Chapter 1479 - 1478: Night Attack on the Medicine Sect
Su Yang chuckled and said softly, "Old Zhao, you’re underestimating these people and oversimplifying the Medicine Sect!"
"Huh?" Zhao Hu Zi said in astonishment, "What’s wrong with the Medicine Sect?"
Su Yang calmly replied, "Do you really think that proving I hold the formulas for these three elixirs will be enough to destroy the Medicine Sect?"
"With the alliance of these four sects, it’ll definitely be a piece of cake to deal with the Medicine Sect!" Zhao Hu Zi said.
"That may be what it seems like, but in reality, it’s far more complicated." Su Yang said. "If I were to spread these three elixir formulas openly for everyone to know, and the Medicine Sect were pushed into an existential crisis, what do you think they’d do?"
Zhao Hu Zi scratched his head. This was something he hadn’t considered yet.
"To put it simply, the formulas for the three elixirs they’ve been guarding would no longer be secrets, and there’d be no need for them to keep hiding them." Su Yang continued, "At that point, they might choose to ally with other sects by giving them these formulas in exchange for their support. When that happens, even with four sects on my side, we might still fail to eliminate the Medicine Sect!"
"This..." Zhao Hu Zi’s eyes widened in shock. That scenario was indeed possible.
"Then... why don’t we share these elixir formulas with all the sects so the Medicine Sect has no allies to turn to!" Zhao Hu Zi suggested.
"That’s not feasible either!" Su Yang shook his head. "The Ten Great Sects harbor hidden grudges among themselves. Besides, these people are all ambitious. If they all unite under a shared interest, I’ll face an even greater danger down the road. The best strategy is to sow discord within the Ten Great Sects from the start using these elixir formulas, dividing them into factions so they turn on each other. That way, when the Medicine Sect is eliminated, we’ll be in a safer position."
Zhao Hu Zi scratched his head again. He truly hadn’t considered all of this, but hearing Su Yang explain it made him realize the brilliance of the plan.
