Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1539: Chapter 816: Facing the Enemy

"It seems the intelligence gathering work is not ideal, the influence of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect on the Dongqi Continent is thriving, and the intelligence network of the White Emperor Sect has been greatly suppressed!" Yan Gao Great Cultivator said with a frown.

He received information from the intelligence personnel, but there was very little useful content, making him feel almost unsupported by intelligence.

"It’s about the same here; the Yuqing Sect’s intelligence network cannot find any useful news either!" Master Wang He said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"The intelligence personnel wanted to gain intelligence through allied forces, but they were rejected. This hasn’t happened in many years!" Yan Gao Great Cultivator said, filled with anger.

A superpower on a continent as weak as Dongqi is being suppressed, and not by the enemies of the White Emperor Sect, but by allied forces.

"You can’t blame them. The last ally of your White Emperor Sect, the Taichu Sect, was wiped out by Li Shizhen for sheltering a Great Cultivator of the White Emperor Sect!" Master Wang He said bluntly, without any scruples, revealing the reason behind the matter.

Li Shizhen’s eradication of the Taichu Sect served as a severe warning to all forces on the Dongqi Continent.

Not only are all forces afraid to use any means to support the White Emperor Sect, but they are also filled with awe towards the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. At least until this fear dissipates, they will not dare to undertake actions that would harm the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

This is the effect Li Shiming wanted; once he had the strength to wipe out a sect, other forces would understand the importance of self-preservation, otherwise, the consequence would be annihilation.

In the Cultivation World, cultivators harbor a near-obsessive sentiment towards nurturing their sects. For these sects, they are willing to sacrifice everything, even their lives, and endure much to protect them.

"The current situation is much more difficult than when we last came here. The only thing we know is the location of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s mountain gate, and that Li Shizhen is inside. Are we supposed to forcibly attack the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s mountain gate?" Yan Gao Great Cultivator said anxiously.

Truth be told, with his and Master Wang He’s strength, forcibly attacking the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s mountain gate is not a big deal.

But the premise is that there must not be Great Cultivators with similar strength present. A major sect’s grand formation can enhance a Great Cultivator’s power by more than double, and when their strength is about equal, a Great Cultivator’s power being boosted by more than double makes the two Peak Great Cultivators feel unsure of victory.

Not to mention the Ten Thousand Beast Sect has other Great Cultivators, along with the Spiritual Pets of the Great Cultivators.

"I have already sent a message back, asking the sect to find ways to purchase intelligence from the Central State Commerce!" Master Wang He said solemnly as he put away the communication token.

"That’s a good idea. There is significant enmity between Li Shizhen and the Central State Commerce, and with the intelligence capabilities of Central State Commerce, they can provide us substantial help!" Yan Gao Great Cultivator nodded in agreement.

The internal chaos of Central State Commerce means that with some expense, one can obtain the desired intelligence from certain factions within Central State Commerce.

"No, there’s a Great Cultivator outside!" As the two Peak Great Cultivators were discussing, they suddenly jumped up, taking a defensive stance and shouted.

Not far from the Concealing Array, Li Shiming’s figure appeared, having performed ’One Step to Reach’ space movement from eight thousand miles away to arrive directly at this spot.

Even if the aura of Li Shiming from eight thousand miles away was transmitted, despite the sensitivity of the perception abilities of the two Peak Great Cultivators, it would still take some time to detect an aura from eight thousand miles away.

And Li Shiming’s ’One Step to Reach’ is faster than his aura transmitting from eight thousand miles away.

Thus, he appeared close to Master Wang He and Yan Gao Great Cultivator, and the two only discovered him then, which for two Peak Great Cultivators meant someone silently approached them.

Such things rarely happen to Peak Great Cultivators, and it hadn’t occurred since they became Peak Great Cultivators.

But today, even when the two Peak Great Cultivators were together, a Great Cultivator approached such a close distance, how could they not be shocked?

Yan Gao Great Cultivator first checked the Concealing Array, although it was activated using the Array Plate, whether it was the materials used to make the Array Plate, the level of the Array Master who crafted it, or the grade of the Array Plate, could be said to be the most top-notch in the Cultivation World.

Yet under such protection from a Concealing Array activated by the Array Plate, they were still found by a Great Cultivator, this made Yan Gao Great Cultivator wonder if there was something wrong with the Array Plate.

He soon sensed that everything was normal with the Array Plate, but indeed, they were found by a Great Cultivator.

He waved and put away the Array Plate, as since the opponent could find here, the Array Plate was of no use anymore.

"Li Shizhen!" Master Wang He saw Li Shiming and recognized his identity.

"Master Wang He, I didn’t expect Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect to unite, or are you preparing to merge into one sect?" Li Shiming said mockingly, he wasn’t too surprised by Master Wang He’s appearance, having some speculation.

Perhaps this identity is not well understood by Master Wang He, but another identity, the incarnation of Li Yuanba, fought alongside Master Wang He for nearly a year, having a deep understanding of him.
