Jiang Han emerged from the stone chamber after a month of seclusion, having thoroughly organized his martial arts training and confirmed that he had reached the limits of his current abilities.
"Master!"
Wei Yixiao, who had been pacing anxiously outside the stone chamber, hurried forward as the door slowly opened. "Congratulations on your significant progress in power, Master!"
Of course, he lacked the insight to discern Jiang Han's exact level of strength, but flattering words were something anyone could manage.
Jiang Han frowned. "What is it?"
He had instructed that unless there was a major issue, the senior members of Manichaeism could make decisions on their own. Judging by Wei Yixiao's demeanor, it was clear he hadn’t been waiting long.
"Reporting to the Master, my subordinate and Envoy Yang have conducted thorough investigations over several days and discovered that our Light Right Envoy, Fan Yao, has been deeply entangled with Heavenly Union for three years! Furthermore, among the Six Major Sects that besieged Bright Summit, aside from those from Wudang, Shaolin, and Emei who returned to the Central Plains, all other sect members have been captured by Heavenly Union’s ambush. Xiong Ba is currently torturing them to extract information about their sect's cultivation methods!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Han's expression turned cold. "It seems Heavenly Union has quite ambitious designs!"
With a wave of his sleeve, he instructed Wei Yixiao, "Tell the disciples to ring the bell and summon everyone for a meeting. We must discuss a plan; we cannot just stand by and watch as our Holy Church's right envoy falls into captivity without offering help!"
His voice was icy, chilling to the bone, filled with unmatched killing intent!
Heavenly Union's blatant actions had undoubtedly crossed his bottom line; he was eager to eliminate this threat swiftly.
"Yes!" Wei Yixiao trembled slightly and replied respectfully, then hurriedly left to prepare for the meeting at the Bright Summit Great Hall.
Many high-ranking officials gathered together. Jiang Han spoke coldly, "Everyone knows the situation. Now let's share our thoughts."
Yin Tianzheng stepped forward with a fierce aura, cupping his hands towards Jiang Han, then stood with his hands behind his back, turning to address the assembly below: "Since the Heavenly Union dares to imprison our Light Right Envoy, they are our Holy Church's number one enemy. If we do not give them an unforgettable lesson, how will the world ever take our Holy Church seriously?!"
Yin Tianzheng is a staunch pro-war faction member! When he was the leader of the Sky Eagle Sect, he had to be cautious and consider many factors. But now that he has returned to Manichaeism, he sees himself as a sharp blade in the hands of the leader.
The Carefree Immortal Duo usually did not involve themselves much in affairs, but they also stood up at this moment to make their stance clear: "During these years of decline for Manichaeism, the Heavenly Union has been aggressively swallowing up smaller sects, and their strength has repeatedly surged. If we do not interrupt this trend, they may one day take advantage of us and disrespect our Holy Church!"
After speaking, they immediately stepped back.
Jiang Han nodded slightly and looked at everyone below. "What about you? What are your thoughts?"
Yang Xiao knew he could not avoid this and stepped forward: "Xiong Ba is ambitious and cunning! This time capturing the Six Major Sects and interrogating them about martial arts may just be one aspect. The main goal is likely to provoke a conflict between our Holy Church and the Six Major Sects, allowing him to profit from it and become a great hero in the Western Regions.
If the Six Major Sects fully engage with our church, it will likely result in mutual destruction. At that time, the Heavenly Union will come out to clean up the mess and will undoubtedly gain the admiration and fear of people in the Western Regions while seizing the opportunity to swallow up our Manichaeism."
After Yang Xiao's analysis, even the most stubborn individuals understood Xiong Ba's intentions, gritting their teeth and cursing incessantly. Jiang Han's gaze also turned cold as he said lightly, "Xiong Ba's calculations are indeed clever, but unfortunately..."
The Five Scatterers—Leng Qian, Peng Yingyu, Zhou Dian, and Zhang Zhong—stepped forward in unison. "We report to the leader that Xiong Ba practices a martial art known as Three Parts Return to Original Qi, an Earth-Level Advanced Martial Arts. This martial art is mysterious and has limitless potential. If he integrates enough martial essence, he could very likely advance to Heavenly Tier Martial Arts. Currently, Xiong Ba is merely a Half-Step Martial Arts Grandmaster, yet he is so arrogant. If he were to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster, it would be difficult for our sect to find someone who can contend with him when the leader is away."
Tang Yang, the Flood Flag Banner Master, stepped forward and cupped his hands in respect. "I report to the leader that in recent years, the strength of Heavenly Union has expanded rapidly, far surpassing that of ordinary Second-rate Sects and approaching first-rate powers. If Xiong Ba becomes a Martial Arts Grandmaster, he may be willing to ally with others against our Manichaeism."
The White Tiger Hall master, High Mountain King, pointed out the key issue: "Surely the Central Plains Martial Arts World has already concluded that other sects have been detained or harmed by us Manichaeism. Especially since we decisively eradicated the Kunlun Sect, many will become wary of us. If someone stirs up trouble and frames us before our Holy Church, we will find it difficult to breathe and will face even greater oppression from the Central Plains Martial Arts World."
There was no way around it; although the Western Regions had vast territory, it was too barren compared to the Central Plains and lacked abundant natural resources. The endless white snow might have been suitable for winter tourism in later years, but such thoughts were futile at this time.
Jiang Han exerted a bit of force in his hand, causing his teacup to shatter with a crack and turn into powder. He made a decisive decision: "Send my orders; immediately sound the drums and march on Heavenly Union!"
