C874 They Were Doing It for Him
"It's the mighty ones themselves!"
Lin Cheng sneered and said, "No matter how those sects behave, it doesn't matter whether they shrink back or not. No matter what, it doesn't matter if they are doing this for the sake of the billions of living beings in Dongzhou. In fact, everything they have done is to protect themselves.
However, that is only for the outside world. If they are placed in the inner circle of the sect, why are they doing this? "
After saying that, he sneered disdainfully. " In the end, the ones who were truly in charge of the sect were still the top powerhouses. All the actions of those sects are actually the embodiment of the will of those powerhouses. Therefore, in reality, those sects were cold and selfish in the eyes of the outside world. In fact, they were afraid of death and only cared about themselves. However, in reality, they did not care about everyone in the sect!
It was those powerhouses! Especially those powerful warriors who are about to break through to the Great Power Stage. This is the true purpose of those sects."
When Zhu Ziqiao heard this, she could not help but slowly nod her head.
Indeed, she had overlooked this point in the past.
She habitually regarded those sects as one. At the same time, she also habitually treated every sect as one. Perhaps there was nothing wrong with this in the outside world, but in reality, it was not the case.
Cultivation Realm was filled with intrigue, deception, and even slaughter. It was naturally impossible for all the sects in Cultivation Realm to be one.
Similarly, it was also impossible for every sect to be one sect.
If they were dealing with ordinary enemies, even if it was a powerful enemy or a powerful sect, the problem wouldn't be revealed.
For example, the three major sects in North of Dongzhou had always been against each other in the past. The competition between them was very intense. At most, they only maintained a close relationship on the surface. However, in reality, the three great sects were filled with competition and hostility. In fact, the disciples of the various sects were also engaged in a lot of fights.
The same went for the upper echelons of the sects.
There would often be experts from the sects killing each other. In the long run, hatred would accumulate deeper and deeper.
Strictly speaking, each and every one of these three sects were extremely powerful. To any sect, they would have to face two extremely powerful enemies. However, at that time, each sect would be united as one. They would be united against the other sects.
But now that he thought about it, there was a problem.
The overall strength of the three great sects was not much different from each other. If there was a big difference, it could be the foundation of the sect or the accumulation of Top Expert.
For example, because the Longevity Sect was established the latest, the number of Top Experts in the sect might not be as much as the other two sects.
But at that time, those Top Experts naturally wouldn't attack easily.
Therefore, no matter how many enemies these sects had, the ones they had to face were at most Divine Ability Stage warriors. Furthermore, there would not be many Divine Ability Stage warriors attacking them.
Because of this, even if the sect was very powerful, those sects wouldn't face a great enemy, much less a life and death crisis.
Besides, the fights between sects at that time were mostly between disciples. Moreover, it was mainly those battles that occurred outside the sect, or during every battle. It had nothing to do with the survival of the sect.
When the Longevity Sect was almost destroyed by the Myriad Sword Sect, all of this had not changed, because at that time, the Longevity Sect could no longer be considered one of the three major sects in the north, and could only struggle at death's door.
At that time, whether it was the Myriad Sword Sect or the Unification Sect, they would certainly be wary of the other party using the same method to plot against them. But in fact, this had nothing to do with the Top Expert.
Even if they died, the ones who died were the ordinary disciples.
However, it was different when they faced the Great Devil face to face.
The Great Devil was too powerful. At this time, almost all the disciples were no longer useful. Even a Divine Ability Stage disciple was no different than an ant in front of the Great Devil. The only one who was qualified to fight the devil was a mighty figure.
However, even a mighty figure was nothing in front of a devil. Perhaps it was a bit exaggerated to call an ant a mighty figure, but at least the difference in strength was huge.
Under such circumstances, if they were to fight, it would definitely be the responsibility of a mighty figure.
If there was a fight, there would definitely be people who would be heavily injured or even die. In this way, the ones who would die would be those mighty figures!
Who were those higher-beings?
They were all seniors of their respective sects, and were the ones who truly had the right to speak. As such, it was understandable why their sects were so cowardly.
If those almighty experts didn't want to die, they naturally wouldn't dare to provoke the Greater Demon. Even if they knew that once the Great Devil appeared, it would definitely become their greatest enemy. It might even cause the entire Dongzhou to be plunged into misery and suffering, but those mighty figures still chose to turn a blind eye to it. At least, they wouldn't really fight the devil with their lives on the line.
