"Perhaps the Jade Emperor and Buddhism teamed up at the beginning to beat us and give us some shock. But after discovering that we were stubborn and had no intention of compromising, the other party changed their strategy, allowing us and Buddhism to continue fighting, giving Buddhism Bloodletting. After all, compared to us, even if we are destroyed, the benefits we get are insignificant, and we have to share them with Buddhism. On the contrary, if we can bite Buddhism, a small part of the benefits will be greater than ours."
"If you think about some more sinister plans with a gloomy mind, combined with the opponent's subsequent actions when besieging the helm, could this plan be a game from the beginning, preparing to lure Buddhism and Buddhism into a fight? . Or rather two Prepare your hands. If we don't resist, we will share our interests. If we resist, we will bleed Buddhism, so that they will be invincible no matter what." Xue Wuhen said his guess, which can better explain why the two sides joined forces. Work but no effort.
These people pieced together the Jade Emperor's plan with their blunt words.
Indeed, when the Jade Emperor saw Zhao Baiyang being promoted to Dao Lord, he had the idea of beating the Heretic Alliance, and even had this ambition to swallow up all the interests of the Heretic Alliance.
But they also had concerns about whether they would be forced too hard if they really swallowed up all the interests of the Heretic Alliance, especially when Zhao Baiyang had already proven to be the Taoist Lord.
What if after Zhao Baiyang comes out of seclusion, he finds that the Heretic Alliance no longer exists, or that without the Heretical Alliance, Zhao Baiyang launches unscrupulous revenge on the Jade Emperor?
The Jade Emperor has great ambitions, and Zhao Baiyang is a good opponent for him, but he cannot give up his bigger plan just because of these grievances.
If he and Zhao Baiyang were really entangled to death because of such a thing, then other Tao Lords would probably laugh to death.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor made two preparations, either letting Buddhism take the lead and try to annex the interests of the heretic alliance, so that even if there is a problem, Buddhism will be used as a shield.
And if the heretical alliance resists fiercely, then find a way to guide the power of the heretic alliance to attack Buddhism, so that it can bleed Buddhism and gain more benefits.
With such a two-pronged approach and various plans, the Jade Emperor's side can be invincible no matter what, which is the safest way.
"The other party's sale of the elixir to us is actually a hint, telling us that they will not continue to take action and let us go all out to deal with Buddhism without any worries." Tie Qianshan said his thoughts.
"Of course, if we fail, the other party will definitely not hesitate to add insult to injury." Xue Wuhen sneered and said: "The other party's methods are very powerful. Unless we lose our minds and go crazy and directly provoke them both, otherwise, after provoking the Buddhists, I will definitely not take action against them again, especially if they don’t take the initiative.”
"Although it was a passive counterattack this time, we have not suffered any losses in the end. We have also increased our combat power a lot. We need to temporarily stabilize ourselves and adjust ourselves. It is not appropriate to set up any more opponents at this moment." Tie Qianshan knew that these few people had a strong interest in the Jade Emperor. Both parties are dissatisfied, but dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and we must also recognize the reality clearly.
Now they seem to be using the weak to force the Buddhists to retreat and protect themselves, and they are in the limelight for a while. However, in fact, the reason why the Buddhists retreat is not because of their own side. Others don't know this, so how can they not know it.
And especially at this time, it is even more necessary to act cautiously. Don't really think that you are so powerful that you will become a target that all parties are afraid of.
After all, in today's situation, conflicts of interest may occur between various forces at any time. Whoever takes the lead will be at the forefront. This may not necessarily gain first-mover advantage and gain benefits, but it is very likely to become the target of public criticism.
If it weren't for Buddhism's initiative this time, after Zhao Baiyang became the Taoist Lord, their heretical alliance should have kept a low profile and accumulated strength, wandering among the various forces and waiting for price. They would not be easy to sell without seeing enough benefits. end.
On the contrary, this time the actions of the Buddha Gate and the Jade Emperor completely disrupted their plans, leaving them unable to keep a low profile and they could only stand up and fight back immediately. Although they won the victory, they also exposed a considerable part of their own tactics. force.
