1012. A Shocking Plan
Yan Jin asked proactively, "Does the Alliance Leader mean a separate space?"
Xiao Yan nodded and immediately followed up on Yan Jin's question.
"If we could have a separate small space like the descendants of the Dou Di family, we could move all our disciples there together. All the strong members of the alliance could then be managed in a unified manner, and there would be no more possibility of being restrained or ambushed."
Everyone understood what Xiao Yan meant; everyone knew the benefits of gathering together, but that wasn't the key point.
Elder He Ning of the Dan Tower said, "Everyone knows the benefits, but creating a small space is not something that can be done casually. Although a Dou Sheng has the ability to do it, the stability of a small space requires a long period of maintenance. Not to mention, the space that needs to be created to accommodate everyone in the alliance is extremely difficult to create. Even with Clan Chief Yan Jin, we may not be able to succeed."
"The most important reason why the Dou Di family has that small space is its profound foundation. It was only through years of continuous maintenance that it was finally formed."
Clearly, Elder He Ning of the Pill Tower was worried that Xiao Yan was too hasty, wanting to do something substantial as soon as he became the Alliance Leader to prove his qualifications. However, the direction Xiao Yan had chosen was obviously problematic, so he seized the opportunity to remind Xiao Yan: this matter is not so easy to do.
However, Xiao Yan remained unmoved upon hearing this and nodded in agreement: "Elder He Ning is indeed right. Creating an independent space is extremely difficult. Even if we have the manpower to complete it, the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan have probably already found out. Who knows what kind of chaos they will cause then."
Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then revealed his true intentions: "So, my goal isn't for us to create a new small space together, but to take what already exists!"
"As we all know, every family descended from a Dou Di has its own clan space. Coincidentally, the Spirit Clan is the weakest among the Dou Di descendant families, and now they are undisputedly on our opposite side."
Xiao Yan paused slightly, then said, enunciating each word clearly, "Why don't we take over the Spirit Realm of the Spirit Clan!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's idea, He Ning was momentarily stunned. He even doubted whether he had misheard, but seeing the expressions of the others, he realized he hadn't. However, he realized that he had already overestimated Xiao Yan's goals. Compared to Xiao Yan's true intentions, he had actually been somewhat conservative.
"What does the alliance leader mean?"
Xiao Yan replied without hesitation, "Take it by force! Behead them first, then steal it!"
To directly seize it, especially from the Spirit Clan, a descendant of a Dou Di, sounds like a complete fantasy.
As soon as Xiao Yan uttered this almost audacious idea, everyone's expressions changed to varying degrees.
Elder He Ning, Fairy Hua, Ancestor Huo Yun, and Elder Qing Shan all seemed to think they had misheard, staring intently at Xiao Yan until they saw his performance and realized that their hearing was perfectly fine.
Yan Jin, Huo Zhi, Mu Yaoyin, Yao Lao, and Qing Lin did not undergo any unusual changes.
Yao Ming, Yao Su, and Qing Xianzi were slightly surprised, but then seemed to be pondering the feasibility of what Xiao Yan had said.
Zi Yan was the most unique among them all, with an expectant look on her face, as if she couldn't wait for the war to start.
Xiao Yan had just deliberately given everyone time to react; he knew he needed to intensify his efforts to make this happen.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before we discuss the attack on the Eldar in detail, there are a few things I would like to share with you."
"First, according to the information I have obtained in the Heavenly Tomb, the Spirit Clan has allocated all the slots for entering the Heavenly Tomb to the Soul Clan, and even the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade has changed hands. It can be confirmed that because the Spirit Clan's attack on the Pill Tower failed, they were under too much pressure and turned to the Soul Clan."
"That should be true. I did see Soul Clan prodigies using the Spirit Clan's quota to enter the Heavenly Tomb. Moreover, the Soul Clan initially protected the Spirit Clan in the matter of attacking them." Huo Zhi, who had been silent for a long time, added in time. She and Xiao Yan were the ones who had actually entered the Heavenly Tomb, so she could naturally testify for Xiao Yan's words.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly at Huo Zhi and continued, "Secondly, the Supreme Elder Ling Haonan and Elder Ling He of the Spirit Clan perished in the attack on the Pill Tower. The Spirit Clan was already the weakest of the Dou Di's descendant families, and now its strength has plummeted to rock bottom. Now is the best time to take action against them."
"Third, we have learned the exact location of the Spirit Clan. Furthermore, with the help of my ancestor Xiao Xuan, I have taken control of the original Heavenly Tomb. Now there is a space that can be moved at any time. Everyone can hide inside, and only I need to act, which can ensure the secrecy of this operation to the greatest extent."
Xiao Yan said three things in a row, each of which was a major piece of information.
With those three sentences, he had laid out the situation before everyone. The Spirit Race was now on the opposing side, and now was the best time to attack; they also had the initial conditions to gain a greater advantage.
However, launching a surprise attack on the Spirit Clan is an extremely large undertaking, and it certainly won't garner everyone's support immediately. What Xiao Yan said was of such great importance that everyone was focused on sorting out their own thoughts and didn't immediately press Xiao Yan for answers.
Elder Qingshan of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan then asked, "Alliance Leader, now that we already have a small space, isn't the Heavenly Tomb suitable for us to enter?"
Xiao Yan shook his head: "The Heavenly Tomb is just a suitable place for cultivation. It contains a lot of the power of the dead. It is okay to cultivate there for a short time, but living there for a long time is harmful, especially for low-level disciples who do not have the strength of a Dou Zun."
Hua Xianzi of the Flower Sect then asked, "Alliance Leader, since the Spirit Clan has already pledged allegiance to the Soul Clan, and the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan have formed an alliance, then launching a surprise attack would be extremely unwise. Because if we give them even a little time to make contact, it could turn into a trap to lure us into."
"Faced with the combined attack of these three families descended from Dou Di, we have no chance of escaping unscathed."
Hua Xianzi remained remarkably rational. Because of her relationship with her senior sister and Yao Chen, she unhesitatingly supported Xiao Yan becoming the alliance leader. However, she firmly opposed the surprise attack, as the risk was indeed too high. She supported Xiao Yan, but she was by no means blindly following him.
"To prevent them from contacting us, we now have Chief Yan Jin. With his current strength, as long as he takes action to conceal the fluctuations within the Spirit Clan, we should be able to do so. At the same time, by using appropriate formations, we can cut off spatial fluctuations and prevent them from transmitting information outwards."
Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "And that's not all. Inside the Heavenly Tomb, my ancestor Xiao Xuan fought a duel with the strongest member of the Soul Clan, Soul Emperor, and the strongest member of the Ancient Clan, Gu Yuan. The final result was that he injured both of them. I believe that out of caution, these two strongest members of the Ancient and Soul Clans are currently recuperating. Without them, the surprise attack wouldn't have been detected halfway through."
