Chapter 581: Chapter 368 – Help_1
All the local lords and sect leaders believed it. The blood-letter was evidence enough, and besides, Cain Scarlet had no reason to fabricate such a lie. For a moment everyone was frowning in distress. Could they really stand against the aggressive onslaught of Demonic Sky Gate?
One sect leader let out a bitter smile and shook his head: “We are no match for Demonic Sky Gate. They have the assistance of the Holy See, how can we, a group of quasi-saints, compare to them?”
“This battle is inevitable.” Cain Scarlet stated righteously. Even if they were willing to give ground now, Demonic Sky Gate would not let it go.
Sandy Wexler also spoke up at this time, agreeing, “Indeed, after planning for so long, they will not give up until they destabilize several major territories. And the seven major sects are not out of their sights either.”
“Demonic Sky Gate is not targeting a single force, but the sect’s reserves of spirit stones have run out and they can’t sustain their more than ten thousand disciples any longer. They must seize the resources of all three major territories in one fell swoop. Whether you are willing to fight or not, Demonic Sky Gate cannot wait any longer.”
Tanner Scarlet resolutely urged, “I’ve been in the Demonic Sky Gate for ten years, I know the score. They’re having a hard time. If they don’t get new spirit stones within a month, forget about the dissatisfaction of over ten thousand disciples, even their food will become an issue.”
“Since it is for resources, why don’t we step back?” someone suddenly suggested. If Demonic Sky Gate does not intend to overthrow the major territories, perhaps it could be seen as a good thing. After all, it showed that there still was some room for maneuvering. There’s no need for an open confrontation, right?
Some expressed their agreement, also saying, “It’s just spirit stones, after all. With all our powers combined, if each of us gives some to Demonic Sky Gate, wouldn’t we avoid a large-scale war? It’s a win-win situation.”
“Demonic Sky Gate is a demon path, how can we submit to them?” Sandy Wexler listened and was dumbfounded with disbelief. These powerful entities, who usually considered themselves above everybody, were contemplating compromise in the face of aggressive actions by Demonic Sky Gate.
“It’s not submitting, but rather a temporary reprieve. Instead of causing a battle and causing a devastation, a compromise is better. After all, we’re too big to care about such trifles.”
Many rebutted, unwilling to fight with Demonic Sky Gate: “”Why must we fight to the death against the Demonic Sky Gate, who are not afraid to die? It’s just the dissatisfaction of the three of you leading lords. As for the seven major sects, we would not suffer any loss.”
Samuel Westman, one of the three leading lords, sneered: “Are you deceiving yourselves? Would Demonic Sky Gate give up because of a few spirit stones you give? What they want is all the spirit stones, and even to include all our forces into their sphere of influence. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have planned for so long.”
“Indeed, the seven major sects can stay out of it. But once we three leading lords are gone, Demonic Sky Gate will surely turn on you.”
The tone of Sandy Wexler was heavy as he looked at the seven major sect heads: “Can you compromise for one year, ten years? The power of Demonic Sky Gate is growing constantly. The longer we drag on, the more passive we will become. It’s rather better to make a decisive action now when our chances of winning are greater.”
“The Demonic Sky Gate is located in harsh, resourceless lands, survival depends on plundering from others. This time, they want to solve the problem once and for all, and not just by giving them spirit stones. Otherwise, they would have asked for them from the leading lords long ago. ”
Seeing that everyone was arguing, Tanner Scarlet felt very anxious: “Everyone, hear me out. After all, I managed to escape from the Demonic Sky Gate alive. You all have gathered no less than thirty thousand people, most of them are from the Transcendent Tier, and the Throne Strong Individuals number over a thousand.”
With this strength, they can sweep away all resistance. Why would they compromise with them? Even if those powers are willing to give out some spirit stones, given the consumption rate of Demonic Sky Gate it would last at most a year or two. Their only way out is to fight.
“To put it bluntly, we three major lords can step aside anyway. After all, we only need to close the city gates, and each of us has a city-protecting array. Even if the Holy See of Demonic Sky Gate makes a move, it will take ten days to half a month to break through the array.”
Cain Scarlet glanced around and snorted: “And you seven major sects will be the first to suffer. Your sect’s spirit stones are not few. Actually, we three major lords don’t have many resources since a large part of the spirit stones has to be distributed to the cultivators in the city.”
This hit the nail on the head, and the faces of the sect leaders in the field turned pale. If this happens as Cain Scarlet said, they would be doomed. The situation is different for a sect and a lord; the sect is a place to accumulate spirit stones, and the disciples of the sect need regular practice to acquire them.
“Join forces to deal with Demonic Sky Gate.” The major sect leaders spoke in unison, having thought everything through. The reason they wanted to submit to Demonic Sky Gate was that they thought they would be the least affected. They wanted the three major lords to deploy large forces and fight Demonic Sky Gate to mutual destruction.
Logan, who was watching the spectacle, had a playful smirk on his face. He still thought that these sect leaders would continue to be fools and let Demonic Sky Gate defeat them one by one!
“The Scarlet clan will send out thirty strong dominators, two hundred thrones, and five thousand transcendent, and also put out three million spirit stones as war supplies.”
Seeing the agreement for a united front, Cain Scarlet was the first to declare: “The other two lords should not dispatch fewer troops than the Scarlet Clan. As for the seven major sects, you can contribute half of ours. And the dozens of small sects outside, do as much as you can.”
“Agreed.” Sandy Wexler took over the conversation: “The Wexler Clan has undergone turmoil a few days ago, so we do not have many people. Everyone knows this well. So we’re sending out twenty strong dominators, five hundred thrones, five thousand transcendent, and ten million spirit stones!”