After ten thousand years of development, all forces have continuously opened up the worlds of the heavens. How many resources have been plundered in these worlds, how many opportunities have been obtained, how many strong men have been cultivated, and how much power can be exerted in a real war? Combat strength.
All of this is unknown, and this is what all parties want to know most urgently. Only in this way can they know their position and choose suitable opponents and allies.
In the situation where the situation of all parties is still unclear, now that the Heretic Alliance has stood up first and achieved such a great victory, it has inevitably become the target of public criticism and exposed all its power to the eyes of others.
You must know that the Heretic Alliance wants to pull down some top immortal sects to seize their interests, so why don't some ordinary immortal sects set their sights on them and want to devour their resources to fulfill themselves?
"After this battle, as long as we don't take the initiative, no one will provoke us for the time being, right?" King Kong Sect Master frowned.
Although the losses in this battle were not small, the final victory was unquestionable. The powerful combat power displayed by their outsider alliance was worthy of their current status.
Coming back with a great victory is a moment of high morale. As long as they don't take the initiative, no one will be blind, right?
"No one can tell what other people are thinking. It's just like we didn't expect that Buddhism and Jade Emperor would suddenly attack us." Xue Wuhen shook his head and said.
Indeed, according to common sense, it is not wrong to think so, but sometimes what happens in reality cannot be treated according to common sense. Otherwise, how can it be called an accident?
As soon as he said these words, the others fell silent. Xue Wuhen was right. The current situation could not be explained clearly, and no one could predict what would happen next.
In their opinion, the battle they just had with Buddhism showed that their combat power was enough to intimidate all parties, and no one should take the initiative to pick a hard fight.
But they are also in the limelight now. If some immortal sects want to take this opportunity to rise and become famous, it is really unclear whether the other party will use their heretical alliance as a stepping stone.
"If that's the case, then the three major immortal sects inviting us to join forces with them can be considered?" Zi Tianxiong said.
By cooperating with the three major immortal sects to deal with Buddhism, everyone had the experience of sharing adversity, life and death, which laid some foundations for their subsequent cooperation. After the Buddhist sect retreated, several holy masters from the three major immortal sects issued an invitation to Zi Tianxiong and the others, hoping to temporarily form an alliance with the heretic alliance. Not to mention an all-round alliance targeting everything, but at least in the face of the Buddhist sect. In this force, everyone can help each other and advance and retreat together.
Zi Tianxiong is actually quite hesitant about this point. After all, the losses in this war are not small. He cannot continue the desperate war, but should seize the time to recuperate and recharge his batteries.
They believe that in this battle with Buddhism, Buddhism will not make any rash moves before they figure out the real situation, which means that they can have a period of time to accumulate strength.
Moreover, their heretic alliance is far away from Buddhism. Unlike the three major immortal sects, which are adjacent to Buddhism, Buddhism will inevitably attack them again once it recovers. The level of danger faced by both sides is different.
If we deepen our cooperation with the three major immortal sects, then when the Buddhist sect takes action again, it will be easy to drag them down and continue to fall into the quagmire of war.
However, if this cooperation is rejected and the three major immortal sects are allowed to fight against Buddhism alone, it will give Buddhism a chance to defeat each other. No matter whether the three major immortal sects can survive it, Buddhism will definitely threaten the heretic alliance again after it truly recovers. Pressure, by then we will be alone, and we may not necessarily have allies like the three major alliances anymore.
"Cooperation, of course we must cooperate. No matter what the considerations are, we cannot refuse cooperation with the three major immortal sects. At least we have the same interests in facing the Buddhist sect together." Tie Qianshan said categorically.
There is no compromise between their heretic alliance and Buddhism, and after this war, the three major immortal sects cannot easily compromise with Buddhism. This is the basis for their cooperation.
The Buddhist sect is too powerful and cannot be easily contended by them. Even if they wait for Zhao Baiyang to recover and recruit the two Demon Lords, they may not really have a chance to win when they cooperate to face the Buddhist sect.
