The members of the Earth God Sect who had joined the special task force were extremely busy. There were twelve groups in total, eleven of which were led by a Chief Elder. One of them was led by Ming Tu, a Supreme Elder who had already broken through to the middle-stage Nascent Soul Realm.They were responsible for the Eastern, Western, and Northern Regions. To maintain consistency and order, Tian Zhu divided the twelve groups into three sections, with four groups assigned to each region.Tian Zhu's group, Elder Zhi's group, Elder Xun's group, and Elder Yuan's group were in charge of the Northern Region. Tian Zhu had already prepared numerous plans for each group, along with various backup plans and emergency contingencies.Tian Zhu personally focused on the White Tiger Sect and the Northern Sword Sect, attempting to reduce their forces as much as possible without allowing the enemy to discover their presence amid the war.For an entire week, Tian Zhu continuously carried out operation

Tian Zhu had already eliminated a considerable number of White Tiger Sect and Northern Sword Sect forces without being detected. Every move he made was meticulous and perfectly organized.Each of those two sects had already lost two Chief Elders at Tian Zhu's hands."Sect Master!"Someone called out to Tian Zhu.He turned around and saw Ming Bai walking toward him. Ming Bai was one of the individuals assigned to gather intelligence."You returned earlier than expected. Did you obtain any important information, King Bai?" Tian Zhu always ordered his intelligence gatherers to return after sunset unless they discovered something truly important that required immediate reporting."That's correct, Sect Master. I thought this information was important, so I returned as soon as I obtained it." Ming Bai cupped his fists. "I heard that someone from the Main Sect has arrived at the Northern Sword Sect. I don't know exactly who he is, but he seems to be someone with considerable influence. Based

"Sect Master, how were you able to speak so calmly under that man's aura pressure and domination?" Elder Yuan asked.Although the Elders had appeared relaxed from the beginning, they were actually quite tense. The formation Tian Zhu had created did block Ying Hai's aura, but not completely. They could still feel it, though the formation greatly reduced the pressure they experienced."Because everything happened exactly as I expected."Tian Zhu's answer caused the Elders to exchange glances. They all shared the same thought at that moment. Just how far could Tian Zhu accurately predict events? In fact, they had begun to wonder whether Tian Zhu was some kind of fortune teller, or perhaps someone capable of seeing the future.If there ever came a day when Tian Zhu's predictions failed, they would probably find it difficult to believe."Alright, now that he's gone, it's time for us to continue with our respective tasks."Tian Zhu intended to proceed with his plan of Fishing in Troubled Wa

“Damn it! How could Elder Lao be killed as well?! We already made preparations to ensure that no more Elders would die, yet four Elders have already fallen. I'm certain that the Northern Sword Sect will launch a major offensive soon since we've lost nearly half of our Core Elders.” Bai Xu was furious as more and more of his sect's Core Elders had perished on the battlefield. “Calm down, Sect Master. No matter what happens, we must keep a clear mind in every situation. Do not let anger control you. It will only lead to poor decisions if our thoughts become clouded.” Elder Bai Ren tried to calm Bai Xu. “Elder Bai Ren is right, Sect Master. I am also furious because my brother was killed, but you are our leader. You must remain calm so that you can make wiser decisions.” The other Elders agreed with Elder Bai Ren's words. At this moment, the White Tiger Sect was holding a meeting among its high-ranking members. In a time of war like this, meetings were held almost every week. They ha

“Elder Bai Ren! What is the meaning of this?! You... have you betrayed us?!” Elder Chu's eyes widened so much that they looked as though they might pop out at any moment.Of all the terrible possibilities he had considered, not once had Elder Bai Ren's betrayal crossed his mind.Throughout the years, Elder Bai Ren had been known as the most loyal Elder in the sect. He had never disobeyed an order and had always carried out every mission, no matter how dangerous it was.“Do you really need to ask, Elder Chu? Shouldn't it already be obvious to you? I have indeed been a traitor for quite some time now.” Elder Bai Ren flicked his sword, shaking all the blood from its blade.“Why... Elder Bai Ren! Tell me, why did you betray us?!” Elder Chu roared in anger.“I don't know why or how, but... well, I can't really explain it.” Elder Bai Ren had not even intended to kill Elder Shi earlier, yet his body had moved on its own, and he had not felt that anything was wrong with it.“YOU DAMN TRAITOR!
