The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1926: Chapters 1872–1873: Heavy Losses, How to Counterattack

In the Divine Land World, news about the rapid seizure by the Jade Emperor and the Buddhism School of the two worlds of the Heterodox Alliance spread far and wide. Various experts were surprised and began to discuss the matter, each expressing their own opinions.

“With such a blow, do you think the Heterodox Alliance will retaliate?” an expert murmured to himself, curious in his heart.

Now that the Jade Emperor and the Buddhism School have taken action, they have struck with deadly moves, causing significant losses to the Heterodox Alliance in a short time.

Judging by their actions, these people likely have more lethal moves in store, perhaps waiting to see the Heterodox Alliance’s next move.

Even if the opponents have no other tricks up their sleeves, the current situation already gives them a considerable advantage. If they strike hard now, it may not necessarily be to their benefit.

“Zhao Baiyang has not yet come out of seclusion. Even if the remaining members of the Heterodox Alliance take action, it would only lead to mutual destruction!”

“Mutual destruction? What qualifications does the Heterodox Alliance have to share such a fate with others? Whether it’s the Jade Emperor’s side or the Buddhism side, their foundations are far stronger than the Heterodox Alliance’s.”

“In my opinion, the Jade Emperor’s side hasn’t continued their assault not because they lack the power, but because they are deliberately waiting for the Heterodox Alliance’s reaction, aiming to keep bleeding the alliance through this wound.”

“Indeed, from the current situation, any sub-branch of the Heterodox Alliance can’t move on its own. Once they deploy forces, their interior is exposed. Who knows if the Jade Emperor’s side will strike again? After all, they’ve already used the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain and besieging reinforcements. To suffer another loss would be disgraceful.”

“Now they are in a dilemma. The Heterodox Alliance is already at a disadvantage. To turn the tide, they must muster greater strength. However, should they do so, will it lead to internal vulnerability, providing an opportunity for their opponents? Nobody knows.”

“I must say, the timing this time was grasped perfectly. Now, let’s see how the Heterodox Alliance will counterattack.”

“Is it possible the Heterodox Alliance won’t retaliate, choosing instead to huddle up?”

“Hide? How could that be! To suffer such a huge loss and not react, continuing to hide would truly ruin their reputation.”

“In the past, when targeted by two top immortal sects, retreating would simply be due to inferior strength, and no one could blame them.”

“But now that Zhao Baiyang has just been ordained a Taoist Monarch, if the Heterodox Alliance retreats, how would others view them?”

“Moreover, they don’t hold the initiative. They wish to retreat, but what if their opponents consolidate their gains and strike again? Would they keep giving up?”

“The Heterodox Alliance is essentially a coalition of several forces, with several vice alliance hierarchs. Previously, with Zhao Baiyang overseeing things, no trouble arose. Now, with Zhao Baiyang in seclusion, if the vice alliance hierarchs start fighting internally, it would truly be laughable,” remarked an expert maliciously, expressing skepticism about the Heterodox Alliance’s internal condition.

Various experts discussed wildly, each expressing their views on the current situation and speculating about the Heterodox Alliance’s subsequent response.

These people’s stances varied, with some analyzing the current situation from a neutral perspective, considering how they would handle such a predicament if faced with it themselves.

Others maliciously sowed discord, fearing the Heterodox Alliance would simply endure the situation without further action.

Fear of a brother being poor is one thing, fearing a brother becoming rich is another.

Especially some large immortal sects, who believed that originally everyone was on the same level, none too much higher than the others.

But now that Zhao Baiyang is ordained a Taoist Monarch, it means the Heterodox Alliance has paved the way to becoming a top immortal sect.

This top immortal sect status goes beyond just a reputation; it concerns actual status and interest. Even if the Heterodox Alliance currently takes no action, once they start expanding, some large immortal sects will inevitably suffer losses.

If this situation hadn’t arisen, it might have been acceptable. After all, the prestige of a Taoist Monarch is formidable for any large immortal sect to confront, and as long as they aren’t truly driven to despair, they wouldn’t want to clash openly with a Taoist Monarch.

However, now that the Jade Emperor and the Buddhism School have initiated a campaign against the Heterodox Alliance, it sparks ideas of kicking someone while they’re down among some factions.

They wish to incite these two sides to continue an unending conflict, preferably leaving the Heterodox Alliance severely weakened and unable to expand in the short term. This way, even with Zhao Baiyang’s presence, while the Heterodox Alliance persists, it would grant them ample time for development.

Thus, the well-meaning may not truly have the Heterodox Alliance’s best interests at heart, nor are those pouring cold water necessarily causing harm.

It’s not just outsiders with various thoughts; even within the Heterodox Alliance, some are growing uneasy.

After all, the situation has changed too quickly, and in merely a short time, what seemed to be a thriving Heterodox Alliance, due to Zhao Baiyang’s successful ordination as a Taoist Monarch, now appears precarious.

In a short time, they lost two sub-branches and many strong members, which is a significant blow to the Heterodox Alliance, far greater than outsiders have speculated.
