Chapter 844: Chapter 453 Golden Core Gathering_2 Chapter 844: Chapter 453 Golden Core Gathering_2 As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Yu on the other side chimed in.
âDaoist Zhou is right, Linâs cultivation speed is simply unimaginable; he must be one of the top-ranked existences in the entire Wei Kingdomâs Cultivation World over the past thousand years!â
Hearing Lan Yu and the others say this, Li Wenhe and Chen Maohua on the other side looked slightly taken aback, their originally calm faces now flushing with excitement, seemingly very interested in Lin Tianming.
In their eyes, Chen Jingtian had reached Mid Stage Golden Core cultivation, and his strength was there for all to see; even Xiang Changqing, who was at the same stage, was suppressed by him.
Chen Jingtian, such a character, was a top existence among his peers in the Cultivation World.
Even towards them, Chen Jingtianâs attitude was lukewarm, as if he didnât value them very much.
But such a person, who was aloof and proud, unexpectedly had such a high evaluation of Lin Tianming, who had just entered the Golden Core Stage; it made people take a fresh look.
...
However, they were also aware that the reason Chen Jingtian had such an attitude might also be due to the stronger overall strength of the Lin Family.
After all, they had received reliable information that the Lin Family now had four Golden Core Stage combat powers, and during the great battle of the Qingyun Sect invading the Luoyun Mountain Range, they had annihilated Xu Zhi and Meng Qingfeng in one fell swoop.
It should be known that Xu Zhi was an established Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator, and his fame among all the High Order Cultivators in the entire Wei Kingdom was also remarkable.
Although the Lin Family did not have as many family members as their two great families, the Lin Family had more Golden Core Cultivators and wholly possessed greater potential.
Compared to their two great families, despite their longer heritage, they were indeed somewhat inferior to the Lin Family of today.
Thus, it was not strange that Chen Jingtian attached more importance to the Lin Family.
Understanding this, Li Wenhe and Chen Maohua also started to agree with the sentiments, clearly intending to make an alliance with the Lin Family and seek a powerful ally.
After all, the strength of their Two Great Golden Core Families was much inferior compared to the Three Sects of Myriad Medicine Valley, and their say in the entire Wei Kingdom was also very limited.
Now with the rise of the Lin Family, although their strength was also very formidable, compared to Myriad Medicine Valley and Zhenyang Sect, the threat was naturally not on the same level.
Moreover, the Lin Family was also a Golden Core Family and fundamentally different from the Sects.
Under such circumstances, as family-based power structures, the two great families naturally prioritized forming an alliance with forces like the Lin Family.
The benefits of allying with the Lin Family were much greater than those with a Sect, and they could gain more say and even more interests.
Knowing this, Li Wenhe and Chen Maohua also spoke up frequently, actively echoing Lin Tianmingâs goodwill.
Lin Tianming naturally wouldnât refuse their kindness and soon started chatting with the few people.
Half an hour passed.
Lin Tianming quickly integrated into this group of Golden Core Cultivators. Their conversation was wide-ranging, covering various news within the Cultivation World, to each otherâs cultivation insights, and even the Four Arts of Cultivation.
At the same time, through this exchange, their friendship deepened.
Only when Zhou Yunxiao and a few other Golden Core Cultivators entered did the group cease their casual talks.
At this moment, with the arrival of Zhou Yunxiao, Luo Anzhong, and Duan Liangyu, there were already nine Golden Core Cultivators gathered here.
Among these people, Zhou Yunxiao was at Late Stage Golden Core Cultivation, Chen Jingtian, Luo Anzhong, Duan Liangyu, and Chen Maohua were all at Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivation.
As for the others, including Lin Tianming, they were all at the Early Stage Golden Core Realm.
It was hard to imagine such a formidable force gathered together.
This massive force, if facing any of the Three Sects of Wei Kingdom alone, probably wouldnât take much effort to overthrow.
However, even so, their situation was not very optimistic, because the forces on Golden Sword Sectâs side were not inferior to theirs, even slightly stronger.
And now that Zhou Yunxiao had summoned everyone, there must be some major move planned.
Sure enough, after some pleasantries, Zhou Yunxiao went straight to the point, revealing the news of Golden Sword Sectâs impending attack.
Upon hearing this, the people present looked solemn, clearly aware of the formidable strength of Golden Sword Sect. Although they were also strong, they dared not be careless.
