Time passed by slowly and ten days passed quickly.
In these ten days, the Eight Ancient Continents were unusually peaceful and the 31 sects did not make any noise. Most of the sects were waiting for a result, waiting to watch a great show.
In the war between the Karmic Fire Sect and Guang You Sect, ever since Guang You Sect lost the previous time, they had gathered all their forces and even gave up a few resource territories. Under such circumstances, the Karmic Fire Sect did not attack rashly. Firstly, they were afraid of being ambushed. Secondly, they were worried that Guang You Sect would really send out their level 9 Heavenly Masters. If that was the case, the level 8 Heavenly Masters would just be sending themselves to their deaths.
Both sides were in a stalemate but there was no news of negotiations. With Guang You Sect's sinister character, especially Sect Master Su Ke Ming's character, those who had interacted with him believed that Guang You Sect would not take this lying down and would try to regain their face no matter what.
However, the Karmic Fire Sect had 4 sects and Guang You Sect was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Revenge was a huge problem. Guang You Sect was not the only one thinking about it. All the other sects were guessing what Guang You Sect would do next.
Eight Ancient Continents, Ice Fire Union.
Ice Fire Union had many allies and friends. They had obtained a lot of detailed information about both sides. It could be said that they were very familiar with the 7 sects. On this basis, Liu Yi believed that there was only one way for Guang You Sect to turn the situation around.
That was Guang You Sect's specialty – poison.
Whether it was the number of level 8 Heavenly Masters or level 9 Heavenly Masters, Guang You Sect was at an absolute disadvantage. No matter how much they tried, they would not be able to change the outcome. Guang You Sect was indeed trying to rope in other sects but no one was willing to get involved. Therefore, if they wanted to win this war, they had to take an unconventional approach.
There were too many things that poison could accomplish. Even if the Karmic Fire Sect had a strong resistance against poison, it did not mean that the other 3 sects could do the same. Guang You Sect did not even need to use poison to kill. Instead, they could force the other 3 sects to leave. This was a huge gain for Guang You Sect.
At this moment, Liu Yi was discussing the future of the sect with Beauty Yang. Suddenly, Kong Yan flew into the room with a nervous expression. Obviously, something had happened.
"There's news!" Kong Yan said quickly, "Mysterious Sky Sect and Xuan Chong Sect have a plague!"
As soon as he said that, Liu Yi and Beauty Yang were shocked and frowned.
Kong Yan quickly passed the information to the two of them. This was first-hand information obtained by the Yin Yang Divine Sect. Yang Meiren and Liu Yi's expressions became even more serious after reading the report. According to the report, plagues appeared in the Mysterious Sky Sect and the Mysterious Sublime Sect within a short span of six days. More than three hundred Level Eight Celestial Masters and two thousand Level Seven Celestial Masters were affected. Furthermore, the death rate of this plague was extremely high. Over four hundred Heavenly Masters of the seventh grade and below had already died. Even ten Heavenly Masters of the eighth grade had died!
Plague?
Liu Yi frowned and said, "What kind of plague can affect a Level Eight Heavenly Master? This is poison! "
Beauty Yang also agreed. A Celestial Master's physical ability was completely different from an ordinary person's, let alone a Level Eight Celestial Master. Even if a mountain collapsed, it would not be able to cause any harm to a Level Eight Celestial Master, let alone a plague. The Level Eight Celestial Master's powerful body would have cleared it away. For such a large-scale plague to appear at such a special time, and for the Mysterious Sky Sect and the Mysterious Sublime Sect to be affected, it was undoubtedly the work of the Guang You Sect!
At that moment, a figure flew into the room from the sky. It was Shuang 'er. Shuang 'er also looked nervous, but after seeing Kong Yan, she understood something and asked, "Does everyone know about the Mysterious Sky Sect and the Mysterious Sublime Sect being poisoned?"
"Yes." Liu Yi said, "Is there any other news?"
"Yes!" Shuang 'er immediately nodded and said, "The Misty Rain Sect just sent news that the Mysterious Sky Sect has already sent people to find them, hoping that they can help cure the poison!"
Once she said that, the three people in the room trembled again!
Beauty Yang and Liu Yi looked at each other. Without a doubt, this was very important news. Beauty Yang said, "It seems that the Mysterious Sky Sect and the Mysterious Sublime Sect have not found a way to cure the poison. I'm afraid even the Sect Master is helpless. After all, not everyone can cure the poison."
