Chapter 762: Dark Hand

"Capture alive? Brother Fang, are you joking! You also know that Brother Zhong once took action to deal with this person once. But this person not only is proficient in thunder escape, but also knows a kind of blood escape technique that has never been seen before, and it is completely impossible to stop this person from escaping. And this person's other divine abilities are not small, and capturing him alive is not much different from capturing existences of our level. Two Fellow Daoists, do you think it's possible? If we kill this person and just seize the Geng Essence magic treasure, that would be somewhat certain," the thin old man said gloomily.

"Since it is so difficult to capture alive, then it doesn't matter if he is dead," somewhat beyond the old man's expectation, the black-robed man changed his words immediately after pondering for a moment.

The thin old man and the Confucian scholar and others looked at each other, transmitted their voices to discuss for a while, and agreed to this matter.

Thus, subsequently, these people began to discuss some details in detail.

At the same time, in the Tiannan camp, Supreme Master Brother Zhiyang and Wei Wei Wuya and others were also discussing the great war in a large hall.

But the number of people was fewer than on the Dharma Master side.

Besides the three great cultivators and Long Han, there was also a red-shirted beautiful woman and an old man with eagle eyes and a white beard in this place.

This old man's eyes were half-closed, and on one of his fingers, he wore a jade ring.

This ring was emerald green, with runes faintly appearing on it; it looked like a rare treasure.

"Fellow Daoist Friend Tianhen, this time it all depends on you few Fellow Daoists. We will drag the Dharma Master army's main force here. You just need to sneak into the Tianyi City and loot the resource warehouse clean. Without the resources like spirit stones and materials that the Mulan people have painstakingly collected, even if the Mulan people can gain the upper hand in the great war, we can drag them to death," Supreme Master Brother Zhiyang said with a smile. He acted as if nothing unpleasant had happened between him and the old man in front of him, the famous 'Friend Tianhen Old Monster,' in the past.

"As long as you drag the Mulan Divine Masters to the border, sneaking into the Tianyi City will naturally be no problem. Moreover, there is the teleportation array provided by Fellow Daoist Wei, which can transmit directly into the city, which is even easier. What I worry about instead is, why would the Mulan people leave their resources in the city? Could it be a trap, waiting for us to jump in?" the eagle-eyed old man's voice sounded like gold and stone, which was very uncomfortable to hear.

"Fellow Daoist Friend Tianhen, please rest assured about this point. According to the message from our mole among the Mulan people, although the Dharma Masters occupied the two nations of Fengyuan and Yu, because the Nine Nations Alliance made preparations to withdraw early, all spirit stone mines and raw material production areas were destroyed. Although the Dharma Masters arranged for the Mulan mortals to try their best to rush repairs, because the time was too short, the number of repaired ones was very few, which was of no help at all. Now, the spirit stone resources they consume are still the family assets contributed by various tribes together. These things have to be distributed and used uniformly, so they are stored in a secret warehouse. A powerful restriction array was specifically set up, and it is guarded by several Great Divine Masters. That's why they are so at ease. Logically speaking, it is as stable as Mount Tai. Unless there is an irresistible force attacking the resource warehouse, they have enough time to transfer the things in the warehouse," the Hehuan Old Demon also said indifferently.

"But they never expected that we, the Nine Nations Alliance, have been fighting with the Mulan people for such a long time. They can send spies to sneak into our Yue Nation; we, the Nine Nations Alliance, can also send people to mix into the Dharma Masters. One of the Great Divine Masters guarding the resource warehouse is our insider. When the time comes, he will turn off the array restrictions. Fellow Daoist Friend Tianhen, as long as your actions are secretive, you can completely catch them off guard," Wei Wei Wuya said with a cold laugh.

"Since you few Fellow Daoists are so certain, then I, this old man, have no choice but to try this trip. After it's done..."

"After it's done, our four major forces will be the masters, specifically dividing the Xu Nation to you, Fellow Daoist. You can establish a sect in this nation, and our four major forces will never interfere in the slightest. From then on, you, Fellow Daoist, can also be called a sect ancestor," Long Han said with a smile.

"Good. With the guarantee of you few, this old man and a few good friends will try our best. It's getting late. I will go back and prepare. I will set off early tomorrow morning to sneak into the Yu Nation first," the Friend Tianhen Old Monster obtained the promise he wanted from the few people, showing a look of satisfaction, but he didn't intend to stay here for long and bid farewell.

Not long after, his figure disappeared at the hall entrance.

"The success rate of this old monster shouldn't be low, right? After all, besides him, the other loose cultivator old monsters he brought also have not-so-small divine abilities. With the Mulan people caught off guard, there should be no reason for failure," the Hehuan Old Demon frowned and said slowly.

"Fellow Daoist Yi is right, as long as we truly drag the Mulan Divine Masters, Fellow Daoist Friend Tianhen should have a seven or eight-tenths certainty. It's just that I didn't expect this old monster to suddenly think of establishing a sect at such an age. And he even pulled in so many loose cultivators to build momentum; it's truly somewhat beyond expectation," Long Han also said with flickering eyes.

"This is a very normal thing! The Friend Tianhen Old Monster has been in the Core Formation mid-stage for three or four hundred years, right? Being unable to break through to the late-stage for such a long time, I guess he has completely given up. He has become keen on other things; there is nothing strange about it. And being able to become a sect ancestor is a glorious thing with status. It's just that this person has been at odds with major sects in the past, so he took this opportunity to negotiate conditions with us. Their arrival can be considered a surprise force," Supreme Master Brother Zhiyang said leisurely.

