These days, Liu Yi was very busy. She often had meetings with the think tank. Of course, the contents of the meetings were about the possibilities of this war.
In this war, the two sides had confirmed that the Karma Fire Sect, the Xuan Chong Sect, and the Nine Sword Sect would fight against the Vast Serenity Sect, the Black Thunder Sect, and the Fantasy Light Sect. However, no one was sure if the two sides had hidden helpers or not. Just by looking at the competence of the six sects, it was hard to predict the outcome on paper. Their apparent competence was too similar. Moreover, even if one sect had a unique trump card, no one could guarantee that the enemy didn't have one.
Thus, in the situation where both sides couldn't guarantee the victory, Liu Yi speculated that a large-scale war wouldn't happen directly. Instead, they would test each other and try their best to find out the trump cards of the other sects. Of course, this kind of test wouldn't be a small one. It would be a war. If they didn't test each other, they wouldn't be able to find out anything.
Based on this assumption, Liu Yi thought that in the early stage of the war, the two sides would attack each other intensively. For example, they would invade the enemy's country or territory. They would use this method to force the enemy to accept the challenge. In the middle stage, they would attack and defend the resource territories. The resource territories had become the most important thing for the sects. If the two sides couldn't negotiate a truce in terms of resource territories, they would enter the third stage, which was an all-out war against the headquarters.
Once the war entered the third stage, it would be hard to stop it. This was what Liu Yi hoped for. She would try her best to force the war to enter the third stage.
At this moment, the sects of the entire Eight Ancient Continents were silent. No one did anything. It was so quiet that it was scary. It was just like when the Hachiko clan was watching over them. However, everybody knew that it was just the calm before the storm.
Indeed!
Three days later!
Liu Yi and the think tank were in the middle of a meeting. Suddenly, someone came to the door and reported urgently. "Report! There's a war! "
Everybody in the room was shaken. They immediately asked the man to report the report. Liu Yi ordered him to read it in front of everybody. The report was from the Thousand Shadow Sect.
"In the Zhan Ju country that Xuan Chong Sect occupied, a total of eight cities, including the capital, were attacked. All eight cities were destroyed and the poison spread throughout the entire country. Not even a single blade of grass could survive!"
"A total of twelve cities in the Lu Country, which was occupied by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, including the capital, were attacked. All twelve cities were destroyed, and the land was covered in flames."
"…"
After this person finished speaking, everyone in the room frowned. Liu Yi frowned. Without a doubt, Guang You Sect was targeting Xuan Chong Sect's War Horse Country while Black Thunder Sect was targeting Wan Swords Sect's Lu Country. One had to know that the importance of War Horse Country and Lu Country to the two sects was not low. For Guang You Sect to attack such an important target, it meant that Guang You Sect was serious and had no intention of making a small fuss.
Perhaps it was because the person who died was the grandson of the previous Sect Leader, so they had to put on an act to give an explanation to the people in the sect. But no matter what Guang You Sect thought, Liu Yi was very happy to see it.
"This happened at midnight today." This person quickly read out the date on the report and said, "It has been eight hours since then!"
Liu Yi frowned even more. Eight hours was enough for the Karmic Fire Sect to react. With the temper of the Karmic Fire Sect, they would definitely not delay and retaliate. But it was different from Xuan Chong Sect and Nine Swords Sect's attack. Guang You Sect and the other two sects should have taken precautions and minimized their losses.
Information.
The information that the Ice Fire Union received was always second-hand. It was still too slow!
However, this reality was hard to change in a short period of time. Luckily, her allies would not delay the information and would not take too long to get the information. Now that Guang You Sect had made their move, the war had officially begun. The next step would be to see how things developed.
After Guang You Sect attacked the two countries, they did not occupy them. It was purely an attack. If they did, they would be crazy. Furthermore, Guang You Sect did not lack territory. Just as Liu Yi thought, Karmic Fire Sect did not even take two hours after receiving the news. They joined forces with the other three sects to attack the three countries under Guang You Sect.
