The Holy Lord looked at the Vermillion Bird Elder and sighed, "When you carried out this plan, I felt that it was dangerous and unlikely to succeed. But I still supported you. Do you know why? Because I still have hope. Even if it's only one in ten thousand, I still hope that you can give it a try. Because we can't deal with the Exploration Sea Sect using other methods, we can only use this risky method. "
The Vermillion Bird Elder said in a deep voice, "Holy Lord, you don't need to comfort me. No matter what, I was the one who led people to carry out this plan. If it doesn't succeed, it's my responsibility. Please punish me."
The Holy Lord waved his hand and said, "It's useless to say this now. What's the use of punishing you now? Not only will it not be of any help to us, but it will also affect our morale. If I punish you, I will lose a capable assistant. So, there's no need to talk about the punishment. Although the sacred beast artifact is very important to our Saint Gate, without it, we don't have to be afraid of anyone. Its significance is more of a symbol. What I mean is that we can publicize this matter and let the people in the Saint Gate feel like they have a common enemy. What do you think? "
Upon hearing the Holy Lord's words, Elder Vermilion Bird couldn't help but stare blankly. He really didn't expect the Holy Lord to be so calm. However, after thinking about it, he understood. Although the battle strength of the saint beast tool was very powerful, it wouldn't affect the Holy Gate too much even without the saint beast tool. With the saint beast tool, it wouldn't be able to repel the Exploring Sea Sect's army. After all, even though the consumption of the saint beast tool wasn't high, the consumption during the battle wasn't small. Therefore, although the saint beast tool was very important to the Holy Gate, it was only important. It was still lacking in other aspects.
The ordinary disciples of the Holy Gate might be very interested in the sacred beast tool because the Holy Gate had been paying great attention to the promotion of the sacred beast tool over the years. It wasn't just because of the strength of the sacred beast tool, but more importantly, it was to promote the self-sacrificing elders. The twelve elders sacrificed themselves to refine the sacred beast tool. What kind of feeling was this? This was a great sacrifice for the Holy Gate. How deep were their feelings for the Holy Gate?
The Holy Gate promoted the sacred beast tool because it wanted the disciples to learn from the twelve elders and obey the orders of the Holy Gate. As for the sacred beast tool's position in the hearts of the Holy Gate's upper echelons, it was actually the same thing.
It was precisely because of this that the Holy Lord was so calm after knowing that the sacred beast tool was destroyed. The Holy Lord was very clear that in the face of this world, the use of a few sacred beast tools was really insignificant. So, the Holy Lord was now thinking about how to make the best use of the sacred beast tool.
Many disciples of the Holy Gate were very interested in the sacred beast tool. As long as the Holy Gate made a good announcement, it could completely arouse the hatred of the Holy Gate's disciples towards the Exploration Sea Sect. At that time, they would work harder to fight. This was definitely a good thing for the Holy Gate. As for punishing the Vermillion Bird Elder because of the sacred beast tool, the Holy Lord was even more unwilling to do so. Although the Vermillion Bird Elder was defeated this time, the Holy Lord knew that the Vermillion Bird Elder had done his best. This time's failure wasn't the fault of the battle. The Vermillion Bird Elder didn't make any mistakes in commanding. Therefore, the Holy Lord wasn't prepared to punish the Vermillion Bird Elder.
In fact, there was another important reason, and that was the Firebird Clan that the Vermillion Bird Elder represented. The Firebird Clan could be regarded as a big clan in the Holy Gate. The members of this clan were very powerful and had a large number of members. In addition, the Firebird Clan had long held the position of the Vermillion Bird Elder. Almost every generation of the Firebird Clan's patriarch was the Vermillion Bird Elder. They also controlled the Vermillion Bird Corps. Although the Vermillion Bird Corps suffered heavy losses this time, the Firebird Clan's influence in the Holy Gate was still huge. If the Holy Lord really punished the Vermillion Bird Elder because of this matter, it would arouse the dissatisfaction of the Firebird Clan. In the end, it would cause turmoil in the Holy Gate. This was definitely not what the Holy Lord wanted to see. Now, they were facing two powerful enemies. If there was internal turmoil, it would really be over.
The Vermillion Bird Elder also understood this. He couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, this time he really wanted to ask for forgiveness from the Holy Lord. However, with all these reasons added up, even if the Holy Lord wanted to punish him, he couldn't. He wanted to ask for forgiveness from the Holy Lord, but he couldn't. Therefore, he could only do this.
