The Red Devil Sect's Assault Plan To the Cloud Sword Sect

“Why has the team we sent not returned yet?” The Red Demon Sect chief stared intently at the elders of the Inner Plates and Outer Plates, whereas they were in need of many Cultivators to be sacrificed in the manufacture of Blood Pills.

Blood Pills were extremely important to the Red Demon Sect, however, because thanks to these Blood Pills the Sect disciples would break through quickly and right now alone there were thousands of Chaos Ancient God realm Cultivators as well as hundreds of Hundred Absolute God realm disciples in the Red Demon Sect. It was an enormous power and he planned to rule over the Blue World and the plan started by attacking the Cloud Sword Sect. However, the team sent last night was not even heard from again.

“Could they have been defeated by the Cloud Sword Sect?” The Great Elder spoke up and he was also the Alchemist who developed the Blood Pill.

“But according to our spies there, no battle is going on inside the Cloud Sword Sect!” sahut the Outer Plateau elder who had arranged for some novice disciples to become spies there. “However, they had the arrival of one Absolute God realm Cultivator from the Huo Clan and his strength was not known for sure, either, but he easily fixed the Cloud Sword Sect's protective Array easily and sturdier than the previous one,” he said.

Sect Chief frowned and did not expect the Huo Clan to dare to interfere as well as help the Cloud Sword Sect—if only the Huo Clan was in the western region of the Blue World, then he will come to the Clan and eliminate them.

“Maybe it was he who had eliminated our people. What do you think of the Great Elder? Are we going to do a full-scale attack?” The Sect Leader asked the Supreme Elder's opinion.

The Great Elder took out two pieces of Dice and the dice in his left hand was the luck of the Cloud Sword Sect, while the Dice on the right was the luck of the Red Devil Sect.

He then throws both Dadu and Dadu on the right showing the Five, which is a lucky number they rarely get, as they usually always get the Six— number whereas the team that departed last night, is a lucky number, did not consult him first as he was busy making Blood Pills.

“Our luck decreased by one, whereas only against the small Sect?” moaning the Red Demon Sect Chief frowned. “This is a catastrophe!” he muttered, because when dealing with the previous middle-tier Sect, they had high luck. However, the direction of luck had changed and he had to change his strategy of attacking the Red Demon Sect in order not to become a ruin for his Sect.

The dice on the left were still circling non-stop, so the Great Elder felt that something was strange. “Could there be strong Cultivators secretly guarding them?” he muttered with a sour face.

The dice then stopped at Number Six, so the elders as well as the Sect Chief were surprised to see it. However, it suddenly shifted again to the number One and they immediately chuckled.

“Revealed the luck of Cloud Sword Sect at number One!”

“Means not those who have defeated the team we sent, could there be another Sect who joined helping them?”

The Sect Leader also thought so, so he had to send a much stronger team than last night, because there could have been a large Sect helping them.

“I think all the Elders of the Outer Coast and some elders of the Inner Plains who will take part in this raid,” said the Great Elder gave his input.

“Isn't that too much, Grand elder?” One of the elders of the Inner Plates disagreed with the proposal of the Great Elder. “The Cloud Sword Sect only has the Seven Cultivators of the Absolute God Realm and their luck is also only one, I feel that we will only humiliate the big name of the Red Demon Sect if we send all the Elders of the Outer Courtyard!” He breathed deeply.

“Keep those lucky numbers aside, but there was another party who was secretly helping them. So, if we come with great power, then they will hesitate to help again,” said the Great Elder gave a more reasonable explanation so that the elder supported his decision.

The Sect Leader thought for a moment, what decision he should take and he felt that what the Great Elder said was true as well.

“Alright, all the elders of the Outer Courtyard will take part in this raid and they will be accompanied by elders Gu Yun and Wei Tianlong from the Inner Courtyard elders,” Sect Chief said making a decision.

All the elders cupped fists to show respect and received the mandate he gave.

There were 500 Outer Plateau elders in the Red Devil Sect and they were Cultivators who had been Absolute God realm for the next 20 years and below and who were over 20 years would be appointed as the Elders of the Plateau Within, as well as their number there were 150.

...***...

“Sial! Nawat!” grumbled the Cloud Sword Sect Chief as he received a message from the disciple guarding the small City not far from his Sect, that there were about 30,000 Red Demon Sect Cultivators were heading to the Cloud Sword Sect. “Why are they moving so fast? Though our invitation to the other Sects has not yet got an answer, how could we possibly fight them!” His face paled thinking of the fate of his students who were already too late to evacuate them to safety.

The sixth elder immediately stood up and said, “We must ask mister Xiuhuan to strengthen the Protective Array. Maybe we can still survive for a year, because our food supply was just filled full a few days ago!” This is the only way to survive, he said.

“Will he agree to do that? Since he came here, to see who his Huo Clan members are taking on the mission we gave him and I'm sure he must be bored if he had to stay here for so long!” sahut Sect Chief felt Xiuhuan would not accept their proposal.

The sixth elder clenched his hand and bit his red lips, not knowing how to save the Sect that had raised him.

“I'll persuade herself with my body!” The sixth elder made the difficult decision of his life and thought it was fine to sacrifice himself in order to save the thousands of lives of the disciples of the Cloud Sword Sect who did not know why they had to die today.

“Whataaaaaaaaa?” The Fifth Elder smacked the table made of jade before him into pieces. “I rejected that proposal! Miss Lian, why should you demean your dignity. We better force him to do that and if he won't, just kill him!” Fifth Elder did not accept—the woman he loved so much even became a cheap lacurr who gave up her body to survive.

“Fifth Chairman!” snarled the sixth elder. “We don't have any relationship! So, whatever I want to do and one more thing, I'm not doing this for you. However, for thousands of lives the disciples of the Cloud Sword Sect. Do you think only of your own safety? If so, leave right now, maybe you still have a chance!” The sixth elder did not accept the words of the fifth elder that hurt his heart.

“Please calm down!” the First Elder. “How about we vote only, the most votes will win and everyone must agree with the decision taken by the sixth elder.” The First Elder looked at the Sect Chief who immediately sighed deeply as it was difficult to make a decision, but time was getting narrower to think of another way of surviving the attacks of the Red Devil Sect and he finally decided to agree with the First elder's proposal.

“I refuse!” shouted the Fifth elder first.

“I agree!” sahut the First elder, so that the Fifth elder stared intently at him.

“I refuse!” exclaimed the Sect Chief with a long sigh.

“I agree!” sahut the Second Elder.

“I also agree!” said the Third elder.

“Please reject senior!” the Fifth elder exclaimed to the fourth elder, because if he refused then the vote would be balanced and the decision of the sixth elder to hand over his body to Xiuhuan would be void.

The fourth elder was feeling depressed, his mind wanted to resist. However, thousands of lives would be lost in order to save one woman who would not actually die and perhaps the sixth elder liked it, because the man was very handsome and the old man seemed to admit that, he said, he had not seen a man as handsome as him in hundreds of years.

The fourth elder took a deep breath and said, “I agree with the decision of the sixth elder!”

“Sial!” swear the Fifth Elder as he left the room.

The Sixth Elder just kept quiet and closed his eyes and in his heart actually he wanted to apologize to the Fifth elder. However, if he did that, then surely the fifth elder asked himself to cancel his plan.
