Chapter 246 The Situation in Central China: A Three-Way Standoff
Chapter 246 The Situation in Central China: A Three-Way Standoff - Time Flies.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
The allied city walls have long since been razed to the ground by the Shenwu Army's artillery fire.
There were no longer any obstacles between the two armies.
In order to resist the Divine Martial Army.
The Immortal Sect has also undergone reorganization, and all Immortal Sect forces have been integrated.
Soldiers were constantly being recruited to the front lines.
In the past six months, a major event has also occurred.
A neutral force emerged and established a nation.
At this moment, the situation on the entire Central Continent completely changed, becoming a three-way balance of power.
The Immortal Sect occupies the largest territory, taking over 40% of the entire Central Continent.
The neutral forces and Eastern Qin each account for 30%.
On the surface, the Immortal Sect is the strongest, while the neutral forces and the Eastern Qin are weaker.
However, the truth is that the Eastern Qin army was the strongest and most ferocious.
Because Eastern Qin was completely unified, with centralized imperial power and unified allocation, it was stronger than the other two major powers in all aspects.
Of course, the weaknesses of Eastern Qin were also obvious; its army was smaller than that of the two major powers.
It wasn't that Eastern Qin couldn't muster enough troops, but rather that Eastern Qin cared more about the lives of its people.
We will not send ordinary people to their deaths so easily.
However, the Immortal Sect and the neutral forces did not care about the lives of the common people and forcibly conscripted them into the army.
To them, the lives of ordinary people are like ants; they don't care as long as they don't all die out.
This is why, in the past, after each millennium war ended, the population of the entire Central Plains would decrease by 60%.
It was precisely because of this that the three forces began to wage war against each other.
In particular, the wars waged by the Immortal Sect against neutral forces were completely reckless.
Why is the Immortal Sect acting this way?
The reason is simple: originally, the Immortal Sect occupied 70% of the territory of the Central Plains, while the Eastern Qin occupied 30%.
With its sheer number of people and resources, the Immortal Sect, though its army is not as strong as that of the Eastern Qin, could still stop the Eastern Qin.
Unexpectedly, a neutral force intervened, and 30% of the territory changed hands, directly betraying the Immortal Sect.
This infuriated the Immortal Sect.
However, due to the constraints imposed by the Eastern Qin, the Immortal Sect was unable to fully exert its power to reclaim this 30% of its territory.
This ultimately led to the current tripartite balance of power.
It's not really the Immortal Sect's fault. Those neutral forces were just scattered cultivators banding together for mutual support, and they had never participated in the Millennium War before.
Therefore, the Immortal Sect did not regard them as opponents.
In the eyes of the Immortal Sect, the greatest threat is the four ancient clans; as long as the four ancient clans are suppressed, the problem can be solved.
Unexpectedly, the force they least considered gave them the biggest surprise in the end.
This has led to the Immortal Sect now fighting on two fronts.
The two battlefields became two carnage fields, where countless soldiers were buried.
"Your Highness, news has arrived from the Central Region."
Liu Feng handed a letter to Qin Wu.
Qin Wu took the letter and examined it.
"The immortal sects of the Central Region are finally about to lose their temper. When will the powerhouses of the four ancient clans arrive?"
Qin Wu sneered, at the changes that had occurred in just six months.
This finally made the Immortal Sect unable to hold back any longer.
If things continue like this, and the Immortal Sect doesn't find a way to deal with the combined attack from both sides...
They fear they might be among the first forces to be eliminated.
Therefore, the Immortal Sect is preparing to directly initiate an Immortal War.
They wanted to use their superior combat power to suppress both sides.
"They are on their way and should arrive in the next two or three days."
Liu Feng reported.
He is very clear about the current situation in the Central Plains and knows what kind of situation he will face next.
"Okay, is the layout complete?"
Qin Wu nodded.
"The plan is complete. We can take action as soon as the Immortal War begins."
Liu Feng said.
Qin Wu began making plans six months ago.
They prepared a great gift for the Immortal Sect.
I wonder if the Immortal Sect will be happy when the grand gift arrives.
"Alright, then let's wait!"
Qin Wu smiled as he thought about his plan.
