210 The So-called Great Fortune

However, if they attacked, they might face the risk of their orthodoxy being destroyed. Almost all the immortal holy lands were hiding and not coming out. Whoever stood out at this time was courting death.

Some time ago, news came that the Supreme Hall had already closed their doors and announced to the public that the disciple recruitment ceremony had been canceled. Perhaps it was related to the Dao Discussion. Their Supreme Hall had lost all their reputation. They knew in their hearts that probably not many people would attend the disciple recruitment ceremony. So they might as well close the sect and hide from the world, preparing to avoid this calamity.

Although their actions were very heartless, they were also very smart. They closed it without any hesitation. It directly cut off all karmic connections with the outside world and sealed the sect. As long as there were no internal problems, they still had a high chance of guarding this lineage.

After the Supreme Hall announced that they would close the sect, the other small holy lands that followed them also began to close the sect.

There were only a few Holy Lands left that had not made any movement yet, among which were the Heaven Mending Sect, the Heavenly Lake, the Jade-Lake, and so on.

Hearing Meng Tianzheng's words, everyone fell silent. Lin Qingzhu, who was silently sitting in the corner, couldn't help but clench her fists. Her eyes flashed with pity. She wanted to say something, but she restrained herself. She knew better than anyone how it felt to be abandoned. That riot had destroyed her home.

Now that such a situation had come again, if the Heaven Mending Sect sat back and did not do anything, the commoners at the foot of the mountain would definitely become the vengeful spirits of this calamity.

She wanted to speak, but when she thought about her situation, she endured it. She could choose to attack for the sake of righteousness. However, once she made this decision, it also meant that she would drag everyone from Violet Cloud Peak into this mess.

After struggling for a long time, Lin Qingzhu finally fell silent. At this moment, a voice that surprised her sounded.

Qi Wuhui slowly stood up and said with an incomparably firm gaze, "Senior Brother, my Heaven Mending Sect established the concept of teaching all living beings and benefiting the world. Ever since we established the sect, we have been widely supported by the people, loved and enjoyed the providence of the world.

"If we choose to retreat and avoid now, that will be betrayal and abandonment. It will go against the path we cultivate. Didn't you always say that as a cultivator, I should bless the world and bring good fortune to all living beings? At this time, my Heaven Mending Sect should stand up…"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. No one expected Qi Wuhui to say this. In everyone's hearts, Qi Wuhui had always been a sarcastic and eccentric person. However, they had forgotten that when he was young, this peak master of the Hidden Sword Peak was also a high-spirited young man who wanted to kill a dragon. It was unknown if it was because of the effect of rejuvenation or if his heart was originally so firm.

As soon as Qi Wuhui said this, everyone instantly looked at him in a different light and he won everyone's respect.

"Haha… well said!" Yang Wudi slapped his thigh and stood up. He said to Qi Wuhui with admiration, "Senior Brother Qi, I'm really impressed today. "You're right. Although my Heaven Mending Sect isn't strong, we still have the ability to protect this hundred miles of Qin Chuan. Isn't it just a disaster? Let's deal with him…"

Yang Wudi's classic quote appeared again. Everyone's blood immediately boiled as they heard his words.

"Haha…"

They heard a clear laugh and saw Ming Yue stand up. She pursed his lips and thought for a moment. "Senior Brother, this might be an opportunity for us…"

"Hmm? What do you mean…"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Meng Tianzheng smiled and finally got to the point. He had not spoken because he wanted to hear everyone's opinion and see if anyone thought the same as him. He had been thinking about this for the past few days and could not sleep at night.

As the Sect Master of the Heaven Mending Sect, any decision he made would affect the life and death of the entire sect. Therefore, he had to think of every detail and not make any mistakes.

Ming Yue slowly explained, "Senior Brothers, do you remember an old saying?"

"What old saying?"

Everyone was stunned and fell into deep thought. Qi Wuhui impatiently asked, "Junior Sister, don't keep us in suspense. Hurry up and say it."

Ming Yue smiled at his urging. "There's a saying in the ancient legends. Every time there's a calamity, the providence of the world will be born. It's a good fortune prepared for those with great merit. This great calamity is coming aggressively. It's not inferior to a great cleansing. The scale is unimaginable.

"If we can protect the lands, we will be worthy of being people with great merit. We will receive the blessings of the heavens and enjoy the providence of the righteous path. Once this is done, my Heaven Mending Sect will soar into the sky."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instantly sucked in a breath of cold air.

