The Blue Dragon Elder and the others came to the Sacred Lord's study room. The Sacred Lord looked at them and said, "How is it? What's the result of this attack? "
The Blue Dragon Elder shook his head with a gloomy expression and said, "Sacred Lord, there's no hope left. It's almost impossible for us to take the Chicken Heart Ridge. The Sea Exploring Sect attaches great importance to the Chicken Heart Ridge. This time, although our people managed to break into the Chicken Heart Ridge, they were still forced out. The Sea Exploring Sect seems to have made preparations. Moreover, this method can only be used once. It's absolutely impossible to use it more than once."
The Sacred Lord nodded and said, "I can already guess that the Sea Exploring Sect attaches great importance to the Chicken Heart Ridge. So tell me, what do you plan to do next?"
Cyan Dragon Elder said in a muffled voice, "His Majesty, we can't take back the defensive line in Chicken Heart Ridge; however, we can build a defensive line 1,500 miles to the north of the defensive line in Chicken Heart Ridge. Wolf Teeth Mountain Range is different from Chicken Heart Ridge as there are many branches there. Because it's our hinterland, I mean we can build a defensive line in Wolf Teeth Mountain Range. This time, we don't need to build a completely connected defensive line like we did in Chicken Heart Ridge; instead, we need to build a common defensive line with those branches as the base. Additionally, we will set up some small branches in the area between Wolf Teeth Mountain Range and Chicken Heart Ridge for the purpose of monitoring Sea Exploring Sect. All the ordinary disciples there will evacuate, leaving only a few of them and some human slaves to farm there. We'll treat that area as a buffer zone."
The Sacred Lord nodded, then he looked at the other Elders and said, "Do you all have the same idea?"
The Vermillion Bird Elder said, "Sacred Lord, it seems like this is the only way. At the same time, I suggest that we implement the method of encouraging fertility in the Holy Gate. The fertility of our Demon Race is stronger than that of the Human Race. As long as we encourage fertility, our population will increase once again. With an increase in population, the strength of our disciples will also increase. When the time comes, we can slowly deal with the Sea Exploring Sect."
The Black Tortoise Elder also said, "Sacred Lord, it seems like it's impossible to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect in a short time. His opinion is the same as the Blue Dragon Elder's. First, we have to defend and then slowly accumulate strength. When the time comes, we can deal with them."
The White Tiger Elder nodded and said, "Right, Sacred Lord. Since we can't deal with them in a short time, then we have to think of other ways. At the same time, we have to plan for the long term."
The Sacred Lord nodded and said, "Since all of you have said so, then it seems like we can only do so. Alright, then let's do it this way. Pass down the order to build a defensive line in the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range. Remember, this defensive line must be able to block the attack of the Sea Exploring Sect. If it can't, then we're finished. At that time, our Holy Gate will have to go all out against the Sea Exploring Sect."
The Blue Dragon Elder and the others nodded. They understood the Sacred Lord's meaning because they knew the situation. The Wolf Ivory Mountain Range was their last line of defense. If they let the enemy pass through the mountain range, then it would be a flat plain. At that time, they would be at a disadvantage against the Sea Exploring Sect. This was also the reason why the Sacred Lord said that they would have to go all out against the Sea Exploring Sect.
The Sacred Lord took a deep breath and said, "Besides establishing a defensive line in the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range, there's one more thing we need to do. That is to break the barrier of the Sea Exploring Sect and kill our way to the Sword Spirit Boundary. As long as we can break the barrier, we can kill our way to the Sea Exploring Sect. Then the people of the Sea Exploring Sect will naturally retreat. We can even spread the flames of war to the Sea Exploring Sect. At that time, we'll be able to solve the problem of the Sea Exploring Sect once and for all."
The Blue Dragon Elder and the others nodded. The Sacred Lord then waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's all for now. You can leave. Right, pass down the order to select some people from the disciples and add them to the main forces. The number of people in the Guard Army has been expanded to four thousand years. Over the years, our Sacred Gate has accumulated a lot of resources. It's time to take them out. If we don't, then the Sacred Gate will be in danger."
As soon as the Blue Dragon Elder and the others heard the Sacred Lord, they nodded. They also knew that the Sacred Gate was in a very dangerous situation. If they can't stop the Sea Exploring Sect or force them out of the Demon Spirit Boundary, then the Sacred Gate would face the danger of extinction.
This wasn't an alarmist talk. One must know that the Sacred Gate now didn't only have the Sea Exploring Sect as an enemy, but also the Yi Sect. If the Yi Sect really attacked them together with the Sea Exploring Sect, then they would be in big trouble.
Although there was a truce agreement between them and the Yi Sect, it was just a piece of paper. Although both sides had a certain tacit understanding that there wouldn't be any war within ten years, it was just a tacit understanding or an unwritten agreement. The binding force of such a thing was very limited. Even if the agreement was written on paper, they wouldn't respect it, let alone this kind of unwritten agreement. As long as the Yi Sect saw a good opportunity, they wouldn't give up this opportunity.
