Chapter 319: Attack First
Jia Nan Academy, Inner Sector.
After discussing it, Xiao Yi Xian turned her gaze to Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, big brother, I need you to go back to the Alliance Against the Misty Cloud Sect to inform them that the academy is willing to join."
Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled slightly. "No need. Before I left, I already agreed with them to transmit the information by changing the intensity of the soul mark."
Xiao Yan explained briefly, making Su Qian and Xiao Yi Xian nod.
"I didn't expect the soul mark to have such a function."
"This also requires enough control of the soul; otherwise, the information couldn't be transmitted effectively. This was perfected during the battles with the Yun Lan Sect."
Xiao Yan sighed. "Indeed, the situation of the Alliance is not good. Under the pressure of the Misty Cloud Sect, their power has continuously decreased."
"If we can't join with Jia Nan Academy this time, the Alliance will probably have to flee to other empires."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Su Qian and Xiao Yi Xian's expressions turned serious.
Su Qian said in a grave tone, "No matter what, the forces of the Yun Lan Sect are heading to Jia Nan Academy. We have no choice but to fight to the death."
"Since the Alliance Against the Yun Lan Sect is heading to the Black-Corner Region, I'll go to the Dark Court first to give instructions to be prepared."
Xiao Yi Xian pondered for a moment and stood up. The three of them parted ways, and Xiao Yi Xian returned to the headquarters of the Dark Court.
"Greeting to the leader." A woman with a scar on her face bowed to Xiao Yi Xian.
"Gather the sponsors and external elders," Xiao Yi Xian ordered quickly.
The scarred woman nodded and left swiftly. Xiao Yi Xian watched her figure disappear and then headed to the grand hall.
Originally, according to Xiao Zhe's plans, the key positions of the Dark Court were to be occupied by the elders of the inner sector. However, the inner sector elders were reluctant to participate in acts such as looting and killing, as the tasks of the Dark Court were inherently dishonorable.
Xiao Yi Xian realized this. To not put them in a difficult position, Xiao Yi Xian reduced the tasks assigned to the inner sector elders. She returned them to the inner sector and promoted her own trusted people. The scarred woman was one of those people.
Now, the high command of the Dark Court consisted of sponsors and elders. The sponsors were trusted people promoted by Xiao Yi Xian, while the elders were sent from the inner sector. For crucial missions, there was always at least one elder in charge, as a form of control.
Soon, some people gathered in the grand hall, greeting Xiao Yi Xian.
"Greetings to the leader."
Xiao Yi Xian was direct and issued the orders. The people dispersed to carry them out. She had absolute authority in the Dark Court.
After everyone left, Xiao Yi Xian returned to the secret chamber and took a poison pill. These years, due to Xiao Zhe's absence, Xiao Yi Xian didn't dare to consume poison recklessly, focusing mainly on her cultivation and using the poison as support.
Therefore, her progress was slower than Medusa and Qing Lin, and she hadn't yet reached the Dou Zun level. Additionally, in terms of resources, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't compare with Medusa and Qing Lin. After all, with Xiao Zhe, an alchemist master, by their side, they not only obtained Dou Zun level training resources but also received three Tian Ling pills each, saving them decades of cultivation.
"I hope we can successfully overcome this crisis."
Xiao Yi Xian murmured to herself, closing her eyes and starting to cultivate.
On the other hand, the sponsors and elders who had just finished the meeting dispersed to organize their subordinates. However, one figure returned to his residence and took out a strange little beast.
He wrote Xiao Yi Xian's orders on a paper and petted the beast's head, infusing it with some battle energy. The little beast ran out quickly.
"Hehe, at least I'll get a Dou level breakthrough pill from Han Feng. This is crucial for the Black Alliance's survival!"
Some time later, at the headquarters of the Black Alliance, Han Feng, in soul form, was holding the strange beast.
"An alliance... this will be tricky. The Alliance Against the Misty Cloud Sect has many strong fighters who won't surrender easily..."
After dying once, Han Feng had become more cautious and cunning, distrustful of everything. Before, he wouldn't stoop to bribing his enemies' subordinates, but now he was willing to offer great benefits to get information from the Dark Alliance.
"However, this is an opportunity. If they send forces to meet the Alliance Against the Misty Cloud Sect, we can attack the Dark Alliance headquarters now."
Han Feng's eyes filled with hatred. If it weren't for that person, he wouldn't be in this situation. Even the Sea Heart Flame he obtained with great effort was taken by the Hall of Souls.
In any case, he would make that person pay. Even though he went to the Central Region, Jia Nan Academy is his place of origin, and there are important people to him there. He would destroy everything that person valued!
Han Feng released the strange beast and ordered his subordinates.
"Gather all the Dou Wang and higher forces. Today, we attack the Dark Alliance headquarters!"
With Han Feng's order, many strong fighters gathered, their energies shaking the sky. A large group of people headed toward the Dark Alliance headquarters.
...
"Leader, bad news!" The scarred woman urgently knocked on the door of the secret chamber.
"What is it?" Xiao Yi Xian, with her ghost mask, responded coldly.
"The Black Alliance has gathered its forces and is heading to our headquarters."
Xiao Yi Xian frowned and nodded. "It doesn't matter, gather the strong to prepare for battle."
After the scarred woman left, a coldness appeared in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. She knew that the mercenaries she recruited were unreliable, just killers living on the edge, motivated by profit.
But, just after sending forces to the edge of the Black-Corner Region to meet the Alliance Against the Misty Cloud Sect, news of the Black Alliance's attack arrived. Some wanted to get benefits from Han Feng quickly.
Xiao Yi Xian was not afraid. With her current power, as long as she didn't face a Dou Zun, she would be fine.
"The recruited strong fighters don't matter much. The important ones are the elders sent by the academy. If the battle goes badly, they can retreat... as long as there is hope, there is a future."
Soon after, Xiao Yi Xian led many strong fighters to a battlefield on a plain. The strong fighters of the Black Alliance, seeing Xiao Yi Xian's mask, showed fear on their faces.
The Black Alliance had fought many times with the Dark Alliance and knew well the power of the person behind that mask.
