Chapter 1355 700: Next Steps (2)
"The position of Middle Peak Bloodline Master has belonged to the Song Family for many years. But this time, Xue Mei has reached Nine Tide Reaches and thinks she can steal it.
"If I fail, then the power of the Song Family will be weakened in the Sect, and I can't let that happen." Having finished her explanation, Song Junwan looked at Bai Xiaochun.
Yan Xiaobao took a deep breath. Then, after a moment of thought, he asked, "Why are we really going to the Spirit Creek Sect?"
Song Junwan hesitated for a moment. Before this, she would never reveal this secret. But now, after a moment of consideration, she waved her hand, activating the spell formation of the cave, sealing the two of them alone. Then she began to explain. Song Junwan looked at Yan Xiaobao and said, "You and I will not be the only ones going on the diplomatic mission to Spirit Creek Sect with the Clan Leader. There will be others. But, Middle Peak will be in charge.
"The mission has two purposes, one minor and one major. Let's start with the second purpose. We want to see Bai Xiaochun with our own eyes!" Song Junwan's eyes turned icy as she spoke Bai Xiaochun's name.
Yan Xiaobao's feeling of tension intensified, especially when he saw that cold expression. From how she looked at him, it seemed her murderous intent had risen to an explosive level.
He gritted his teeth. He said, the killing intent surging, "Back at Fallen Sword Abyss, I and Yan Xiaobao stirred up the biggest hostility! My hatred for him is deeply hidden in the sea! I refuse to live under the same sky with him. In any situation, you better not let me meet him, or I will do everything in my power to kill him!"
Of course, he really felt like he was at the end of his rope in this situation and hoped Song Junwan wouldn't be offended.
Song Junwan nodded. She sighed and said, "Yan Xiaobao stole Quill's Heavenly String Foundation, destroying all the plans of the Song Family. To seize this chance, the Clan paid a heavy price. We bought the secrets of the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Base from Ancestor Wu Jixian, all with the purpose of making Quill the Middle Peak Bloodline Master!
"But now, it's too late. Quill only reached eight Tide Reaches and can't compete with Xue Mei. Now, I am the only one in the Bloodline Master scene with a chance!" From this moment on, she seemed more eager than ever to kill Spirit Creek Sect's Bai Xiaochun.
Yan Xiaobao blinked, then began to nod deeply, as if he agreed with her words.
"Yes, that's right." He said, feeling proud of himself. "If it were not for Yan Xiaobao, Qu'er would certainly reach the Heavenly Dao Foundation!" He couldn't help imagining Song Qu in the scene, hearing him proclaim the glorious expression. "Uh.
Song Junwan continued softly, "But the main reason for executing the diplomatic mission is to see whether a real war will break out between the Blood Flow Sect and the Spirit Sect!"
As she spoke, it seemed almost possible to envision the end of the impending war.
Yan Xiaobao's scalp tingled fiercely, feeling as if it might explode. Although he had always known that war was likely to erupt between the Blood Flow Sect and the Spirit Sect, he had not wanted it to come to pass. War is a brutal affair, and if it truly occurs, many would die.
"The Abyss Sect and Pill Sect have already been fighting for some time. The Pill Sect is weak and has appealed to the Blood Flow Sect for help.... Meanwhile, the Abyss Sect and Spirit Sect are quite likely engaged in secret negotiations for an alliance..... If they do so, then we might also!
"The most intriguing thing is, the Abyss Sect has also hinted a past alliance.... But, it seems that at the last moment, it was destined to collapse right from the start. From all this, we can see how much planning and scheming were done. Eventually, these sects can only trust and rely on themselves." Despite Song Junwan's gaze seeming somewhat cynical, her inner spirit was icy cold.
Bai Xiaochun initially said nothing. This wasn't the first time he'd heard about the war between the Profound and Pill Stream Sects. From the rumors stirring in the sect, the war had reached a very brutal degree, with countless casualties on both sides.
"It's hard to see where the true battlefield lies. Although 'Abyss Sect' and 'Pill Sect' are fighting against each other, from what we know, they might eventually end up as allies. It's hard to pinpoint who your true enemy is. Identifying the true enemy's identity is the most critical aspect of warfare. Considering the importance of this issue, Stream Sect went mad. Nightcrypt... the war is not too far away. It might break out at any moment.
"Besides, waiting for the time, waiting for the outbreak, until the battlelines are drawn, might not necessarily be the best decision. If time passes, the other two sects might form an alliance. Even all three might. They might unite to defeat the Blood Flow Sect. After all, we are the strongest sect! As the saying goes, once you start riding the tiger, it's hard to get off, so we need to seize the moment when the real war breaks out and take advantage!" Song Junwan sighed, looking at Yan Xiaobao.
Yan Xiaobao smiled bitterly. From the Blood Flow Sect's perspective, it's the right move. If they let things move too far without taking action, the other three sects might form an alliance. In that case, the Blood Flow Sect would be at a clear disadvantage and might even suffer painful losses.
This time, war will happen! At this point, Song Junwan continued to expound on matters concerning the Midstream Tianhe Pavilion. For the most part, her explanation matched the explanation given by Spirit Creek Sect Leader Zheng Yuandong.