But now that the Holy Lord asked for his opinion, he had to say it. The Vermillion Bird Elder said, "It's feasible. As long as we publicize it, it will arouse the hatred of everyone in the Holy Gate towards the Sea Exploration Sect. At that time, whether it's the Sea Exploration Sect or the Yi Sect, if they want to deal with us, they will have to face the entire Holy Gate. This is very advantageous for us."
The Holy Lord nodded and said, "I also have the same idea, so you don't have to worry about this matter. Did you go to see the Blue Dragon Elder before you came back? Did he say anything? "
The Vermillion Bird Elder nodded and said, "I've seen the Blue Dragon Elder. He said that we can only go all out against the Sea Exploration Sect. If the Sea Exploration Sect enters the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range, then it would be even more difficult to deal with them. But he also said that we should make some preparations. For example, should we prepare a backup plan?"
When the Holy Lord heard the Vermillion Bird Elder's words, he couldn't help but stare blankly. Then he nodded and said, "These days, I've been thinking about this issue. I'm also thinking about whether we should prepare some backup plans. Now, there are about fifteen secret realms controlled by our Holy Gate. Among them, five are large secret realms, three are medium secret realms, and seven are small secret realms. We usually don't use these secret realms. Although we leave some people to guard the secret realms, the situation there is probably not as good as the secret realm occupied by the Sea Exploration Sect. This is because although the secret realm isn't very big, it produces a lot of things. It's also the first secret realm that we developed. The other secret realms haven't been developed yet, but I think it's time for us to develop those secret realms."
The Vermillion Bird Elder nodded and said, "Holy Lord, I also think that we should make some preparations. Select some disciples and send them to the Mystic Realm, as well as some of our inheritances. However, this must be done in secret. If too many people know about this, then it would have a huge impact on our morale." The Vermillion Bird Elder nodded and said, "Holy Lord, I also think that we should make some preparations.
The Holy Lord nodded. The Vermillion Bird Elder looked at the Holy Lord and said, "Holy Lord, I think that we can contact the Will Sect."
When the Holy Lord heard the Vermillion Bird Elder, he couldn't help but stare. Then he frowned as he looked at the Vermillion Bird Elder and said, "Contact the Will Sect? Why? "
The Vermillion Bird Elder said in a deep voice, "The Will Sect has contacted the Sea Exploring Sect and even made a deal with them. This made us think that they would join forces to deal with us. But looking at the current situation, it doesn't seem to be the case. Although the Will Sect has contacted the Sea Exploring Sect and even made a deal with them, they don't seem to have any intention of cooperating. Otherwise, when the Sea Exploring Sect attacked us and we fought with them in the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range, our internal forces would definitely be empty. Although we have deployed a large number of troops at the border with the Will Sect, if the Will Sect were to attack us with their full strength, we would definitely be defeated. This is an excellent opportunity for the Will Sect, but they haven't taken any action yet. This makes me very puzzled. Now it seems that the Will Sect wants to sit back and reap the benefits. However, I think that we should contact the Will Sect because the strength of the Sea Exploring Sect is beyond our imagination. It's absolutely impossible for the Sea Exploring Sect to come here just for revenge. They must have other ideas.
The Holy Lord thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "This idea is not bad. We can give it a try. Even if we fail, there won't be too much loss for us. If the Yi Sect really attacks us because of our contact with them, then it can only mean that they have long wanted to attack us. I think it's feasible and we can give it a try."
The Vermillion Bird Elder nodded, then said in a deep voice, "The strength of the Exploration Sea Sect is beyond our imagination. I think it should also be beyond the imagination of the Yi Sect. Between two allies, there must be equal strength. If one is incomparably strong and the other is very weak, then the strong person will definitely eat the weak person and not treat him as an ally. The people of the Yi Sect may have originally wanted to let the Exploration Sea Sect and us fight until both sides suffer, then they will appear and clean up the mess. But now, the strength of the Exploration Sea Sect is obviously stronger than they imagined. It's hard to say whether their alliance can still be maintained."
The Holy Lord nodded and said in a deep voice, "Everyone can see the intentions of those people from the Yi Sect. They have joined forces with the Exploration Sea Sect for the sake of benefits. As long as they can deal with the Exploration Sea Sect with us, even if we have to give up some benefits, it's not impossible."
