Chapter 901: a.n.a.lyzing the Battle Situation, Key Suggestion

Editor: Henyee Translations

The message instantly diminished the joy of victory among everyone.

The demon beast race’s aggressive onslaught this time had nearly pushed them into a precarious situation.

Among the nine major domains’ defensive forces, the Eastern Sky Domain boasted a particularly strong lineup with the Haoran Sect, Thunderclap Valley, the Qian Family, and the Feitian Gate as its four major superpowers.

Although the Eastern Sky Domain is the largest area among the nine major domains, the size of a domain isn’t the key factor in its defense.

Other domains, though smaller, could face defeat if they were countered by the enemy’s attributes or lacked the capability for siege warfare, which many cultivators are not accustomed to, as their primary focus is usually on dueling techniques.

Cultivators with extensive battle experience like Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan are rare.

According to the message received, some barriers had already been breached.

Fortunately, timely support from allies and the fact that their enemies were not demon beasts that excelled in physical combat prevented a complete rout, allowing them to barely maintain their defense lines.

Moreover, the challenges faced by the Floodgate Realm weren’t limited to external threats…

“Everyone, please rest for now. We can discuss matters tomorrow,” Jiang Chengxuan decided after some thought, suggesting that everyone take a break.

Even cultivators, not being machines, need time to recover.

After exchanging a few courteous words, everyone returned to their respective quarters, leaving only Shen Ruyan and Jiang Chengxuan behind.

“Let’s go check on our fellow sect members, Ruyan.”

“Okay.”

The two didn’t head straight to rest.

As the leaders appointed by their sect for this war, they had many arrangements to attend to.

Together, they visited the various sects within the Eastern Sky Domain to a.s.sess the post-battle situation.

Old acquaintances like Xie Xiangyao, Wen Tao, Shen Xueshenjun, and Yue Chanjuan had also partic.i.p.ated in the battle.

Everyone was safe, exchanging brief greetings with one another.

It wasn’t until sunset and the moonrise that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan finished their inspection, gathering more information about the other domains from various sources.

The situation was far from optimistic.

Many domains were still struggling, especially those that had already been plagued by eldars, demon beasts and deepsea nomads since time immemorial.

It was not difficult to guess who was doing it.

“These traitors are indeed putting their best efforts…”

Shen Ruyan remarked coldly.

She and Jiang Chengxuan had always had a poor opinion of these foreign races, having had numerous conflicts with them before.

“Yes… Let’s rest for now. We’ll discuss with the other sects tomorrow.”

…

In the Haoran Sect’s temporary headquarters, the council hall was once again filled with representatives from various sects.

“Elders, first, I would like to congratulate us on our temporary victory in the war against the demon beast race,” began Jiang Chengxuan.

“However, as you all are aware, the situation in the other domains is not so optimistic.”

He then opened the floor for discussion.

“In the face of the request for help from the other domains, I wonder what you think? You can speak freely.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chengxuan first explained the situation with Shen Ruyan.

He explained the situation of the other eight remains to the elders.

Other than the places guarded by powerful sects, such as the Pantheon Sect.

The other domains were at a disadvantage.

“And, as you may know, some domains have been facing mysterious disruptions. I’m sure we all have an idea of who’s behind this,” he continued.

“The culprits are none other than the traitors among the foreign races.

It’s been proven time and again that such beings cannot be trusted,” stated the elder from the Qian Family, a seasoned Dao Integration cultivator well-versed in many secrets.

Throughout the long history of the Floodgate Realm, the demon beasts, deepsea nomads, and eldars have always been restless, constantly causing trouble.

“Elder Qian is right. These foreign races are too brazen. Previously, I knew that they were the ones who leaked the discovery of the new world to the other realms, which sparked the war. Now, they actually did such a treasonous thing.”

Saint Sky Walker from the Feitian Gate added.

Leng Yuehua also nodded in agreement, saying,

“In my view, these foreign races must be eradicated. They have shown their fangs and will only pose a threat if left unchecked.”

“I agree with eliminating these parasites,” said another.

Soon, everyone voiced their support.

The foreign races had been domineering within the Floodgate Realm for too long, now acting as traitors and inciting public outrage.

This was precisely the outcome Jiang Chengxuan hoped to see.

Even if they didn’t attack, these foreign races wouldn’t have a reason to be kept alive after the battle ended.

It was better to strike now, eliminating internal threats before a full-scale war erupted.

Moreover, there was no reason not to make such a contribution.

“Good. This is exactly what Ruyan and I had in mind,” Jiang Chengxuan said, seizing the moment.

“With the critical state of cross-realm conflict and these foreign races still causing trouble, let’s take this chance to catch them off guard while we have a momentary breather.”

Nods of agreement followed his proposal, aligning everyone on a unified course of action.

Jiang Chengxuan continued his a.n.a.lysis,

“The demon beasts, deepsea nomads, and eldars came prepared this time, which is why we can’t continue to be on the defensive.

They may already have some information about us, so we need to take the initiative to change our strategy and disrupt their plans.”

His words immediately gained the approval of the high-level representatives from various sects.

Warfare is about deceit and seizing the initiative, valuing adaptability and the element of surprise.

Jiang Chengxuan’s insight was clear to all—seeking change and taking the initiative are always right, as long as the direction is correct.

Gradually, in this battle against the demon beast race, those who had previously underestimated Jiang Chengxuan had to acknowledge his capabilities.

Whether in terms of strength or strategy, this emerging talent from the Haoran Sect, the young Vice Sect Master of the Floodgate Realm, proved to be not just a figurehead but genuinely skilled and resourceful.

To outsiders, it became apparent that the future Sect Master of the Haoran Sect might very well be this member of the younger generation.

“Let’s vote, everyone. If you agree to join forces to purge the Floodgate Realm of foreign races, please raise your hand,” Jiang Chengxuan proposed.

“I’ll report our discussion’s outcome to the sect for final approval.”

With that, everyone decided to take advantage of the temporary respite to launch a surprise attack on the foreign races within the Floodgate Realm.

Given that the sects have Mahayana Daolords, reporting this proposal would likely receive their support, whether it’s approved or not.

“Excellent! I’ll immediately send our proposal to my Shifu and the others,” Jiang Chengxuan stated solemnly, then dismissed the meeting.

Whether this plan was appropriate would ultimately depend on the decision of his Shifu, Qin Shenwu.