"Yes." Liu Yi agreed and said, "The Guang You Sect's poison is more advanced than we thought, and they have succeeded. As long as the Mysterious Sky Sect and the Mysterious Sublime Sect are unable to cure the poison, as the plague becomes more and more serious, they must put down their pride and ask the Guang You Sect to cure the poison. At least the Guang You Sect can stop the two sects from joining forces with the Hellfire Sect. They might even be able to force the two sects to stand on their side. After the other sects saw the Guang You Sect's poison, they would not dare to go against the Hellfire Sect. It can be said that the plague this time has made the entire sect wary of the Guang You Sect. "
"The Misty Rain Sect wants to ask for our opinion." Shuang 'er said, "They have not given the Mysterious Sky Sect an answer."
After all, the Misty Rain Sect had a water-elemental Fate Wheel. There was a certain possibility that they could cure the poison. However, Liu Yi did not expect the Misty Rain Sect to ask for her opinion. Why was that so? After all, they were only friends and not allies. Could it be that … the Misty Rain Sect realized that she was the one who started the conflict between the two sects?
After pondering for a while, Liu Yi said, "Tell them that it is not my place to interfere with their decision. Let them decide for themselves."
"Alright." Shuang 'er left immediately.
Beauty Yang and Liu Yi immediately discussed this matter. Kong Yan, who was listening by the side, could not hold back her curiosity and asked, "How did the Guang You Sect poison the two sects? They can't possibly enter the headquarters to poison them, right? "
Beauty Yang was slightly stunned. She looked at Kong Yan. She naturally could not be indifferent to her own family. She explained, "No sect can be completely isolated. There are many people stationed outside to guard the resources and territories. There are also many intelligence personnel outside to gather information. The poison only needs to be administered to one person. When the poisoned person returns to the headquarters, they can pass the poison to others through breathing. They don't even need to come into contact. "
"That's right." Liu Yi nodded and said, "The plague is just like that. If the Guang You Sect's poison is strong enough, even a gust of wind can spread the poison across the entire headquarters. In this year's chaos, the Guang You Sect only relied on a little poison to kill the people of an intermediate country. That is why many sects are so wary of the Guang You Sect. "
Kong Yan was clearly frightened when she heard this. Her face was pale and she was flustered. Following that, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "What if the Guang You Sect poisons us as well?!"
Seeing how nervous Kong Yan was, Liu Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry. We have thought about this a long time ago. Don't forget that we have Yao. No matter how strong the poison is, it will be useless in front of Sengoku. With Yao's current strength, the Guang You Sect would only be asking for humiliation. Instead, it will cause their reputation to plummet."
Hearing Liu Yi's words, Kong Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
"Now that the Guang You Sect has made their move, we will have to see if the Karmic Fire Sect has a way to neutralize the poison." Beauty Yang said, "Even if the poison is really neutralized, the Mysterious Sky Sect and Mysterious Sublime Sect would probably be scared out of their wits. If the Guang You Sect were to use another poison, the two sects would be in deep trouble. I believe that the Guang You Sect has more than just one type of poison."
"Mn." Liu Yi agreed and said, "Especially the Mysterious Sublime Sect. They would never allow themselves to be taken advantage of. It is very likely that they would be the first to betray us."
"However … after this incident is over, I'm afraid there are only two possibilities." Beauty Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Either the level nine Heavenly Masters would make a move, or both sides would stop fighting. Even if it's just a temporary truce, they would have to come to some sort of agreement."
Hearing Beauty Yang's words, Liu Yi fell into deep thought. Indeed, if they were to continue fighting, half of the level eight Heavenly Masters would die. They would either have to cut off all means of retreat or make peace. However, Liu Yi was leaning towards the latter. Even though the Sect Head of the Karmic Fire Sect and the Sect Head of the Guang You Sect were not kind people, they were shrewd people. The one who had the last laugh would be the winner. If they were to fight to the death now, it would be meaningless.
The only thing they could do now was to wait. However, compared to waiting for news from the sects, they were waiting for Lu An's return.
Lu An had already been gone for half a month. In this half a month, all the women in the clan had obviously lost their smiles. Everyone's mood was extremely gloomy and could not be hidden.
After losing Lu An, they even suddenly felt as if the entire clan had become empty, and it had suddenly become very cold and cheerless. Even the interactions between everyone had decreased significantly. The entire atmosphere of the clan seemed to have changed.
It was not like Lu An had never left the clan for such a long time before. However, it was different this time. Now that they did not know whether Lu An was alive or dead, even Fu Yu's mood was extremely cold. Towards everyone's mood, even Liu Yi was completely helpless and unable to change it.
In the hearts of these women, Lu An's position was irreplaceable.
Liu Yi took a deep breath and looked out of the window.
No matter where you are, you had better hurry back. Otherwise … the clan would really collapse.