"That's right. Why didn't we think of this?" Qi Wuhui slapped his thigh and came to a realization. He now understood why the Heavenly Lake and the Jade-Lake were still watching.

It turned out that they had been waiting for this opportunity all along and did not choose to close the sect. Instead, were they prepared to fish for benefits in this critical moment? This was a huge gamble. If they won, the entire Holy Land would be able to obtain great fortune. If they lost, it might also mean the destruction of the orthodoxy.

They were thinking, deliberating. Should they bet? How? The current wait was just them preparing themselves to face this calamity.

"Why don't we bet on fate?"

The other masters also looked at each other. As the master of a peak, they had sat in this position for so many years. How could they not understand this question? They immediately understood what Ming Yue meant.

"If there's really great fortune, my Heaven Mending Sect might really be able to rise…" Yang Wudi also said, suddenly excited.

If they could really withstand this calamity, once that great fortune was added to their bodies, perhaps all of them could break through to the supreme Paragon or even the King-Ranked realm. Who could resist this temptation?

Moreover, in the current situation, the mortal world had already become abandoned and the commoners were displaced. If the Heaven Mending Sect took action at this time and accepted these commoners, they would directly obtain a good reputation and become a savior.

Meng Tianzheng smiled in relief when he heard Ming Yue point it out. That's right, he had been thinking about this problem for the past few days. He also believed that his old friends from the Heavenly Lake Holy Land and Jade-Lake Holy Land were also thinking about this problem.

He was a little uncertain about such a big matter. Yesterday, he specially went to the back mountain to ask Perfected Xuanyi.

Perfected Xuanyi only told him that no matter what he wanted to do, everyone would support him.

After obtaining this answer, Meng Tianzheng already knew what to do. Therefore, he took advantage of the disciple recruitment ceremony to ask the other masters to come and hold such a meeting.

Looking around, Meng Tianzheng slowly said, "What do you guys think?"

"Senior Brother, I think we can try…" Qi Wuhui immediately said, and the others followed suit.

"Senior Brother, let's do it. I think it's worth it. This matter is originally the same as our Heaven Mending Sect's founding philosophy. How can we ignore it…"

"That's right. Even without this great fortune, we still have to do it just based on Senior Brother Qi's words just now." Lu Feng said firmly.

Hearing this, Meng Tianzheng squeezed out a smile, feeling very satisfied.

These junior brothers and sisters did not disappoint him. Although they usually looked down on each other, once they encountered trouble, they would reach a consensus. This might be related to the founding philosophy and the Dao techniques they cultivated.

After all, they came from the same source. It was normal for them to reach an agreement after being nurtured by the Dao.

Meng Tianzheng looked at them and then at Lin Qingzhu in the corner. He knew better than anyone else.

The Heaven Mending Sect's greatest reputation was the silent little girl sitting in the corner. It was not that she was very strong, but because of the person standing behind her. She represented Violet Cloud Peak and Ye Qiu. Her decision also represented Ye Qiu's decision. They only had a chance if Ye Qiu took action. Otherwise, everything he said would be nonsense.

Therefore, Meng Tianzheng had been waiting for Lin Qingzhu to express her thoughts. However, she did not say anything, making Meng Tianzheng worried. The atmosphere has already reached this point, so how can you still sit still? Shouldn't you be more passionate at your age? We old men are all so passionate, but how could you not have any reaction? Are you still a youth? Is this the hot-bloodedness of an old man?

"Martial Niece Lin, what do you think?" After looking at her for a long time, she still did not speak. Meng Tianzheng could not hold it in anymore and took the initiative to ask.

"Huh?"

This sudden question stunned Lin Qingzhu. She had taken over Violet Cloud Peak and held a few Seven Peaks Meetings, but she had always been an audience member and had never spoken.

The sun had risen from the west today. Why was he asking for my opinion? Sect Master, are you crazy? Lin Qingzhu looked at Meng Tianzheng in a daze, then looked at the surrounding martial uncles. They were all staring at her. For a moment, she was a little embarrassed. She hurriedly stood up and said, "Sect Master, you can decide. Violet Cloud Peak… has no objections."

Hearing this, everyone immediately smiled and was finally relieved.

"Phew…" Everyone heaved a long sigh of relief.

They had spoken with their blood boiling just now. In reality, they were not confident if they really fought. Therefore, at this time, they still needed a backbone to stabilize the morale of the army, and this backbone might still be on Meng Tianzheng in the past.

But unknowingly, it had already reached Ye Qiu. Only with his King-Ranked strength behind him could they feel at ease and boldly do it.
