Chapter 93: Chapter 88: The Battle Is Imminent (Third Update, Please Subscribe)_3 Hou Shuwen’s tone shifted as he spoke. Originally, he thought that the Heavenly Person Xiao must have been mistaken; how could there possibly be another Heavenly Person hidden within the Divine Sword Sect? Experts were few in number. If there really was one, concealing their identity would be impossible. But now, that mysterious person had captured these two for the Divine Sword Sect, preemptively exposing a conspiracy against it. Therefore, that mysterious person must be a member of the Divine Sword Sect. Otherwise, such actions would be unthinkable. But why hide their identity? And who, with such formidable cultivation strength, could it be? Several Peak Masters were present here. Among the Sword Masters and elders with real power, there couldn’t possibly be such a powerful being. Everyone present found it difficult to comprehend. "No matter who that mysterious person is, regardless, they hold no malice towards our Divine Sword Sect, perhaps even favoring us. So, what we need to do now is make ample preparations for the upcoming conflict with the Luo Royal House," said Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu. Everyone nodded in agreement, then began to strategize for the impending attack from the Luo Royal House. ... Li Qian did not linger in the Divine Sword Hall; after leaving the people behind, he headed back to Chen Bell Platform. Acting without seeking fame or credit, he brushes off his sleeves and departs. He believed the Divine Sword Sect had ways to make those two speak. After taking off the black cloak, Li Qian stored it in the Black Iron Ring, then sat cross-legged on the Chen Bell Platform, cultivating in tranquility, waiting for 5 a.m. to arrive. In the following days, there was significant activity within the Divine Sword Sect. First was the order for the Inner Sect Disciples stationed across various locations to shift from overt to covert operations, moving closer to several key provincial strongholds. The Divine Sword Sect also assigned some elder-level masters to secretly enter these key strongholds to strengthen their defenses. The Luo Royal House, intending to confront the Divine Sword Sect, would surely start by eliminating these external strongholds. Especially important were iron mine cities like Xuanzhou Yecheng, which were absolutely vital to keep. Should the Luo Royal House seize it, they would control the source of fine iron, enabling an unceasing production of weapons and armor, rapidly expanding their Martial Arts Army. Internally, the Divine Sword Sect also made important deployments; to prevent enemy infiltration, Inner Sect Disciples were assigned to patrol the mountain regions surrounding the Divine Sword Sect. Additionally, the Divine Sword Sect began recalling some of the retired elders who still had combat capabilities. Some Martial Arts Families and forces established by generations of Inner Sect Disciples were covertly mobilized as well, a very strong latent force. The history of the Divine Sword Sect was very long, and many Inner Sect Disciples would eventually return home to establish and manage their family forces, unless they served as elders in the sect. Martial Arts Forces intricately linked with the Divine Sword Sect were ubiquitous within the sect’s sphere of influence. This was also an important factor constituting the sphere of influence of the Divine Sword Sect. ... Such significant movements naturally did not escape Li Qian’s notice. It seemed that he indeed caught a big fish previously. However, he still rang the bell and practiced his cultivation every day as if he were oblivious to the tense situation outside. Should a great battle occur, all he could do was to meet the soldiers with fortitude and contain the flood with earth. With his strength... he was confident that unless a Heavenly Person intervened, he should not have much of a problem. Of course, if a Heavenly Person did appear... it would be in his best interest to take the Chen Bell and flee as far as possible. Preserve the green mountains, and you won’t lack for firewood. He could always wait until he became stronger to help the Divine Sword Sect seek revenge; there was no need for pointless sacrifice. Of course, this was a scenario in the worst-case scenario. ...
