[Interpersonal relationships require good communication.]
[The same holds true for the Demon Clan.]
Every word Ye Yu spoke struck a chord in Bu Haoyan’s heart.
Especially the last line: If we’re going to fight, let’s fight the fiercest and most ruthless one.
Amazing! Simply amazing! Bu Haoyan’s blood boiled, and he felt an overwhelming surge of energy that demanded release.
He asked eagerly, “Elder Ye, who should we attack? Name a target, and I’ll issue the order right now! No hesitation!”
Ye Yu turned, pointed at the map on the wall, and declared with resolute clarity, “Zhaomo Pass!”
“That’s it, let’s attack Zhaomo—”
Bu Haoyan started enthusiastically but faltered halfway through his sentence.
Zhaomo Pass was universally acknowledged as the strongest sect within a million-mile radius.
Its sect leader’s power and its foundational strength both far surpassed those of Heavenly Dragon Cliff.
Though Bu Haoyan was a battle fanatic eager to make a name for his sect, he wasn’t a fool.
He understood the vast disparity between the two sects.
This was a hopelessly one-sided fight with a predetermined outcome.
So, he forced a smile and said, “Elder Ye, how about we pick a different target? I know you’re brimming with ambition and eager to achieve great things, but Heavenly Dragon Cliff just can’t measure up to them.”
As he spoke, Bu Haoyan felt his face grow hot.
His earlier bold declarations now felt like they were slapping him in the face.
Point and we’ll strike? The first target and he was already backing down.
It was truly embarrassing.
Afraid that Ye Yu might leave in anger and sever their newfound camaraderie, Bu Haoyan quickly added, “Actually, it’s not that we can’t fight them. It’s just that we need to wait for the right time! If we want to claim the title of the strongest someday, we’ll undoubtedly have to face Zhaomo Pass.”
Ye Yu didn’t say a word, only gazing at Bu Haoyan with a look of disappointment.
The sect leader’s voice grew quieter and quieter until it became almost inaudible.
Bu Haoyan, a dignified sect master with Sky Demon-level cultivation, felt utterly humiliated, lowering his head like a child caught doing something wrong.
[Demonic cultivation levels after the Ascension stage, in ascending order: Earth Demon, Sky Demon, Mystic Demon, Demon King, Demon Lord, Demon Emperor, Demon Sovereign, Demon Monarch.]
Seeing this, Ye Yu decided to fan the flames further.
He let out a disappointed sigh and said with heartfelt sincerity, “Sect Master, do you think I’m unaware of the gap between us and Zhaomo Pass?
But the reason I suggested targeting them first isn’t to make things difficult for you.
It’s to help you take the first step in our plan.
Squashing soft targets is for old grannies.
Everyone in the Demon Lord Bai Xichu’s territory knows that Zhaomo Pass is the strongest.
But so what?
We’ll fight the strongest!
That’s the Heavenly Dragon Cliff way!
Daring to do what others deem impossible!
Tell me, who else in the world has such courage?
I guarantee, once we make our move, Heavenly Dragon Cliff will become a household name.
Even if we don’t take down Zhaomo Pass, securing the title of second strongest won’t be an issue.”
Bu Haoyan’s eyes began to gleam.
In Bai Xichu’s domain, Heavenly Dragon Cliff wasn’t even in the top five sects.
