"No... it’s still different. If the Luo King Mansion placed heavy troops along the Qi River, it could completely stop the Night King Mansion’s army from moving south."

Hou Shuwen shook his head, he stood up and walked to a huge map, drawing a line, "But by doing so, Luo King Mansion would have to adopt a defensive stance."

He couldn’t fathom what Luo King Mansion was really trying to do.

At that moment, an elder of the Flying Eagle Hall rushed in, delivering a piece of intelligence.

After Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu read it, his expression immediately turned strange.

"Sect Leader, what news?"

Master of Martial Peak, Xie Tiancheng, promptly asked.

"Luo King Mansion did not attack our Divine Sword Sect but instead attacked Baihua Palace... According to the intelligence, the gates of Baihua Palace have already been breached."

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu stated.

The room fell silent.

Everyone was somewhat incredulous.

What was going on?

"Baihua Palace has always been neutral, they hadn’t participated in the previous Jade Capital rebellion... Luo King Mansion should have been courting them instead, why attack Baihua Palace at this time?"

Spirit Void Peak Master Wei Quansheng said, dumbstruck.

"I understand now, Luo King must be worried that after the intelligence leaks, they wouldn’t be able to overpower our Divine Sword Sect quickly, so they had to settle for the next best thing. Baihua Palace is located in Xiang State, a critical pass to Shuchuan Road; if Luo King Mansion controls Xiang State, they would effectively control the gateway to Shuchuan Road, being able to push forward at any moment."

Guiyi Peak Master Hou Shuwen clapped his hands and said, "It seems Luo King Mansion has already planned their retreat."

After the establishment of the Great Chang, the territories of various kings and Martial Arts Sects were carefully designed for mutual restraint and balance, thereby creating a subtle equilibrium across the entire map of Great Chang.

The Imperial Family could then control everything.

Baihua Palace controlled Xiang State, precisely to curb the forces within the feudal states of Shuchuan Road, holding control of Wanjing Pass, which is tantamount to seizing the gateway to Shuchuan Road. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

Moreover, the powers within the feudal states of Shuchuan Road, including Fan Royal Mansion, were not strong, without the capability to wrest control of Wanjing Pass from Baihua Palace.

Besides, if Fan Royal Mansion dared to act up, they would be immediately subjected to the merciless purging by the Imperial Family.

"If Baihua Palace doesn’t want to be annihilated, they have no choice but to join forces with Luo King Mansion."

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu sighed.

Baihua Palace’s strength was not weaker than Divine Sword Sect.

Yet, they were still breached.

If Divine Sword Sect was caught unprepared and suddenly attacked by Luo King Mansion, he shuddered to think of the consequences.

"Doesn’t Baihua Palace have a Heavenly Person? How could they be breached so easily?"

A powerful elder suddenly spoke.

"Baihua Palace, like our Divine Sword Sect, has only one Heavenly Person, and this Heavenly Person is also quite aged. Without any preparations and being ambushed, you can imagine what happened?"

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu sighed.

Heavenly Persons are very strong.

But Luo King Mansion has more Heavenly Persons.

If Luo King Mansion attacked Divine Sword Sect, even with Heavenly Person Xiao sitting in the sect... the possibility of falling in an unexpected attack is quite high.

Now, they just have to wait for Uncle-Master Heavenly Person Xiao to return, along with the Heavenly Person from Night King Mansion... That would make two Heavenly Persons, even if Luo King Mansion launched a major attack on Divine Sword Sect, they would still have the power to fight back, and not be breached as quickly as Baihua Palace.

A few days later.

Divine Sword Sect remained peaceful.

Heavenly Person Xiao finally rushed back.

And even brought two Heavenly Persons back with him.

This made the high ranks of Divine Sword Sect overjoyed.

"Uncle-Master, who are these two seniors?"

Inside Divine Sword Hall, Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu, after paying his respects to Heavenly Person Xiao, couldn’t help but ask.

"This is Heavenly Person Chai from the Imperial Family, and this is Heavenly Person Hua from Baihua Palace."

The bald elderly Heavenly Person Xiao immediately introduced them.

The high ranks of Divine Sword Sect promptly paid their respects, but they were all shocked.

"Heavenly Person Hua?"

Wasn’t Baihua Palace breached by Luo King Mansion a few days ago?

How could Heavenly Person Hua be here?

This Heavenly Person Hua looked rather weak, seemingly severely injured.

"Thankfully, Heavenly Person Xiao intervened and saved me midway, otherwise I would have perished."
