Chapter 1067: Chapter 423: Luo Chen’s Three Strategies, Alliance and Maneuvering

”A poor strategy is to attack the Flame Alliance.”

”A mediocre strategy is to merge our sect into the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect, or perhaps seek an Ascendant Sect in the Foreign Realm to rely on.”

”A superior strategy is to restart the Open War.”

Inside Qingyun Hall, a clear female voice chimed like bell beads.

Under the watchful eyes of several Golden Core Ascendant Masters, Tao Wen spoke these three strategies somewhat nervously.

After finishing, she quietly stood with her hands tied, waiting for what would follow.

Inside the hall.

After hearing these three strategies, discussions arose instantly.

”Absurd talk, how can these three strategies resolve our troubles in Qingdan Valley?”

”She’s ultimately from a Rogue Cultivator background, a naive child talking big.”

”I, however, feel that there are one or two feasible points among these three strategies.”

”What feasible points? How can our Qingdan Valley, just a mere Golden Core Sect, initiate an Open War?”

”Attacking the Flame Alliance, now that our own Qingdan Valley is barely managing on its own, how can we rashly stir up trouble!”

”But that’s not how it is said, there must be some calculation behind it.”

...

”Sect Leader, what do you think?”

Eventually, all eyes turned to Sect Leader Qing Yunzi.

Though his realm was low, he was indeed the leader of the sect.

Especially since the messenger Tao Wen, who now also belonged under Qingyun Peak, should have the final say.

Facing numerous gazes, Qing Yunzi, who recently seemed to have aged more, sighed.

”What do I think?”

”These three strategies, apart from the last one, haven’t you all discussed them recently as well?”

The crowd nodded slightly.

Indeed, these ideas had been mentioned internally.

But no consensus was reached, so arguments continued unabated.

”However, being in the midst of things, there are some matters we ultimately cannot see clearly.”

”Tao Wen, you might as well elucidate Luo Chen’s three strategies one by one, perhaps borrowing his perspective as an outsider to give us some enlightenment.”

Facing Qing Yunzi’s earnest gaze.

Tao Wen swallowed her saliva, recalling Luo Chen’s words, and detailed them precisely:

”The inferior strategy to attack the Flame Alliance, pointless in the future, but currently, it can stabilize the people of Qingdan Valley. He boldly stated that unnoticed by us, Qingdan Valley now harbors uneasy minds and troubled spirits. Also, among the vassal powers outside Qingdan Valley, some have liaisons with Luo Yun Sect, seeking alternatives.”

”If we don’t stabilize the people’s hearts now, Qingdan Valley might not even wait for external enemies; internal chaos might erupt first, disaster rising from within.”

Upon saying this.

Among the Ascendant Masters present, some disregarded it while others’ expressions drastically changed.

”Exaggerated fears!”

”Without external aggression, how could our sect, both internally and externally, become disloyal and disunited.”

”That’s not how it is said, I’ve recently patrolled and inspected the renovation sites at Yuanhua Mountain and indeed found many disciples in heated discussions. A good number of them also seemed troubled, holding a pessimistic view of the future.”

”Regarding those Qingdan vassals, how many have visited our sect in recent days?”

”Indeed, their hearts are not aligned!”

”If we attack the now weakened Flame Alliance, we can definitely succeed in one battle, venting the internal conflicts. Moreover, we can use this victory to reshape the spirit of our Sect Disciples. The future is uncertain, but at least for now, it can twist the Sect Disciples into a single force.”

”No, no, sister, your words are inappropriate...”

Just as arguments seemed imminent again.

A cough echoed in the hall.

”Cough, cough...”

The crowd quieted down.

Qing Yunzi turned his head for a glance, then his gaze once again fell on Tao Wen.

”Continue!”

Tao Wen nodded.

Now her mind felt less impulsive and more composed.

Composure brought by Luo Chen!

”The mediocre strategies are two-fold, either merge our sect into Luo Yun or Sword Sect, which could resolve the mortal peril of our Sect Disciples. Moreover, we need not worry about them refusing, as no Sect would refuse the inclusion of a large number of Pill Refiners.”

”The other, seeking assistance in the Foreign Realm, could form a tripartite balance of power within the Yu Ding Realm, converting our Qingdan Valley’s financial power into combat power.”

”Thus, it might be possible to contend against Luo Yun Sect and Yu Ding Sword Sect.”

Regarding this wildly unimaginable mediocre strategy, most were resentful.

As discussions seemed likely to continue.

Qing Yunzi shook his head, ”Tao Wen, you tell us, how do you perceive these two mediocre strategies.”

”The former is an act of self-severance; our kind shall never choose it!”

Without hesitation, Tao Wen expressed her stance.

What a joke!

How could Qingdan Valley, in its right mind, merge into another sect? How would that honor our ancestors or our own efforts?

If survival was their sole goal, they would have surrendered when Sword Sect first knocked on their door.

With her such declaration, those forthcoming arguments suddenly died down.

Many people looked at her with satisfaction, displaying their admiration.

She is indeed our Sect’s Budding Cultivator!

In such crucial matters, she still held a clear perception.

Tao Wen stabilized her spirits and said, ”As for the latter, in my view, it really has a chance to stabilize the situation for the next hundred years.”

Seeing some showing skepticism.

She couldn’t help recalling Luo Chen’s words.

”Did Luo Yun Sect rise because of Han Zhan alone?”

”I think not!”

”Apart from other factors, just the Fourth Order Spirit Land required for Nascent Soul condensation, where did Han Zhan get it from?”

”Behind Luo Yun Sect, we all know, stands Tian Fan City. In other words, they too clung to the leg of an Ascendant Sect in the Foreign Realm during the Golden Core Period.”

”If they could do it, why can’t you?”

Now, Tao Wen relayed Luo Chen’s words smoothly.

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

Only Qing Yunzi let out a long sigh.
