In front of the ancient castle, a tremendous fighting spirit surged. This was the powerful fighting spirit of hundreds of people. Even Yang Qi and Long Yi, two martial arts masters, were frightened when they felt the terrifying fighting spirit.
Perhaps, the overall strength of the Dark Council is not as good as that of the Chinese cultivation world, but their unity is unmatched by the Chinese cultivation world. Perhaps it is precisely because of their persistence in survival that even though they have been suppressed by the Holy See of Light for thousands of years, the Dark Council still sits firmly in the position of the third force in the cultivation world, and even under the suppression of the Holy See of Light, they can pass on.
The reason why they were able to do this was not only because of the strength of the Dark Council itself, but more importantly, because of the indomitable spirit and constant sense of crisis of the Dark Council practitioners. In comparison, the Chinese practice world has always been in the East, and the biggest crisis was the Eastern Expedition of the Saint Emperor of that generation. However, that happened thousands of years ago, which is too far away for today's practitioners.
Therefore, the practitioners in the Chinese cultivation world have no sense of crisis at all, and even fight each other. All this is not seen in the Dark Council. Even though they are not bound by the faith of the Holy See of Light, the Dark Council can still compete with the Holy See of Light.
"Such a strong fighting spirit." Long Yi said in a deep voice. The strong fighting spirit erupted from the Dark Council made him understand that the Dark Council, which had been suppressed by the Holy See of Light for countless years, and even the president of the Dark Council had died in battle in history, and had entered several crises, was not simple!
“If our Chinese cultivation community could be as united as they are, we probably wouldn’t have to join forces with the Dark Council this time.” Yang Qi said calmly.
Hearing this, Xuanjizi and the others nodded thoughtfully, but they all knew that this idea was just a thought. The major holy places would never submit to other forces, not even the Long family.
Therefore, the Chinese cultivation world is destined to be a situation of multiple hegemons. They may be able to unite at critical moments, but when peacetime comes, they will continue to fight. After all, cultivation resources are limited. If they do not fight for them, their holy land will decline!
Yang Qi also understood this, so he was just sighing. The current generation of the Long family was much stronger than other holy places, but so what? The five holy places would never surrender. To make the five holy places surrender, the strength must reach a terrifying level, leaving the five holy places without the slightest resistance. Unfortunately, even the current Saint Emperor couldn't do this. I'm afraid only high-level martial arts masters or even martial arts masters could do this, but in this end of the martial arts era, it was almost impossible to do this.
"President North, shall we fight directly now?" Yang Qi looked at President North not far away and said.
After hearing Yang Qi's words, other Chinese practitioners also looked at President North. Although they and the Dark Council were not subordinate to each other this time, the Dark Council was still the main force in the fight against the Holy See of Light.
"No!" North shook his head slightly and said lightly, "The most important thing for us now is to rest."
"Rest?" After these words were spoken, many people in the Chinese cultivation world were bewildered. If they were to rest at this time, the Holy See of Light would probably come to kill them in less than half a day. You know, practitioners at the martial arts master level can travel very fast!
"Take advantage of your time to prepare for the enemy's attack." Yang Qi and Long Yi looked at each other and said slowly.
Not only Yang Qi and the others, but also Xuanjizi and other leaders thought of this. It was obvious that President North was planning to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out. Although for a martial artist at this level, even if he waited for the enemy to tire himself out, he could not gain much advantage, but he could still gain some advantages. In such a war, even a small advantage could affect the final outcome.
"A hundred miles away is Sunset Canyon, the only way to enter the Dark Castle. We will be waiting for the Holy See of Light there." North said in a deep voice.
It is said that at sunset, one can see the end of the sky and earth in Sunset Canyon. It is six or seven kilometers long, with steep cliffs on both sides, making it an ideal place for a battle.
A distance of a hundred miles is only a few tens of minutes for martial artists. When the Dark Council and hundreds of Chinese practitioners arrived at Sunset Canyon, the sun had just risen and was shining in the Sunset Canyon.
Hundreds of people were resting in the canyon, while Yang Qi and Long Yinos were standing above the canyon.
"The sky is bleeding." North said slowly, looking at the red sky in the distance.
"Yes, today is destined to be an extraordinary day." Yang Qi sighed softly. Perhaps the gods knew about the battle between the Dark Council and the Holy See of Light. The sky in the distance was as red as blood.
"In history, wars of this level between the Dark Council and the Holy See of Light have broken out several times. We have only won one tragic victory, and that was after the Holy See of Light suffered heavy losses in its failed Eastern Expedition," North said.
Throughout history, wars of this magnitude have not occurred often, and almost every time they have ended with the defeat of the Dark Council. Therefore, the Dark Council generally does not easily start a holy war, and will only fight when it is unavoidable.
Hearing what North said, Yang Qi and Long Yi couldn't help but fall silent. The Holy See of Light has almost always occupied the position of the number one force in the cultivation world. That is, after the failure of the Eastern Expedition, the Chinese cultivation world once briefly became the number one force in the cultivation world.
"If I lose this time, I will become a sinner in the history of the Dark Council." North looked at everyone in the canyon and sighed.
"It's the same for us. We have no way to avoid losing this battle." Long Yi said in a deep voice.
“Although the Holy Emperor of Light is strong, if the three of us join forces, even if we are defeated, it will not be easy for him to kill us. We may not lose this battle.” Yang Qi said lightly.
“Yang Qi is right. We cannot and will not lose this battle!” A strong fighting spirit surged in Long Yi’s eyes. The Holy Emperor of Light was once defeated by the Eastern cultivation world led by the ancestor of the Long family. Today, he can also lead the Chinese cultivation world and the Dark Council to defeat the Holy Emperor of Light.
"Mr. Long is right. I was a little hesitant at that time. Now, we, the Dark Council, have no way out." North was shocked when he heard this.
Just now, he saw those resting Dark Council practitioners and thought about how many survivors would be able to survive after this battle, so he had such a feeling. However, after Yang Qi and Long Yi's reminder, he realized that this battle was inevitable. The Dark Council has been able to continue for so many years because they have never been afraid of fighting with the Holy See of Light.
"President North doesn't have to worry too much. The Holy Emperor of Light only knows that you and I are at the Martial Sect level, but he doesn't know that Yang Qi's strength has also reached the Martial Sect level. With Yang Qi as a cavalryman, we can catch them by surprise, and our chances of winning will increase greatly." Long Yi chuckled. (To be continued)
