In the north of the Demon Spirit World, there were two very important mountain ranges. One was called the Golden Jade Mountain, and the other was called the White Saint Mountain. There was a place where the Golden Jade Mountain and the White Saint Mountain converged. There was a place where the highest peak of all the mountain ranges in the entire Demon Spirit World was located. It was called the Cloud Mist Peak by the people of the Demon Spirit World.
The Cloud Mist Peak, as the name implied, was very high. The peak of the peak was in the clouds. The Golden Jade Mountain and the White Saint Mountain were also centered on it, forming a 'human' shape. The place where the 'human' shape intersected was where the Cloud Mist Peak was located.
In the past, this was the territory of the Holy Gate, but now it was not. Now, the Cloud Mist Peak was where the headquarters of the Yi Sect was located. It was the core area of the Yi Sect.
The management structure of the Yi Sect was similar to that of the Holy Gate. The highest manager of the Holy Gate was the Holy Lord, and the highest manager of the Yi Sect was the Sect Master. Under the Holy Lord, there were four Holy Elders, and under the Sect Master, there were five Elders. These five Elders were named after the five forms: Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Snake, and Crane. These five Elders cared about their status in the sect, which was equivalent to the status of the four Holy Elders in the Holy Gate.
Under the five Elders, there were twelve Elders. These twelve Elders were named: Flood Dragon, Ferocious Tiger, Giant Ape, Flying Horse, Divine Hou, Rooster, Sky Eagle, Overbearing Bear, Spirit Snake, Flash Hawk, Clever Swallow, and other twelve Elders.
The status of these twelve Elders was the same as the twelve Zodiac Elders of the Holy Gate. They formed the core management of the Yi Sect. These Elders, unless there was a major war, otherwise, they would not easily leave the Cloud Mist Peak.
However, although the headquarters of the Yi Sect was here on the Cloud Mist Peak, their headquarters was not on the top of the Cloud Mist Peak, but in the middle of the mountain. There, they dug through the mountain, forming a huge city in the mountain. This was the headquarters of the Yi Sect.
There were a lot of entrances to this mountain city, but the biggest one was about 20 meters tall and 15 meters wide. There were two huge Divine Beasts carved on the entrance. These two Divine Beasts weren't any beasts that could be seen in the Monster Spirit Realm, they were Divine Beasts called Cloud Mist Beasts.
It was said that the Cloud Mist Beast had lived in the Cloud Mist Mountain since ancient times. At that time, the Cloud Mist Peak was the resting place of the Divine Beast. No one dared to come close to this place. Later on, for unknown reasons, the Divine Beast left. Therefore, the Cloud Mist Peak became the territory of the Holy Gate. At that time, this place was the control center of the Holy Gate. Later on, the people here rebelled and established the Yi Sect. In order to show their difference with the Holy Gate, they worshipped the Cloud Mist Beast and regarded it as their God.
This huge mountain city was divided into more than a hundred floors. The highest floors were where the Sect Master and the elders of the Yi Sect lived and worked.
Right now, in a large study on the highest floor of Yunwu Mountain City, the Sect Master of the Yi Sect was sitting in his seat with a calm expression. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He wasn't very tall, but he looked very strong. He had a pair of red phoenix eyes, a square face, and a slightly red face. He didn't have a smile on his face. His whole person gave people a feeling of dignity without being angry.
In the study, there were a lot of chairs. Now, there were a lot of people sitting on the chairs. There were five people sitting in front. These five people were the Five Forms Elders of the Yi Sect, Elder Long, Elder Hu, Elder Leopard, Elder Snake, and Elder Crane.
Behind them, there were twelve people. These twelve people were the Twelve Forms Elders. However, the atmosphere in the whole room wasn't very good. No one spoke. Everyone sat there quietly. The atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
After a while, the Sect Master of the Yi Sect opened his mouth and said, "I think everyone knows about the current situation of the Holy Gate. They have fought with the Sea Exploring Sect several times, but in the end, they all ended in failure. They have no choice but to retreat to the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range. We are very clear about the situation of the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range. It won't be easy for the Sea Exploring Sect to take over the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range. I just want to know what's going on with this Sea Exploring Sect. Why didn't we receive any news before they entered the Demon Spirit World? Could it be that the spies we placed in the Holy Gate are all useless? They can't even find out about this news? "
Several elders were silent for a moment. Then, Elder Long opened his mouth and said, "Sect Master, this matter is my fault. Originally, the people of the Holy Gate did send back news. They said that the Holy Gate had recently increased their troops to a secret realm. It felt a little strange, but it seems that the people of the Holy Gate were very secretive and didn't allow others to inquire about it. Although I also felt strange at that time, I thought that the other party had found something in that secret realm and went to dig it out. In order to ensure the safety of those disciples, I didn't let them pursue it. I didn't expect that they would go through that secret realm to attack the Sword Spirit World. This is my dereliction of duty, please punish me, Sect Master." After speaking, Elder Long stood up and bowed to the Sect Master.
