Once Manichaeism absorbed Yunzhou, the Mall would undoubtedly face disaster.
Currently, the Mall and Yunzhou are clearly in the same boat, yet they foolishly choose to watch from the sidelines!
"I think Shang Wanli has lost his mind!" Bu Tiannan exclaimed angrily, crushing his teacup into powder. "Manichaeism is coming on strong, and instead of thinking about surviving together with Yunzhou, he still wants to do business. I reckon he won't shed a tear until he's in the coffin!"
Elder Mo hesitated to speak.
The Mall's strength was not weak; at least it was considerably stronger than their Azure Peak Sect, with more than a handful of Martial Arts Grandmasters. However, when it came to loyalty, both Azure Peak Sect and the Three Great Families were far ahead of the Mall.
Most of the Mall's strength was concentrated in the Offering Hall. The experts in the Offering Hall were mostly Loose Cultivators hired at a high price by the Mall, and they were all there for money; talking about loyalty was like joking around. Especially those above the Innate Realm could change employers at any time; as long as they didn't betray their current employer during a crisis, it would be considered good enough if they didn't bring their former employer's head as a gift to their new master.
Often, even Shang Wanli, the Mall Lord, had to treat these recruited Loose Cultivator experts politely and lacked the confidence to command them.
"What about Qingzhou? Have we received any news back?" Bu Tiannan asked anxiously, pacing back and forth with a worried expression. If they couldn't invite external support, Yunzhou would almost certainly be doomed.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, I have visited all the major and minor forces in Qingzhou, and the situation is very grim," Elder Mo said with a frown that could crush flies, looking quite troubled. "Either they don't care and don't take Manichaeism's threat seriously, or they are interested but want to extort us for some benefits, refusing to let go."
Manichaeism is far away in the Western Regions, separated from the Mall and Yunzhou; thus, the martial artists in Qingzhou do not feel a deep threat from Manichaeism. In the eyes of many martial artists in Qingzhou, the Western Regions are a barren land, and Manichaeism is just a monkey claiming kingship in the mountains—nothing to worry about.
This statement is not without basis. Even at the height of Manichaeism's history, it never posed a threat to Qingzhou. Without any personal suffering, the martial arts community in Qingzhou has no fear or concern for the so-called Manichaeism. In fact, in the eyes of some, Manichaeism has always been a typical representative of a fallen household—having the name of a first-rate power but lacking its substance.
Most who are tempted are primarily interested in the price offered by the Azure Peak Sect, believing they could profit even more! As for helping out for the sake of 'righteousness'? They might as well save their breath. After all, their base is in Qingzhou; even if Manichaeism's strength were to multiply tenfold, it would still lack the capability to attack Qingzhou!
"What about Cangjian Mountain Villa and Yijian Sect? Haven't they made any statements?" As the only two first-rate powers in Qingzhou, if they do not speak up, many martial arts sects would hesitate to act recklessly. Whether Yunzhou can survive this calamity depends on the support from these two.
In Bu Tiannan's view, even if the top experts from these two sects do not show themselves, just one outstanding disciple stepping forward to send a signal would prompt many in Qingzhou's martial arts community to lend their support to Yunzhou, whether for fame or profit!
Elder Mo slightly nodded, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. "I haven't seen Meng Changqing from Yijian Sect, but I did meet with their acting Sect Leader, Qin Wudao."
"What did Sect Leader Qin say?" Bu Tiannan asked excitedly. While it is true that Yijian Sect is no longer in its former glory, it is still considered a first-rate power. If Meng Changqing were to take action, the situation would essentially be settled!
Despite Meng Changqing not having taken action for decades, no one believes he would lose to any Grandmaster of Martial Arts at the Fusion Realm. Elder Mo understands his own leader's thoughts and sighs inwardly before clasping his fists and saying, "Mr. Qin mentioned that Yijian Sect is in a semi-sealed state and lacks both the inclination and strength to participate in the conflicts of the martial world."
Bu Tiannan's expression suddenly froze. The Yijian Sect's stance was already very clear; they would not participate in the interests entanglement between the Western Region Ming Sect and Yunzhou. As for the claim that the Yijian Sect lacked strength? That was simply a huge joke! Just Meng Changqing alone made countless major sects wary, and they did not dare to strike too hard against the Yijian Sect, which had a stronghold in Vital Energy.
Why didn't Cangjian Mountain Villa crush the Yijian Sect and become the sole overlord of Qingzhou? Was it not because they feared the Yijian Sect, worried that they might provoke those sword-crazed individuals? "Sigh, the Yijian Sect under Qin Wudao is not the same as the previous Yijian Sect," Bu Tiannan lamented. He still remembered how spirited and sharp the Yijian Sect was back in the day; if anyone spoke ill of them, the disciples of the Yijian Sect and their leaders would immediately grab their swords to confront them.
Elder Mo remained silent, but he had his own thoughts. Having entered the Yijian Sect, even if it was just a glimpse, he had a very clear understanding. Under Qin Wudao's leadership, the Yijian Sect had abandoned its former aggressive and combative style, focusing solely on diligently practicing internal skills, and their results were remarkable.
