Chapter 1128 - Scheme
The Heavenly Dao Society fell into a chilling silence.
In the heart of winter, a bitter cold swept through Astral Glory City, casting a heavy gloom over every heart.
"Leader, I'm afraid the Liu Clan won't be able to hold out much longer," Mu Tianli said as he stepped forward, his brow deeply furrowed.
"I know. We'll leave it to fate," Xu Yilin replied, sitting quietly with a flicker of worry in his eyes.
The Liu Clan had joined forces with the Heavenly Dao Society. They would either rise together or fall together.
The three clans had encircled the Liu Clan, while the Profound Cloud Sect, Scarlet Dragon Cult, and Spirit Jade Pavilion pressed in on the Heavenly Dao Society. The six forces split into two assault groups and launched a synchronized attack.
"Father, please hear me out. We must help the Heavenly Dao Society this time," Zhao Chao pleaded as he knelt before his father, urging him to let the Nine Profound Sect's ancestor take action.
The upper echelons of the Nine Profound Sect stood in silence, their expressions unreadable. They had already missed their chance to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao Society. Although they had recently hosted an alchemy exchange, it was nothing compared to a direct partnership.
"Are you sure about this?" Zhao Chao's father asked, his voice grave. It wasn't a decision to make lightly. One wrong move could drag the entire Nine Profound Sect into ruin.
They couldn't match the strength of so many Heaven Profound Realm experts.
"I'm certain. I believe Big Brother Liu will return and turn the tide," Zhao Chao said, his voice unwavering. Missing this opportunity now could make future cooperation even harder to achieve.
It was easy to support a winner—but helping someone at their lowest held the most significant value.
