Chapter 198 Going to war
Virtual God Realm.

The voice of Zhou Lijian, the master of the External Propaganda Hall, continued to echo.

"The internal conflicts of Xuanming Sect are getting more and more serious. The chaos caused by the sect's internal management errors has caused serious harm to the members of Jiuding Sect. Jiuding Sect adheres to Articles 44 and 46 of the Cangwu League's Diplomatic Relations Convention and formally dispatches ten large flying boats to Xuanming Sect to evacuate our disciples and property. This action is not aimed at any person or any force, but only to ensure the property and personal safety of our disciples outside the territory..."

As early as three hours ago, the External Propaganda Hall announced that a press conference would be held in the Virtual Realm regarding the civil strife in the Xuanming Sect. Countless people were waiting in front of this column, awaiting the final decision of the Jiuding Sect.

During the three days, due to the deliberate propaganda of the External Propaganda Hall, everyone in the Jiuding Sect was filled with righteous indignation.

Although many people complained about the fact that the descendants of Qi Zong did not return to Jiuding Zong after the establishment of Jiuding Zong, this did not affect their sympathy and empathy.

Especially after seeing the heinous and beastly acts committed by many people in the Xuanming Sect against the descendants of the Qi Sect, the disgust of the people in the Jiuding Sect towards the Xuanming Sect's behavior reached its extreme.

Many imperial academies even held spontaneous rallies and marches to protest against the Xuanming Sect's inhumane behavior.

These news were then sent to the portal of the Virtual God Realm through relevant people, attracting more people to understand the truth of the incident.

Under such circumstances, after this heavyweight announced the Jiuding Sect's final decision word for word, all the people waiting in front of the column couldn't help but cheer.

Not only people from Jiuding Sect but also representatives from surrounding sects paid attention to this press conference.

Someone immediately stood up and said, "Palace Master Zhou, do you have permission from the Xuanming Sect for this behavior? If not, does it involve infringing on the sovereignty of other sects?"

"According to Article 41 of the Cangwu League Convention on Diplomatic Relations, when members of our sect are persecuted, the sect has the right to protect the safety of its members. If the sect no longer has the ability to fulfill this obligation, we have the right to withdraw our members. At present, the Xuanming Sect cannot control the situation within the sect, and the personal safety of our Jiuding Sect members cannot be guaranteed. According to this provision, our next actions are legal and compliant, and do not infringe on the sovereignty of any sect."

Zhou Lijian responded clearly.

"Protest! My Xuanming Sect is fully capable of maintaining internal stability. Your sect's behavior is completely overstepping its authority and is even a provocation to my Xuanming Sect..."

Someone else stood up immediately.

It is not difficult to judge from his remarks that he is a member of Xuanming Sect.

"We have no intention of provoking a dispute with the Xuanming Sect. During this period, we have made no less than ten requests to your sect to protect the safety of its members. However... according to the facts provided by various parties, the Xuanming Sect does not have the ability to maintain internal security, so we can only do it ourselves."

Zhou Lijian responded calmly.

"This kind of mission to other sects must be discussed by the Cangwu League and voted on before it can be carried out. Did your sect bypass the Cangwu League and bully others in the name of evacuation?"

Someone else asked a question.

Zhou Lijian recognized it at a glance.

He is from the Great Sun Sword Sect.

"We have to prioritize. We are here to rescue the sect disciples. According to the Emergency Response Act, Article 47 of the Cangwu Alliance's Diplomatic Relations Convention, when the situation is extremely dangerous, the sect that has been harmed has the right to take the first step to ensure the safety of the sect members, and then report back to the Cangwu Council and provide evidence to ensure the legality of their actions."

The head of the External Propaganda Hall responded in an orderly manner: "During this period of time, there have been no less than 47 massacres in the Xuanming Sect. We all in the Jiuding Sect agree that the situation has reached the point where we must activate Emergency Response Act No. ."