Until now, the people of the Sacred Gate hadn't thought of cooperating with the people of the Yi Sect. In fact, it was very difficult for them to cooperate. They belonged to the kind of different ideas. Sometimes, different ideas were more terrible than different races. Ideas were a kind of difference in thinking, and different races were just different races. If two intelligent races had the same idea, then they could become friends. However, it was difficult for two people of the same race with different ideas to become friends.
It was precisely because of this that the people of the Sacred Gate felt the danger. They felt that things were already developing in a direction that was unfavorable to them, so now they had begun to prepare. They had also begun to take out their trump cards.
The Sacred Lord was still a very decisive person. The Sacred Gate had indeed accumulated a lot of good things. These things, even when they were fighting with the Yi Sect, they didn't take them out because the Sacred Lord was very clear that even if they took out these things, it was impossible to destroy the Yi Sect. But now, he took them out because he knew that if he didn't take them out now, then there would be no meaning in taking them out in the future.
The Blue Dragon Elder also understood this truth, so they didn't oppose the Sacred Lord's words. After discussing with the Sacred Lord, they left and began to take action. They selected people to join the main battle team. At the same time, they encouraged the ordinary battle teams and began to strengthen their training. The most important thing was that the Wolf Ivory Mountain defensive line had officially begun to be established.
The Wolf Ivory Mountain defensive line that they were building now was completely different from the Chicken Heart Ridge defensive line. The Chicken Heart Ridge defensive line was like the Great Wall, it was a complete defensive line. As for the Wolf Ivory Mountain defensive line, they intended to establish a defensive line with the branches as the core. This was equivalent to building a defensive line with some cities as the core. These branches were connected with each other, but there would be some empty areas in between. However, these empty areas would also be guarded, but it wouldn't be like the Chicken Heart Ridge defensive line where there was no empty area and they were all connected together.
And such actions of the Sacred Gate naturally couldn't be hidden from Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai also quickly discovered that some of the small branches of the Sacred Gate had withdrawn. Even if they didn't withdraw, there were very few disciples left. Instead, there were a lot of human slaves. These human slaves were farming at the area behind the Chicken Heart Ridge defensive line, while the disciples of the Sacred Gate were very few. The army of the Sacred Gate was also nowhere to be seen.
In order to understand the actions of the Sacred Gate, Zhao Hai deliberately sent some of the Sacred Gate's disciples who had previously surrendered to the Sea Exploring Sect to investigate the situation.
Those Sacred Gate's disciples who had surrendered to the Sea Exploring Sect no longer wanted to return to the Sacred Gate, because the Sea Exploring Sect was really good to them, treating them like ordinary disciples of the human race. After joining the Sea Exploring Sect, their strength had been enhanced. Now, even if they were asked to return to the Sacred Gate, they wouldn't go back.
Zhao Hai was very clear about why this was the case. This was because Beast Cultivators were also Cultivators. Whether they were Human Cultivators or Beast Cultivators, they were all Cultivators. As long as one was a Cultivator, there was no one who didn't want to go further and pursue the Dao of Immortality. The disciples of the Holy Gates saw hope in the Sea Exploring Sect, they saw that they could go further. Naturally, they didn't want to return.
It was also because of this that Zhao Hai was very assured about these people. And these people didn't disappoint him. They sneaked into the north of the Chicken Heart Ridge's defensive line and quickly inquired about the news, then returned to the Chicken Heart Ridge's defensive line.
As soon as Zhao Hai heard that they had returned, he immediately called them to his study room. Then, he looked at them and said, "How was the investigation? Tell me about it. "
The leader was a member of the Fox Clan. His name was Hu Jingfeng. He cupped his fists towards Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master, we have already inquired about it. The Sacred Gate's people shouldn't attack us in the short term. They have built another defensive line in the Wolf Fang Mountain Range. At the same time, most of the people in the Sacred Gate's branch north of the Chicken Heart Ridge were transferred away, leaving only a small number of people behind. They also left a large number of human slaves to farm there and provide supplies for the Sacred Gate."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "In that case, the Sacred Gate's people want to entrench themselves in a long-term confrontation with us?"
Hu Jingfeng said in a deep voice, "Yes, it seems so. Sect Master, the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range is different from the Chicken Heart Ridge. The altitude of the Chicken Heart Ridge isn't very high, and the terrain is relatively flat. However, the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range is different. The Wolf Ivory Mountain Range is very high, and the highest peak is the Wolf Ivory Peak, which is more than six thousand meters above sea level. The terrain is very steep, and there are Holy Gate's branches on the main mountain tops. These branches are the main branches of the Holy Gate, so if they really build a defensive line there, it will be more troublesome."
