TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1504: Chapter 584: Taking Over the Nine Provinces_3 Chapter 1504: Chapter 584: Taking Over the Nine Provinces_3 Even Elder Brother Ding had perished on the battlefield.

Having paid such a heavy toll and borne such a great price, at this juncture, could retreat be as simple as declaring it?

Whoever retreated would be betraying the deceased fellow disciples, betraying the ancestral masters of generations past, betraying the entirety of the Nine Provinces.

Whoever dared suggest withdrawal would be branded a traitor, and would become an enemy of mine, Huang Yuanxiu!”

After Lu Yuan had spoken, Huang Yuanxiu immediately echoed his sentiments with vigor.

Judging by his stern tone, it was clear he was dead serious.

Should Fu Baopu truly dare to call for a retreat, he might well come to blows with him on the spot.

The School Leaders of the Five Sects from the Western Domain, each with relatively modest strength, did not dare to speak in front of their seniors.

But by their expressions, it was obvious that they agreed with continuing the fight.

This was understandable.

Given the current strength of the Five Sects from the Western Domain, if the reinforcements from the other territories withdrew, they alone, even with the newly acknowledged Taiping Dao as their big brother, would struggle to fend off Qing Immortal Sect’s assault.

At that point, Taiping Dao might remain unaffected, possibly even able to continue controlling territories in the Central and Eastern Regions and holding onto their spoils of war.

But it would be difficult for the Five Sects from the Western Domain.

Without the help of other forces, Taiping Dao would naturally prioritize its own preservation, only offering aid to the Western Domain’s Five Sects if they had any strength to spare.

Theoretically, for Taiping Dao to secure the Central and Eastern Territories, it would suffice to assign an Earth Immortal to guard each location.

They should be able to divert another Earth Immortal to help in the Western Domain.

However, the current momentum of Qing Immortal Sect showed signs of a turn from adversity to prosperity; after being suppressed to the limit, the sect’s Qi Luck began to surge.

Now only Yang Jihua had become an Earth Immortal, but if this dragged on for several decades or centuries, the other two True Persons of Qing Immortal Sect in seclusion might also break through to Earth Immortals.

Should that come to pass, the number of Earth Immortals in Qing Immortal Sect would swiftly return to four.

These four Earth Immortals need only leave one to defend their Eastern Territory homeland while the other three could participate in the Western Domain battlefield.

By then, facing one against three, even if Taiping Dao sent an Earth Immortal as reinforcement, they would likely struggle to withstand the enemy’s onslaught.

And if Taiping Dao could not hold firm, the Western Domain’s Five Sects, with their few remaining strong figures, would stand even less chance against Qing Immortal Sect after its rise.

Should such a scenario unfold, the demise of the Five Sects from the Western Domain would likely be a matter of hours or days.

If not for this dire situation they faced, they certainly would not have so readily conceded, setting aside their pride and humbling themselves before Taiping Dao.

All was driven by the imperative of survival.

Thus, after having paid such a price, they were naturally extremely dissatisfied with Yuchan Tao’s inclination to retreat.

But compared to everyone present, they were of lesser status and the least powerful, without any right to speak.

So, they could only express their displeasure with their eyes, daring not to voice it.

But even without speaking, the combined influence of these sects’ spokesmen, despite being relatively weak in strength and Cultivation, still exerted substantial pressure on Fu Baopu due to their past renown and mutual affection.

Seeing that Taiping Dao, Heavenly River Sect, and the Western Domain’s Five Sects, one after another, were resolved to continue the battle, facing such a prevailing sentiment.

The hesitant Earth Immortal from Wind and Thunder Path, Lu Luoxian, finally spoke out.

“Friend Fu, since all the fellow Daoists wish to engage in another battle, and the current situation, although slightly disadvantageous on the Western Domain battlefield, has not led to a complete routing, and the front line is still being held.

Furthermore, with our arrival as reinforcements, our strength on the Western Domain battlefield has been restored, ample enough for another battle with Qing Immortal Sect.

Moreover, the main force of this next fight will be led by Alliance Leader Lu’s Taiping Dao, with the rest of us serving as flanking forces to distract the enemy on secondary battlefields.

Such tasks are not too arduous.

Even if unsuccessful, we can retain our strength without suffering too great a loss.

Therefore, there is indeed no need to give up.

Ɲονցօ.сο

Let us all make one more effort to fight those Qing traitors.

If, in the end, we are truly unable to hold our ground, it will not be too late to withdraw then.

What do you think, Daoist friend?”

Lu Luoxian also represented the stance of Wind and Thunder Path, indicating a willingness to keep fighting.

The usual stance of Wind and Thunder Path had been like Yuchan Tao’s, generally reluctant to get involved with affairs in the Changqing Domain.

Their participation this time had been spurred by the hope of annihilating Qing Immortal Sect, ending a grudge of seventy thousand years in one fell swoop.

Now, after such a devastating loss in a single battle and still not victorious,

Wind and Thunder Path should have also chosen to withdraw according to past practice.

But who would have thought that Wind and Thunder Path’s Qi Luck would have risen in recent years, bringing forth two Earth Immortals to their fold?

Now that Gu Huaiyuan had returned to their stronghold, with an Earth Immortal like him in place, even if injured, he could still deter the surrounding areas and secure Wind and Thunder Path’s foundations.

Yuchan Tao did not enjoy such circumstances, which is why Fu Baopu did not want to risk further, prioritizing the preservation of strength and wishing to withdraw.

But now, seeing that all the Allies, even the usually aligned Wind and Thunder Path, did not want to retreat but to keep fighting,

confronted by this overwhelming trajectory, Fu Baopu no longer had the heart to isolate himself from the Nine Provinces and thus could not persist in his call for retreat.

In a state of helpless compromise, he could only agree with a nod, “Since none of the Daoist friends wish to retreat, let us continue the fight.

However, I must state frankly: if there is no progress after this war, then Yuchan Tao must withdraw.

At that time, none of the Daoist friends will be allowed to stop me!”

“Agreed!”

Lu Yuan, seeing that everyone had assented to his views, could not help but laugh heartily and promptly responded, “Rest assured, friend Fu.

If we do not prevail in this war and you wish to withdraw, I will not obstruct you.”

Speaking thus, he took a sweeping look around and proclaimed, “Since this Daoist friend has consented to another battle, I now formally issue the decree as the Jiuzhou League Leader: all the Immortal Sects of the Nine Provinces, rise again for the Northern Expedition.

To fight once more against those Changqing traitors!”

“By the Alliance Leader’s command!”

“To fight once more against those Changqing traitors!”

“Northern Expedition!”

All the True Persons and School Leaders present, upon the Alliance Leader’s command, accepted their charge solemnly.

And with that order delivered,

the Nine Provinces commenced another offensive for the Northern Expedition.