"Alright. Although there is this backup plan of the Friend Tianhen Old Monster, we cannot be careless about the great war that is about to start. We should still try our best to win. If a great collapse is truly caused in one battle, even if the Mulan Dharma Masters have no resource support, we still won't be able to stop their offensive. Brother Wei, are the restrictions you Nine Nations Alliance prepared to restrain the spiritual art arrays no problem? This is the most commonly used melee method of the Dharma Masters," Supreme Master Brother Zhiyang asked Wei Wei Wuya with a serious expression.

"Having been fighting against the Dharma Masters for so many years, our understanding of spiritual art arrays is not inferior to those Dharma Master array masters. If it weren't for the cultivation technique problem, our Nine Nations Alliance could even set up spiritual art arrays exactly the same as the Mulan people. Fellow Daoist Brother Zhiyang, don't worry about this," Wei Wei Wuya said calmly.

Supreme Master Brother Zhiyang was extremely satisfied after hearing this. Although he didn't say anything, his gaze turned to the burly man in black robes.

Seeing this, the Hehuan Old Demon also opened his mouth indifferently.

"Our Demonic Dao Six Sects are already prepared. Not only did the Spirit Beast Sect bring the three guardian beasts, but our Hehuan Sect is also prepared to unseal the Yin-Yang Twin Demons. The Ghost Spirit Sect's Ten Thousand Soul Array can be activated at any time. The other three sects will also display some other powerful methods. I wonder, Fellow Daoist Brother Zhiyang, what killing move has your alliance prepared?" the Old Demon said coldly.

"Our Righteous Dao Alliance opened the Ancestor Hall of each sect before setting off and took out more than a dozen ancient strange treasures with great power. When the time comes, we will definitely not let you down," Supreme Master Brother Zhiyang said very simply, but the Hehuan Old Demon nodded with a relaxed expression, as if he knew what those ancient strange treasures were.

"Our Heaven Dao Alliance is loose, but the sects in the alliance are all prepared. However, I don't know what specific methods they have, Long Han said to himself. But our Luanming Sect took out a few ancient jade talismans from our collection, and their divine abilities are absolutely enough to open the eyes of the Mulan Dharma Masters. It's just that the age is too long, and there is not much power left. After this battle, I guess they will be scrapped," Long Han said to himself, a look of regret appearing on his face.

"Ancient jade talismans? I didn't expect the Luanming Sect to have such treasures. I presume the methods of other sects in the Heaven Dao Alliance will not let us down either. The only thing to worry about now is those black-robed people and the gambling battle. Brother Yi, the cultivation techniques used by those black-robed people are also demonic cultivation techniques. Can you not accurately identify the origin of their cultivation techniques, Fellow Daoist?" Supreme Master Brother Zhiyang pondered for a moment before asking hesitantly.

"Hmph! If they practice demonic cultivation techniques, I should recognize them. Those black-robed people's cultivation technique characteristics, I heard from the Nine Nations Alliance Fellow Daoists, and I haven't seen them with my own eyes. How can I make an accurate judgment? The only certainty is that these people's demonic arts seem to be much more refined and ingenious than our Tiannan Six Sects, and they are somewhat like the cultivation techniques of the Ghost Spirit Sect lineage," the burly man in black robes replied unhappily.

"Ghost Spirit Sect? The specific number of these black-robed people is unknown, but there were seven or eight of them who appeared in the Battle of Tianyi City, and they were all Nascent Soul cultivators. This is clearly a cultivator of the same sect. A sect that can possess so many demonic cultivators is only that nation's demonic sect. Could it truly be from Great Jin?" Supreme Master Brother Zhiyang analyzed, his expression turning gloomy.

Hearing Supreme Master Brother Zhiyang's words, no one showed any surprise; it seemed they all had this guess.

"Hmph! So what if they are Jin Nation cultivators? Looking at this group of black-robed people hiding and sneaking around, with a ghostly appearance, interfering in our Tiannan cultivation world's affairs, it must be just one of the demonic sects, or even just the intention of some people in this demonic sect. What is there to be afraid of? Just treat them as Dharma Masters and pretend not to know," the red-shirted beautiful woman who had been silent suddenly spoke. Her voice was cold, but crisp and pleasant.

"What the Phoenix Lady said is reasonable. Even if it is truly the full support of a certain demonic sect from Jin Nation for the Mulan people, the enemy we face is just a bit stronger; could it be that we would give up Tiannan to them?" Supreme Master Brother Zhiyang agreed.

"That is true. But Jin Nation cultivators, regardless of cultivation techniques or treasures, are stronger than our Tiannan cultivators; this is beyond doubt. If these demonic cultivators participate in tomorrow's gambling battle and do something underhanded in secret, this will be somewhat tricky. Jin Nation's cultivation techniques and secret arts are numerous, and there are many that are hard to guard against," the Hehuan Old Demon said solemnly.

"It doesn't matter. I have already considered this point. Do you still remember our Taizhen Sect's 'Restriction-Breaking Bead'?"

"Restriction-Breaking Bead! That kind of one-time magic tool for breaking restrictions. Isn't this kind of thing only useful for low-tier restrictions? Moreover, the barrier during the gambling battle requires a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to spend some effort to break it. What use can that kind of magic tool have?" Long Han asked in surprise.
