1014. Determine the Action
Upon hearing this, although no one interrupted Xiao Yan, they all simultaneously felt immense, even suffocating, pressure. The Ancient Clan and Soul Clan were already quite powerful, and now with the appearance of an unknown nine-star Dou Sheng expert, the oppressive force was almost unbearable.
"When Chief Yan Jin fought him, the final result was a draw."
"The reason I want to talk about this is very simple: we are the ones who can't afford to wait. The peace on this continent won't last much longer; the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan have too much of an advantage. Our advantage is simply that our alliance is currently unknown to others. For the time being, we are the ones hiding in the shadows."
"We only have that one advantage, so naturally we have to make the most of it."
Xiao Yan had already discussed these topics with Little Fairy Doctor and Xun'er, so he spoke about them very fluently at this moment.
"That's why I'm so anxious. Now that all conditions are ripe, we must seize this opportunity to deliver a heavy blow to their alliance. Success in this battle won't just be about gaining a space; it will definitely buy us more breathing room. Time is exactly what we need most in our fight against the Soul Clan and Ancient Clan alliance!"
Xiao Yan spoke directly, and these were indeed his heartfelt words.
Ancestor Xiao Xuan used his advantage within the Heavenly Tomb to injure Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan, but this only bought them a short time. The Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan still held a significant advantage.
They were all absolutely unwilling to be swallowed up and ruled by the Soul Clan or the Ancient Clan.
If they succeed in their surprise attack this time, they will at least reduce the number of partners of the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan. To defeat these two, they need to seize every opportunity at hand, constantly nibbling away and weakening the enemy.
Seeing that no one else intended to speak after he finished speaking, Xiao Yan continued, "This is all the intelligence we have right now. The alliance has just been formed, and my decision alone is not enough. The final decision on whether to carry out this raid rests with you all."
Their alliance had just been formed, and Xiao Yan, as the newly elected leader, had no real say in the matter. Of course, precisely because this first action after the alliance's formation was so crucial, Xiao Yan couldn't afford to force anything.
"Actually, there's another matter. We're going to carry out a surprise attack, so our rear will be completely vulnerable. If the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan take this opportunity to attack us, wouldn't the situation become even more serious?" He Ning continued to ask.
Xiao Yan nodded without hesitation: "That's true, but all the experts above Dou Sheng in the Starfall Pavilion have been mobilized. If we are attacked from the rear, my family, wife, and children are in the Starfall Pavilion right now, and they are in the most danger."
When he said this, Xiao Yan felt quite heavy-hearted. He didn't want things to turn out this way, and he never liked putting the important people around him in danger.
But right now, in order for this extremely important raid to succeed, and in order to strengthen the conviction of others, it is necessary to say such things.
This was a consensus reached by the three of them last night. When Little Fairy Doctor conveyed this message to Xiao Yan, her attitude was even more resolute than Xiao Yan's.
Upon hearing this, He Ning was deeply moved and bowed to Xiao Yan with both hands: "Alliance Leader Xiao Yan's trip is indeed for the sake of the alliance's great cause, and I, He Ning, am completely convinced. We haven't even had time to avenge the Spirit Clan's ambush of our ancestor in the past. For both public and private reasons, our Pill Tower has no reason not to participate in this battle. We agree!"
Within the Pill Tower, He Ning was actually the steady and cautious type. The reason he "made things difficult" for Xiao Yan was not because he had forgotten the humiliation the Spirit Clan had inflicted on the Pill Tower, but precisely because of the intense hatred in his heart, which made him even more determined not to make any mistakes.
Even with his most rigorous scrutiny, he was indeed persuaded by the information Xiao Yan had prepared in advance.
"The Nine Netherworld Python Clan has agreed to the raid." Qing Lin had maintained a cold, observing demeanor since her arrival, saying little. But at this crucial moment, she surprisingly expressed her support for Xiao Yan very quickly.
For Qing Lin, this discussion was even superfluous. Even if Xiao Yan wanted to attack the Ancient Clan immediately, Qing Lin would only mobilize the forces under his command to the best of his ability to make Xiao Yan's wish come true.
"Burning Flame Valley agrees to participate." The Burning Flame Valley, where the Fire Cloud Ancestor is located, is the weakest, but because of his high regard for Xiao Yan, he didn't hesitate much.
"The Flower Sect agrees to participate." Fairy Hua looked at her senior sister's impatient appearance and gave a helpless bitter smile.
"The Yan Clan agrees to participate." Having extensive experience fighting against families descended from Dou Di, the Yan Clan had no doubts.
After a slight hesitation, Elder Qingshan realized he was the last force to remain silent, and said with some hesitation, "The Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void agrees to participate!"
After such a long discussion, all eight factions in the alliance agreed to the raid. This meant that the first official activity of this newly formed alliance was a raid on the Spirit Clan, an operation of this magnitude. Regardless of whether the battle succeeded or not, it would definitely shake the entire Central Continent.
"Alright! Xiao Yan thanks everyone for their support!"
"Although we are fully prepared, the war against the Eldar will likely still be extremely difficult."
Xiao Yan distributed jade slips again, one for each person, each containing information about the upcoming surprise attack.
"Here is the detailed information of all the Soul Clan's Dou Sheng level experts that we currently know of. Now we need to plan how to allocate our opponents after we make our move together."
Yan Jin immediately replied, "Of course we need to consider the powerful figures mentioned on the jade slip, but there is one more thing: when each Dou Di expert was still on the Dou Qi Continent, could they leave behind a branch of power for their family to use in dire situations?"
"Our Yan Clan is like that; we were saved from annihilation thanks to that power. The Spirit Clan likely has it too. If we're going to launch a surprise attack, we must take the remnants of that Dou Di's power into account!"
"May I ask Clan Chief Yan Jin, what exactly is the level of power left behind by this Dou Di?"
"Initially, it is extremely powerful, but as time goes by, this power will uncontrollably diminish. In the case of my Yan Clan, after releasing it all, we can reach the level of a half-step nine-star Dou Sheng."
Upon hearing this, everyone's initial excitement was dampened, and they came to their senses: fighting the Spirit Clan in the outside world was one difficulty, but to truly launch a surprise attack on the Spirit Clan would be drastically more difficult.