Because, once the situation reached a point where they really couldn't handle it, those ordinary disciples could only wait for death, but those powerful beings could go to other states... Even though the Prefecture Boundary had already been sealed off by the Cultivation Realm of the other provinces, it couldn't stop those almighty experts. Furthermore, those mighty experts who had sealed off the Prefecture Boundary were at most almighty experts. Naturally, they didn't dare to risk their lives.
Therefore, although the Dongzhou seemed to have no way to retreat, in reality, those powerful beings had a way to retreat. Since that was the case, how could they be willing to give up the Cultivation Level that they had obtained after so many years of hard work to fight the Great Devil?
It was not that Zhu Ziqiao did not understand this logic. It was just that in the past, she had habitually regarded the sect as a whole, so she ignored the fact that the sect was also ruled by those powerful people.
Now that she thought about it, the disciples of the sect might not necessarily be valued by those powerful beings. Otherwise, she and Lin Cheng wouldn't have suffered the same fate back in the Unification Sect.
Zhu Ziqiao couldn't help but sigh, "Usually, when there are no great enemies, those people still act like they are sanctimonious. They claim to be the rulers of the Dongzhou, but it really depends on the critical moment. They only think about themselves. "
"This is the nature of those people!"
Lin Cheng sneered and said, "Usually, they claim to be the rulers of Dongzhou. Everything they do seems to be for the sake of the billions of living beings in Dongzhou. However, when the danger comes, those people are merely ants in their eyes. They can give up at any time, including their disciples. "
"But..."
Zhu Ziqiao frowned and said, "Those people are cowardly and careful. When facing the Great Devil, they will be afraid of the Great Devil and might not be afraid of us."
Those so-called rulers of Dongzhou, because they knew how terrifying the great devil was, they did not dare to fight with their lives on the line.
However, she and Lin Cheng weren't Great Devils, and they weren't that powerful either. How could those people be afraid of them?
"They will definitely be afraid!"
Lin Cheng said, "Otherwise, those people who came to attack us wouldn't have retreated so easily!"
"At that time, it was because you had the Sovereign Artifact that could threaten their lives. But now, we are going to attack their sect. The situation is completely different."
Zhu Ziqiao said, "Those sects have enough resources and resources, and they have the Mountain-protecting Great Array. They also have the Sovereign Artifact. Let's not talk about whether we can attack them or not. Even if they can, it's impossible for them to hand over Zuo Mu so easily. Otherwise, no sect will be able to establish a foothold in Cultivation Realm. "
"Our strength is inferior to the Great Devil. Of course, even if we have reached the Great Devil realm, they wouldn't fear us as much as they fear the Great Devil."
Lin Cheng nodded, but in his heart, he found it ridiculous. Those experts were afraid of the Great Devil because they knew how terrifying the Great Devil was. At the same time, they knew that the Great Devil liked to kill. It was not something that could make the Great Devil submit to reason or pressure.
However, when facing the other cultivator, those people would show a completely different expression.
Even if the enemies they faced were equally powerful, they wouldn't be so afraid.
It was only because they knew that the Great Devil was very cruel and bloodthirsty. It wouldn't reason with them at all. Killing was the answer the Great Devil gave them.
That was why they were scared, to the extent where they felt extreme fear.
Even if the Great Devil was still in Devil-suppressing Cliff, those mighty figures wouldn't dare to risk their lives, let alone after the Great Devil was born.
However, this also exposed the weakness of those so-called rulers of Dongzhou, they were afraid of death.
"As long as we can force them to fight with their lives on the line, they will naturally be afraid."
Lin Cheng sneered and said, "Myriad Sword Sect has the Mountain-protecting Great Array and the Sovereign Artifact, but they don't have the courage to fight with their lives on the line!"
Sovereign Artifact was a mighty being that concealed their aura. Those sects might not lack it. However, they lacked the courage to fight with their lives on the line. Those who had a tenacious heart... The mighty being who possessed an invincible aura had now become a coward who feared death.
If not, they would have fought with the Great Devil a long time ago. Why would they be like this, cowering in fear?
Zhu Ziqiao said, "They might not have the courage to fight with the Great Devil, but they might not be afraid of us."0
Those experts were undoubtedly afraid of the devil.
However, their fear might only be when facing the Great Devil. In the eyes of those experts, she and Lin Cheng were merely two rising stars. Not to mention fear, perhaps those experts wouldn't be able to accept the fact that they were surpassed by two juniors.
Therefore, once Lin Cheng attacked them, the reaction of those experts from the Myriad Sword Sect might not be fear, but anger instead.
