Chapter 256 The Immortal Sect's Hidden Move
The Immortal Sect wanted to save face.
They dispatched many powerful individuals to try and take those women back.
But their plans all failed.
Every time they sent someone, they were all captured and then castrated.
However, this time Qi Ye did not send the people back to the Immortal Sect, but instead stripped them naked and tied them up.
Those rows of eunuchs only fueled the stigma and indignation of the Immortal Sect.
In particular, there were several Grandmaster-level experts among them.
There are hundreds of Grandmasters who have entered the country, and even more ordinary Grandmasters.
What a humiliation!
The main hall of the Immortal Sect.
"Useless! Ten days have passed, and not only have we failed to recapture the people, we've also lost thousands of powerful warriors."
Enraged, Sect Leader Qi smashed the teacup in his hand.
"Sect Master Qi, it's not that I don't want to save them, but Dong Qin is heavily guarded and well-prepared. We've sent people to rescue them several times, but they've all been wiped out."
"Even several Grandmasters at the pinnacle of their cultivation perished in the attack."
The deacon said indignantly.
Doesn't he want to save them? But how can he save them? Unless he takes action himself.
But once he makes a move, there will be no way to stop it.
Upon hearing the deacon's words, everyone fell silent.
Now that a Grandmaster of the Extreme Realm has fallen at the hands of Dong Qin, it is almost impossible for them to wash away their shame.
Moreover, after these several sneak attacks, Dong Qin's defenses are likely even more stringent.
"Sect Master Qi, the people below are in a state of panic. We must act swiftly and decisively, otherwise, if this drags on, we will lose their support and the forces below will likely descend into chaos."
Elder Gu said solemnly.
He's been bothered by those people quite a bit these past few days.
"Sect Master Qi, Elder Gu, we've probably fallen into a trap."
An elderly man in black robes spoke with a solemn expression.
He couldn't understand what the point of Dong Qin humiliating them was; at most, it would only damage their reputation.
Now he understood somewhat. It seemed that Dong Qin was doing this on purpose, knowing that they would rescue people for the sake of their reputation, so they could wait for them to come to them and set a trap.
Let them keep sending people to their deaths.
This is the conspiracy of Eastern Qin.
"Elder Wu, what does this mean?"
Sect Leader Qi was somewhat puzzled.
The one who spoke just now was an elder from a recently arrived immortal sect.
His name is Wu Yong, and he is also a powerful terrestrial immortal at the fifth realm.
His cultivation level was only slightly weaker than that of Sect Master Qi and Elder Gu Lu.
"Dongqin knows we'll worry about our reputation, so they're setting a trap for us. They want us to keep sending people to rescue us, so they've set a snare for us. It's both a conspiracy and an open scheme."
"If we don't send someone to rescue them, they will use this to damage the reputation of our Immortal Sect."
"If we go to rescue them, and we don't send enough people, we'll just be sending them to their deaths."
"They have now put us in a difficult position. If I'm not mistaken, they may have the same plan as us."
Elder Wu Yong then revealed all his conjectures.
"You're plotting the same thing as us? What do you mean by that, Elder Wu?"
Sect Leader Qi was somewhat puzzled.
"They want us to start the Immortal War ahead of schedule. The Eastern Qin, or rather the four ancient clans, probably have some kind of scheme."
"There's also something fishy about the sudden chaos in the Central Region. The sect leader is currently investigating it."
Elder Wu Yong stopped teasing people.
They wanted to scheme against the four ancient clans, hoping that the ancient clans would break the rules in advance.
It now seems that the four ancient clans are also scheming, wanting them to force their immortal sect to break the rules first.
"If that's the case, then we're in big trouble."
"If we don't start the Immortal War ahead of schedule, our reputation will be completely ruined."
Sect Master Qi now understands that they have fallen into a conspiracy by the Eastern Qin, or rather, the four ancient clans.
"What exactly do the four ancient clans want to do?"
The elder looked grave.
If it's true that the four ancient clans want to start the Immortal War ahead of schedule, then they're in trouble.
But they really couldn't understand what the four ancient clans wanted to do.
None of the people present considered that this was Qin Wu's scheme. After all, in their eyes, Qin Wu, and even the entire Eastern Qin, were just ordinary mortals who did not have the ability or courage to scheme against them.
However, what they didn't expect was that this whole affair was Qin Wu's scheme and plot.
"No matter what they want to do, we absolutely cannot start the Immortal War. Since the front lines can't cause them any trouble, let's find a way to make their backyard burn."
Elder Wu Yong said sinisterly.
Indeed, they are helpless on the front lines and have fallen into a complete disadvantage.
The only thing we can do is to cause trouble in the backyard of Eastern Qin, only then will there be any problems on the front lines of Eastern Qin.
Only then will they have a chance to turn things around.
There's no need to worry about them being forced into initiating the Immortal War.
"You mean to use that piece?"
Sect Master Qi looked at Elder Wu Yong and asked solemnly.
That was their last trump card to disrupt Dong Qin, which they originally intended to use at the last moment.
He was somewhat unwilling to use it ahead of schedule.
"Sect Leader Qi, we have no choice but to use it now, otherwise we would have to act prematurely, and none of us can bear the consequences of that."
Elder Wu Yong said.
Their current situation doesn't allow them to think about anything else.
"Elder Wu is right. We have no choice but to use it now, otherwise we would have to break the rules."
Elder Gu Lu also spoke up.
Sect Leader Qi fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons of the matter.
Finally, a decision was made.
"Alright, I'll have someone send the order over, but this piece will probably be completely useless after this."
"That's what Sect Master Qi said."
Although it was a helpless situation, it was the only thing we could do.
After making their decision, the three began to take action.
Orders were issued from the Immortal Sect, and the Immortal Sect lineage began to stir again.
The news of the Immortal Sect's action spread quickly.
Qin Wu also received the news immediately.
"Heh, I also want to know their backup plan, but it's been so long, it's time for me to show up, otherwise everyone will think I'm dead."
After Qin Wu finished speaking, the intelligence report in his hand turned to ashes.
These days everyone thinks he is still seriously injured.
He did manage to catch quite a few rats, and now the time is almost right.
His sudden appearance raises questions about whether the Immortal Sect's backup plan will dare to act recklessly, or even have the guts to do so.
On that day, many rats were caught and executed by dismemberment outside the military camp.
The screams were incessant, and even the immortal army twenty miles away could hear them.
This shows how miserable those rats were; they couldn't even commit suicide.
Anyone who tries to commit suicide will suffer an even more horrible death.
After the execution, Qin Wu ordered the body to be packed up and sent back to the Immortal Sect.
It can be considered that these people have been able to return to their roots, and Qin Wu felt that he was truly a good person.
However, the Immortal Sect faction regarded Qin Wu as a devil.
They also learned that Qin Wu was not injured at all; he was just looking for an excuse to attack the Immortal Sect.
But it's too late to know now.
Now they can only hope that their backup plan will work.
