Hearing Zhao Wuhai's words, Su Han furrowed his brows and asked, "What happened?"
"The Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm has been invaded and is now in a state of war."
"Several envoys I sent for diplomatic relations have all disappeared, their fates unknown."
Zhao Wuhai answered with a serious expression.
.....
"Invasion?"
"Who is the enemy? How dare they even invade the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm?"
Su Han was also quite surprised.
Under his command, he controlled one Upper-Rank Immortal Realm, three Middle-Rank Immortal Realms, and five Lower-Rank Immortal Realms.
Among them, the Cold Heaven Immortal Realm was his most powerful Immortal Realm, the Upper-Rank Immortal Realm.
However, there are differences even among Upper-Rank Immortal Realms.
Although the Cold Heaven Immortal Realm and the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm are both Upper-Rank Immortal Realms, the gap between them is not small, whether in terms of heritage, resources, history, or strength... the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm surpasses heavily in all aspects.
Currently, Su Han was also encountering a bottleneck in his career, making it difficult to expand his territory, so... he thought of a solution.
That is... "Diplomacy."
Engage in diplomacy with other powerful Upper-Rank Immortal Realms, maintain an attitude of peaceful coexistence, absorb their strengths, and continuously learn and grow stronger.
The Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, being relatively close, naturally became the diplomatic target for the Cold Heaven Immortal Realm.
Since thirty thousand years ago, the two Immortal Realms have begun exchanges, maintaining a peaceful and stable situation.
...
"The identity of the other party is still unclear."
"However, one thing is certain, the enemy's strength is formidable and they come with great ferocity."
"In just ten short years, the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm has already lost one percent of its territory."
Zhao Wuhai slowly said.
Upon hearing this, Su Han frowned and sat down, contemplating for a long time: "It seems... the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm is in a precarious situation."
"Venerable Lord, should we reinforce the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm?"
Having said that, Zhao Wuhai cautiously asked.
After all, this matter is of great importance, potentially affecting the entire situation, and he wasn't qualified to make the decision; it had to be made by Su Han, the true decision-maker.
"Let's observe."
After considering it, Su Han replied.
"Venerable Lord, I believe offering help in times of need is better than simply complementing success."
"Now that the war has just begun, our timely reinforcement would certainly greatly close the relationship between our two Immortal Realms."
Zhao Wuhai took a deep breath, expressing his thoughts.
...
"No."
"Your idea is not wrong, indeed."
"However, you underestimate the opponent's strength."
"And you also underestimate the defensive capability of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm."
"Do you not understand what the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm has relied on to stand strong for so many years? Its long history?"
"It relies on its impenetrable defense."
Su Han said deliberately.
"And now, the opponent has defeated the Immortal Domain Defense Array of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm in just ten years, and captured as much as one percent of its territory."
"Do you know... what this means?"
After hearing Su Han's analysis, Zhao Wuhai took a deep breath, shocked: "Could it be... the opponent's strength is strong enough to crush the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm?!"
...
"Not to the extent of crushing."
"But at the very least, the comprehensive strength of the two is not on the same level."
"Moreover, since they dare to attack the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, they must have made all necessary preparations."
"You just mentioned... all the envoys you sent for diplomacy were killed?"
Su Han stared at Zhao Wuhai and asked.
"Yes... there are no signs of life sensed anymore, they should have been killed." Zhao Wuhai replied.
....
"Their daring to kill our Cold Heaven Immortal Realm's envoys signifies that... they do not fear us."
"In other words, they have prepared to simultaneously face our Cold Heaven Immortal Realm, it's part of their plan."
"This is also a warning to us; if we dare to reinforce the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, they will strike at us too."
After listening to Su Han's analysis.
Zhao Wuhai suddenly understood: "No wonder the Luoyang Immortal Realm, the Cyan Entropy Immortal Realm, and other Immortal Realms closely associated with the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm are all inactive, they're all silent; they dare not reinforce it."
.....
After hearing Su Han's words, Zhao Wuhai was thoroughly convinced, the Venerable Lord saw things more clearly than he did.
"So, you see, there are still many things for you to learn."
"The Venerable Lord's teachings are right, I still have to learn well from the Venerable Lord."
.....
"Venerable Lord, are we just going to stand by and not get involved?"
Zhao Wuhai asked.
Everyone understands the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will feel the cold; if the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm is conquered, what if the opponent's next target is us?
"That's why I said, let's observe first."
"Let's see the situation first, in case the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm manages to endure and the enemy's strength isn't as strong as we imagined, we'll join forces with the Luoyang Immortal Realm and the Cyan Entropy Immortal Realm to reinforce the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm."
"If... the opponent keeps the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm on the defensive, without even allowing them a chance to retaliate...."
"Then, when the opponent conquers the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, we can..."
At this point.
Zhao Wuhai had learned to interject: "We can counterattack while the opponent is still stretched thin from just conquering the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm?!"
Hearing this, Su Han was momentarily stunned before he finally praised Zhao Wuhai: "Not bad, it seems there's progress after all."
....
"The Venerable Lord teaches well." Zhao Wuhai grinned.
"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now, observe and avoid rash actions, is there anything else to report?" Su Han inquired.
....
"Venerable Lord, subordinate dares to ask, who exactly is that elder who fished me into the River of Time?"
Recalling the terrifying experience a few days ago, Zhao Wuhai shuddered.
"What you shouldn't ask, just don't ask."
"What's the point in knowing so much?"
"You, just focus on cultivation and strive to enhance your strength, that's the right path."
"Certain things you know will only harm you."
Su Han glared at him, instructing.
...
Meanwhile, on the border battlefield of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm.
The current Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm is preparing for war throughout its entire domain, in a turbulent and fiery period of war.
At this moment, on a barren mountain at the border.
A majestic man in a black robe stood silently, overlooking the battlefield littered with corpses, his eyes flickering with extinguished dark light.
Soon, the space beside him began to twist as a tall, thin man in a gray robe slowly stepped forward.
"Big brother, you called for me?"
After these words.
The majestic man nodded, then took out a brocade bag from his sleeve: "Judging by the time, it's about ready to open this brocade bag."
