Chapter 265: The Foreseeable Collapse of the Alliance
Chapter 265: The Foreseeable Collapse of the Alliance
"When they go back, they will definitely be more resentful towards you."
"The dragon tribe's actions this time were too sudden, and no one was prepared. You suddenly went into seclusion, so it's normal for them to be unwilling to cooperate in a hurry," Yukieda said in a gentle voice, "You are too tough, which will make them unwilling to accept it."
"That's just the dissatisfaction in my heart. It's okay as long as you are willing to do it on the surface." Qin Baiqing didn't care.
She was very open-minded and didn't miss the current alliance very much. She paused and told Yukied the reality: "We formed the alliance to deal with the crisis after the fusion of small worlds. We are not of the same mind. To put it bluntly, we are just using each other."
At that time, the alliance was weak and needed to work together to deal with the three major families here, so they had no choice but to stick together for warmth.
However, as more and more people in the alliance have breakthroughs in their cultivation, the current alliance is no longer as solid as it was at the beginning. Everyone is united in appearance but divided in spirit, and the only reason they are still holding on is that the strength of the major sects is not enough to fight against the three major human forces, including the demon race and Duan Yao, on their own.
but……
"It's different now."
She said in a clear voice, "This crisis was caused by the dragon clan, and it is targeting the entire cultivation world. In the process, it will definitely disrupt the current balance of the cultivation world. Perhaps after the crisis is over, it is time for the alliance to disband."
The balance between humans and demons has been broken. Without the imminent crisis, the alliance has no reason to exist, so naturally everyone wants to dominate the world.
The collapse of the alliance was almost foreseeable.
"However, it is rare that the world of cultivation is united as one now. It would be a shame to disband like this." Yukieda looked a little dejected.
She knew about the struggles among the major sects in the past. After joining the alliance, she sincerely hoped that the alliance would remain stable. Such a stable cultivation world would be most friendly to the lower-level cultivators and would also be beneficial to the entire cultivation world.
Even though she knew that what Qin Baiqing said was true, Xingzhi couldn't hide her disappointment. Falling back into reality all of a sudden was too cruel.
"This is inevitable..." She sighed softly, allowing herself to silently accept the impending changes.
The aura emanating from his body also became somewhat oppressive, which made Qin Baiqing suddenly remember that Xingzhi's current cultivation was still too weak.
"It's time for you to go to the small world for retreat," she suggested, "The sect is under the care of me... and Xiao Xingyun. If you retreat now to improve your cultivation, you will have more means to protect yourself in the future." Although being in Xinghai Sect is almost the safest.
Hearing this, Yukieda just shook her head.
"I can feel that even if I go into seclusion now, it won't be very useful to me. Instead of forcing it, it's better to let nature take its course. I can also contribute more to the sect."
She smiled at Qin Baiqing with relief and said gratefully: "Xingzhi can have the current cultivation level thanks to the care of the elders. There is no need to force the rest. It is fate. I believe that the elders will lead us through the difficulties. Xingzhi still has to share the worries for the sect."
He calmly accepted the impending turmoil in the city, placed all his trust in Qin Baiqing, and waited for the future.
After bidding farewell to Xingzhi, Qin Baiqing set out again with Xiao Xingyun and arrived at the border of the dragon clan. They saw the increasingly solid formation and the polluted spiritual energy around them.
This was the anomaly that the three major forces of the human race wanted to explore.
The formation gradually corresponded to the formation diagram in Qin Baiqing's mind. She observed carefully towards the border and soon sensed another familiar breath in the distance chasing towards her direction.
The ice is like colored glass, and there is a faint sense of transcendence in the spiritual breath, and the ethereal tune of the guzheng chasing the moon can be heard in the distance.
Fairy Guanghan is here too! "Alliance leader, how are you?" She floated over from afar and said to Qin Baiqing straight to the point: "I was investigating here, and after sensing your presence, I rushed to meet you. Under our observation these days, we have confirmed that this formation has formed a barrier, and only people can enter but not leave."
The person they sent to gather information never returned.
"And the formation covers the entire dragon clan territory, so... we have no way of knowing the news inside at the moment."
"No problem," Qin Baiqing withdrew his gaze from observing the formation, and with some confidence in his heart, he said to Fairy Guanghan: "I have a way to open the formation, but I must gather nine senior masters with divine transformation cultivation to meet the conditions, and..."
She paused, realizing that the next condition might be difficult: "Also, it must be coordinated from within."
This means that these nine powerful beings must step into the inner world of the Dragon Clan, where no one knows the true situation. No one can predict the crisis that may arise, and each family may be unwilling to do so.
There are six levels in the realm of spirit refining, from spirit condensation, spirit gathering, spirit pill, spirit transformation, spirit decline... and after that is the top level of tribulation transcendence. There are already very few top cultivators in the spirit transformation period, and these nine people need to be gathered from various families.
The three sects can afford it, but they may not be willing to do so.
"I understand." Fairy Guanghan saw Qin Baiqing's worry.
She nodded solemnly, and said with a heavy heart: "I will try my best to persuade the other two families to consider the solution of the leader, but it will take time."
I'm afraid that even if we can reach an agreement, there will be some wrangling.
"We don't have much time," Qin Baiqing pursed her lips, and solemnly put away the sacrificial formation diagram she had been studying these days, and said: "This is my sincerity. The authenticity of the formation diagram can be identified by someone who is proficient in formations. At that time, it will be proved that I am not aimless."
She put away the formation diagram, bound her own spiritual thoughts, and whispered the incantation, unreservedly summoning a snow-white and soft jade rabbit in Qin Baiqing's sight.
"Tu'er, bring the formation diagram back to the sect and give it to the sect leader. He will understand when he sees it."
The snow-white jade rabbit had almost the same aura as Fairy Guanghan. She held it in her arms, smoothed its fur, and then released it steadily. The rabbit's claws broke through the space and in an instant it flew a thousand miles to the Guanghan Palace above her head.
"My pet may not be good at other things, but it is extremely fast. It will soon be--"
"Ugh!" Fairy Guanghan paused, covered her heart with her hands and frowned, her breath became unstable, and she looked up at the air in disbelief.
Just a moment ago, her pet... was killed!
"My rabbit... who dares?" She murmured to herself and tried several times to reawaken her spiritual pet, but the other end of her divine consciousness was already empty, deader than dead.
There were signs of a broken connection emanating from Fairy Guanghan. Qin Baiqing guessed something from her shocked and disbelieving pupils, and silently mourned for the rabbit for a moment.
Then he took out another formation diagram and said distressedly: "This is an identical replica formation diagram. Be careful when you deliver the letter this time."
“No need.” Fairy Guanghan had given up calling for her pet. Her expression turned cold. She pushed Qin Baiqing away and said in a defensive tone, “The man who attacked my pet is an acquaintance. If I don’t deal with him, I won’t be able to send anything this time.”
The direction his eyes were looking at was right behind Qin Baiqing.