The Sect Master looked at Elder Long and said in a deep voice, "Good. Elder Long, it's good that you know. This matter is indeed your fault. After the meeting is over, you will be punished to stay behind closed doors for a month. Reflect on it properly." Elder Long responded and sat down.
In fact, the punishment of staying behind closed doors was only symbolic for people like Elder Long. It couldn't be considered a substantial punishment at all. However, there was no other way. Even the Sect Master couldn't casually punish an elder like Elder Long.
After punishing Elder Long, the Sect Master looked at the others and said, "What is everyone's opinion about the current situation of the Holy Gate? Should we go out and deal with the Holy Gate now? "
All the elders paused for a moment. Then, one of them said, "Sect Master, I think it's not appropriate for us to take action now because the Holy Gate is dealing with the people of the Sword Spirit World. Although we have a great enmity with the Holy Gate, the people of the Sword Spirit World are considered outsiders. If we send troops to deal with the Holy Gate now, it will only benefit the people of the Sea Exploration Sect. This won't benefit us at all.
We won't be able to do anything to the Holy Gate. "The elder who spoke was Elder Ma. His words made the other elders nod. However, one of them immediately said," I think we should send troops. We are mortal enemies with the Holy Gate, but we don't have any enmity with the Sea Exploration Sect. Even if we help the Holy Gate defeat the Sea Exploration Sect, the people of the Holy Gate wouldn't thank us. Therefore, I think that we should deal with the Holy Gate. However, we can't just deal with the Holy Gate like this. We should contact the Sea Exploration Sect first and see their attitude towards us before making a decision. "
The one who spoke was Elder Leopard. His words made the other elders nod. Even the Sect Master nodded. However, the Sect Master frowned and said, "Although we haven't heard about the Sea Exploration Sect before, according to the information we have, the Sea Exploration Sect is very powerful. This time, there are about 600 million disciples in the Demon Spirit World. Moreover, they were able to occupy a territory in the sea before dispatching troops to attack the South Sea. After taking the South Sea in one breath, they fought against the people of the Holy Gate at the Chicken Heart Ridge. In the end, they managed to take the Chicken Heart Ridge. I think everyone should be very clear about the situation at the Chicken Heart Ridge. When the Sea Exploration Sect was fighting against the Holy Gate, the people of the Holy Gate had already reinforced the Chicken Heart Ridge. Even so, the Sea Exploration Sect still managed to take the Chicken Heart Ridge. From this point, we can see that the Sea Exploration Sect is very strong. If we cooperate with the Sea Exploration Sect, wouldn't it be like asking a tiger for its skin? What if the Sea Exploration Sect bites back at us? "
When everyone heard the Sect Master's words, they nodded. This was also what they were worried about. If they cooperated with the Sea Exploring Sect, then the Sea Exploring Sect would turn around and bite them. That would be very troublesome.
Elder Long thought for a moment and then said, "Sect Master, in my opinion, we might as well follow the original plan. We'll sit on the fence and not help either side. Now that the Sea Exploration Sect is defending the Chicken Heart Ridge while the Holy Gate has retreated to the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range. Both sides are in danger and I'm afraid it won't be easy for the Sea Exploration Sect to take the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range. Both sides will certainly face each other for a long time. Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that both sides won't be idle. The war will happen sooner or later. If we participate now, let's not talk about whether we can take down the Holy Gate or not. Even if we can take down the Holy Gate, our losses won't be small while the Sea Exploration Sect's losses will be reduced. In this case, if the Sea Exploration Sect turns hostile to us, then we will be in a bitter battle. This is very disadvantageous for us. Therefore, I suggest that we don't participate in this war. But this doesn't mean that we won't do anything. I think we should contact the Sea Exploration Sect and show them some goodwill. Then we'll see how the Sea Exploration Sect reacts."
As soon as Elder Long's words came out, everyone nodded. If they sit on the fence now, then they might be able to reap the benefits in the future. But if they participate in the war now, then they might just be making a wedding dress for others. This was absolutely unacceptable. Therefore, Elder Long's method was a good one.
The Sect Master nodded and said, "This method is good. We can really contact the Sea Exploration Sect and show them some goodwill. We can even make some transactions with them. I heard that their energy cannons are very powerful, even more powerful than the energy cannons of the Holy Gate. In this regard, we have been lagging behind the Holy Gate. If we can get these energy cannons from the Sea Exploration Sect, then it will definitely be a good thing for us."
As soon as everyone heard the Sect Master's words, their eyes lit up. One must know that their Yi Sect was still far behind the Holy Gate in terms of refining arrays and artifacts. If they could really trade with the people of the Sea Exploring Sect, then they would be able to get the artifacts and arrays they wanted. This was definitely a great thing for them.
