"If the heavens want to kill, they will go crazy. The Nakagawa Royal Family won't be able to survive for long. It's just the final radiance of the setting sun!" The Supreme Elder of the Yuqing Sect, Shangguan Hong, who was in the Tribulation Stage, said as he stood on top of the mountain and looked in the direction of the Nakagawa Royal City.
"Then do we still need to hold back?" Shangguan Dieche asked, puzzled.
"Hold back for now. Let the people outside come back as soon as possible, especially the big regions where the Nine Great Princes are and the big regions around the dynasty. No matter what, we have to reduce our losses," Shangguan Hong said softly.
Now, all the major forces who knew a little bit of the inside story were extremely restrained. Facing the pressure of the Nakagawa Royal Family, most of them chose to retreat and even gave up some benefits that seemed impossible to give up.
This might be seen as a sign of weakness in the outside world, but it was not the case.
Firstly, this could reduce their losses and temporarily avoid direct conflict with the Nakagawa Royal Family. Secondly, they were preparing for the next attack.
If they wanted to punch, they had to pull back their fist first. Only then could they accumulate strength and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
Although Hayashikawa had summoned the members of the Akatsuki and the Three-Eye Alliance into the World of Immortals, not everyone related to them was not in the Nakagawa Continent. For example, Jinyao and the others who stayed in the Genesis Sphere knew about Hayashikawa's summoning. Before they left, they had already arranged many things, such as revealing the news of Hayashikawa's imminent return to the Taoist Sect, Yuan Sect, and Sky Sword Sect.
Now, when these forces knew that Hayashikawa was coming back, they naturally knew that a war was coming. Therefore, even if they were angry with the current Nakagawa Royal Family, they would not take action at this time to attract hatred. Instead, they would wait for Hayashikawa's return and unite the major forces to attack the Royal Family.
"How are the disciples in the sect who took the elixir now?" Shangguan Hong asked after a moment of silence.
"Their strength has increased greatly. At least 20%, most of them around 30%," Shangguan Dieche said seriously.
"I got it. Go ahead and cultivate well. Don't let me down," Shangguan Hong said softly.
"Yes, disciple understands." Shangguan Dieche said respectfully, then turned and left.
This mountain peak was a forbidden area of the Yuqing Sect. It was where the Supreme Elder Shangguan Dieche cultivated in seclusion. Even the current Sect Leader of the Yuqing Sect could not enter and leave this place as he pleased. However, Shangguan Dieche had the right to do so. This was because Shangguan Dieche had become Shangguan Hong's last disciple.
Many people in the Yuqing Sect were shocked by this.
Because Shangguan Hong had stopped accepting disciples for a long time. His last disciple had now reached the dacheng stage and was a respected elder of the sect. After accepting Shangguan Dieche as his last disciple, Shangguan Dieche's seniority suddenly increased a lot. Now, most people in the sect had to respectfully call Shangguan Dieche Grandmaster when they saw her, which showed how high her seniority was.
The reason why Shangguan Hong accepted Shangguan Dieche as his last disciple was not because of her talent. To be honest, in the Yuqing Sect, there were still a few people who were more talented than Shanghai Dieche. However, Shangguan Hong still chose Shanghai Dieche because of her relationship with Hayashikawa.
Whether it was Hayashikawa's identity as the successor of Taoxian or the Oracle Blue Dragon, who was about to return with the Akatsuki, Hayashikawa already had the ability to dominate the Cultivation World. Moreover, the development of the Yuqing Sect could not be achieved without the help of Hayashikawa. If they wanted to maintain this advantage, Shangguan Dieche, who had a good relationship with Hayashikawa, was a rare asset. This was also the key reason why the Yuqing Sect could dominate the Taiqing Sect and the Shangqing Sect.
After leaving Shangguan Dieche's residence, she flew outside.
"Hello, Grandmaster!"
"Greetings, Grandmaster!"
"Greetings, Uncle!"
…
Along the way, such voices were incessant. Many people were much older than Shangguan Dieche, and many of them were elders in the sect. However, in front of Shangguan Dieche, they could only salute her respectfully.
At first, Shangguan Dieche was not used to it, but now she could handle it calmly.
Today, Shangguan Dieche ignored the saluting people around her because she had something on her mind.
"Are you … finally coming back? I heard from Master that the World of Immortals is one of the most powerful immortal artifacts in the world. Even the Taiyi Clan can't break the space seal, but you did it … Your return will probably change the entire Cultivation World, "Shangguan Dieche thought to herself.
She had already heard the news that Hayashikawa was about to return. After worrying for so long, she was originally very happy when she heard the news, but now she was a little worried.
The Nakagawa Imperial Family was not easy to deal with. Although the flow of time in the World of Immortals was different from the outside world, it had only been a short time. Could Hayashikawa compete with the Nakagawa Imperial Family?
Most likely not. However, with spatial magic, Hayashikawa's safety should not be a problem. It was just that he would have to go into hiding again.
"I'm still too weak. I can't help much …" Shangguan Dieche said to herself.
She had been working very hard in her cultivation. Previously, she had just broken through to the Form Synthesis Stage. However, it was a pity that she did not have as many adventures as Hayashikawa. Even with the full support of the Yuqing Sect, she could not quickly improve her cultivation. Until now, the gap between their strengths had only widened.
"I hope I can do my part when the time comes!" Shangguan Dieche thought to herself.
Regarding Hayashikawa's return, only a very small number of people had spread the news. People like Shangguan Dieche, who had received the news in the first place, were few. However, being able to get the news at least proved that Hayashikawa could trust people. In the next operation, these people would be the mainstay.
On the other side, seeing that the Nakagawa Imperial Family had stood up again, many sects and forces that had originally relied on the Imperial Family began to become restless.
These forces had previously suppressed the Akatsuki with the Imperial Family. However, later, because Hayashikawa launched Operation Yellow Spring with thunderous means and slaughtered several organizations that had attacked the Akatsuki, these organizations felt insecure and expressed their desire to leave. However, now, with Hayashikawa's disappearance and the major forces' retreat step by step towards the Nakagawa Imperial Family, they once again saw hope and chose to stand back.
For a time, the entire Nakagawa Continent seemed to have returned to the control of the Nakagawa Imperial Family. It was even more tyrannical than before.
After this situation continued for a while, the Nakagawa Imperial Family finally began to make a big move.
