Dugu Nuoyan quickly received news of the Dutian Clan's rebellion. The moment he received the news, he suddenly reacted.
"We've fallen into a trap!" Dugu Nuoyan's face was ugly.
"How did we fall into a trap? Shouldn't Ye Tianze be the one having a headache? We can just sit back and reap the benefits." Dugu Moyu was puzzled.
"Wrong, it's all wrong." Dugu Nuoyan said, "We've always been chess pieces. Moreover, we've always been chess pieces at the mercy of two chess players!"
Dugu Moyu was not stupid and said in surprise, "You're saying … we've been used?"
"That's right, we've been used. At first, we were used by Ye Tianze, then … we were used by the person behind the scenes. Right now, it's a crucial moment in the game between the two chess players. It's obvious that the person behind the scenes has the absolute advantage."
Dugu Nuoyan smiled bitterly, "But I don't understand. Ye Tianze clearly has the advantage, so why would he take such a risky move? Perhaps … he wants to lure the snake out of its hole? But taking such a risky move, he might not … "
"Then what do we do now?" Dugu Moyu said, "We're in a dilemma. Why don't we bide our time and not let them use us?"
"No!" Dugu Nuoyan said, "We have to pick a side now. There are two paths to choose from. The first is to raise our arms and rally the people of the Three Great Families and the Three Sects and Seven Schools to support the Dutian Clan. This seems to be the best choice. The second is to take the risk and bet that Ye Tianze will win!"
"The second path … is not safe." Dugu Moyu said, "Once we leave, we'll be sitting in the same boat as Ye Tianze. If his boat capsizes, we'll also be implicated. Right now, the entire Southern Territory is hostile to Tian Nan City. If we get on board, it'll be the same as' helping the tyrant '."
Dugu Nuoyan knew that he had to make a decision now. Because time waited for no one. At this time, he could no longer hesitate.
But this was related to the future of the Dugu Clan. A smart person would definitely be like Dugu Moyu and choose the path ahead. Even if Ye Tianze won in the end, the Dugu Clan wouldn't completely offend Ye Tianze.
However, Dugu Nuoyan knew very well that Ye Tianze wouldn't admit defeat so easily. The person behind the scenes wouldn't think that Ye Tianze would admit defeat so easily either.
From the beginning to the end, his intelligence network did not have any information about the person behind the scenes. In other words, the person behind the scenes had not personally made a move, but had already turned the Southern Territory upside down.
"If he didn't have absolute confidence, Ye Tianze wouldn't have gone this far. That is to say, he might have already predicted that he wouldn't lose … The best result … is that he won't be able to catch the mastermind, and he'll win more than half the battle."
Dugu Nuoyan thought, "Then who lost?"
"That's right, are there no losers?" Dugu Moyu asked.
"There are!" Dugu Nuoyan suddenly stood up, "The losers are us, all the powers in the Southern Territory, so... we must stand together with Ye Tianze!"
"What do you mean by standing together with Ye Tianze, isn't that openly making enemies with everyone in the Southern Territory!" Dugu Moyu didn't dare believe it, "Big brother, this time we are not going against the powers in the Southern Territory, but against everyone in the Southern Territory, including the countless commoners!"
"We can only take the risk. Otherwise, my Dugu Clan will inevitably become a chess piece. If we choose to lose, then we will lose more than half. If we want to win... we have to win the most!" Dugu Nuoyan said, "Pass down the order, no one is to act rashly without my orders."
"What about the Three Sects and Seven Schools, and the other three great families?" Dugu Moyu asked.
"Ignore them!" Dugu Nuoyan said.
Seeing Dugu Moyu dejectedly leave, Dugu Nuoyan suddenly shouted, "Wait, if the major powers send troops to South Sky City, send a few people to secretly follow them. If there are any changes, report to me immediately."
The armies of the great powers began to gather three days later. More than one million people rode on thousands of shuttles and flew towards the Southern Territory.
However, they suddenly stopped when they reached the border between the Southern Territory and South Sky.
"Why did you stop?!" The leader was the vice master of the Cloud Hermit School, a half-step Giant. They had sent all of their forces to attack South Sky City.
The army led the way with a few old antiques at the back. It could be said that they were determined to win.
Thousands of shuttles stopped at one end of the border. The top experts of the major forces walked out one after another.
"Look, look, it's a huge tornado!" The cultivator controlling the shuttles said, "We can't go through. If we get sucked in, all the shuttles will crash into each other and we won't be able to control them."
They looked over and saw a tornado blocking the path of the shuttles. This was the closest path to South Sky City.
It was several hundred meters tall and connected to the sky. Even the clouds on the horizon were sucked in, radiating for several miles.
"Whoosh, whoosh." All the plants and dust on the ground were uprooted by the tornado.
"What's going on? The Southern Territory is uneven, why is there a tornado like this?" The experts became cautious.
"Rumble!"
Just as he finished speaking, the tornado suddenly emitted a roar of lightning. The tornado expanded along with the lightning and swept towards them.
The most frightening thing was that lightning began to gather in the center of the tornado, forming a huge lightning dragon. It spun with the tornado and grew bigger and bigger.
It was several hundred meters long and several meters thick. Its white eyes were filled with lightning power, accompanied by the howling wind.
"It's … it's a secret art … a Heaven Rank … a Heaven Rank secret art. It's … it's an extremely terrifying combination secret art!" The leader of the seven sects said. "Enemy attack, it's an enemy attack. Prepare to face the enemy!"
"No, no, we can't face the enemy. Avoid the tornado immediately. Avoid it immediately. Otherwise, we'll all be sucked in and be smashed to pieces!"
"Our Three Sects and Seven Schools have joined forces. How can we retreat? No, we can't retreat. What will the world think of us if we retreat? We must face the enemy! "
Although the Three Sects and Seven Schools were led by the Muyun Sect, at this moment, they were all fighting for themselves and had different opinions.
After a while, they decided to face the tornado head-on. They prepared to enter the tornado and fight with the secret art masters inside. In their opinion, to be able to use such a terrifying Heaven Rank secret art, it must be a group of secret art masters.
"Kill our way in and destroy these secret art masters!" The leader of the Xuan Sect said, "As long as we destroy these secret art masters, the secret art will be broken!"
When everyone heard that, they immediately perked up. The Xuan Sect was a master of secret arts. Apart from a few experts, almost everyone on the shuttle was a secret art master.
However, such a powerful Secret Technique still caused them to be greatly shocked. Although they were able to use it together, this Secret Technique actually contained a strand of Heavenly Might.
If it weren't for the strong spiritual power fluctuations, they would've thought it was heaven's might instead of a secret art performed by a human.
