Chapter 1242 - 577: Evolution Conference
Guan Maocai’s words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the minds of the few present.
"Instead of dealing with Yangshan Liang Yuan, you want to go against the Spiritual Ability Sect and Water God Sect?"
"What’s the reasoning?" Shu Zhanyue asked curiously.
Xia Yutian couldn’t help but ask, "Teacher Guan, what’s your strategy?"
The others did not speak, but they all stared at Guan Maocai, waiting for his explanation.
Guan Maocai smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Yangshan Liang Yuan seems weak, yet the Three Great Sects attacked Yangshan twice, both times suffering heavy losses without gaining any benefit."
"The first time, Liang Yuan’s main attribute hadn’t even reached 100 points, yet he could sweep through Han Tai and others."
"And in just one short month, not only has he reached the level of 100 points, but he has also refined a Dark Attribute Floating Island."
"With the Spatial Floating Island of the Yangshan Space King, Yangshan now has two Floating Islands."
"Given time, they will grow rapidly sooner or later."
Autumn Priest Wu Qiuyue asked, "Teacher Guan, you also said he needs time, so why don’t we eliminate him before he becomes a threat?"
Winter Priest Wu Dongdong echoed, "Qiuyue’s idea is good, I think so too."
No one paid attention to Wu Dongdong, as everyone present knew this Winter Priest had always been a sycophant of the Autumn Priest.
Clearly, as a high-ranking member of the Earth Mother Sect, what kind of woman couldn’t he obtain?
Yet he insisted on being a lackey, wholeheartedly fawning over Wu Qiuyue.
The men present didn’t think much of him in their hearts.
However, Wu Dongdong’s superpower is unique; his ability is a rare Ice Attribute Superpower, greatly suppressing the Water God Sect.
In addition, he has some kinship ties with Shi Lianhai, which is why he can serve as the Winter Priest.
Shi Lianhai glanced at his useless distant relative and said nothing.
Considering the familial relationship, he had helped him a lot.
However, as the Earth Mother Sect grows larger, everything should become more standardized.
If this relative is hopelessly incompetent, he can’t be bothered to care for him anymore.
At this moment, Guan Maocai laughed and said, "If we could eliminate him, don’t you think we would have done it already? Why can’t this Liang Yuan be taken down even now?"
"Haven’t you thought that maybe this Liang Yuan isn’t as simple as you imagine?"
"Of course, that’s just one point; my true intention isn’t there."
Guan Maocai’s eyes gleamed with wisdom and he smiled, saying, "If we kill Liang Yuan and destroy Yangshan, we would have to divide Yangshan’s resources with the Spiritual Ability Sect and Water God Sect. How much would we have left in our hands?"
"But if Yangshan seriously damages the Water God Sect or the Spiritual Ability Sect, no matter which sect perishes, it would make a significant difference for us."
"What’s the difference?"
The others were thinking, and Wu Qiuyue asked directly.
"Yangshan is located in the New District, which is too far from Guangfu, and its terrain is inferior to Guangfu. By next summer, when the ice and snow melt, the accumulated snow might have already submerged it."
"But Guangfu is different. Our base is in Guangfu, yet there are the Water God Sect, Spiritual Ability Sect, and the military forces surrounding us."
"If we don’t consolidate our base, why rush to expand outward?"
"If we can eliminate the Water God Sect and the Spiritual Ability Sect, the benefits to us would be greater."
"Our base would expand many times over, and our population would multiply several times."
"At that time, we would no longer need to worry about anyone else sleeping soundly beside our bed."
Upon hearing these words, the eyes of the crowd gradually brightened.
Indeed, compared to eliminating Yangshan Liang Yuan, destroying the Water God Sect and Spiritual Ability Sect seems to have a much higher cost-effectiveness.
"Teacher Guan’s plan is truly brilliant," Shu Zhanyue suddenly laughed, clapping his hands in admiration.
Li Chunhua also said, "Teacher Guan is truly the strategist of our Earth Mother Sect. With this plan, we can completely establish our Earth Mother Sect’s position in Guangfu."
Xia Yutian immediately said, "Teacher Guan, shall I go contact Yangshan Liang Yuan?"
Guan Maocai chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "No hurry, sometimes doing things is like playing chess, having the first move doesn’t guarantee a win."
"Hastily setting up a front cannon might not necessarily kill the opponent’s pawn."
"Let’s first tidy up Cangfu Mountain and clean up the mess left by Lin Tianci and others."
"Just wait, the Water God Sect and the Spiritual Ability Sect won’t be able to sit still."
Everyone laughed aloud.
---
In the depths of the forest on Mide Mountain, numerous village-like buildings are scattered across the mountains.
A huge underground hall has been carved into the mountain body, with incandescent lamps arranged on the walls, illuminating the vast hall.
The hall is decorated in a minimalist style, with layers of stone slabs covering the floor and stone huts adjoining one another.
However, the overall style still exudes a rough, primitive feeling.
In the very center of the hall stands a giant stone statue.
The stone statue depicts a dagger, with a statue of a blood-colored leech-like mutant creature coiled around it.
Water droplets are carved below, and the entire statue stands in the center of a small pool.
The surroundings are an open square, with neatly arranged stone pillars and various priestly items like skulls placed in an orderly fashion.