While Zhou Lijian was engaged in heated arguments with members of various sects, more than 230 people from the two major battle academies of the Jiuding Sect, Qingfeng and Shenwei, had already passed through the void, escorting ten large flying boats and heading straight for the Xuanming Sect.

The speed of the flying boat is not fast, only 3 to 10 times the speed of sound.

At this time, the ten flying boats of the Jiuding Sect were medium-to-large flying boats with a length of one thousand two meters, each of which could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The flying speed of such a huge creature is naturally not very fast, and it can only fly steadily at three times the speed of sound.

This seriously delayed the marching time of the two major battle academies.

You can only fly 100,000 miles a day.

The Jiuding Sect and the Xuanming Sect are 300,000 miles apart, and it takes three days to fly there.

The amount of spirit stones consumed during this period naturally reached tens of thousands.

In addition, three days...

It also gave the Xuanming Sect enough opportunity to prepare.

Xuanming Sect's leader Song You immediately convened a meeting within the sect to make the Jiuding Sect look bad.

In the battle of the East China Sea Islands, they lost more than 300 great monks, and they must get back at this loss.

For the defeat in the East China Sea, he pushed the blame onto the Tiangong monks of the Jiuding Sect, but this time the battle will break out in the Xuanming Sect’s homeland.

There are countless various strengthening and amplifying formations on the mainland.

Relying on the amplification of the soul formation, no matter how powerful the Jiuding Sect's Tiangong monks are, they can only ensure normal communications at best. It is nothing but a pipe dream to want to suppress the Xuanming Sect's communication.

In addition to actively preparing for war, the Xuanming Sect also did its best in diplomacy.

We can't count on the Wuji Star Palace for the time being, but we can still rely on forces like the Dayi Sword Sect, the Dayue Dynasty, the Ancient Immortal Sect, and the Xinghai Sect.

After Sect Master Song paid a humble visit to Chi Songzi, the deputy chief of the Great Sun Sword Sect's War Hall and director of the East China Sea Islands Affairs Department, and promised him some unknown benefits, the Great Sun Sword Sect soon took action.

As the Great Sun Sword Sect moved, the Great Yue Dynasty, the Ancient Immortal Sect, and the Xinghai Sect also followed suit.

Of course, compared to the big moves of the Great Sun Sword Sect, these forces were only deploying troops in the areas under their control.

Not to mention invading the sea area where the Jiuding Sect is located, they didn't even dare to utter any harsh words.

The news of the death of more than 300 great monks of Xuanming Sect has not been clarified yet. Under such circumstances, they dare not act rashly to avoid following in the footsteps of Xuanming Sect.

Just follow behind and cheer a little, it's a real test...

It’s better to leave it to the Great Sun Sword Sect.

Under such circumstances, a combat academy of the Sun Sword Sect, codenamed "Divine Fire", set out from Liuli Island, approaching the Jiuding Sect's control area in the name of patrolling the sea area. Upon receiving the news, Li Qingshan immediately ordered the Sword Academy to monitor the situation.

He also gave clear orders that if the great monks of the Great Sun Sword Sect's War Academy took action, the Sword Academy would be allowed to counterattack immediately.

However, less than an hour had passed since they set out from the Sword Holding Academy.

Another movement was observed and reported by the monks in the Heavenly Palace.

The Chunyu patrol warship took off and followed closely behind the Shenhuo Academy.

……

In the realm of virtual gods.

Murong Hui, the head of Tiangong Palace, said solemnly: "The Sun Sword Sect has deployed two elite battle academies, the Divine Fire and Divine Wind, in the East China Sea, and another four main battle academies stationed in various places. Let's not talk about the battle academies responsible for garrisoning for now. The key is the forces they have mobilized at the moment. The Divine Fire and Divine Wind can already be called elite, but compared to the Chunyu and the Kongo patrol warships, they are obviously inferior."

He waved his hand.

Soon, the shadows of six warships were projected.

