Chapter 1376 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, but the Oriole Is Behind
"The top immortal gates don't have an easy life either!"
This is the sigh of a strong man who doesn't want to reveal his identity, when others envy the top immortal gates for their abundant resources.
Many strong men believe that the top immortal gates have more resources, and their lives must be prosperous, and the resources they have are simply inexhaustible.
In fact, this is not the case. Except for the newly rising top immortal gates like Shenxiao Sect, which have insufficient disciples and too many resources, the other top immortal gates seem to have a lot of resources, but they have many disciples and need more resources.
In addition, except for the Taoist Academy, the other vassal immortal gates of Shenxiao Sect are in a state of inaction and are not demanding. This also means that apart from occasionally giving resources and providing protection, they do not need to be bound by too many interests.
But some of the other top immortal gates have many vassals, which are part of their influence. While they can help them do many things, they also need to provide some resource support.
Just like the Canglang Palace under Xuantian Sect, it is good that Canglang Palace handed over some materials as a blessing, but when Xuantian Sect needs Canglang Palace to do something, it also needs to provide a corresponding price, not free of charge.
This has caused that even though Xuantian Sect is a top immortal sect, it still does not have so many resources in its hands, especially they are determined to restore their former glory and influence, they need to recruit more people and pay more resources.
So when the Outer Dao Alliance used Bai Xiaosheng to buy the sixth-generation warship, they responded actively. In addition to letting the war burn, they also wanted to obtain more resources to enhance their combat power.
Originally, they wanted to use the opportunity of selling the sixth-generation warship technology to obtain a batch of sufficient resources, and then forge new warships for Xuantian Sect, or use it to settle accounts with some support materials like Canglang Palace.
Unfortunately, because the Outer Dao Alliance insisted on the finished sixth-generation warship, this transaction did not succeed in the end, but let the Shenxiao Sect take the opportunity to intercept and make this transaction.
At the beginning, Xuantian Sect did not feel disappointed. After all, one of their goals was achieved. Some people were willing to continue to support the Outer Dao Alliance and fight against Buddhism, and continue to bleed Buddhism.
Especially in the current situation, not only do they not need to personally fight against Buddhism, but the foundation of Shenxiao Sect is stronger than theirs, and the results of the battle are expected to be more brilliant.
However, when they really got the specific news of this transaction, including the transaction price between the two parties, Xuantian Sect regretted it very much and was somewhat broken.
"No, you are prepared to pay such a high price, why didn't you say it in advance?"
"Even if I said I would not sell the finished sixth-generation battleship, but you said your price first. If I knew this price, I would definitely sell it!"
This is the true portrayal of many powerful people in Xuantian Sect, and they regretted it.
Although their sixth-generation battleship may have some gaps compared to the sixth-generation battleship of Shenxiao Sect, such a gap is definitely not big. If there is really no competitor, it can be sold at such a price.
Some of the masters of Xuantian Sect roughly calculated that if the price of the deal between the two parties was really calculated, the resources of a finished sixth-generation warship plus the finished sixth-generation warship technology and the consulting fees for helping the other party to cast the sixth-generation warship would almost allow them to cast two more sixth-generation warships.
If the deal was really successful, then with one in and one out, their combat power would not only not be reduced, but would be improved a lot.
But there is no regret medicine to take in reality. After the Outer Dao Alliance has purchased the finished sixth-generation warship, they can no longer come up with such a price. Even the price of the second ship sold by Shenxiao Sect is not as high as the first one.
However, although the sixth-generation warship was not sold to obtain resources, the fact that the Outer Dao Alliance was willing to pay such a high price to buy the sixth-generation warship is enough to prove the determination of the Outer Dao Alliance and the Buddhist Sect to fight to the end.
Therefore, Xuantian Sect changed its mind. Since you don’t want to buy the sixth-generation warship, do you want the fourth-generation and fifth-generation warships?
You know, even if they have not suffered any losses in the territory of Buddhism, the continuous battles between the two sides will cause these warships to be damaged continuously, and gradually unable to exert their true combat power.
