Chapter 1236: Chapter 679: Holy Land Taixu MiaoMiao Palace (Thanks to the alliance leader Mentou123) Chapter 1236: Chapter 679: Holy Land Taixu MiaoMiao Palace (Thanks to the alliance leader Mentou123) Time passed quickly, and half a year had gone by.
The anticipated furious army from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace still had not arrived.
Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing, feeling somewhat disappointed, led the Divine Wood Sect’s army away from the battlefield in The Barren.
Because they had received news from Yu Shuji of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild that Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was busy stabilizing their ancestral base at Bright Mirror Mountain, and without a stance from Kong Sang Valley and Sun Bathing Sea, they would definitely not lead the army out of their stronghold.
Under the circumstances where Divine Wood Sect nearly unified the Eastern Wilderness, if Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace did not mobilize completely, they simply could not defeat them.
Golden Wind Ancestor sought help from various commerce associations, hoping they could mediate with Kong Sang Valley and Sun Bathing Sea to form a non-aggression treaty.
Only then would Golden Wind Ancestor dare to lead his army out and come to the Eastern Wilderness for revenge.
Of course, publicly, Golden Wind Ancestor naturally would not show weakness. He expressed, in front of the representatives of the commerce associations, with a face full of anger, that he was not afraid of the two factions but the young ones of the Eastern Wilderness had provoked him too greatly. He asked them to help mediate and give him a chance to flatten the Eastern Wilderness.
After annihilating the Eastern Wilderness, he would then return with his army, and have a fair and square battle with Kong Sang Valley and Sun Bathing Sea.
To this, Baiwu Ancestor felt completely baffled.
What does this have to do with me?
Although there were some resentments between me and Golden Wind in the past, it was never to the extent of having a major confrontation.
To establish the treaty, surely it must involve the three major Nascent Soul Cultivators swearing an oath based on their Dao Heart, only then would it be credible.
Baiwu Ancestor, feeling that these matters had nothing to do with him, decisively refused to take on another oath.
And it goes without saying for Kong Sang Valley; Ku Zhu was even more decisive in his refusal.
After struggling outside for two hundred years, he had finally returned after achieving Nascent Soul Formation. What was that if not to come back, raise his eyebrows, and seek revenge?
When he was stripped of his position as Sect Leader and expelled from his Sect, being hunted by people sent from Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace and forced to flee far away, he had sworn in his heart.
Someday, he would return to reclaim everything he lost here.
Ku Zhu’s refusal was even more decisive than Baiwu’s, even declaring to the entire East Barbarians in front of the emissary from the Commerce Association that whoever allied with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace would be the enemy of Kong Sang Valley.
Such a resolute character of a Sword Cultivator shook the entire East Barbarians!
And as for the major battle between the two factions in the East Barbarians, the various commerce associations naturally would not get involved.
So after fulfilling their responsibilities, they declared neutrality, not participating in the battle between the two factions, but also hoping the battle would not harm their personnel.
These commerce associations, able to travel far and wide, were backed by at least Nascent Soul Powers. The Starry Sky Commerce Guild was even a super large Sect in East Land, second only to the Holy Land, so although they were concerned about the battle between the two factions in the East Barbarians, it was merely out of concern for their business.
Yu Shuji, upon learning this, felt under the pressure from Kong Sang Valley, the old-looking Golden Wind Ancestor was likely no match for Ku Zhu, so he sent disciples to inform Chen Mobai.
It’s worth mentioning that apart from Qu XiuXian, Lou Xuelong, who had refined a Heterodox Golden Core, also came.
This Heterodox Golden Core was still reliant on Chen Mobai, who had slain the Mother Locust, so he took this opportunity to come and express his thanks.
After hearing this news, Chen Mobai felt only a sense of melancholy as if grasping his sword and looking around bewildered.
He had been looking forward to this battle for many years. Finally, with Zhou Shengqing achieving Nascent Soul, and having nurtured three new Core Formation forces, Meng Hong, Luo Yixuan, and Luo Xue’er, he thought to have a spectacular battle, establish the supreme authority of the Eastern Wilderness, and then, riding on the momentum of this great victory, grandly complete the unification of the nineteen nations of the Eastern Wilderness.
Who knew Golden Wind Ancestor would shrink back.
But if Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace did not come, Chen Mobai also could not possibly lead Divine Wood Sect’s army there.
He was not arrogant to that extent; he clearly understood that only by having the advantage of terrain could he possibly defeat Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace.
If they really went to the opponent’s territory, they probably wouldn’t even reach Bright Mirror Mountain.
So although he felt very melancholic, Chen Mobai still expressed his thanks to Yu Shuji’s two disciples, then discussed with Zhou Shengqing and began to retreat.
The Divine Wood Sect’s army, even without fighting here, was increasing its expenditures by twenty thousand everyday.
Of course, all these were recorded. After winning the war, the Sect would verify other merits with Reward Virtue Hall and distribute them collectively.
If Divine Wood Sect was utterly defeated, naturally, these could not be collected.
So the Sect Disciples, in a possible winning situation, would always work extremely hard.
Moreover, if they truly fought with Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace’s army, these contributions would need to be increased.
Now, after half a year without fighting, Divine Wood Sect’s accounts had accrued a debt of 3.6 million Sect contributions.
So hearing that Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace was not coming, Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing decided not to increase the burden on Reward Virtue Hall.
They directly instructed Quan Shanlin to lead the core Sect Members of the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions back first.
Although Giant Tree Ridge had Fu Zongjue and Yue Zutao overseeing the situation, such wartime makeshift arrangements definitely could not last long.
However, before the army disbanded and returned, aside from those core personnel, Chen Mobai still gave another option to the ordinary elders and disciples.
