Chapter 1356 700: Next Steps (3)
Bai Xiaochun listened quietly, without asking any questions.
She continued: "If war breaks out, we actually have only one option, which is to fight the Spiritual Stream Sect. After all, the four Major Sects are located on the tributary in the following order: Blood, Spirit, Abyss, Pill. The one closest to us is the Spirit Stream Sect.
"If we indeed start fighting, then the Blood Flow Sect is confident of victory. But that doesn't mean the Spirit Stream Sect should be underestimated. They are good at hiding their resources and have abundant reserves. Although we will suffer great losses, ultimately we will destroy the Spirit Stream Sect. However, by then we will have to deal with the rise of the Profound Stream Sect!
"Even if we achieve victory against them, there won't be many survivors. If all sects eventually suffer heavy casualties, then there will be no hope of having enough strength to take over the Tianhe Court. Any chance of rising to a higher position will be crushed." Song Junwan frowned. So far, she was revealing information that ordinary Dharma Protectors could never access. Only the high leadership of the Blood Sect knew these things.
Yan Xiaobao's heart trembled. Having come to the Blood Flow Sect, he became very familiar with their strength and savagery, and determined that if war broke out, the Spiritual Sect would no longer be suitable for them. He could only imagine what it would be like to see so many faces he knew filled with blood, unable to open his eyes again.
"This war will result in the eradication of the Spiritual Sect, with the Blood Sect suffering severe losses. The fact is, we don't actually wish for such a war to occur. If we can prevent it and maintain the full strength of the Blood Flow Sect, then we can easily clear out the Deep Water Sect and the Wanliu Sect. In this way, we will be more confident in maintaining the strength needed to defeat the Tianhe Court!" At this moment, Song Junwan's eyes shone with a mysterious light.
"Our biggest concern is: what if, when the Blood Flow Sect finally withdraws from the Sky River Court, the Spiritual Flow Sect suddenly allies with the Sky River Court? Then we will definitely be eliminated!
"When it comes to matters affecting the entire sect, any promises, even oaths sworn to heaven, cannot be convincing!
"Therefore, after extensive discussions, the Clan Leader decided to send a diplomatic mission. If the Spirit Stream Sect agrees, then we will guarantee not to fight them. The Spiritual Sect will not be eliminated, and the Blood Sect will not suffer significant casualties!" Hearing these words from Song Junwan caused Yan Xiaobao's heart to tremble. As far as he was concerned, the best outcome was for there to be no war between the two sects at all.
"However, the agreement will involve the Blood Flow Sect establishing a massive Spell Formation in the Spiritual Flow Sect portion of the Heavenly River. This spell formation will seal their sect for a thousand years!
"During that thousand years, anyone can enter, but no one can leave. The disciples of the Spirit Stream Sect will not be able to enter Eastwood Continent, and the Heavenspan River portion of the Spirit Stream Sect will be somewhat wasted. Their spiritual power will grow weaker and weaker. However, it can only last for a mere thousand years. After that, the Blood Sect will be in a stable position in the midstream section, and will lift the seal.
"This is the only situation we can trust Spirit Creek Sect, and it's the only way to prevent war between our two nations. Not a single person in the Spiritual sect will die, and the Blood sect will surely succeed in rising to a new level!" When Song Junwan finished explaining everything to Yan Xiaobao, she was almost breathless.
