Chapter 999 Returning in Disappointment
"Well, from what my senior brother said, it seems that this is really possible. But to be honest, I think that guy is pretty good. Not only does he have a heroic appearance, but he is also always kind to others. I have never heard of him using his power to overwhelm others."
"In addition, as far as I know, this person is also very prestigious in his native country. He belongs to a well-known and upright sect. Coupled with his status as an ancestor, it would not be wrong for Junior Sister Chang Xi to become his Taoist companion. A good thing."
"What's more, that person has been alone all this time without a Taoist companion. If Junior Sister Chang Xi can agree, it is obvious that he will become his official palace. In this way, it will also be a great thing for our Qingfeng Sect. With this relationship, Our sect’s status will increase greatly in the future, and it will be easy to expand some territory.”
"It's just a pity that Junior Sister Chang Xi didn't agree to it. Otherwise, this war might have had a different outcome, or even might not have happened at all."
Yun Fuzi shook his head and began to talk boastfully, his eyes full of pity.
"Okay, what's the point of talking about this? Let's not say that Chang Xi didn't know the current predicament at that time. Even if she knew, if she doesn't agree, shouldn't we still force her?"
"To be honest, I don't ask for anything else. The most important thing is that the girl is happy. I will not sacrifice the girl's happiness for my own sake. Even if our Qingfeng Sect encounters a catastrophe, I will not force her to do anything she doesn't want to do. After all, this girl I grew up watching it.”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Daozi's face could not help but darken, he waved his hand, looked at Yun Fuzi and said coldly.
"What the senior brother said is, I just said it casually, how could I think of sacrificing the happiness of the junior sister to strengthen the sect. Not only the senior brother, but also the junior sister I watched grow up. If she can be happy, it is also my wish. Looking forward to it.”
Yun Fuzi was startled. He rarely saw his senior brother angry. He was embarrassed for a moment and hurriedly laughed and said.
"Okay, let's all get busy. Next, you should seize the time to call all the disciples back and take people to carefully check the sect's formation to make sure everything is perfect. I'm going to Lingxiao Temple now. It may be necessary. It will take a few days to come back. During this period, you must guard the sect."
Xuanchengzi waved his hand again, and after finishing speaking, he stood up and walked out.
"Yes, senior brother."
Several other people quickly got up to see them off.
………………………
In the following time, the entire Qingfeng Sect acted resolutely and began to get busy doing their own things.
Some of the disciples who are proficient in the formation method are busy reinforcing the formation, and some strong disciples are sent to patrol closely outside the sect.
Even those disciples who were on missions outside have hurried back, and even the various mines belonging to the sect have been abandoned and no one is stationed anymore.
The occurrence of these incidents made all the disciples in the sect feel nervous and anxious. For a time, the entire sect was filled with an aura of depression. Everyone knew that the war was about to begin.
Some people who had experienced the last war were relatively calm, but those young disciples who had joined within a hundred years were extremely frightened. After all, they had been living in peaceful times for the past hundred years and had never experienced anything like this that could affect the sect. A battle of life and death.
For a time, the business in various major cities was extremely booming, and the prices of various elixirs and magic weapons suddenly skyrocketed, reaching several times the previous level, but even so, the supply was still in short supply.
How could the monk feel sorry for the spirit stone at this time? After all, life is the most important thing.
It was not until the sect ordered that all disciples were not allowed to go out that the looting of supplies came to an end.
…
A few days later, the powerful people from all the forces in the Xia Kingdom gathered in the Lingxiaoguan Hall.
Among them, Yaowang Valley, Weapon Refining Sect, and Qingfeng Sect all went to the Dujindan late-stage monks, and Xuan Daozi was among them.
In addition, some Jindan cultivators from Xia Kingdom also came one after another.
Even the ancestors of those cultivating immortal families came to the scene one after another.
Among them, Ouyang Jing of the Ouyang family, Shangguan Xi of the Shangguan family, and others were all sitting in the Lingxiaoguan hall at this moment.
It was just because Xuanchengzi, the only Yuanying stage monk in Xia Kingdom, wanted to gather the sect to discuss some important matters.
Everyone has been looking forward to this meeting for a long time, and they are all hoping that the incident will turn around. They hope that the Nascent Soul Stage monk can find a solution, or lead everyone to drive away the people from the Earth Demon Sect.
But things didn't go as expected. When Xuan Chengzi appeared, what he said made everyone feel like they were falling into an ice cave. No one expected that this Yuanying stage monk had no solution at all, and he didn't even know how far he came. A Yuan Ying stage monk.
At this moment, everyone's mood couldn't help but become heavy, and everyone sighed.
But Xia Kingdom is everyone's hometown after all. There are too many things here that cannot be abandoned, and no one is willing to flee here before the battle begins.
What's more, even if you want to escape now, you may have no chance.
For the sake of the millennium-old inheritance of the sect and family, everyone had no choice but to choose to stay and garrison, hoping to survive this disaster.
Of course, some people also asked Xuanchengzi if we had any Nascent Soul stage monks coming to help, but the old Taoist just shook his head and sighed, and didn't say much.
But everyone knew that next, Xia Guo could only fight alone. For a while, everyone in the room was no longer in the mood to continue talking.
As for the reason why Xuanchengzi called everyone here, he actually wanted all the forces to move their clans to Lingxiao Temple, so that they could work together to fight against the Earth Demon Sect's army.
And promised that even if he lost, he would sacrifice himself to entangle the other party's high-level cultivators, so that everyone would have the opportunity to lead the disciples to escape from Xia Country.
The old Taoist said it nicely, meaning that he was afraid that the Earth Demon Sect would defeat the forces of all parties one by one. If all the sects were united, they might be able to resist the other party, or even repel the enemy.
But everyone remained silent about this suggestion and did not agree to it.
No one is stupid. Now it is still unknown how many Yuanying-stage cultivators the enemy has come. How can this senior have the confidence to entangle the enemy.
At least everyone stays in their own sect. If they are defeated, there is still hope to lead the disciples to escape.
Everyone knows that the enemy's Yuanying-stage cultivators' primary goal is to attack Lingxiao Temple.
Besides, who would be willing to abandon their sect to garrison in his Lingxiao Temple? After all, their sects have been passed down for thousands of years. Unless there is a desperate situation, no one wants the sect to be destroyed.
The real idea of this old Taoist is probably to abandon other sects and save his Lingxiao Temple.
Seeing that no one stood up to join, how could the old Taoist not know what everyone thought, but he did not force them, but sent everyone away.
After everyone left Lingxiao Temple, they did not stay for anything and rushed back to their own sects. Everyone knew that they could only rely on themselves next.
However, some independent cultivators secretly contacted several major sects and wanted to join them, but no one chose to join Lingxiao Temple.
The meaning was obvious.
