In the Bright Summit Great Hall, Jiang Han waved his hand to have Sun Youliang taken away. The matters to be discussed next were beyond his rank to overhear.
"Let's talk about it. What direction should our Holy Church expand next?"
Jiang Han scanned the crowd, prompting them to share their thoughts.
In an instant, everyone began discussing fervently, their enthusiasm running high!
"Our weakest point is in all directions; Yunzhou's strength is the least. I think we can use it as our next breakthrough!"
"I also agree that we should move towards Yunzhou. Once we capture Yunzhou, we can trade directly with the Merchant City and acquire the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures we urgently need."
"I'm just afraid that the Merchant City won't sit idly by while our Holy Church takes Yunzhou; they will surely support Yunzhou from behind!"
"So what? The Merchant City won't intervene directly; Yunzhou will definitely not be a match for our Holy Church!"
"I'm worried that Qingzhou might also get involved. Qingzhou is not as weak as Yunzhou. If sects like Cangjian Mountain Villa, Yijian sect, Xijian Pavilion, and Ninefold Sword Sect take action, even if our Holy Church can withstand it, we will suffer significant Vital Energy losses. I think we should directly invade Yuzhou instead."
"You're talking nonsense! Yuzhou has great terror; I think it's better to invade Wei Kingdom!"
"That's a terrible idea! We just offended Western Chu; do we want to provoke Wei Kingdom as well?"
Since the rise of Manichaeism and Fortune Power, many present had felt the benefits of Fortune, experiencing significant increases in their cultivation levels. Thus, they became particularly eager about expanding their territory.
"Alright, we all know what's going on in Yuzhou, so there's no need to discuss it further."
Jiang Han waved his hand to signal them to quiet down. "As for Yanzhou, there's no need to consider it much; the Great Zhou Dynasty is not to be underestimated. Furthermore, although Wei Kingdom appears weak, they have close cooperation with the martial arts sects within their territory and always act in concert. This is a prickly hedgehog!"
"Even the Great Zhou and Great Qi do not dare to casually manipulate it when there are no interests at stake."
"Therefore, our direction for expansion actually has only one target, which is Yunzhou."
The Sect forces in Yunzhou are not complicated; there is only one Qingfeng Sect, which is quite strong among the second-tier Sects, boasting three Martial Arts Grandmasters. It is rumored that the former leader of Azure Peak Sect is nearing his end. Additionally, there are three major martial arts families: the Lu Family, the Zhao Family, and the Song Family. Both the Lu Family and the Zhao Family have a Martial Arts Grandmaster in residence, while the Song Family relies on a Forbidden Artifact to barely unleash the power of a Martial Arts Grandmaster with a Half-Step Martial Arts Grandmaster.
There are over a hundred other sects and families, large and small, but many of these smaller factions cannot even produce an Innate expert. Those at the sixth or seventh level of postnatal cultivation are considered family elders, while those at the eighth or ninth level represent top combat strength.
Yang Xiao's furrowed brow relaxed slightly as he stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the leader, Yunzhou's strength is not to be feared. Even teaming up with the marketplace would be far from a match for our Holy Church. However, I am concerned that if our Holy Church takes action against Yunzhou, it will provoke the nerves of the martial arts forces in Qingzhou!"
Qingzhou is a prosperous region for martial arts, densely populated with second-tier powers. It even has Cangjian Mountain Villa, a first-tier force, and Yijian Sect, which nearly fell from first-tier status. There are also numerous second-tier forces such as Washing Sword Pavilion, Mingjian Mountain Villa, and Ninefold Sword Sect.
The legacies of these forces are long-standing and even predate Manichaeism. Who knows what hidden cards these major sects hold? If we push them too hard and truly go to war with Manichaeism, even if Manichaeism survives, it will suffer greatly!
After all, whether it is Cangjian Mountain Villa or Yijian Sect, their reputation in the Zongwu World has always been stronger than that of Manichaeism.
Before Jiang Han could speak up, White-Browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng declared emphatically, "Isn't this simple? As long as we act quickly enough. If our Holy Church can capture Yunzhou before Qingzhou has time to react, no matter how angry Qingzhou becomes, they won't be able to fully engage in war with our Holy Church. Moreover, while Qingzhou's martial arts strength is formidable, internal conflicts are too intense; it would be extremely difficult for them to consolidate their power in a short time."
That said, it did not dispel everyone's concerns.
Master Tang Yang clasped his fists and said, "In fact, the main pressure we face from Qingzhou comes from Cangjian Mountain Villa. Although the Yijian Sect is considered a top-tier force, it has been significantly weakened since the great battle a century ago, which drained too much Vital Energy. Now, it relies entirely on Meng Changqing to maintain its facade."
His words brightened many people's expressions. While the Yijian Sect is labeled as a top sect, it is actually quite small, mainly supported by Meng Changqing.
Meng Changqing was originally ranked first in the Storm Rankings and had made a name for himself over thirty years ago by defeating twelve Martial Arts Grandmasters with a single sword strike, shocking the world! He single-handedly upheld the Yijian Sect's reputation as a top-tier force, preventing it from falling into obscurity.
At that time, there were rumors that he could advance to the Fusion Realm at any moment. However, for some unknown reason, after entering seclusion, more than thirty years have passed without any news.
Previously, Fengman Tower lowered Meng Changqing's ranking to second on the Wind and Cloud List, which was also related to his long absence from action, making it difficult to ascertain his true strength.
Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Jiang Han couldn't help but assert, "Regardless of the situation, our Holy Church should sound the Rallying Call. We must either take action or refrain from doing so; if we act, we need to seize Yunzhou with overwhelming force before Qingzhou can react! If we delay and Qingzhou's reinforcements arrive or if Xichu finishes dealing with Dazhou and Great Qi and turns their attention to us, we will be the ones in trouble!"
Everyone felt a chill at his words and responded solemnly, offering suggestions to truly set the Manichaeism war machine in motion.
