Chapter 728: Chapter 727: Deciding to Break into the Hidden Sect

"The cleverness and ingenuity of the secular people should indeed not be underestimated. Just with this level of encircling attack, we were unable to hold our position and could only flee."

At the foot of ishan Mountain, in a rather hidden spot, Wang Chunyang arrived and reunited with the four who had previously scattered.

The speaker was Helian Zhan, his face showing a hint of admiration, highly praising and acknowledging the secular people’s intelligence.

It was the first ti Helian Rong had co to the secular world and witnessed the lethality of modern weapons on cultivators. She still felt lingering fear as she said, "It’s indeed terrifying. People from the Hidden Sect always look down on the secular people, but once they step into the secular world and face such powerful attacks, more than ninety percent would be annihilated."

Wang Chunyang silently nodded.

Although the four had been driven away, none of them were injured or even showed a hint of dishevelnt.

Yang Fei said, "What you just saw was rely the most conventional hot weapon attack. Many advanced weapons controlled by powerful secular nations have not even been used yet.

Drones, unmanned combat vehicles, high-frequency sonic waves, tracking missiles, and more have not been used yet.

In my knowledge, today’s cultivators, even the strongest among them, cannot withstand a frontal bombardnt by micro-missiles. Facing dium to large-scale bombardnts at close range would leave them with no escape.

As for the more terrifying nuclear weapons, as long as one is in the blast zone, even those in the Divine Travel Realm cannot escape.

So, thinking that you can do whatever you want in the secular world just because you have a high combat power is impossible.

Of course, for the secular world, martial artists at the peak of the Late-stage Energy Transformation Realm already possess great lethality. Due to their high agility, moving unseen to carry out assassinations and such, they pose a significant threat to secular tycoons.

However, as long as they don’t expose their movents and aren’t tracked, attacks like nuclear strikes are useless against top-notch fighters. Moreover, in densely populated major cities, devastating nuclear strikes wouldn’t be permitted.

In summary, between powerful martial artists and secular tycoons, there exists a mutual threat and balance."

Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang nodded in agreent. Helian Rong, shedding her arrogance, gained a deeper understanding of the outside world.

"But when faced with a large number of martial artists, the secular tycoons of this world cannot compete. As long as the martial artists are not foolish enough to charge head-on into modernized troops but rather disperse individually across the country with organized and purposeful actions, it wouldn’t take a month for the entire country to be thrown into chaos, or even to be secretly controlled," Helian Zhan, agreeing with Yang Fei’s analysis, quickly voiced his thoughts.

Wang Chunyang’s eyes lit up.

Yang Fei nodded and said, "That’s right, looking long-term, the advantage lies with the martial cultivators who possess powerful individual strength."

Helian Zhan chuckled, "That’s why Zhuge Cang and Duanmu Wugou were too hasty. And yes, they were also too foolish."

Wang Chunyang nodded and said, "Indeed, they weren’t just too eager, but too foolish. After sneaking into the secular world, they could have taken their ti instead of trying to control secular power so quickly. With the strength of their families, they only needed to quietly integrate into the secular world, and in no ti, they could have secretly controlled everything."

Hearing this, Helian Zhan shook his head, laughing, "Brother Wang, do we as hidden aristocratic families or sects entering the secular world have to control everything and beco the sovereigns?"

Wang Chunyang was taken aback, looking at Helian Zhan.

Helian Zhan slowly said, "Just as in the Hidden Sect World, no matter which family dominates the Hidden Sect, they inevitably beco targets. Take the Bu Dao Sect as an example.

A dynasty lasts a hundred years, an aristocratic family a thousand. After we enter the secular world, the crucial choice is whether we want to establish our own dynasties, or act as aristocratic families continuing our individual families and sects."

A gleam of realization flashed through Wang Chunyang’s eyes.

He clasped his hands and bowed to Helian Zhan, "I have learned a lot."

Helian Zhan hastily returned the bow, "Brother Wang flatters

too."

Wang Chunyang looked seriously at Helian Zhan and said, "For the sects and aristocratic families of Heaven, the Hidden Sect, and Penglai in the Three Realms, everyone thinks of entering the secular world as a way to dominate this world, which is indeed a cognitive trap.

Actually, the best choice for the forces from the Three Realms after entering this world is to exist as aristocratic families continuing the lineage. Otherwise, whoever establishes a dynasty can only exist temporarily and will soon be replaced, which is detrintal to the continuation of the family or sect."