Similarly, more than 20 cities were reduced to ashes. Be it Heavenly Masters or commoners, they were unable to escape.
However, Liu Yi's guess was right once again. Guang You Sect attacked first, which meant that they were prepared. This was the advantage of attacking first. Guang You Sect did not defend all the cities. Instead, they concentrated their forces in four cities. This way, they would have a huge advantage in numbers. Although Karmic Fire Sect destroyed more cities, the 20 Level 8 Heavenly Masters that went to the four cities were almost completely wiped out. Including the Level 8 Heavenly Masters that were killed during the sneak attack, the death toll had already exceeded 20.
On the other hand, Guang You Sect did not lose a single person.
As such, Karmic Fire Sect was even more anxious. But under the suggestion of Xuan Chong Sect and Nine Swords Sect, they changed their strategy. Since they had started the war, there was no need to protect unimportant countries. They were just spreading their forces. Immediately, Xuan Chong Sect and Nine Swords Sect mobilized their forces. Both sects only left behind two countries' territories. Furthermore, their forces were concentrated in the capital city for defense.
At this moment, Guang You Sect did something that caused Karmic Fire Sect to fly into a rage.
Guang You Sect knew that it was useless to attack the countries that their enemy had already abandoned. Therefore, they changed their target according to the plan. And this time, their target was actually … temples.
That's right, all the temples of Karmic Fire Sect outside became the target of Guang You Sect.
Didn't you kill my Guang You Sect's men because of a Buddha statue? Didn't you claim to be an orthodox Buddhist? Then I will destroy all your temples outside. I will humiliate you in front of the entire world and all the Buddhist followers!
The next day, out of the 36 temples that Karmic Fire Sect personally managed, more than half of them were destroyed. One must know that these temples were either built within the capital city or on top of a mountain. The surroundings were all filled with Buddhist followers. And under the attack of Guang You Sect, these Buddhist followers all lost their lives. All the Buddha statues were destroyed. Some of the Buddha statues were even chopped into pieces.
When this news spread to Karmic Fire Sect, the faces of the three Sect Heads and the various core elders turned green.
Even if they didn't want to admit it, the truth was right in front of their eyes. They had lost two consecutive battles. The other sects and the entire world were watching. It was a slap to their faces!
The three Sect Heads of Karmic Fire Sect were the Sect Head Jue Nian and the two Vice Sect Heads Jue Chen and Jue Liang. Jue Liang was the calmest of the three. He said to Jue Nian, "Senior brother, the next step of the plan needs to be done carefully. Otherwise, the enemy will be waiting for us and we will fall into their trap again."
Jue Nian's face was green. If this was said by a core elder, he would have sent him flying with a slap. But luckily, he still listened to Jue Liang and didn't say anything.
Jue Nian was very strong but he was like a volcano that could erupt at any time. He was hard to control. What Jue Liang did the most was to calm Jue Nian's emotions and prevent him from making excessive decisions. Jue Liang looked at Du Xu and said, "Inform the other two sects to not act rashly. Focus on defense and wait for our news. As long as we don't move, the enemy's plan will fail. "
"Yes!" Du Xu immediately accepted the order and left quickly.
"Then how do we settle this grudge?" Jue Nian looked at Jue Liang. His voice was extremely cold. It was as though a cold wind was blowing in the room.
"Naturally, we won't let it go." Jue Liang said, "Guang You Sect has a place that specializes in refining poison. If we attack these places, we will fall into their trap. So why don't we do the opposite and continue attacking their capital."
"Now, Guang You Sect has gathered their forces in the capital of the six countries. As long as we gather our forces to attack one capital, we will be able to reverse the situation and make the enemy lose more people than us. "
Jue Nian's eyes turned cold. He asked, "When do we attack?"
"Tomorrow night." Jue Liang said, "We will use the Karmic Fire Prison Formation."
Karmic Fire Prison Formation?
When the core elders heard this, their bodies trembled and they took a deep breath. It seemed that the Sect Head was determined to kill. He didn't want to turn back!
