Chapter 3854 This brat is not worth plotting with!
Inside the Great Luo Immortal Court.
A mystical light emanated from the divine power, and Luo Cunzhen's figure appeared there.
Pei Chengyue looked at the figure in the light and said, "Fellow Daoist Jingxu, the news that the Seven Profound Dao Sect has damaged the reputation of your Holy Land in the battle of the Imperial City has spread far and wide."
Upon hearing this, Luo Cunzhen's expression clearly turned somewhat unpleasant.
In this regard.
Pei Chengyue seemed to ignore it and continued, "This matter is not only about your reputation, but also about the reputation of the entire Taihua Holy Land."
If you have any ideas, fellow Daoist, the Great Luo Immortal Court can join forces with the Taihua Holy Land to deal with the Seven Profound Dao Sect.
"With the combined strength of our two families, dealing with a mere Seven Profound Dao Sect is more than enough!"
Upon hearing this...
Luo Cunzhen remained silent for a long time before saying indifferently, "I believe you are aware of the strength of the Seven Mysterious Dao Lord. My injuries have not yet healed, so I am afraid I am not capable of dealing with him."
Therefore, fellow Daoist suggests that we discuss this another day!
These words were spoken.
Pei Chengyue's brows furrowed slightly.
"Right now, the Seven Profound Dao Sect is ambitious and wants to take over the entire Northern Frontier. We paid a heavy price to wipe out the Immortal Qin Dynasty. How can we let the Seven Profound Dao Sect reap the benefits now?"
Moreover, given his ambition, once he takes over the northern frontier, his next step will be to seize control of the entire world's territory.
By then, if we want to take action again, we will have to pay an even greater price—
But before Pei Chengyue could finish speaking, Luo Cunzhen interrupted him directly.
"My injuries have not yet healed, and I have no time to worry about anything else. The Great Luo Immortal Court has a strong foundation, and even without my Taihua Holy Land, I believe that dealing with a Seven Profound Dao Sect would not be a problem."
However, that Seven Mysterious Dao Lord is no ordinary being; fellow Daoist, you must be cautious.
Done.
Then the mysterious light dissipated, and Luo Cunzhen's figure disappeared.
Seeing this scene.
Pei Chengyue flew into a rage: "This brat is not worth discussing anything with!!"
He never expected that the Taihua Holy Land would dare not attack the Seven Profound Dao Sect again.
Not long ago.
Pei Chengyue sent people to contact the Yanxu Holy Land and the Taihua Holy Land respectively.
As a result, the former made excuses, and not long afterward, news came that the Yanxu Holy Land had withdrawn from the Northern Frontier, which angered him.
Even so, Pei Chengyue was still able to restrain himself.
After all, in his view, losing one Yanxu Holy Land was not a big deal. If they could join forces with Taihua Holy Land, then dealing with the Seven Profound Dao Sect would still be no problem.
Although Luo Cunzhen's strength was damaged, the foundation of the Taihua Holy Land was still there and should not be underestimated.
In addition, given that in the previous battle in the Imperial City, that Seven Mysterious Dao Lord had completely humiliated the entire Taihua Holy Land, Pei Chengyue never considered the possibility that the other party might refuse.
But even now.
Luo Cunzhen's personal refusal naturally enraged Pei Chengyue.
It's one thing for the Yanxu Holy Land to refuse, since they don't have much of a grudge against the Seven Profound Dao Sect. But the Taihua Holy Land has already lost face, and yet it still doesn't dare to make a move. How can people not be angry?
Upon seeing this, many cultivators below hurriedly lowered their heads, fearing that this person's anger would affect them.
but.
At this moment, some cultivators mustered their courage and stepped forward, clasping their hands in a fist and saying, "Commander, the Taihua Holy Land is now afraid to fight. What should we do?"
These words were spoken.
Pei Chengyue's anger subsided slightly, but his eyes remained icy cold.
"If Old Man Jingxu doesn't dare to make a move, then so be it. What is there for our Great Luo Immortal Court to fear from a mere Seven Profound Dao Sect?"
"If they want to annex the Northern Frontier, let's see if the Seven Profound Dao Sect has the strength!"
retreat?
That's impossible to get a refund!
The Great Luo Immortal Court had finally destroyed the Immortal Qin Dynasty and swallowed up a large territory. If it were to abandon the Northern Frontier at this time, the loss would be considerable.
But more importantly...
This matter concerns my personal reputation.
Therefore, no matter what, we cannot lose northern Xinjiang.
but--
In the current situation, Pei Chengyue has not said anything on the surface, but he is secretly somewhat wary of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.
If other forces do not join forces with him, and he has to face the Seven Profound Dao Sect on his own with only the Great Luo Immortal Court, even if he can win, the price he will have to pay will probably be considerable.
At that time, other forces might reap the benefits.
For this reason, Pei Chengyue did not immediately order the troops to be dispatched, but instead strengthened the defenses on all sides while keeping an eye on news from the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect.
……
the other side.
Inside the sacred site of Taihua.
As Luo Cunzhen dispelled the mystical light, the hall fell silent for a moment.
A moment later, Yun Shuzi spoke up and asked, "Why does the Supreme Elder disagree with Pei Chengyue's proposal? If our two forces join forces, it's not impossible to deal with the Seven Profound Dao Sect."
The other cultivators also looked puzzled upon hearing this.
In their view, the Holy Land had lost so much face this time that the matter could not be left unresolved.
If we can destroy the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect, that would be a good thing.
But this refusal is somewhat puzzling.
Luo Cunzhen's expression was indifferent: "Pei Chengyue is extremely ambitious. Cooperating with him is like asking a tiger for its skin. I am currently seriously injured and my strength is less than half of what it was at its peak. It is not safe for me to get involved in this matter."