It is true that the Outer Dao Alliance has the ability to cast fifth-generation and sixth-generation warships, but now their casting speed is definitely not as fast as the speed of damage, not to mention that many of the Outer Dao Alliance's own weapon craftsmen still need to learn to cast new sixth-generation warships, and have no time to cast new fifth-generation and fourth-generation warships.
Therefore, Xuantian Sect took the initiative to promote its own fifth-generation and fourth-generation warships, hoping to obtain some resources, even if it is to sell the old ones and cast new ones by itself, it is also an improvement.
Faced with the repeated promotions of Xuantian Sect, Tie Qianshan thought about it and decisively agreed to it.
One reason is that while the fleets of King Kong Sect Master and Zi Tianxiong continued to win, the fleets also suffered considerable injuries and needed timely updates and maintenance, and they did not have time to cast new warships.
Another thing is that now they also need the secret support of some top immortal sects. Xuantian Sect is now vigorously promoting these warships, which, in a sense, is also supporting them to continue the war with Buddhism.
In such a situation, even for their own interests, Xuantian Sect would sometimes support them and let them continue the war.
Anyway, it's nothing more than some resources. Casting new warships by yourself also requires resources. Directly purchasing finished products also saves a lot of time and replenishes combat power in time.
Therefore, King Kong Sect Master and Zi Tianxiong also continuously transported the materials they plundered back, and then continuously updated the warships. In this case, although the war continued, they managed to fight to support the war, and became stronger.
This time, they were able to arrive here at such a fast speed and support the three-party alliance. They had these fifth-generation and fourth-generation warships, which was a great help. It can be said that the credit has a lot to do with Xuantian Sect.
The Outer Dao Alliance met its own needs to replenish combat power and received support from the top immortals; Xuantian Sect sold warships to obtain materials, replaced its own fleet, and also achieved the purpose of bleeding the Buddhist sect.
This is a win-win situation. The only one who is dissatisfied is the Buddhist sect. However, let’s not talk about whether the Buddhist sect has received this news. What’s more, the Shenxiao Sect, which sold the sixth-generation warship first, is dissatisfied with the Buddhist sect.
“It seems that we have arrived at the right time!” The leader of the Vajra Sect led many monks and drove a sixth-generation warship to look at the two sides fighting in front of him, and said with a smile.
Zi Tianxiong, the host of another sixth-generation warship, said: “In this case, let’s take action. Destroying this fleet is enough to hurt the Buddhist sect.”
After that, the fleets of both parties decisively attacked the fleets and strong men of the Buddhist sect and were involved in the melee.
So far, the three parties have been fighting in a melee, with the three major immortal sects and the foreign alliance fighting against the Buddhist sect. Not to mention the number of real immortals and gods involved, but the number of warships exceeds more than 200, which can be said to be the largest war so far.
The coalition forces of the three major immortal sects were only defeated in the face of the attack of Buddhism. With the joining of these powerful men from the Outer Dao Alliance, the situation immediately reversed.
This time, the Buddhist meditation arhat made a plan to surround and attack the reinforcements, wipe out the coalition forces of the three major immortal sects at one time, completely eliminate their threats, and use this to deter the immortal sects that were ready to move.
But what he didn't expect was that the three major immortal sects actually wanted to take this opportunity to dig a hole for Buddhism, so that Buddhism would be injured and temporarily unable to launch an attack, so as to buy time for themselves to continue to urgently need combat power.
After this period of battles, the Outer Dao Alliance, even if they have won successive victories, such a series of battles are extremely tiring for the true immortals, not to mention those strongest ones.
They also want to find an opportunity to severely damage the Buddhist fleet, and then turn the fleet back to deal with the Heavenly Court coalition to rescue Xue Wuhen who was constantly besieged by the Heavenly Court coalition.
You know, even after Xue Wuhen took charge of those branches, he chose to gather strength and took the initiative to give up several branches and defend.
However, for such a long time, they were constantly eroded by the Heavenly Court coalition, and they lost branches and strong men one after another, and they could not hold on for long.
With this idea, the Outer Dao Alliance took the initiative to consult with the three major immortal sects, and thus formulated such a plan to ambush the Buddhist sect.
Although this plan is somewhat similar to the method that Zhao Baiyang used to ambush several Arhats and Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist sect in conjunction with the two demon kings, sometimes the trick is not about being old, but about being effective. This time, the Buddhist sect repeated the same mistake again.
