Chapter 772: Chapter 392: Speculation, Annihilation of a Family [Subscribe Requested]
In the Tianjing Sect’s mountain gate.
Yu Jinghua suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
If things were as he speculated, then as the Vice Sect Leader, was he also a disposable piece that could be abandoned at any time?
“No, I must clarify this matter. Otherwise, I might die without understanding why!”
Clenching his fists, he set off for the abode of Tianjing True Person.
“Elder Ancestor, please see clearly. Now fires arise from all directions, and every clan and sect within Lingzhou is under attack by families under the command of the Green Lotus Temple. The destruction of homes and loss of lives are but a matter of time, and every clan is looking forward to our sect’s intervention.”
“In my humble opinion, if our sect does not intervene now, we will lose the people’s hearts. Even if we achieve great things in the future, it will be difficult to gather their loyalty!”
Outside the mist-shrouded Formation, Yu Jinghua bowed toward the area enshrouded in mist and presented his views respectfully.
This was also his way of probing.
But after his words were spoken, there was no reply for a long time.
However, Yu Jinghua seemed determined, as if he would not leave without a reply, and he stood there waiting.
After waiting a full two hours, a deep and powerful voice finally reached his ears.
“There is no need to worry. People’s hearts are fickle. Once we ultimately succeed, their loyalty will naturally align with us. A thousand years from now, no one will remember what happened today.”
“If Yu Daoist is tired of those pleas for help, simply stop receiving them. You only need to guard the sect’s mountain gate.”
After these brief sentences, no further sounds followed.
And it was these few sentences that confirmed Yu Jinghua’s suspicions.
A storm of emotions surged in his heart, but his face remained calm and respectful as he replied, “This junior understands. Thank you, Elder Ancestor, for your guidance.”
Then he turned and left the place.
Upon returning to the Sect Leader’s grand hall, Yu Jinghua gave orders to stop reporting battlefield news to him and to just compile statistics.
Afterward, he sat cross-legged on his couch, his expression fluctuating as he fell deep into thought.
“It seems I really did guess correctly. Tianjing True Person is deliberately using the Green Lotus Temple to eliminate those cultivation families that have been entrenched in Lingzhou for hundreds of years, all to pave the way for his own direct lineage and vassal families in the future.”
“But Tianjing Sect’s cultivators who are currently of great use are only so many. It’s impossible to send them all out to branch out and establish families.”
“And even if families are established and the spiritual mountains and blessed lands are taken over, we won’t be able to muster the manpower needed to maintain the families for quite some time.”
“Or is it that those spiritual mountains and blessed lands are not actually intended for the Tianjing Sect’s disciples?”
Thinking this, Yu Jinghua’s eyes suddenly widened as if he had thought of something extremely shocking. His eyes bulged, and his mouth gaped open.

“Could it be, could it be that True Person has another force hidden beyond Lingzhou?”
He silently exclaimed in his heart, his complexion also changing drastically.
If that was the case, then his previous speculations would have a proper explanation.
If there were other forces loyal to him hidden elsewhere, then naturally, there would be no need to care about the lives of these fence-sitting families in Lingzhou.
It would be convenient to use the blade of the Green Lotus Temple to harvest them, making it easier for his direct lineage to settle in.
Furthermore, when it comes time to counterattack the Green Lotus Temple, these exterminated families could also serve as a pretext for the campaign, killing several birds with one stone.
“If there really is another force hidden, could there be Golden Core Stage cultivators among them?”
As this thought suddenly emerged in Yu Jinghua’s mind, he became somewhat restless.
Relying on the fact that he was the only Golden Core Stage cultivator in the Tianjing Sect, Yu Jinghua could remain composed even in the presence of Tianjing True Person, not as fearful as ordinary Golden Core cultivators might be before a Nascent Soul Stage True Person, showing only meek compliance.
But if he weren’t the only Golden Core Stage cultivator in the Tianjing Sect, then his past conduct might be deemed discourteous.
Moreover, if Tianjing True Person had other Golden Core Stage cultivators closer to him, then his role as Vice Sect Leader might be just a decoy used to divert attention.
When the time comes and the situation is settled, it’s likely time for him to step down.
“It seems I also need to find another way out for myself!”
A sharp glint flashed in Yu Jinghua’s eyes, unwilling to await that day passively.
…
Tuyun Ridge.
It was now the third morning since Tuyun Ridge was besieged.
After more than two days of assault, the Mountain Protection Array of the Guo Family at Tuyun Ridge was on the verge of collapse, and it was obvious it wouldn’t hold much longer.
After continuously attacking for more than two days, Zhou Chun and the others were also beginning to feel tired.
People are not machines. Even though they could use Rejuvenation Pills to recover Mana and take turns resting to ease their body and mind, the continuous high-intensity attack on the Mountain Protection Array inevitably led to exhaustion.
But all of them were accomplished cultivators, so this level of fatigue was trivial, barely affecting their combat power.
“It has already been two days without any rescue, it seems that Tianjing Sect is determined not to care about the life and death of these vassal families!”
In the sky, Zhou Mingde calmly stated his judgment while continuing to attack the Guo Family’s Mountain Protection Array.
He did not use Divine Sense to transmit his voice but spoke directly.
Thus, the cultivators of the Guo Family on Tuyun Ridge could also hear him.
Upon hearing his words, Guo Tong and a group of Guo Family cultivators showed expressions of anger and despair.
