Chapter 1409: Cannon Fodder to the Fore (1/2)

A Chen snickered as he watched Pillfire’s perfor its tune very quickly

Before now, there’d been a focus on an honorable and respectable attitude When profit was in sight however, it instantly reverted back to its old ways, dispensing with all pretense The essence of its conduct was self-gain through any means necessary

There was no reason for the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Ninesuns Sky Sect to oppose this motion They watched Pillfire’s performance with smiles on their faces, their tacit support evident

The first rank sects had brought their own tea any one member would be a tremendous blow There was also no reason for thee sects always preferred others sacrificing the on the sects’ behalf There was plenty of cannon fodder to go around here, no?

How could those second-rate factions want a cut of the prize without paying soe?

The pressure on the inferior factionsthemselves on what course of action to take They knew that if they didn’t take stock of the situation, they would be pushed out for sure The secret realm and its treasure would be barred to them forever

“Everyone, it’s not the tireatest fairness in the world of martial dao is survival of the fittest The heavenly dao is just You’re provided according to what your strength deserves We either send out a few scouts right now, or we’re thrown out from the secret realm What do we do?”

“What the hell can we do? At the end of the day, they’re stronger than us If we expend enough men to sort out the way ahead, we’ll still be called upon if there are future problems ahead We’ll probably all be dead before we see any treasure!”

“That’s right We were the ones here first Why do we have to go to our deaths?”

“Shut up!” One of the second rank sect’s giants criticized angrily “There’s no point wasting words here If you have the balls for it, why not seek justice for everyone by arguing with the Upper Eight factions?”

Please Argue with the Upper Eight factions? That wasn’t any less suicidal than si ahead Pillfire quite obviously had the initiative

The Ninesuns Sky Sect and the Heavenly Dragon Sect didn't seem to want to offer opposition at this juncture That ic was as simple as that; survival of the fittest was a universal law

The second rank sects i duty onto even weaker factions

Aside fro factions, there were second, third, even fourth rank sects as well The Purple Sood exa factions exploded with fury when the second rank sects expressed their intent

They were unquestionably fearful of the Upper Eight’s largest factions, yes But since when could second rank sects throw their weight around, huh? What right did they have to attehtly weaker factions?

There weren’t many second rank sects present Third and fourth rank sects coht Regions to give orders as the leaders of the huht to send us to our deaths?”

“That’s right! We o in at all then How come second rank sects are allowed to lord it over us too?”

“Exactly Our chances of getting anything are very low Why should we be cannon fodder for theht it out You think all of us added together can’t beat a few second rank sects?”

“Yeah, let’s get ‘es When the weaker factions found out that the second rank sects were planning to force thee

No one could do anything about hoerful the Upper Eight factions were These second rank sects were all fro to the Upper Eight Regions Why were they expecting any special treatment?

“We can draw lots, but the second rank sects shouldn’t have any special treatht! The second rank sects don’t lead the Upper Eight Regions They don’t qualify for preferential treatment!”

Only twenty percent of those assehty were from lower factions Third rank sects like the Purple Smoke Sect, for example These factions weren’t to be underestieto just eat the loss

Jiang Chen watched iin to spiral out of control No hly doubtful that they’d end up picking hiardless

A valid concern for others wasn’t necessarily the case for hi, but it was also flawed Did the flaw exist originally, though? Or had it appeared with the passage of ti at all, he couldn't exactly volunteer hier would only attract unwanted attention