You know that the Outer Dao Alliance knew earlier than the Buddhist sect that someone was impersonating them and using their identities to constantly attack, harass and plunder the world resources of the Buddhist sect, but the Outer Dao Alliance pretended not to know and took the initiative to take the blame, just to allow the intervening forces to continue to expand the results of the battle and could not give up.
If the people of the Outer Dao Alliance were eager to join forces with them and propose this plan when the strong men of Yanxia Holy Land just started, they would be very hesitant even if they had the support of Daojun.
After all, if they have enough benefits, it is okay to fight for the benefits that are immediately obtained, and it is okay to take risks for the benefits that are only possible to obtain, but it is a big problem to bet everything at the beginning.
I have never seen anyone playing Landlord directly with a king bomb, even a fool would not play like this.
Therefore, even if the Outer Dao Alliance learned about the actions of the three major immortal gates of Yanxia Holy Land at the beginning, they still let it go and covered for them. In the final analysis, it was to let these three immortal gates get enough benefits first, let them make enemies with the Buddhist sect and cannot compromise, and also to make them unable to give in.
Now that the Buddhist sect has sent a large army to attack Huanglong, and is clearly aiming to destroy them, the three sects know that they cannot compromise. After all, whether they are willing to give up the benefits they have obtained is another matter.
Besides, the current situation is not something they can decide. It concerns the Taoist who supports them and the influence of the Shenxiao Sect.
Why did the Shenxiao Sect sell them the finished sixth-generation warships? The idea within the Shenxiao Sect is to replace and cast quasi-seventh-generation warships.
But in the eyes of the outside parties and the three sects, their real purpose is to make the Buddhist sect fall into the current quagmire of war and continue to bleed the Buddhist sect.
Otherwise, with just so many resources, can they easily buy the sixth-generation warships, or finished products?
You should know that in the era when the seventh-generation battleships had not yet appeared, the sixth-generation battleships were the important support and foundation of many immortal gates. They were the monopoly items of the top immortal gates. Even some large immortal gates bought finished products without real technology, and they paid an unknown amount for the sixth-generation battleships.
Now that the three immortal gates have taken the things, they turned around and compromised with the Buddhist sect. If this spread out, what would the Shenxiao sect think? Do they still want to survive?
It can be said that when they asked the Shenxiao sect to buy the sixth-generation battleships through the channels of Bai Xiaosheng and the Outer Dao Alliance, they were destined not to compromise.
Fighting to the death with the Buddhist sect, with the support of the strong behind them, there is a possibility of winning, and even if they lose, they can wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.
However, if they betray their current camp and compromise with the Buddhist sect, the Buddhist sect is destined to be only temporarily tolerant. With the domineering situation of the Buddhist sect, they will inevitably deal with them, and their supporters behind them will also suppress them. They are destined to die.
Therefore, when the Outer Dao Alliance proposed to join forces to ambush the Buddhist sect, the three major immortal sects readily agreed and set up a trap to wait for the Buddhist sect to fall into the trap.
The plan of the Contemplating Arhat went smoothly, which was not because of the promotion of these two parties behind the scenes, and even the Taoist Lord was covering it behind the scenes.
At this moment, the reinforcements of the Outer Dao Alliance rushed out, and the two sides worked together to reverse the situation. They began to ruthlessly suppress the strong men and fleets of the Buddhist sect without holding back.
For them, the Buddhist sect is a behemoth. Only by taking this opportunity to weaken the Buddhist sect and let the Buddhist sect suffer a setback can they gain more time for themselves.
"How could this be, why are the people from the Outer Dao Alliance here!" A Venerable Arhat looked horrified.
They originally had a huge advantage, and it was only a matter of time before they won, but now the people from the Outer Dao Alliance came out and the situation was reversed.
"Sure enough, I expected it. The conspiracy and tricks of these people are waiting for us." The Contemplating Arhat saw this scene, but he was not surprised. Instead, a look of "as expected" appeared on his face.
It seems that the trump card he prepared was correct. This time he can completely achieve his goal in one fell swoop and completely clear all obstacles. (End of this chapter)