After a moment of silence, Chen Jingtian finally spoke, âDaoist Zhou, do you have any plans now that you have gathered us here?â
Hearing the inquiry, Zhou Yunxiao nodded and then replied, âWe have tried to avoid these few rounds of major battles as much as possible, looking for ways to delay!â
âNow the offensive from the Three Sects of Huangyang Kingdom is getting fiercer and fiercer, and our territories have suffered heavy losses; we cannot delay any longer.â
âAs Linâs Daoist friends have joined us, it is time for us to take the initiative and strike, to see if we can break the stalemate!â
âIn my view, over the next half-year, two more Daoist friends from the Lin Family will support us. I hope that before their arrival, we can eliminate a fraction of Golden Sword Sectâs forces.â
âBy that time, we will be able to join forces with all the Daoists and launch a counterattack to thoroughly drive back the Golden Sword Sect!â
Upon hearing Zhou Yunxiaoâs words, Chen Jingtian was the first to nod in agreement.
His view was quite similar to Zhou Yunxiaoâs.
After all, the territory under the Zhenyang Sect was also under attack by the Qingyun Sect; Zhu Yun, who had been defending Qingshui Market for years, had to constantly fend off the assaults of Song Hanchun.
Now, with the Qingyun Sect joining in, the pressure on Zhu Yunâs defenses had significantly increased.
If they didnât counterattack, the Three Sects of Huangyang Kingdom would continue to escalate their onslaught, and within a year, perhaps most of their territory would be devoured.
Once their territories were nearly devoured, the Three Sects of Huangyang Kingdom would surely join forces with the Golden Sword Sect and then attack the Myriad Medicine Valley Sect Gate.
If that happened, the Golden Sword Sect, already having the upper hand, coupled with several Golden Core Cultivators from the Three Sects of Huangyang Kingdom, would become even more fearsome.
By then, even if the Lin Family were to support them with two more Golden Core Cultivators, they would still be unable to gain the upper hand.
Such a situation could lead to substantial losses for both Great Sects, even to the point of potential annihilation.
Instead of being boiled like a frog in warm water and annihilated, it would be better to take the initiative and strike first, trying to break the deadlock before the Golden Core Cultivators from the Three Sects of Huangyang Kingdom could join forces.
This would also prevent them from falling into even greater trouble.
Chen Jingtian clearly understood Zhou Yunxiaoâs intentions and, considering the interests of their Sects, couldnât possibly refuse Zhou Yunxiaoâs plan.
He was well aware that Myriad Medicine Valley and Zhenyang Sect were now in the same boat, sharing both prosperity and loss.
Knowing this, Chen Jingtian also spoke up to express support for Zhou Yunxiaoâs plan.
Following Chen Jingtianâs lead, Zhou Yunxiao turned his gaze to Lin Tianming and the few Golden Core Cultivators from his Family.
âWhat do you few Daoist friends think of the plan to take the initiative to strike?â
At that moment, facing Zhou Yunxiaoâs inquiry, the usually silent Lin Tianming and others exchanged a glance, seemingly united in their stance.
âDaoist Lin, have you formed an opinion?â
Zhou Yunxiao urged, clearly valuing Lin Tianmingâs viewpoint.
Seeing that Zhou Yunxiao had singled him out, Lin Tianming, although reluctant to make a statement, felt he had to say something.
After all, as the leader of this group, Zhou Yunxiao, with his Late Stage Golden Core cultivation, was formidable enough, and Chen Jingtian was also advocating for a proactive strike.
Being the weaker party, they couldnât likely change their plan with any differing opinions.
Instead of causing friction over some disagreements, it would be better to go with the flow and actively speak up to leave a good impression.
They had come with the purpose of driving back the Golden Sword Sect, even to the extent of annihilating them.
With that in mind, Lin Tianming replied, âI have no objections,, everything may follow Daoist Zhouâs arrangements!â
As soon as he spoke, Chen Maohua and Li Wenhe hurriedly interjected, saying they had no objections either.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunxiao nodded with satisfaction and then spoke.
âVery well⊠Golden Sword Sect is expected to launch an attack within the next couple of days. Let each Daoist make ready for battle!â
âUnderstood⊠You can count on us, Daoist Zhou!â Chen Jingtian said earnestly, his eyes filled with a strong desire to fight.
Lin Tianming and the others also nodded, their expressions turning solemn.
They then discussed some details before each returning to their dwellings to prepare for the battle.