Moreover, even if Buddhism has other opponents and enemies, there is no experience of such real confrontations causing losses to Buddhism. No one is sure whether those forces will really persist in opposing Buddhism to the end, which means that such potential allies are full of potential allies. uncertainty.
In the current situation, the identities of allies and enemies have not yet been completely determined. It is dark, treacherous, and turbulent. Their identities are constantly changing. No one knows who can be trusted.
Just like the cooperation between Jade Emperor and Buddhism seems to be very strong, but both sides also have evil intentions and try to harm their teammates.
Therefore, even if you choose allies and collaborators, you need to choose reliable people as much as possible, instead of just choosing strong ones.
"These three immortal sects not only represent themselves, but they also have the support of the three Tao Lords of Divine Power and Miaoji. Even if these three Tao Lords have no other collaborators, these three Tao Lords are just one force." It's a powerful force. When the time comes that we form an alliance, we will at least be invincible." Xue Wuhen was also in favor of this cooperation.
The three major immortal sects are powerful, but they are nothing compared to Buddhism, but the supporters behind the three major immortal sects cannot be ignored.
The three Taoist masters Shen Gong Miaoji, plus Zhao Baiyang and the two demon kings, if they can maintain a consistent attitude towards Buddhism, they will definitely be a powerful force, and Buddhism will not dare to act rashly.
"But this is only from the standpoint of facing Buddhism. At least for now, this alliance is only targeting Buddhism and not other third parties." Tie Qianshan added.
They need to rely on the power of the three major immortal sects to fight against Buddhism, but they are not willing to be easily bound by the three major immortal sects and cannot target third parties.
Based on the current trend shown by the three major immortal sects or the Taoist masters behind them, the next step is to continuously conquer all parties to seize resources. The outsider alliance cannot become the opponent's thugs and fight for the interests of the other party.
"If that's the case, then I will go and discuss some specific details with the three major immortal sects." Zi Tianxiong took the initiative to take over the matter.
The rest of the people did not object to this. Among them, King Kong Sect Master and Zi Tianxiong had a relationship with the three major immortal sects. Although King Kong Sect Master broke through to the sixth level of the True Immortal Realm, he still needs time to go back to retreat. To consolidate the foundation, this matter can only be left to Zi Tianxiong.
Although some affairs of the Heretic Alliance are left to rising stars like Yu Yiyao and Can Yang, the matter of cooperation with the three major immortal sects is crucial, and Yu Yiyao's identity is not equal to that of the other party.
Even though there is a Dao Lord sitting in the Heretic Alliance at this moment, which is different from ordinary large-scale immortal sects, they cannot just send such a saint girl or saint son to discuss such a major matter.
Only Zi Tianxiong and the other deputy alliance leaders are suitable for the same position as Holy Lord Yanxia, and as deputy alliance leaders, Zi Tianxiong has greater power to make independent decisions on many matters.
After talking about these things, several people asked about Zhao Baiyang's current situation.
"How is the alliance leader recovering from his injuries? When will he be able to come out of seclusion?"
Although the question was asked by King Kong Sect Master, it was also what Xue Wuhen and Zi Tianxiong wanted to know.
Not to mention the role of a Dao Lord like Zhao Baiyang now to the entire heretic alliance, as he is their protector of the Dao Lord in the future.
Based on the friendship that has lasted for thousands of years, although there are some frictions and conflicts between them, their friendship is unquestionable.
Practitioners pay attention to the Dharma of wealthy couples. The common advancement and retreat over the past ten thousand years has developed the power of the heretic alliance to its current level. They have experienced countless dangers together, and they have taught each other Dharma and Taoism. It is not just about interests. The community is also a Taoist companion on the path of spiritual practice.
"As for the news from the outside world, I passed almost everything to him, and he also responded and approved all our plans. It was just that he was seriously injured by the Buddhist Taoist Lord that day. Such an injury cannot be recovered in a short time. It takes some time to heal." Tie Qianshan didn't mean to hide anything, and told everything about Zhao Baiyang. (End of chapter)
