Chapter 464

"There are three Mahayana true saints in the Golden Toad Palace, and there are also three in the Penglai Palace. They are also supported by Murong Sui, the pinnacle Mahayana saint."

Cao Cuo stared at the other party: "Coupled with hundreds of thousands of years of solid foundation, how can the Golden Toad Palace orthodoxy be defeated steadily, and even the sea area of ​​​​the Green Demon Kingdom has been eroded?"

If things were normal, the Penglai Palace should have the absolute advantage and completely suppress the Golden Toad Palace. How could the situation be reversed in 200 years?
Ao Wenyuan sighed and said: "The fall of the two saints on Sanxian Island was caused by the division of troops among the six saints. The reason for the division of troops was that Penglai Palace had selfish motives and did not want to divide the spoils equally so that Murong Sui could benefit."

"Therefore, after that incident, Murong Sui returned directly to the Southern Wilderness Territory, leaving the Penglai Palace's Mahayana True Saints in a dilemma due to lack of fighting power."

"Coupled with the uniqueness of Shen Zhuan's method, which can quickly improve cultivation, increase combat power, and have the miraculous effect of extending life span, it has attracted a large number of reclusive masters of casual cultivation, even in the sea area of ​​​​the Blue Demon Kingdom. Those who defected to the temple due to their fame also allowed the Golden Toad Palace orthodoxy to quickly close the gap with the Penglai Palace in just 200 years."

Cao Cuo pondered: "From this point of view, it is the combination of the Jin Chan Palace's Taoism and the strength of the casual cultivators in the East China Sea that overwhelmed the Penglai Palace's foundation in one fell swoop."

"That's right." Ao Wenyuan nodded, "The strength of the casual cultivators in Donghai was already extremely strong. They were originally in a state of disunity, so they were suppressed by the Penglai Palace and lost much momentum. Now, the Taoism of the Golden Toad Palace came out of the blue to conquer them. They gather into one, like a torrent, so they gradually surpass the Penglai Palace."

After a pause, he added: "Of course, it is also because the Penglai Palace has been in peace for too long. Although the disciples in the sect have strong inheritance, they are not as brave as the casual cultivators to fight and kill, so they are gradually weakening."

Cao Cuo looked at him intently: "You just said that the East China Sea is about to undergo earth-shaking changes. What are you referring to?"

Ao Wenyuan raised his hand and said: "The situation in the sea area of ​​​​the Green Demon Kingdom is in a bad situation. The Penglai Palace has promised huge profits and will join forces with the Southern Wilderness Great Sect to wipe out the Golden Toad Palace in one fell swoop."

Cao Cuo asked: "Where did the news come from? Is it reliable?"

"The news came from Taojun Ao Xin." Ao Wenyuan responded, "It should be reliable."

Samsara Pan said excitedly: "This is a good thing. Chaos is about to arise in the East China Sea. With your current strength and the advantage of being in the dark, it is not difficult to profit from it."

Ao Wenyuan also held up his hand and said: "If the Golden Toad Palace is breached by the saints, it will not be difficult to bite off a large piece of meat with our intelligence advantage."

Cao Cuo shook his head gently: "Things won't be that simple."

After a pause, he looked at the other party: "Is there any big movement in the Golden Toad Palace?"

"There's no movement. They don't seem to know about it yet." Ao Wenyuan replied.

"That's strange." Cao Cuo frowned, "It's often enemies who know each other best. We can all get the news, and the Golden Toad Palace should also get it. Why is there no movement."

Samsara Pan guessed: "Perhaps the force was established not long ago and the intelligence network has not been perfected, so no news was received."

"This is impossible." Cao Cuo waved his hand, "Huntian Lao'er is so deep in the city, how could he let go of spying on Penglai Palace information? There is no reason for such negligence. He didn't know about such a big thing."

Ao Wenyuan pondered: "Maybe he also had his own arrangements and didn't want to leak the news, so he didn't show any abnormalities."