The Vermillion Bird Elder said, "We can talk to the Yi Sect, but we can't show too much weakness. If we show too much weakness, then the people of the Yi Sect will certainly take a mile after taking an inch. Moreover, the focus of our discussion with them this time is not to let them help us deal with the Exploration Sea Sect, but to tell them that the Exploration Sea Sect has entered the Demon Spirit World to deal with the entire Demon Spirit World. We want them to defend the Demon Spirit World with us and deal with the Exploration Sea Sect. Let's see how the Yi Sect will react. If the people of the Yi Sect still don't agree, then there's no need for us to continue the discussion."
The Holy Lord nodded and said, "Good, that's good. We can make two preparations. On the one hand, we can secretly transport people into the Secret Territory. On the other hand, we can contact the Yi Sect and see how they react. According to their reaction, we can deal with it and adjust our strategic layout."
Elder Vermillion Bird nodded his head and said, "Yes, Sect Master. I also have the same idea. However, the people who negotiate must be chosen well. If their status is too low, the people of the Yi Sect won't buy it. Even if they don't know how to talk, it won't work."
The Holy Lord said in a deep voice, "Let Elder Snake go. He's better at talking. Moreover, his status isn't low. It's absolutely appropriate for him to represent our Holy Gate." The Vermillion Bird Elder didn't object. Elder Snake was one of the twelve zodiac elders. Naturally, his status wasn't low. Moreover, he was the most eloquent and quick-witted one among the twelve zodiac elders. Therefore, it was really appropriate for him to go.
The Vermillion Bird Elder said, "Holy Lord, I'll return to the frontlines and have Elder Snake come back. Holy Lord can rest assured. This time, I'll live and die with the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range. I've already made a mistake. My life is no longer mine. I'll do my best to deal with the people of the Sea Exploring Sect. If the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range is really attacked by the Sea Exploring Sect, then I'll fight them to the death."
The Divine Lord looked at the Vermillion Bird Elder, then he sighed and said, "Alright, I won't say anything else. I think all of you are more aware of the importance of the Wolf Ivory Mountain's defensive line than me. What you do will depend on you. Also, the Thunder Hawk Clan might have joined forces with the Sea Exploring Sect. You must be wary of the Thunder Hawk Clan. Their fighting strength isn't weak, you can't let them take advantage of you. Otherwise, it will be troublesome."
The Vermillion Bird Elder nodded and said, "Yes, Holy Master. Don't worry. We have already thought about it. Although the Thunder Hawk Clan is very strong, our army is basically staying underground. They won't have much room to display their abilities underground. We don't have to be afraid of them."
The Holy Lord nodded and said, "It's best to be careful. Our Holy Lord is relying on you all now. If the Sea Exploring Sect breaks through the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range, then it will be really dangerous. The painstaking efforts of countless generations of the Sacred Sect will be ruined."
The Vermillion Bird Elder's expression turned serious. "Please rest assured, Holy Lord. Leave it to us. This time, even if I die, I won't let the people of the Sea Exploring Sect break through the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range." After saying that, he saluted the Holy Lord and turned to leave.
The Holy Lord sighed as he looked at the Vermillion Bird Elder's back. To be honest, he was really lacking in confidence. Their many operations had all failed. Not a single time had they obtained a good result from the Sea Exploring Sect. Under such circumstances, how could he have sufficient confidence to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect? Therefore, even if the Vermillion Bird Elder hadn't said anything, he would have had to prepare a backup plan.
When the Vermillion Bird Elder returned to the defensive line of the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range, news spread from the Sacred Sect. The news said that the Vermillion Bird Elder had brought the Sacred Beast Artifact to deal with the Sea Exploring Sect. The people of the Sea Exploring Sect had schemed and tried to snatch the Sacred Beast Artifact. In order to prevent the Sacred Beast Artifact from falling into the hands of the Sea Exploring Sect, the Vermillion Bird Elder had self-destructed.
Of course, the Holy Gate pushed all the blame onto the Sea Exploration Sect, saying that the Sea Exploration Sect was despicable and shameless, that they had schemed against them, and that they had coveted the holy beast artifact for a long time. In any case, it was all the Sea Exploration Sect's fault. They wanted to incite the Holy Gate's people to hate them.
