wager the lives of its entire sect on whether ng Yu is a good citizen?
The unknown is the most terrifying thing. ng Yu fears unknown enemies, but many enemies fear the unknown strength ng Yu hides even more.
Throughout history, how many strong castles and fortresses, with nurous soldiers and horses, opened their gates and surrendered to a small enemy force; gold, silver, and won were left for the taking.
For no other reason, the enemy said the sa thing as ng Yu.
Once the siege begins, not even chickens or dogs will be spared!
...
In the Ascension List, within the small town.
The Little Fox wagged her tail, along with Bai Hu, as they watched the forthcoming battle.
However, the ancestor's tail was hidden under her skirt; too old-fashioned.
As a Foundation Establishnt, she had no chance to be part of the fight to kill ng Yu, but more than once, she saw ng Yu die heroically under the siege of the ancestor, her two masters, and Lan Qiong.
All she could do was serve tea, deliver water, and help gather ng Yu's corpse for burial.
"Ancestor, is True Monarch Youyun your opponent?"
"He is not; he can't beat , and of course, can't beat ng Yu either."
"Then why does he want to fight this battle?"
The Little Fox asked with so confusion, and then the ancestor slapped her hard.
"If ng Yu asked for you to be his eighteenth concubine, I'd say, 'Beat , and I'll send you to him for soup!'"
