In less than a hundred years, two and a half experts from the Lower Realm of the Immortal Realm had died. One from the Great Wilderness Sect, one from the Mysterious Heaven Sect, plus the one who used the Divine Perching Jade, it could be said that the major sects had suffered heavy losses.
The threat of the Zhao Family had reached an intolerable level, even though there had been no war with the Zhao Family in the past hundred years.
The death of the three Golden Immortal Grandmasters made the higher-ups of the major Sect consider whether they should ask the higher-ups to send more experts.
"There's no need!" This time, it was the representative of the Mysterious Heaven Sect, Hall Chief Tong of the External Affairs Hall who spoke. He was the confidant of Sect Master Wu and one of the higher-ups of the Mysterious Heaven Sect, so his words carried a lot of weight.
"Just one Golden Immortal Grandmaster is gone, it's not to the point of despair." Seeing everyone looking at him, Hall Chief Tong immediately said with assurance, "Although we have suffered a big loss, the Zhao Family will definitely not be relaxed."
In terms of comprehensive strength, the major Sect combined would definitely surpass the Zhao Family. The Zhao Family was just a Sect. Even if the higher-ups could send experts, how many could they send? Every Golden Immortal expert had to pay an extremely high price to descend to the Lower Realm. It was something that could only be achieved by sacrificing many Tribulation True Immortals. No matter how many experts the Zhao Family had, how many Tribulation True Immortals could they use on this matter?
After Lin Zongxun was injured, he made it clear that his opponents did not gain any advantage. Even if they exchanged one for another, the Zhao Family did not have so many experts to exchange.
This was the reason on the surface, but another important reason was because of Sect Master Wu.
Hall Master Tong was very clear that the true successor to the Sect Master was Sect Master Wu. To put it bluntly, as long as Sect Master Wu could be patient, Sect Master Li would eventually have to pass the position to Sect Master Wu. It was only because the higher-ups had sent two hotheads who had fought against everything that Sect Master Wu had the opportunity to take over the position.
If a Sect sent someone to ascend and report the current situation, the Mysterious Heaven Sect in the Immortal Realm would definitely not be happy to see the current situation of the Mysterious Heaven Sect. Once the higher-ups knew that they were messing around in the Lower Realm, they would send one or two experts down. Perhaps Sect Master Li would immediately regain the position of Sect Master.
This was something that Sect Master Wu could not tolerate, and it was also something that Hall Master Tong could not tolerate. When they were in the mortal world, the two, as the sect master and foreign affairs hall master of the Greatest Heaven Sect, were really able to get the wind and rain. Once they tasted the taste, they would never want to give it up.
Once they tasted the taste of power, they would never want to give it up. Although his status was slightly higher than that of an ordinary disciple, compared to the glory he had when he was the Sect Master and Hall Master, the difference was not just a little bit.
Now that they had once again tasted the feeling of being at the pinnacle of power, if they were to return to being ordinary disciples and wait patiently, it would be worse than killing them. How could Sect Master Wu and Hall Master Tong tolerate such a thing happening?
Therefore, no matter how critical the current situation was, they could not let the higher-ups know what was happening in the Spiritual Realm before Sect Master Wu stabilized his position. Of course, the official reason was the same as before. The major sects weren't having a good time, but the Zhao Family believed that it was even worse.
Everyone agreed with this. Even if all the Golden Immortal Grandmasters of the Sect Sect were killed, how many experts could Zhao Family lose? Everyone believed that the Golden Immortal Grandmasters of the Sect Sect were not useless. They would definitely be able to withstand the attack of Zhao Family.
The only worry was the Demon Beast Space, which was Zhao Family's territory. They had the geographical advantage. If they really fought, Zhou Sheng and the others would suffer a lot.
"Don't worry, the Grandmasters are not reckless." Hall Chief Tong began to reason, "My Grandmaster Zhou said before we set off that if we can't win, we should run, and if we find an opportunity to fight, I believe they will definitely turn back. There has been no news until now, which means that the situation is not that serious. "
Everyone heard this before the Golden Immortal Grandmasters set off, and Zhou Sheng did say so at that time. If one were to put it that way, it would make sense. Even if Zhao Family had the geographical advantage, it was impossible for them to keep a group of Golden Immortal experts and a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal expert.
The only explanation was that both sides suffered losses, but it was obvious that Zhou Sheng and the others must have discovered the Zhao Family's arrangement, which was why there was a fierce battle. Otherwise, the two sides would not have fought.
All parties agreed with Hall Chief Tong of Xuantian Sect. They each brought back the news, and then went back to make arrangements.
But as soon as they turned around, several senior members of the Sect began to arrange for their loyal disciples to prepare for the tribulation and ascension. There were some things that had to be known by the higher-ups, especially the current situation of Xuantian Sect, which was even more dangerous. They had to be prepared in advance.
The senior members carefully told the disciples who were about to ascend to remember a lot of things, and each prepared a lot of jade slips to record what happened below, so that they could report it after they ascended.
In particular, the current situation of Xuantian Sect had to be reminded. If Sect Master Wu was really a chess piece arranged by the Zhao Family, then the identity of Zhou Sheng and Lin Zongxun sent by Xuantian Sect was also very suspicious. Even the Immortal World's Xuantian Sect would be strongly questioned, so the seniors above had to be prepared early.
Hall Chief Tong and Sect Master Wu probably never dreamed that as soon as they disbanded, others would secretly plot against them. It couldn't be helped, their behavior was too strange. If it wasn't for the fact that Xuantian Sect was still a big sect, the major Sect would have wanted to do something like this in the mortal world again.
The big storm this time was temporarily suppressed by Xuantian Sect on the surface, but things were not over. The major Sect strengthened their guard against the Zhao Family, ready to deal with the Zhao Family's next attack at any time.
However, after preparing for a long time, there was no movement from the Zhao Family, as if nothing had happened. This made people start to wonder if the Zhao Family had really suffered heavy losses and couldn't organize an effective counterattack in a short period of time.
This short period of peace didn't last long. In less than ten years, three super Sect were raided.
The targets of the raids were the cultivation places of the experts who were resurrected by the Divine Perching Jade. They were all places that were heavily guarded by the major Sect. After Lin Zongxun's accident last time, all parties strengthened the protection of these experts, striving to be foolproof.
It had to be known that these experts would become stronger and stronger over time until they recovered their original cultivation or even went further. This was especially true for experts with experience and comprehension. Compared to those newly advanced experts, their battle prowess was more than double.
Three super sects were attacked. Two of them were blocked by heavily guarded experts, while the last one, Hidden Fog Mountain, was successfully attacked. Dozens of experts who had been reborn by relying on the Divine Perching Jade died, including the Golden Immortal Grandmaster Ancestor who had been reborn.
