"Why are there so many losses?" Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes. He was well-read and could be said to be an all-rounder. He was also well-versed in military matters. It was normal for two armies to suffer slightly more losses in a battle, but if the losses were more than half, then it could already be considered a bloody battle.
But if the losses were more than two-thirds, then this was no longer a bloody battle, but a battle to the death.
In one or two battles, it was not strange for them to fight to the death when they encountered strong opponents or were surrounded. But if they suffered such high losses over a long period of time, then it was completely abnormal.
If this ratio was used to calculate the losses of the entire coalition army, then it could even be said that the entire coalition army had collapsed on the spot without needing to fight.
But according to what he saw along the way, although the battles between the two sides were bloodier and more intense, overall, they were only small skirmishes. They were still at the stage where they continued to exert their strength. Both sides were using their trump cards and reviving their foundation, but this all required time.
In other words, it was impossible for such a shocking ratio of casualties to occur at this stage. One look and one could tell that there was a problem.
"There's nothing we can do. These few batches of disciples that have been transferred over have all suffered heavy casualties. You know the headquarters of the coalition army, some of the most dangerous missions are given to ordinary king-level sects like us to handle!" the Lord of Flames said with a bitter smile.
If the original coalition army was still under the control of the Divine Kings, then now the headquarters of the coalition army was already under the control of the Quasi-emperors. While the king-level sects were naturally naturally awe-inspiring on normal days, and any of their Divine Kings could shake the world when they were sent out, they could not be compared to the Quasi-emperors at all.
They had to listen to the orders of those old Quasi-emperors, and they had no right to speak at all.
Ye Xiwen was not stupid, and very quickly figured out the problem. Obviously, they were being used as cannon fodder.
The king-level sects were usually awe-inspiring, and they even had Divine Kings to oversee them. Who would dare to use them as cannon fodder? But it was different now. Under the righteous cause of fighting against the heavenly race, everyone had to obey the deployment of the higher-ups of the coalition army, and there was no way they could resist. Otherwise, just the crime of offending the Sky-reaching clan would be too much to bear, and even a king-level sect could collapse.
And in this aspect, the sects that had produced Quasi-emperors, or the lineages of the Emperor Lords, had a natural advantage, and no one could be compared to them.
If there was a dangerous mission, they could only do it.
Although there was the righteousness of fighting against the Tian Clan, this kind of scheming and scheming was everywhere and had never stopped. After all, they were old enemies who had fought for millions of years, tens of millions of years. How could it be that easy to put down their grudges at this time?
"Junior Brother, you should know that we, the Hidden Valley, have always believed in independence and not relying on anyone!" The Master of Flames said helplessly.
Ye Xiwen naturally understood what he meant. Normally, he could rely on his neutral policy to benefit from both sides. Even an Emperor's inheritance wouldn't casually offend a King's Sect. However, this was a huge problem at this time.
Being impartial meant that you wouldn't offend anyone, but at the same time, it also meant that no one would speak up for you. If you died, you would die in vain.
In the two battles against the heavens, many sects and races had mysteriously disappeared like this. Entire clans and sects had been annihilated by the Heavenly Race.
In this chaotic world, not having a strong backer was a huge problem in itself.
"Senior Brother, the problem you mentioned is indeed very serious, but I've thought about it!" Ye Xiwen nodded and said, "Release my words. The normal mission, fighting against the Tian Clan, is the unshirkable responsibility of the Hidden Valley. However, if anyone wants to use us as cannon fodder again, then I will let them understand that the Hidden Valley isn't that easy to mess with!"
"That's great!" The Flame Sovereign nodded. The consecutive batches of elite disciples that had been transferred over had suffered shocking losses. To a certain extent, it had dampened the enthusiasm of those disciples. Being transferred over to the headquarters meant death. Who would want to come over in the future?
This also made him very distressed, but there was no way to solve it. He was a Divine King Late. Although he seemed to have a good status, he had no right to speak in the alliance headquarters at this time.
However, the situation was different if Ye Xiwen stepped forward. Ye Xiwen, who had just defeated the Heavenly Monster Three Elders, was now in the limelight. Naturally, Ye Xiwen's words were more useful than the Master of Flames.
"I would like to ask, do you know the whereabouts of the Ni Di now?" Ye Xiwen asked.
"As far as I know, there isn't. Now that the masters have returned and taken over the headquarters, the first thing they did was to prioritize the search for the Inverse Emperor Clan. However, after a few decades, there hasn't been any news at all!" the Lord of Flames said.
Those Quasi-emperors were naturally not fools. They were also very clear that although the Tian Clan army was strong, they couldn't do anything. At worst, it would just be a stalemate. However, if one day, the Ni Di became an Emperor, then everything would be too late. In the situation where there was no Emperor King, the alliance's current line of defense would collapse instantly.
