Chapter 758 - 858: There Are Still Ways
All the Sect Leaders fell silent upon hearing the words of Master Taichu, after all, they were well aware of these matters. The reason they had been on the defensive, suffering attacks for the past year, was that they could not locate the organization's position, leaving them vulnerable!
And it wasn't that Master Taichu didn't want to reveal the location of the organization; it was because he was extremely wary of the ultimate monster. If they didn't eliminate the ultimate monster, no matter how many organizational bases they destroyed, it would do no good, and they might be merely offering themselves up as sacrifices.
Moreover, Master Taichu was not even sure if using the Sky Observing Mirror to find the ultimate monster had alerted it, and if it had, whether it had set a trap at the organization's location. These were all uncertainties!
Master Taichu sought to protect his own life and avoided unnecessary risks.
This was not to say that Master Taichu feared death, but because he was the only one in the entire world of cultivation who could contend with the ultimate monster. All others would be sacrificing themselves in vain, and if Master Taichu died, then the whole cultivation world would lack someone who could restrain the ultimate monster!
Thus, Master Taichu believed that he couldn't afford to die, or more precisely, he couldn't die before the war ended!
What's more, one leader of the organization had yet to appear, and the true leader hadn't shown up either, making Master Taichu even more cautious about dying!
Perhaps after Master Taichu's death, they might eventually achieve victory, but it would take a lengthy, dark period to allow someone to fully grow and save the world!
Of course, Master Taichu believed that this someone would be Ye Tianfan. However, advancing Ye Tianfan from the Thousand Source Realm to the Taichu Realm would take at least a hundred years, possibly even a thousand years, which was not unheard of. After all, advancing from Ten Directions to Taichu could take even a thousand years and still be considered normal.
Therefore, to let Ye Tianfan fully grow and confront the ultimate monster, it would require a long, dark period!
"What is it? No one speaking? How are we going to solve this war if no one talks?" Master Taichu looked at the crowd sternly!
"But we simply don't know where the organization is located, and just that ultimate monster alone would mean that all of us rushing in would be just in vain!" Husky scratched his head in confusion!
Suddenly, the Sect Leader of the Kindness Sect, Fu Yu, slapped his forehead and said, "Then why don't we eliminate all the other members of that organization, as many as we can, and if the ones left don't have the knowledge to transform ordinary people into monsters, couldn't we slowly eliminate these monsters then?"
"Yes! That's a good plan!" Husky was the first to agree.
"I think it involves some risk, but I agree as well!" King of Heaven pondered for a moment and then spoke!
"Although they might continue to produce those monsters later, at least we could get a period of peace, allowing us to recruit more disciples and bring in some fresh blood!" Master Qingyun suggested!
Master Taichu looked at their faces of agreement and then struck them with some harsh reality: "You all overlooked one problem. If the leader of that organization appears, or if the ultimate monster shows up while we're attacking, we might fail in our mission, and we might not even make it back. Did you think of that?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd suddenly fell silent. True, if the ultimate monster or the mysterious leader and deputy leader appeared during their attack, things would become unpredictable!
They might all end up as casualties right there!
"There's another point: have you ever thought that they certainly don't have just one lair but many bases? At that time, we'll have to split into several groups. Our forces will be divided, and if one place has strong defenders while that group is weak, others won't be able to provide support in time!" Master Taichu continued!
In fact, Master Taichu had seen through the Sky Observing Mirror that the organization had at least over a hundred bases, and more than half were dedicated to producing monsters, with each base heavily guarded.
He even saw a deputy leader level high-ranking member stationed at one of the bases.
There were also some bases with elusive locations. Master Taichu could see the base through the Sky Observing Mirror, but could not find its precise location.
So seeing them not considering the outcomes, he bluntly confronted them!
Seeing many strategies being dismissed by Master Taichu, everyone seemed a bit deflated, but they knew they couldn't blame him. After all, these plans were half-baked and not well thought out from the start.
The room fell into silence once more!
Seeing this, Master Taichu sighed inwardly, reflecting on the gradual decline of the righteous path, slowly being overtaken by the Demon Sect. Merely looking at these Sect leaders, who would say whatever came to mind without giving it thought, or others who couldn't even voice a single opinion, how could they hope to compete with the Demon Sect in this way?
"Actually, eliminating the organization members is a pretty good strategy!" Master Taichu remarked.
The crowd, seeing Master Taichu endorse the plan, immediately perked up and looked to him, awaiting his further words.
"First, we must identify how many bases they actually have. This is essential. Otherwise, if we miss a few, they will just take time and develop back to their current state!" Master Taichu advised them!
"Right, right!" The Sect Leaders quickly nodded!
Master Taichu felt a bit disappointed seeing them only nod in agreement without offering their own thoughts. The righteous path had truly become harder to lead. This generation of Sect Leaders seemed far more foolish than previous ones!
Previous Sect Leaders, during meetings, would occasionally voice their own opinions, but these current ones? They just echoed assent: right, indeed, just so.
Oh, it's really hard to lead them!
Master Taichu sighed, hoping Ye Tianfan would quickly grow and reach the Ten Directions Realm. Once Ye Tianfan achieved even the earliest stage, he would gladly hand over the position of Sect Leader to him!
