"We don't know what the True Immortal Realm is like, but I'm afraid all of us combined can't stop a True Immortal, right?"

"The other party probably doesn't only have True Immortal Realm cultivators. I'm afraid they also have those in the Immortality Regainment Realm. Currently, our Hundred Peaks Sect doesn't even have a presence in the Immortality Regainment Realm."

"No, isn't it true that Immortal Ruo Yun has already broken through to the Immortality Regainment Realm?"

"But it's only Immortal Ruo Yun, just one person."

The crowd looked at Ruo Yun, standing beside Cao Zhen. Ruo Yun was a reincarnated Great Ability. Previously, she had reached the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, and after the Heavenly Dao no longer suppressed the cultivators' cultivation bases, she naturally broke through to the Immortality Regainment Realm. But she had just entered the Immortality Regainment Realm.

"We fear that even if we exert the full force of our sect, we can't resist them."

"Then what? Should we run? If we run, how can we hold our heads up in the future?"

"Running is better than sacrificing in vain. Didn't the Sect Hierarch once say? 'As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.'"

"But we need those green hills. If our entire sect leaves, can we still call ourselves the Hundred Peaks Sect? Where will we find a new mountain stronghold? Without a suitable mountain stronghold, our cultivation progress would be extremely slow.

Moreover, we might not even find a stronghold. We can't learn from that Death River Sect and seize another sect's mountain stronghold, can we?"

"Then what do you suggest we do? Send everyone to their deaths? Eventually, our Hundred Peaks Sect might be truly destroyed. No matter what, as long as we leave, our legacy can continue. We would then have a chance for revenge!"

"Right, I also support leaving. There's no way you look at it; we're not a match for a powerful sect. We can temporarily retreat, and I believe that under the leadership of the Sect Hierarch, we will continuously grow stronger and eventually surpass that Death River Sect. Then it will be our chance to take revenge!"

"What you say is true, but once we retreat this time, the morale of our sect will scatter."

For a time, the middle-aged man argued.

"So, do you have any other ideas? If we don't retreat, do we just stay here and wait for death?"

"Perhaps, there might be other ways to stop them?" Suddenly, someone in the crowd looked at Cao Zhen and asked, "Sect Hierarch, can we possibly ask for help from experts of other great sects to intimidate the members of the Death River Sect? For instance, experts from the Dragon Chant Sect and the Yin Yang Sect?"

As the words fell, the surrounding crowd reacted one after another.

"Right, our Hundred Peaks Sect has always maintained good relations with the Dragon Chant Sect and the Yin Yang Sect. Both of those great sects have experts in the True Immortal Realm! If they step in, I suppose the Death River Sect wouldn't attack us so rashly."

"The key is whether they would help us."

"It's hard to say for the Yin Yang Sect, but the Dragon Chant Sect should help, right?"

"That's also uncertain." Nie Jie looked at Cao Zhen's slightly furrowed brow, sighing softly, "If they have no benefit, they probably won't offend a great sect from the Central Continent lightly.

Besides, asking others for help would incur debts of gratitude."

He glanced at Cao Zhen but didn't verbalize a particular thought, knowing that people spoke of the Dragon Chant Sect stepping in due to the relationship between the Sect Hierarch and Immortal Bi Yue of the Dragon Chant Sect.

The problem is, although Immortal Bi Yue holds a high position in the Dragon Chant Sect, it's because of her family and her master. After all, she is still a junior and not personally powerful. In matters of major sect importance, she might have little say.

Cao Zhen slightly furrowed his brows. If he personally asked Bi Yue, Bi Yue would certainly help. Given her status, it's likely the Dragon Chant Sect would make a move. But whether they could block the other party is another question.

Even if the Dragon Chant Sect made a move, they might only dispatch one or two experts. But what if the other side resolves to attack the Hundred Peaks Sect?

In such a case, the Dragon Chant Sect might not be able to stop them.

Moreover, having the Dragon Chant Sect help would undoubtedly come at a significant cost for the Hundred Peaks Sect.

If there were other ways, he really wouldn't want to ask the Dragon Chant Sect for help.

"As you mention seeking help from the Dragon Chant Sect, it reminds me, should we inform the whole world about this current situation? Let everyone know of the Death River Sect's behavior, that they seize other sects' strongholds even now, rather than focus on dealing with the six great alien races! This way..."

"This way, the Death River Sect may become infuriated and could act recklessly, perhaps even attacking us prematurely."

"Indeed, even if we inform the world of the Death River Sect's actions, what would that achieve? Other great sects might at most criticize them, but they wouldn't engage in a death battle with a great sect for our sake."

"In our Eastern Wasteland, and even the entire Eastern Province, the human cultivators have no unified alliance hierarch; everyone fights individually, with maximum cooperation as nearby sect alliances. Thus, in such a situation, there is no enforcing sect."

"This method won't work. Are there any other ideas?"

"Are we really unable to stop them?"

In the crowd, Bei Yan looked at the increasingly troubled people, recalling the Bead of Time and Space in Xiang Ziyu's hand, and suddenly spoke: "Master, doesn't senior brother have half of the Bead of Time and Space? He and the White Tiger have never used that bead. Do you think if the third senior brother convinces the White Tiger to give you the Bead of Time and Space, using it would grant you a thousand years of cultivation time?