There was only half a step between a Quasi-emperor and an Emperor King, but this half step was like heaven and earth. No one could compete with it.
Ye Xiwen sighed slightly. With the protection of those Tian Clan experts who were sealed, it would be difficult to find the whereabouts of the Ni Di. Even if they found it, it would be difficult to succeed.
The Ni Di, who had the hope of becoming an Emperor, would definitely be under strict protection.
"Junior Brother, you have just come out of seclusion. Are you going to take charge of many things in the Hidden Alliance now?" The Master of Flames asked.
"No, there are many things in the Secret Alliance. With the help of all the senior brothers, I am naturally very relieved. My priority now is to focus on my cultivation. Other things are actually trivial!" Ye Xiwen asked. "That's right.
"That's true, Junior Brother is different from us. For us, on the road of cultivation, it is harder to go further. However, Junior Brother's strength is extraordinary, and you have not reached the bottleneck yet. Naturally, you should put all your energy into cultivation. In the future, when you achieve the Great Way, we can also benefit from it!" The Master of Flames nodded and said with a look of approval.
After witnessing Ye Xiwen's cultivation progress by leaps and bounds every once in a while, even someone as calm as him couldn't help but have a crazy thought in his heart. Perhaps, Ye Xiwen really has the possibility of further attaining the Great Way. At that time, the entire Hidden Valley would follow Ye Xiwen to the top. This was definitely not a joke.
Ye Xiwen smiled faintly and didn't say much. Others might not know, but how could he not know?
How could he not have a bottleneck in cultivation? It was just that he constantly had fortuitous encounters that raised his cultivation. That was why it seemed like there were no bottlenecks in the eyes of others.
He didn't know when he would stop. In fact, even he was a little looking forward to it. To be able to reach a level that no one had ever reached before, and no one would be able to do so in the future. That would be his greatest wish.
"I hope that Senior Brother will keep what I am going to say next a secret!" Ye Xiwen said seriously.
"Junior Brother, please speak!" The Master of Flames said.
"I have already cultivated to the peak of the Divine King Realm and have touched the peak of this realm. The next step is to attract the Boundary Emperor Tribulation. Only after passing the Boundary Emperor Tribulation will I be able to improve further!" Ye Xiwen said.
The Master of Flames' expression immediately turned solemn. To Divine Kings like them, the Boundary Emperor Tribulation was no different from a test of life and death.
Many Divine Kings had never advanced further in their entire lives. It wasn't just because their cultivation and comprehension of realms had not reached that level, but also because they didn't dare to attract the Boundary Emperor Tribulation.
That was a terrifying Heaven's Tribulation that was a hundred times more terrifying than the most terrifying God's Tribulation. He didn't even dare to imagine how terrifying it would be.
However, at the same time, he also understood that if he wanted to improve his cultivation, he had to take this step.
He finally understood what Ye Xiwen was going to say. If Ye Xiwen was going to undergo the Boundary Emperor Tribulation, it would be a big deal.
If it was in the Emperor's Inheritance, it might not be a big deal. However, for an ordinary sect like them, it was a big deal. In this matter, they wouldn't be able to help at all.
"Junior Brother, I have been courageous and diligent all the way. Admittedly, I have overcome many obstacles in cultivation, and it can be said that everything has been smooth sailing. However, I have also offended a lot of people because of this. Normally, they wouldn't be able to stir up any waves even if they had the courage to do so. But now, if they get the news that I am crossing the heavenly tribulation and they find the place where I am crossing the heavenly tribulation, then it is likely to lead to a monstrous disaster!" "Moreover, the Sky Clan is also a huge hidden danger. If they find out about this, they will definitely come and kill me at all costs!"
As he spoke, Ye Xiwen told the Lord of Flames about how he had just killed Great Freedom Celestial.
The Lord of Flames couldn't help but hold his forehead. Although he knew that Ye Xiwen was used to causing trouble, he still underestimated Ye Xiwen's ability to cause trouble. Although Ye Xiwen was the passive party, he was like a magnet that attracted those powerful people one by one.
In the past, he had uprooted the Devil Eagle Clan. Later, he had obtained the powerful Emperor's Inheritance of the Original Demon Clan. Now, he had killed the clone of Great Freedom Celestial, who was almost the strongest person below the Emperor.
Although it was a self-defense counterattack, he still had to admit that Ye Xiwen's ability to cause trouble wasn't ordinary.
He could completely imagine that once these enemies knew that Ye Xiwen was going to undergo the Boundary Emperor Tribulation, the things that would happen next would be completely out of their control.
Not counting the Sky Clan, just the various allied forces alone would probably take the risk to make a move. No wonder even Ye Xiwen didn't dare to easily attract the Boundary Emperor Tribulation.
