Chapter 939 A difficult choice

What happened next was completely out of the control of Xiuming and others.

A large number of Shaoyang sect disciples fled. In less than half a month, more than two-thirds of the low-level disciples fighting on the front line fled, and more than a quarter of the disciples stationed in the sect fled;

The remaining disciples who did not flee were mostly disciples or relatives of Jindan Zhenren, or powerful Zifu foundation-building managers, etc.

It can be said that the remaining Shaoyang sect is now all backbones.

On this day, Lieyang Zhenren sat in the head of the sect with a sullen face, reading the battle reports submitted by the disciples and the jade slips reported by the disciples in the sect.

Before he finished reading, he clenched his fist, and the jade slip in his hand instantly disappeared. He said angrily:

"In just half a month, the total number of people who were turned against the battlefield and escaped has reached three-quarters!

Even most of the Purple Mansion cultivators have fled, not to mention the foundation-building disciples!

What, monkeys scatter when the tree falls?!!"

Zhenren Lieyang was furious.

In the hall, several Jindan Zhenren looked gloomy.

Even Xiuming frowned.

Although he didn't like Zhenren Lieyang and others, the fact that a large number of disciples in the sect fled was tantamount to a disaster for Shaoyang Sect.

As a Jindan Zhenren of Shaoyang Sect, he didn't want to see this scene.

"I wonder what's going on at the front line?"

Xu Ming asked in silence.

Zhenren Lieyang's face darkened again, and then he said that he would recall the disciples fighting on the front line and replace them with the disciples stationed in the sect to deal with those family forces.

But Xiuming did not completely agree with this. He thought for a moment and said:

"The current situation is really unfavorable for our Shaoyang Sect.

Under this situation, we can neither recall the disciples who are fighting outside nor continue to send out the disciples in the sect. As for those disciples who escaped, we can't do anything to them for the time being.

But the external threat must be quelled..."

"How could I not know what you said?

But if we don't recall these disciples, what if they continue to escape?

If we don't send a new team to suppress those rebellious forces, what can we do?

Do we want us to let them fight all the way to the gate of Shaoyang Sect, while we hide in the gate and stay closed, watching them divide Hengzhou and encroach on our Shaoyang Sect's industry!"

Before Xiuming finished speaking, True Man Lieyang interrupted him.

Xiu Ming frowned even more,

"Defending the mountain gate is one solution, but there are other ways to go.

My suggestion is that if you can't rely on your own strength to annihilate these forces, you might as well ask for help from outside."

The other Jindan elders in the hall pondered at the same time when they heard this, and some of them brightened up.

Master Lieyang raised his eyebrows and was about to refuse.

However, thinking of the current situation of Shaoyang Sect, he had to swallow his anger and asked:

"Should we ask for help from Haoran Sect and other forces, or ask for help from Gu Family?"

Xiu Ming thought for a while and said the pros and cons:

"There are pros and cons to asking for help from Yuanying forces and Huashen forces.

You can think about it. If we ask for help from Gu Family, if we are willing to show our allegiance, Gu Family will naturally not charge many spiritual objects and will help our Shaoyang Sect to deal with these rebellious families. In addition, no forces will attack our Shaoyang Sect in the future. It can also stabilize people's hearts and prevent the phenomenon of disciples fleeing from the sect;

But correspondingly, in the future, Shaoyang Sect will be a subordinate of Gu Family, and power will be transferred out. Especially in recent years, the connection between Gu Family and its affiliated forces has become closer, which is quite similar to the intention of Nanhai and Zhongzhou;

If we ask for help from Yuanying forces such as Haoran Sect, our Shaoyang Sect will have to pay a lot of spiritual objects , and before that, Chunyang took away a treasure house of spiritual objects when he defected. Now there are not many spiritual objects left in the sect. If we pay a lot of precious spiritual objects, then our future life will be difficult;

But fortunately, there are still many existences like the Demon Fire Giant, and we still have the sect protection formation, which cannot be broken by non-Nascent Soul cultivators. As long as there is no situation like this where several Jindan forces attack together, our Shaoyang Sect is not afraid;

However, although these Nascent Soul forces in Donghuang are powerful, our Donghuang has never had strong control over the subordinate forces. In the future, if other forces attack our Shaoyang Sect, these Nascent Soul forces may not be restrained too much;

But the good thing is that Shaoyang Sect is still Shaoyang Sect. As long as some of us can advance to Nascent Soul quickly, we can restore our status in Hengzhou and even conquer the Wandie Sea. "

Xiu Ming said the pros and cons of the two choices in a very organized manner.

The cultivators present listened attentively, but they could not make a decision for a moment. Both paths were indeed feasible, but the pros and cons were also obvious. Involving the future of the entire Shaoyang Sect, these Jindan Zhenren could not help but hesitate.

Not to mention them, even Xiuming, who proposed this suggestion, did not know how to choose.

Even if it was just based on Xiuming's selfishness, he did not know which option was better.

He joined the Shaoyang Sect at the age of nine and has lived here for hundreds of years. He has worked hard for the Shaoyang Sect. He is also a disciple of the former leader Ruyang Zhenren. His deep feelings for the Shaoyang Sect are unmatched by ordinary monks. Naturally, we hope that the Shaoyang Sect can maintain its status and power, but it is a pity that current events are always unsatisfactory, and looking to the future, the future of the Shaoyang Sect is also bleak to the naked eye;

On the other hand, as a young monk at the Golden Core Stage, he can naturally hope to make further progress in the future. However, judging from the current situation of the Shaoyang Sect, there is little hope of reaching the Nascent Soul Stage with the help of the sect. , if you can defect to the Gu family, your hope may be greater, and if you join the Gu family, you will encounter less troubles, instead of being unable to sleep at night like now, for fear that when you open your eyes tomorrow, the rebel forces will come. The Shaoyang sect is outside the mountain gate.

Xiu Ming was conflicted in his heart, and the monks present, including Master Lieyang at the head, were also silent.

At the same time, the other three Nascent Soul forces in Donghuang were also watching the fun. Some people even wanted to take a sneak peek and get a share of the action.

As for such a big thing happening between the Gu family's Shaoyang sect and Hengzhou, it can't be hidden from the Gu family's eyes, but unlike the three families' watchfulness and careful thinking, the Gu family is already preparing to take advantage of it.

On this side, Gu Changming ignited the communication talisman he had just received. After smiling slightly, he took out a new communication talisman and sent a message to Gu Changqing, asking him and the Zhanfeng disciples to be prepared. There may be some arrangements in the near future.