Helian Zhan laughed, "That’s why I said that the Zhuge and Duanmu families were too hasty and too foolish. If they weren’t in such a rush, relying on the Zhuge family’s secret passages to the outside world to silently build up strength, it wouldn’t be long before they could beco the hidden rulers of Divine Continent."

Listening to their conversation, Yang Fei silently sighed in his heart.

The future world would certainly be as Helian Zhan described, forming a delicate balance of mutual checks and cooperation between oligarchical clans and the authorities.

In this equilibrium developnt, over ti, these forces would slowly beco the real puppeteers behind countries worldwide.

Don’t think that the phrase ’dynasties for a hundred years, aristocratic families for a thousand’ is just an expression.

Since ancient tis, it has been the aristocratic families, not the dynasties, that have endured the longest.

In the feudal era of Divine Continent, at the end of Great Tang, although Huang Chao ostensibly exterminated all aristocratic families, during the nearly thousand-year period of feudal dynasty that followed, many new aristocratic families erged. These families were relatively smarter; they knew how to keep a low profile and stay hidden.

Compared to the aristocratic families of the mundane feudal dynasties of Divine Continent, the current Hidden Sect forces have more advantages.

They are martial artists, among them top-tier powerhouses; such forces are sufficient to ensure safe succession of the family or sect when they enter the world.

Of course, if you think the term ’aristocratic family’ is unpleasant, you can call them capitalists or tycoon groups instead.

"It’s not that the Zhuge and Duanmu families are too foolish, but that they have underestimated the people of the mundane world. If they weren’t worried about us contesting with them, even pouring out their entire forces would still allow them slowly to suppress the Qin Family’s opposing forces and achieve unification over Divine Continent," Helian Zhan said.

Several people nodded silently.

Including Yang Fei, who did not deny this point.

Although Qin Yanyang was temporarily leading a force to confront their adversaries head-on, if external factors did not co into play, and without the addition of other forces, the combined might of all the experts from the Zhuge and Duanmu families would overwhelmingly suppress Qin Yanyang’s faction.

"Father, discussing this has no practical significance. What should we do now? Should we return to the Hidden Sect and start an all-out war with them to determine the victor, or should we continue to stay in the mundane world and watch?" Helian Rong shifted the topic as she looked towards her father.

Yang Fei nodded, then said, "I promised my wife I’d help guard this gateway, and now it has fallen; we need to find a way to notify her."

"Has it fallen?" Helian Zhan asked with a smile.

Wang Chunyang again showed his supre confidence and said lightly, "Although we can’t directly confront that firepower, with the forces stationed on this mountain, Brother Helian and I are still capable of handling them."

Yang Fei was startled, but quickly cald down.

Earlier, although they had fled, it wasn’t in disarray; however, standing their ground against the enemy’s firepower would have been the most foolish act.

But now the tables were turned; they were in the dark, the enemies in the open. Leaving Helian Rong aside, if the three of them joined forces, they could definitely break through and wipe out the troops stationed on the mountaintop one by one.

"There’s no need. Even if we retake control, the enemy would send even stronger forces for reinforcent," Yang Fei imdiately rejected the idea from the two others.

Helian Zhan slowly nodded, "Exactly, so all we need to do is stay nearby and watch in secret. Duanmu Gong has been gone for a long ti yet no one has co out from there; if I’m not mistaken, the Zhuge family has mobilized en masse, joining other forces to attack our three families."

Wang Chunyang said, "Exactly, if I were them, since they’ve decided to act, they must strive for speed—the faster, the better."

"Let’s wait for the ti it takes to drink a pot of tea. If no one cos out by then, let’s head back. Now that the great forces of the Hidden Sect are divided into two factions, this battle should be resolved within the Hidden Sect itself. The sooner it’s stabilized, the better it is for the future developnt of Divine Continent," Helian Zhan said.

Wang Chunyang nodded, greatly agreeing with this.

Yang Fei’s eyes brightened.

In that case, he would have to go in as well.

With internal conflict breaking out within the Hidden Sect, guarding this passageway temporarily isn’t important and has minimal impact on Qin Yanyang.

But he could take advantage of the Duanmu family’s internal vulnerability to rescue Tong Yunshu.

Soon, the ti it takes to drink a pot of tea arrived.

Helian Zhan made a decisive call, "Let’s go, it should be as we guessed. The Zhuge family is likely vulnerable right now."

Wang Chunyang imdiately stood up.

After all, if the other side really did go to besiege the three families, the position of the Langya Wang Family would be the most dangerous, definitely becoming the first target of the siege.
