Chapter 2099: Another Dangerous Gamble

Everyone faced a choice.

It was not an easy one. Should they proactively attack the Nirvana Sacred Land, or should they rendezvous with the main force of the Ten Great Sacred Lands?

"Chen Shao, you decide!" Zi Che Min's stance was clear.

The entire Yan family nodded in support as well. "Right, you make the call."

Jiang Chen turned his gaze toward the Kasyapa Divine Lord.

The Kasyapa Divine Lord chuckled. "Don't look at me — I'm fine with whatever. Even if you decide to go head-on against that old man Guangdu, I won't back down."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Good. Then we'll take one more risk."

"Activate the thought-transmission formation and contact the main force of the Ten Great Sacred Lands! Tell them to assemble at the Nirvana Sacred Land!" Jiang Chen made his decision.

The Rising Sun Sacred Land also possessed a thought-transmission formation. And just as he had guessed, the main force of the Ten Great Sacred Lands was indeed split between the Nine Abyss Sacred Land and the Nirvana Sacred Land.

The invaders in both locations had already been dealt with. The main force was now preparing to march toward the Radiance Sacred Land.

When they received Jiang Chen's transmission, reactions among the main force were mixed.

Those who rejoiced — like the Radiance Sacred Land and the Rising Sun Sacred Land — had Jiang Chen to thank for eliminating their enemies and keeping their people safe.

Those who grieved — the True Martial Sacred Land, the Hundred Sacred Land, the Duowen Sacred Land, and the Immortal Sacred Land — had already been subjugated by Guangdu. Things must have been dire for them by now.

Still, with the bigger picture at stake, no one could really complain.

After all, those Sacred Lands were all too far from Pingsha Island. Even if they wanted to help, their reach was far too short.

In the end, they agreed to assemble with Jiang Chen at the Nirvana Sacred Land, pick up the group from the Radiance Sacred Land that was heading to join the main force, and then consolidate into a single army for a decisive battle against Guangdu's faction.

Once the plan was set, Jiang Chen ordered the remaining people from the Rising Sun Sacred Land to follow them to the Nirvana Sacred Land. He activated the Starbound Vessel and sped toward the Nirvana Sacred Land at full velocity.

At this point, Jiang Chen knew that time was extremely precious. It was a race against Guangdu and his forces. If they went to the Radiance Sacred Land first and then the Rising Sun Sacred Land, Jiang Chen would have a chance to reach the Nirvana Sacred Land before them and reclaim it.

In truth, the Nirvana Sacred Land and the Eternal Sacred Land had never been on particularly good terms — one might even call the relationship frosty. Both the Nirvana Sacred Land and the Duowen Sacred Land had previously backed the Hundred Sacred Land.

But under the current circumstances, those old sectarian grudges no longer mattered.

What mattered most was that the Nirvana Sacred Land was now the only one of the Ten Great Sacred Lands still left to contest.

The Starbound Vessel raced through the night at maximum speed, and by the following afternoon, they finally arrived within the borders of the Nirvana Sacred Land.

The method would be the same old one — Jiang Chen planned to repeat his earlier stratagem. Use disguises to lure out the Divine Path cultivators garrisoned inside, then swarm them. It was a tactic that had proven foolproof time and time again.
