Chapter 204 Confrontation Between Two Clans
Chapter 204: Standoff between Two Races
When Zhang Chi and Miao Yin, both Perfected Beings, were making friends online, others were not idle either.
As the acting palace master, Long Yan quickly contacted the Celestial Melody Pavilion's elder, Miao Qin, who was also a Perfected Being. He also reached out to Dan He, a Perfected Being in exile in Dragon City, and Xuan Ye, an elder of the Profound Heart Sect who was active in Dragon City.
With representatives from the four major sects present, they could convene the alliance meeting.
During the meeting, Long Yan emphasized the correctness, importance, and necessity of driving out the Water Monster. He advocated for a swift counterattack to drive the Water Monster Race back into the sea.
This proposal received unanimous support.
The three sects outside of the Dragon Transformation Palace were eager to fight the Water Monster. The Pill Cauldron Sect had been destroyed, and their territory was occupied by the Water Monster. The Profound Heart Sect was facing a threat from the Water Monster, while the people from the Celestial Melody Pavilion did not like conflicts and certainly did not want the enemy to come knocking on their door.
In short, everyone had unified demands, unified interests, and therefore unified opinions.
The next day, the Dragon River Alliance issued a declaration of war against the Water Monster Race.
On the same day, Yin Xun and others also stepped out of the protective array and confronted the Water Monster.
There were a total of fourteen Divine Ability experts in the human camp, while the Water Monster Race had eight Monster Kings.
However, in this configuration, the human side did not have an absolute advantage.
Among these fourteen Divine Ability experts, apart from Miao Yin, Chen Yin, Cheng Feng, and two elders from the Profound Heart Sect, the rest were from small sects and had come together haphazardly.
Even among Divine Ability experts, there were differences in strength.
Some had powerful Divine Abilities and could be considered invincible, while others had Divine Abilities so weak that the name itself was all they had.
A Monster King from the Water Monster Race could roughly match two ordinary Divine Ability experts.
In a one-on-one battle, the Water Monster Race had a winning rate of up to eighty percent.
However, the situation became more complicated when two people fought against one.
After all, the combined strength of two people could not simply be added up like numbers. If they did not cooperate well, the combined force of 1+1 might not be as good as a single person.
Therefore, even with a numerical disadvantage, the eight Monster Kings of the Water Monster Race were not to be underestimated.
Ao Yue did not take action. As a Sea Monster, if he acted rashly, it would easily lead to a bigger dispute.
At that time, it would no longer be a matter between the Dragon River Alliance and the Water Monster, but a matter between the human race and the sea race.
By not taking action, he could also provide support for Hong Li.
"Dong dong dong dong."
The sound of drums resounded across the Dragon River, and the sound waves spread, startling the Demonic Beasts in the river, causing them to panic and flee, not daring to approach this area of water.
Demonic Beasts were indeed fierce and restless in the water, but it depended on the occasion.
When the human and demon races went to war, what kind of death wish did those fierce beasts have to dare to approach?
Feeling the standoff from afar, the fierce beasts all ran away.
In the spectator area further away, Zhang Chi patted Bai Su's head.
Because of the war drums, Bai Su was a little nervous. After being comforted by its master, it calmed down.
This was also the first time Zhang Chi had witnessed a war in the Immortal Cultivation World. Reading about it in books didn't count.
Generally speaking, top experts would not easily take action in a battle between two armies.
When experts clashed, the destructive power was too great. If an unknown AOE swept through, unlucky people below could die.
Moreover, the lives of top experts were more valuable. The death of a top expert could shake the foundation of a faction.
So usually, if the high-end combat power did not show a clear dominance, there was a high probability that they would not take action and let the lower-level combat power determine the outcome.
The human race and the Water Monster had not officially confronted each other yet, and they did not know what attitude to take towards the Water Monster. That was why this standoff occurred.
If the clash between the top experts was won, the war would also end.
If it's a draw, the war will enter a stalemate phase, and the outcome will be decided by the middle and lower levels. The experts will no longer intervene.
This can also be considered an unwritten rule, king against king, general against general.
However, in today's battle, the Dragon River Alliance did not send out all of their strong warriors, so the result of this battle is not important.
If it ends in a draw, the Water Monster will know to retreat, otherwise, when more powerful members of the alliance arrive, they will have to withdraw.
If the Water Monster wins, there will be another battle.
Just thinking about it, it's clear that the Water Monster cannot achieve ultimate victory. The Dragon River Alliance has Long Yi as a backup. If they keep losing, when Long Yi appears, the Water Monster will have no chance.
Moreover, the Water Monster Race is unlikely to keep winning.
These Divine Ability experts here are only temporary reinforcements from the Dragon River Alliance. When the official reinforcements arrive in two days, it will be even harder to defeat the Water Monster.
Hong Li also knows that the Water Monster's westward advance will come to an end soon. It is impossible to continue fighting and win.
Unless Ao Yue's father helps to kill Long Yi, which is also impossible.
Although they know they can't win, the Water Monster Race still has to fight this battle.
Only by letting human cultivators know the power of the Water Monster Race will they not dare to underestimate the aquatic race in the future.
And Red Carp Monster King's idea is to push the original boundary further forward.
Her request is not high, she just wants the Three-Fold Bay defense line to be handed over to her for management.
The powerful fortifications used by the Pill Cauldron Sect to defend against the Water Monster Race may not have been able to stop the Water Monster, but the construction quality is not a problem.
Red Carp Monster King noticed it when she passed by.
These fortifications may not be able to defend against the Water Monster, but they are effective against defending against the human race.
Therefore, Red Carp Monster King wants to show off her strength and charisma, so that the Dragon River Alliance will have to cede territory and pay compensation in the future.
"Dong dong dong dong."
The sound of drums rang out again.
This time, it means an attack. The drums are powerful, it is the Law Weapon of the Celestial Melody Pavilion, which can inspire fighting spirit and enhance morale.
This is the home ground of the Profound Heart Sect, so the leader is Xuan Feng, the elder of the Profound Heart Sect.
After the second beat of the drum, the momentum is almost there, and Xuan Feng takes a step forward and loudly says, "You Water Monsters, your greed knows no bounds. You have already occupied the downstream territory. We, out of goodwill, did not argue with you. Why did you start a war unprovoked and violate our borders?"
Xuan Feng took the moral high ground as soon as he spoke, but Zhang Chi, who comes from the Sword Sect, feels somewhat disgusted.
What goodwill? If the sword hadn't missed your head, how could you say you don't care?
The Sword Sect refugees have never said they would give up revenge, they just don't have the ability to seek revenge for now.
Xuan Feng can say it so casually, it really makes people feel cold.
It's only because the Water Monster didn't destroy the Profound Heart Sect that they can say such things.
Now that the battle has reached their doorstep, they can't handle it.
Red Carp Monster King is not someone to be taken advantage of, she won't lose in words.
She immediately responds, "What do you mean by an unknown teacher? We had a fellow clan member who went missing, and we just wanted to come and search for him. But the Pill Cauldron Sect refused to let us pass. Since they wouldn't let us through, don't blame us for breaking through forcefully."
Xuan Feng was stunned. The reason for the start of the war was actually this?
If that's the case, it seems to make some sense.
Seeing that she couldn't continue the conversation, Miao Yin Perfected Being couldn't stand it anymore.
It's just a normal verbal argument, dragging on and on.
Hurry up and fight, after the fight, she has to go sing for Zhang Chi's little brother...