Three days later.
All the powerful figures from the four ancient clans who were stationed in the capital have arrived.
"Young Wu, what impressive skills you have put the Immortal Sect in such a predicament."
The eleventh elder looked at Qin Wu and said with a smile.
This was the first time in countless years that they had seen the Immortal Sect suffer such a great loss.
In particular, Qin Wu even included the neutral forces in the Central Region in his calculations.
Indeed, the neutral forces' sudden move was Qin Wu's scheme.
Shortly after making contact with the Qin clan, Qin Wu began to make his plans, which are now complete, dragging neutral forces into the war as well.
With the intervention of neutral forces, the scales of victory have begun to tip.
"Eleventh Elder is joking. If it weren't for the fact that the Immortal Sect has acted too domineeringly over the years, causing countless forces to harbor resentment, I wouldn't have been able to scheme against him."
Qin Wu said with a smile.
This is indeed the fault of the Immortal Sect; their usual style of doing things is really domineering.
His disciples acted with even greater recklessness, offending countless powerful forces.
No one resisted before because the Immortal Sect was indeed too powerful, and it was almost impossible for them to seek revenge against the Immortal Sect.
Over the years, many forces have plotted against the Immortal Sect, even attempting to incite a bloody battle between the Immortal Sect and the four ancient clans.
However, both sides have exercised great restraint over the years.
But things are different now. The Qin clan has produced a monstrous killing star, and the four ancient clans have long had enough of this.
Under Qin Wu's covert instigation, the neutral forces finally united.
With the four ancient clans joining forces to fight against the Immortal Sect, neutral forces saw an opportunity and thus directly intervened.
Over the years, neutral forces have also concealed countless trump cards.
When the opportunity comes, they won't let it slip by.
After all, they appear to be neutral forces, not taking sides, but they are also the forces that have suffered the most from the Immortal Sect.
After all, the disciples of the four ancient clans and immortal sects dared not bully them easily, but they were different.
Therefore, their hatred for the Immortal Sect is the deepest.
This incident, which lasted for six months, has caused considerable losses to the Immortal Sect.
Qin Wu was terrified by their madness.
"Alright, kid, stop with that. By the way, in the Central Region, those independent cultivators have completely united and are fighting fiercely with the Immortal Sect, which has greatly reduced our pressure."
"The Central Region is in complete chaos. Many disciples of the Immortal Sects have been assassinated. However, the Immortal Sects are indeed powerful, and they have not suffered much loss despite the combined efforts of our two forces."
"The only way for the Immortal Sect to break this deadlock is through the Central Continent. This time, the Immortal Sect has sent out quite a few powerful experts."
"You better not be careless, kid."
The eleventh elder reminded him.
"Don't worry, even if the sect leader of the Immortal Sect comes in person, we will make him stay here."
Qin Wu sneered.
He has now grasped some methods of blending artistic conceptions, and it won't be long before he can continue to blend artistic conceptions.
Moreover, Qin Wu had already tried the corpses of several terrestrial immortals that Qin Jian had previously sent.
He can devour their insights, but only about 10% of them; the rest will dissipate.
Even so, it's still pretty good; it's much simpler than figuring it out on your own.
Moreover, once he gets the hang of it, he can quickly grasp the concepts.
He didn't know why, but he found it easy to grasp the essence of things; it was as if he had a natural affinity for it.
That is precisely why he set up such a grand scheme, drawing in all forces.
Only when enough terrestrial immortals die can he devour more and gain more profound insights.
He will become even stronger.
Upon hearing Qin Wu's words, everyone present, except for the Qin clan members, couldn't help but gasp in shock.
In recent days, they have come to know that Qin Wu is very strong, and they have tried their best to think highly of him.
But unexpectedly, Qin Wu didn't even put the sect master of the Central Region Immortal Sect in his eyes. Just how strong must he be to be so confident?
It should be noted that the sect leader of the Central Region Immortal Sect is an eighth-level expert.
Those who do not reach the Ninth Realm or the Ultimate Realm are invincible.
But Qin Wu actually said he could keep him here, so how strong must Qin Wu be?
Could it be...
They dared not think any further.
