On the other side, the "Sky Light Alliance", a friendship organization formed by seventeen Sky-level sects, also received a reply from Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal. Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had tactfully declined the Alliance's invitation. It could be said that the members of the Alliance had completely expected this outcome … How could a sect whose initial level had been directly set at Sky-level third class take them seriously? The sect's foundation alone was already on a completely different level.
If the General Office of Strategic Deception was allowed to continue to develop, it would be a real hidden danger. Everyone knew how capable Great Death-Courting Senior Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal was as the sect leader of a sect. Of all the forums and websites in the country, only the cultivation forum that Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal ran was able to gradually turn a profit every year and maximize its economic efficiency.
Even without the joint investment of these companies, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal alone had the ability to establish a sect.
Now that they had received this investment, the General Office of Strategic Deception was like a tiger that had grown wings.
Lu Youming stared at Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's reply and was lost in deep thought.
Without knowing which sect the other party was a direct descendant of, it was impossible for them to rashly suppress the other party. Furthermore, judging from his reply, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's words were quite tactful, which indirectly proved that while the other party hadn't joined the Alliance, he didn't want to become enemies with the Alliance.
As the president of the Alliance, once Lu Youming decided to exclude the other party, it would be the same as rejecting good intentions and declaring war.
This was the most troublesome part of the whole matter.
On one hand, the Alliance wanted to curb the power of Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's new sect and prevent it from developing too quickly, giving the other old sects some breathing room. On the other hand, the Alliance couldn't take the initiative to stir up trouble, which would put the Alliance in danger if they didn't know the ins and outs.
In recent years, the Three Great Sky-level sects, Immortal Palm Tree Sect, Fighting Horse Sect and Myriad Beasts Sect, which hadn't joined the Alliance, were already dissatisfied with the establishment of the Alliance.
If they took advantage of this opportunity to join forces with Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal's new sect, the Office of Strategic Deception, and incite the other Sky-level sects that weren't even fifth class, the Alliance was bound to fall into a situation where it would be difficult to recover … What kind of situation would that be?
The countryside surrounding the city!!!
What a wise and mighty great man's strategy!
And now, the reason why the Immortal Palm Tree Sect and the others had yet to make a move was largely because they didn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble and stir up trouble.
When a sect reached the pinnacle, the sect would often pay more attention to prestige and reputation. The party that initiated trouble would often become the subject of ridicule.
Some of the sect leaders present were unhappy. "Are we really helpless against this Office of Strategic Deception?"
"There's no other way for now." Lu Youming shook his head. "We can't just attack without knowing the details."
"I don't think so."
At this time, a sect master waved his hand. This sect master was called Sun Hanzhe, and the Radish King Sect he founded specialized in researching all kinds of demon insects and spirit insects. In recent years, the market for dried insects as medicine had been quite good, and the Radish King Sect had used this opportunity to rise to become a fifth rank Sky sect a few years ago and join the Alliance.
"What is Sect Master Sun's opinion?" Lu Youming remembered that just yesterday, this Sect Master Sun was still of the conservative faction. What he advocated was the idea of cowering down and observing first. But today, he had suddenly changed his attitude.
It was very obvious that this Sect Master Sun had received some expert's guidance …
This Sect Master Sun smiled smugly. "Yesterday, a senior suddenly contacted my sect and expressed his willingness to lend our Alliance a helping hand in probing the ins and outs of this Office of Strategic Deception."
"Since he wants to lend the Alliance a helping hand, why did he contact you? Shouldn't he contact President Lu directly?" someone asked.
"Don't worry, brothers, listen to me slowly." Sect Master Sun waved his hand without a care in the world. "It's like this: this senior's method of communication is a little special. The other party directly possessed the body of a flying mantis spirit insect that my sect raises and talked to me. At the time, I was inspecting the situation at the breeding farm. "
"Entered the body of an insect?"
"That's right." Sect Leader Sun nodded his head: "I think, this should be the senior's way of concealing his true identity, so he used this level of magic. He pretended to use an insect to convey his opinion, and told me to explain the purpose of his visit to the president at today's meeting. "
Pretended to use an insect?
Hearing this, President Lu narrowed his eyes. To be elected president of the Alliance, President Lu naturally wasn't an ordinary person. His vision, knowledge and connections were much more profound than most of the people present. Otherwise, even if he became president, he wouldn't be able to convince the masses.
"President, do you have any idea?" someone asked hurriedly when he saw President Lu's expression.
"It's the Soul Insect Spell …" Lu Youming quickly replied. "This Soul Insect Spell is one of the secret techniques of the Dragon clan, which was famous for its insect mastery back then. But according to historical records, the Dragon clan was exterminated because they offended their enemies, and the entire clan ceased to exist. When Clan Leader Long Jiangnan of the Dragon clan was captured, he was still writing a novel based on the deeds of the Dragon clan … "
When Lu Youming said this, many of the sect leaders present suddenly realized what was going on.
The eyes of an old man with grizzled hair and beard lit up. "I remember this! I attended an auction many years ago, and the original Dragon Clan novel written by Clan Leader Long Jiangnan was sold for hundreds of millions of yuan. Rumor has it that the secret of the Soul Insect Spell was recorded in it. "
"Mm." Lu Youming said, "There's always been a saying in the circle that the reason the Dragon clan was exterminated back then was because Long Jiangnan was too slow in updating his novels. It was precisely because Long Jiangnan, the leader of the Dragon Clan, was too slow in updating his novels that he was denounced by all sorts of bigwigs and readers … However, there was no proof of this until now. Now that the Soul Insect Spell has resurfaced, it's very likely that this senior's identity is related to the Dragon clan. "
Lu Youming pondered this carefully, then stared at Sun Hanzhe, the sect leader of Radish King Sect, and said, "What is this senior's condition?"
"This senior's condition is very simple," Sect Leader Sun replied.
"As long as we secretly set up the transmission crystal prepared by this senior on the day of the Office of Strategic Deception's founding conference, we can leave everything else to this senior. Apart from that, this senior also hopes that our Alliance can take action and suppress a school. "
"Which university is it?"
"It's not a university, it's a high school."
"High … high school? But there are only Foundation Establishment students there? "
"President Lu should have heard of No. 60 High School, which has been on the news a lot recently, right?"
"I have …"
"That senior said that bullying Foundation Establishment students is his hobby."
