Chapter 208 - 180
The situation at hand was clear to Chen Li, and naturally, the others could see it as well.
The entire Returning True Sect was enveloped in a solemn atmosphere.
That afternoon, Sect Leader Xia Hongyi once again convened the Foundation Establishment members to discuss strategies, but they did not come up with a better solution.
A Mountain Protection Array designed for the same grade, if focused on defense, often has weaker offensive capabilities, whereas one focused on offense tends to have weaker defense.
The Mountain Protection Array of the Returning True Sect was precisely the type that emphasized defense. Although it had offensive capabilities, they were inward rather than outward, primarily aimed at suppressing cultivation levels and physical constraints.
One surely couldn’t invite the wolf into the house by willingly letting in a third-stage demon beast.
Moreover, for demon beasts with robust physiques, how much effect the suppression of cultivation levels and physical constraints would have was still debatable.
Besides, the only other option was to give up the third-stage spiritual land and evacuate the area entirely.
But for the Returning True Sect, this was undoubtedly unacceptable.
On one hand, a third-stage spiritual land was incredibly precious, something that could be found but not sought, the very foundation of a sect’s establishment; it couldn’t simply be abandoned.
On the other hand, and most importantly, the great ancestor was still in seclusion healing injuries, and unless it was a critical moment, no one dared to rashly disturb him. If anything went wrong, leading to a deviation, then not even dying a hundred times could atone for it.