Moreover, that Seven Mysterious Dao Lord is no ordinary person.
Even if the real person and Pei Chengyue joined forces, they might not be a match for him.
"Now that the Taihua Holy Land has abandoned the Northern Frontier, it can still control other territories. So why should it fight to the death with the Seven Profound Dao Sect for a mere inch of land in the Northern Frontier?"
From beginning to end.
Luo Cunzhen didn't care much about saving face.
To be precise, when it comes to the interests of the Holy Land, face is not worth mentioning.
The Battle of the Imperial City.
Upon revisiting the matter, Luo Cunzhen realized that the Seven Mysterious Dao Lord's strength was far from simple, and that he did not rely solely on his supreme treasure.
It's hard to say.
The opponent still has other cards to play.
In contrast, I am different.
In that battle, his protective treasure was destroyed, and he himself was severely injured, leaving him with less than half of his peak strength. If he were to truly face this person, defeat and death would be highly probable.
Also.
Even if they manage to win by sheer luck, the Great Luo Immortal Court will still be a hidden danger.
Based on Luo Cunzhen's understanding of that Tian Ce Army Commander, the latter was ruthless and unscrupulous. If the other party wanted to join forces with Taihua Holy Land, it was probably not just to deal with the Seven Profound Dao Sect.
If the other party stabs them in the back afterward, that would be enough to make Taihua Holy Land suffer a lot.
This is different from when they joined forces to deal with the Immortal Qin Dynasty.
that time.
There was also the Yanxu Holy Land, forming a tripartite balance of power, which prevented the Great Luo Immortal Court from making too many moves. But now things are different.
"in addition--"
"It is said that the Yanxu Holy Land has withdrawn from the Northern Frontier. Wen Yuan is a cautious person, and his departure from the Northern Frontier now shows that he does not want to confront the Seven Profound Dao Sect."
In that case, why should our holy land be the one to stick its neck out?
If the Great Luo Immortal Court wants war, then let it be war. It's a good opportunity for the Great Luo Immortal Court to test the strength of the Seven Profound Dao Sect.
"If the time is right, we might even have a chance to retake the northern frontier!"
Finally, Luo Cunzhen said one more thing.
These words were spoken.
Everyone's expressions were knowing.
Looking at the expressions of the many cultivators below, Luo Cunzhen still had something to say.
All of this stemmed from his unwillingness to take risks.
With his strength now diminished, he could perish at any moment if he were to fight against a force like the Seven Profound Dao Sect.
Luo Cunzhen naturally didn't want to take any risks until the very last moment.
He had spent countless years cultivating to this point, and his entry into the Ancient Immortal Realm was to seek an opportunity for further advancement, not to lose his life here.
No matter how good the northern border is, nothing is more important than one's own life.
This is different from the battle of the Imperial City.
that time.
Luo Cunzhen truly fought to the death.
After all, if they couldn't get that Seven Mysterious Dao Lord to retreat, he would inevitably perish on the spot. Only by fighting to the death could they have a chance of survival.
In the face of a life-or-death crisis, anything can be sacrificed.
But the situation was different then than it is now.
Luo Cunzhen understood these words in his heart, but he would not say them aloud.
"Furthermore, the three months that the Seven Profound Dao Sect mentioned earlier are almost up. Right now, the Holy Land should withdraw as needed. The Northern Frontier is a place of trouble, and there is no need to get too involved."
"We obey!"
……
Taihua Holy Land is moving quickly.
Shen Changqing originally gave a three-month deadline, but now, less than two months later, the other side has already ordered people to evacuate from northern Xinjiang.
Although the Taihua Holy Land operates in secrecy, such things cannot be concealed.
Soon.
The news of the withdrawal from the Taihua Holy Land spread.
With the Yanxu Holy Land abandoning the Northern Frontier and the Taihua Holy Land withdrawing, of the three major forces, only the Daluo Immortal Court has remained completely inactive.
Upon hearing this news, many independent cultivators who occupied certain immortal cities in the northern border region felt a sense of unease.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the former two left the Northern Frontier entirely because they were wary of the Seven Mysteries Dao Sect.
At times like this.
If he didn't leave, the army of the Seven Profound Dao Sect might arrive at any moment and crush his forces.
Most rogue cultivators would leave on their own initiative when it came to matters concerning their lives and fortunes. Only a few, seeing that the Great Luo Immortal Court was not taking any action, stayed behind to observe the changing situation.
News from the vast northern frontier was gradually reaching Shen Changqing.
The movements of all the various forces could not be kept from his ears.
"It seems things haven't gone as badly as they should have. With the departure of the Yanxu Holy Land and the Taihua Holy Land, only the Great Luo Immortal Court remains!"
Shen Changqing looked at the message that came in and smiled faintly.
The battle in the Imperial City shattered the morale of the Taihua Holy Land, which is why they left the Northern Frontier so decisively.
Of course.
Shen Changqing was equally aware of this.
This is also related to the Yanxu Holy Land.
If the Yanxu Holy Land hadn't left first, the Taihua Holy Land might not have left so decisively.
After all, if the three major forces join forces, the Taihua Holy Land might have some other ideas.
But now.
They left the Sacred Land of Yanxu.
Taihua Holy Land is also temporarily avoiding the limelight.
Only the Great Luo Immortal Court remained completely still.
Shen Changqing already understood that the Seven Profound Dao Sect and the Great Luo Immortal Court were bound to have a battle. As long as the Great Luo Immortal Court could be dealt with, there would be no more obstacles to taking over the Northern Frontier.