This is the core place of the Spiritual Ability Sect, the Blood Locust Square.
The population of the Spiritual Ability Sect is the smallest among the Guangfu Three Great Sects.
Their beliefs differ completely from those of the other two sects.
All members of the Spiritual Ability Sect respect the survival creed of nature’s law of the jungle: if you’re strong, you’re right.
Those who survive under such jungle rules are destined to be extremely self-centered individuals.
And such a group of individuals is naturally doomed not to grow and expand.
This is also the main reason for their repeated failures in competing for the Floating Island.
The huge square before them is the priest arena of the Spiritual Ability Sect.
Also known as the animal fighting ring.
To join the Spiritual Ability Sect, newcomers must undergo three levels of blood baptism.
This fighting ring is one of them.
Among the Three Great Sects, in terms of individual combat power, the followers of the Spiritual Ability Sect are indeed very powerful.
However, precisely because their individual strength is formidable, they fail to form coordinated large-scale combat.
In terms of overall action capability, the Spiritual Ability Sect is considered the worst.
At this moment, in the headquarters of the Spiritual Ability Sect, a three-story building with cave-like halls.
The Sect Leader of the Spiritual Ability Sect, Huo Guodong, sat with a sullen face.
Sitting across from him are the four chairmen of the Evolution Conference.
The Evolution Conference originally had seven members: Zeng Guoqiang, Zhang Mi, Li Shengnan, Zhou Tiandu, Ye Zhixuan, Han Tianzong, and Fu Yuanhang.
Among them, Zeng Guoqiang was killed by Liang Yuan during the first invasion of Yangshan.
Since then, the Spiritual Ability Sect and Yangshan have become mortal enemies.
On the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth, Zhang Mi was defeated by Liang Yuan while fighting for the heart core, later tore open the shadow world, created chaos, and disappeared.
Now that he’s sitting here, it shows he also escaped from that island.
As for Li Shengnan and Zhou Tiandu, they both returned with the news of their deaths yesterday, having fallen at the hands of Liang Yuan from Yangshan.
The remaining chairmen of the Evolution Conference sitting here are Zhang Mi, Ye Zhixuan, Han Tianzong, and Fu Yuanhang.
This is the source of Huo Guodong’s burning anger.
"Evolution Conference, seven chairmen, now only four of you remain alive!"
"Is Yangshan’s Liang Yuan really so hard to kill?"
Huo Guodong asked angrily.
Ye Zhixuan replied: "It seems he’s skilled, Zeng Guoqiang’s superpower wasn’t weak, capable of adapting to various environments, ordinary superpower users simply aren’t his match."
"But since he couldn’t escape and died in Yangshan, it shows the power of this Liang Yuan from Yangshan."
Han Tianzong remained silent, while Fu Yuanhang glanced at Zhang Mi and said: "Zhang Mi, among us, only you have encountered this Yangshan leader."
"Logically, you should be the most familiar with him. What do you think of his power?"
Zhang Mi, though sitting there, could almost be subconsciously ignored if he didn’t speak.
He’s enveloped in a black shadow, with a very low presence.
He solemnly said: "Very strong!"
"How strong?" Fu Yuanhang immediately asked.
"Stronger than everyone present."
Everyone at the scene frowned slightly, though they said nothing, it was clear they were somewhat unconvinced.
They are the upper echelon of the Spiritual Ability Sect, strong individuals who have emerged from a slew of contenders.
Naturally, they were unconvinced by someone they had never fought with.
Huo Guodong was cautious, asking: "Zhang Mi, I have also read your reports before. You mentioned that before this person entered the Floating Island, his main attribute reached over 90 points, and he seems to be a Spirit Ability User?"
"Then how did he escape from the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth?"
Zhang Mi solemnly said: "I don’t understand this either, this person has many secrets."
"Moreover, when he returned to Yangshan after a month and a half, he revealed a terrifying attribute of 100 points, which probably means he has obtained the heart core of the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth."
"The black dragon on that Floating Island has likely died at his hands."
"It’s not unjust for Zhou Tiandu and Li Shengnan to fall at his hands."
Zhang Mi gave his evaluation.
Huo Guodong’s brows furrowed, he solemnly said: "So, this little Yangshan now controls two Floating Islands?"
"Li Qinghua controls the Spatial Floating Island, while Liang holds a Dark Attribute Floating Island."
"Plus, he personally has 100 points of main attribute combat power, Yangshan has really grown prosperous."
"Are we going to let the severe losses of our Spiritual Ability Sect go just like this?"
The few attendees immediately started discussing.
"Now that our Spiritual Ability Sect has lost twice in seizing the Floating Islands, everyone in Guangfu isn’t sure how to view us."
"This is very detrimental to our Spiritual Ability Sect’s propagation."
"Moreover, both the Water God Sect and the Earth Mother Sect hold a Floating Island, only our Spiritual Ability Sect lacks one."
"If this continues, we might completely fall out of the Three Great Sects, and in the future, Guangfu might only have two sects left."
As he listened to the discussion, Huo Guodong felt increasingly troubled.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, a sudden urgent report came from outside.
"Sect Leader, dear chairmen, Deputy Corps Leader of the Water God Sect’s Pure Water Holy Corps, Zheng Yunchao requests an audience with the Sect Leader!"