"The entire Great Sun Sword Sect has six patrol warships, eight elite battle academies, thirteen main battle academies, and dozens of standard garrison battle academies. Some of these forces are deployed on the mainland, some are located in the Storm Sea, and the remaining nearly one-third of the forces are concentrated in the East China Sea Islands. Among them, the Spring Rain is a second-generation patrol warship with slightly weaker combat power, but if we add a Divine Fire Academy... even the Sword Academy is not absolutely sure that it can fight against it."

Murong Hui paused as he spoke: "The most important thing about the Patrol Battleships is not their firepower, but that they are like a mobile fortress, able to provide the monks with enough space to rest."

He said this explanation to Yaoguang.

"Two war academies of similar strength are fighting for their lives. If one side is in a disadvantageous situation, it will immediately withdraw and have a safe place to recuperate and recover. The other side can only continue to be on guard and prevent the crisis from coming... After a few days of fighting, the war academy without a breathing time will not be able to hold on. At that time, it will either retreat or be exhausted to death by the other side when its strength is weakened by 30%, 40%, or even 50% or 60%..."

"Master, I will withdraw my manpower."

Lou Yuyu said.

"What the Great Sun Sword Sect wants is for us to withdraw, so that they and the Xuanming Sect can achieve their goals."

Li Qingshan said calmly, and turned to Yaoguang: "The next battle will be up to you."

Others thought that this battle would depend on Yaoguang's Zhenhaiyuan, but Yaoguang knew what he was referring to.

"I understand, but..."

Yaoguang looked at Li Qingshan and said, "Or, the Sword Academy will deal with the Divine Fire Academy of the Sun Sword Sect, and I will be the one to contain the Spring Rain?"

Li Qingshan was slightly startled.

"No."

Xu Qiexing, who fully understood his importance, could not help but say, "Only the Sword Master Academy can fight against the Sky Patrol Battleship. If it were the Blue Blade Academy or the Divine Might Academy, I'm afraid they might not be able to match this Sky Patrol Battleship. Your Zhenhai Academy is not even as well equipped as the Blue Blade Academy and the Divine Might Academy... Facing the Spring Rain, isn't it like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?"

However, Li Qingshan did not agree with Xu Qiexing's statement. Instead, he looked at Yaoguang's expression, thought for a while, and asked, "Are you sure?"

"It's a bit arrogant to say that we can defeat the Spring Rain, but it won't be a problem to entangle them."

Yaoguang said, "With me holding the Spring Rain hostage, the Sword Academy should be able to defeat the Divine Fire Academy, right? When you, the Sect Master, win, it won't be too late for you to come and support me."

"it is good!"

Li Qingshan nodded heavily.

He was very clear that the combat power that Yaoguang, the "Dharma-image monk", could truly unleash was definitely beyond his expectations.

Can't do it well...

The strength that Zhenhai Academy could eventually display was stronger than that of the Zhijian Academy he led.

"Then I'll leave the Spring Rain to you. I'll decide the outcome with the Divine Fire Academy as soon as possible."

Li Qingshan said.

"metropolitan!?"

Xu Qiexing, Gao Shenghan and others were a little frightened.

For a talent like Yaoguang, sending him to the battlefield is already a last resort, so how could he be allowed to face a patrolling battleship head-on?
Master, you are confused.

"You must have faith in Yaoguang."

Li Qingshan smiled and said, "Don't forget, the counterattack of Longxiong City led by the Lord of Yaoguang Palace repelled all the patrol warships of Wuji Xinggong. No matter how advanced the Chunyu is, it can't compare to Wuji Xinggong, right?"

Hearing his confidence, everyone looked at each other and had no choice but to accept it.

"Safety first. We can lose the East China Sea, but nothing can happen to you."

Xu Qiexing gave careful instructions.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Yaoguang smiled slightly.

I have been the head of Zhenhai Academy for such a long time and have been training for a whole year...

It's time to test the true strength of Zhenhaiyuan.
