The Relics of Threelives

Subhuti looked at Ji Ning. He was silent for a few moments, then said slowly, "You are taking a tremendous risk. You are trying to force the Seamless Gate's hand…but to force them to make peace with you…to make the proud, exalted Seamless Gate sue for peace…that is going to be incredibly hard. You should understand what sort of a path you have decided on."

"Your disciple understands." Ning didn't hesitate at all.

This was a path filled with danger and death!

Even though Daofathers wouldn't personally intervene, the Seamless Gate still had other methods at their disposal for dealing with Ning. For example, using human wave tactics! They could hide a Realmwar's worth of Immortals and Fiendgods into an estate-type magic treasure an attack Ning, or produce multiple Empyrean Gods and True Immortals on Lu Dongbin's level and have them surround Ning! Sufficiently high numbers of Immortals and Fiendgods could threaten even Daofathers, to say nothing of Ning.