"Most likely." Cao Cuo looked at the other party and asked directly: "If you were the Great Sage Huntian, how would you deal with this situation?" Ao Wenyuan thought for a moment: "If the Green Demon Kingdom and the Southern Wilderness were If the teachers join forces to attack, it will be extremely difficult to deal with it only by relying on their own strength. To resolve the dilemma, there are only two ways."

"The first is to disintegrate the alliance between Penglai Palace and the Southern Wilderness Great Sect, and the second is to find another party for strong support."

His eyes suddenly lit up: "If the Great Sage Huntian also offers enough chips to allow the Southern Wilderness Sect to cooperate with them, they can also disintegrate the strong support of Penglai Palace at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."

Cao Cuo smiled: "What you said is a good strategy, but it is too difficult to implement. There is a big gap between the foundations of Jinchan Palace and Penglai Palace."

"Penglai Palace can certainly provide the bargaining chips that the Golden Toad Palace can provide, but the benefits that the Penglai Palace can provide may not necessarily be provided by the Golden Toad Palace."

"It's easy now." Samsara Pan interjected, "Huntian can promise everything in Penglai Palace to Nanhuang. In this way, the other party's heart will definitely be moved."

"Absolutely impossible." Cao Cuo shook his head and said with a smile: "Huntian will not be so stupid. If he uses this as a condition to discuss with Nanhuang, how can the other party believe in the bargaining chip promised by the white wolf? ? If Penglai Palace’s influence in the Southern Wilderness Grand Sect exceeds his expectation, and he takes this opportunity to plot against him and strike back, I’m afraid he will lose everything.”

"Besides, even if his cooperation with the Southern Wilderness Great Religion is successful, it is just an act of seeking skin from a tiger, driving the tiger away and devouring the wolf. In the end, if the East China Sea is weak, it will only end up being eaten by the tiger."

Ao Wenyuan nodded: "It makes sense. From this point of view, the Great Sage Huntian should not dare to cooperate with Nanhuang. Could it be..."

He thought: "Could he go to the Daxia Academy to cooperate? The Daxia Academy has a feud with the Southern Wilderness Sect. If the Golden Toad Palace cooperates with them, they can just overpower the Penglai Palace."

"Daxia Academy?" Samsara Pan was surprised when he heard this, "Penglai Palace is a wolf, Southern Wilderness Grand Sect is a tiger, then Daxia Academy is a real dragon, Huntian Laoer really cooperates with Daxia Academy , how can it end well and not be afraid of becoming its vassal?"

"Of course he's not afraid." Cao Cuo looked deeply and said slowly: "Old Huntian has learned the divine method. He is so cruel to himself. He is a cold-hearted person. What he pursues is longevity and long-term vision, the Golden Toad Palace. It is just a testing ground for studying the divine method, and using it to collect the Taoist luck and the will power of all living beings in the East China Sea, in order to transform itself into an immortal weapon."

"He doesn't care about the future of Golden Toad Palace. Even if he cooperates with Daxia Academy, what if he becomes its vassal?"

"The Great Xia Academy is located in the Central Capital and has its own troubles. It is absolutely impossible to project too much power to control the East China Sea. Even if the Golden Toad Palace becomes a vassal, it will still be the overlord of the East China Sea. For the Taoist lineage of Mr. Huntian Ancestor, there will be no adverse effects.”

The reincarnation disk vibrates violently.

"If everything is true as you say, this incident in the East China Sea will involve the other two regions, making it a messy water and extremely dangerous."

"How are you going to deal with it?"

Cao Cuo looked unmoved: "Of course, we should remain unchanged to cope with the ever-changing situation."

He stared at Ao Wenyuan: "Based on the current situation, when will the war between the Golden Toad Palace and Penglai Palace break out?"

Ao Wenyuan sighed: "The current information is limited and it is impossible to determine the time. It can be as short as one and a half years, or as long as three to fifty years. It is possible..."
