Chapter 917: The Choice of the Yufeng Sect
After the Cultivator Conference ended, the official newspaper of the Great Xia Dynasty immediately released the news of the invasion of foreign enemies. In just a few days, all the worlds under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty knew that a powerful saint would soon invade the Chaos Star Sea.
After the release of this news, it did cause anxiety among the people of the Great Xia Dynasty, especially since the newspaper also said that the Emperor of Heaven only had the strength of the Guixu Realm and could not compete with the powerful saints at all.
For a time, people were panicked, and some forces began to plan their retreat.
Tianchen World.
Yufeng Sect.
In the Sect Master's Hall, several elders were discussing, and people's expressions seemed very excited, as if they had encountered some happy event.
At this time, Sect Master Xu Nianshuo, who was sitting in the hall, said: "What do you think about this matter?"
After the voice fell, Xu Nianshuo glanced at everyone.
What they were discussing at this time was naturally referring to the betrayal of the Great Xia Dynasty.
After hearing that a Saint Realm expert was about to invade the Chaos Star Sea, Xu Nianshuo immediately thought of betraying the Great Xia Dynasty and joining the Saint.
However, even though Xu Nianshuo was the leader of the Yufeng Sect and could directly decide all matters of the Yufeng Sect, he did not directly say to join the Saint. The main reason was that the Great Xia Dynasty had too much influence on the cultivators in the Chaos Star Sea.
Even in the Yufeng Sect, many people were influenced by the Great Xia Dynasty. If he directly told these elders that he wanted to betray the Great Xia Dynasty, some of these elders might immediately tell the Great Xia court that the Yufeng Sect was going to betray the Great Xia Dynasty.
Even if he wanted to betray the Great Xia Dynasty, Xu Nianshuo had to be careful. He asked people to discuss it, mainly because he wanted to see what attitude these elders had towards betraying the Great Xia Dynasty.
Try it first. If anyone among them objects, he will find a way to quietly get rid of the objection to avoid causing trouble for them.
At this time, an elder stood up and said: "Master, this is the best opportunity for us to get rid of the Great Xia Dynasty. We must seize this opportunity!"
Another elder also echoed: "Yes, Master, the Emperor of Heaven is definitely not the opponent of the Saint. If we surrender to the Saint earlier, there may be a way to survive. If we are a step late, the Saint may regard us as the subordinate forces of the Emperor of Heaven and destroy us together."
Then, the elders in the hall all echoed, hoping to quickly surrender to the Saint who was about to invade the Chaos Star Sea.
Seeing the reactions of these elders, Xu Nianshuo was very satisfied. As long as these elders were on his side, there would be no problem.
But...
At this time, Xu Nianshuo's eyes fell on the great elder of Yufeng Sect.
Other elders spoke up, but Zhang Yidong, the great elder of Yufeng Sect, did not speak for a long time, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Seeing that Zhang Yidong was hesitant to speak, Xu Nianshuo frowned slightly. Zhang Yidong was the second in command of the Yufeng Sect. Because of his status as the Great Elder, he often opposed himself as the Sect Master.
Xu Nianshuo was very relieved about other elders, but he felt a little uneasy about Zhang Yidong. Zhang Yidong was an unstable factor.
He thought to himself that if Zhang Yidong was unwilling to join them, it would be a bit troublesome.
Zhang Yidong was able to become the Great Elder of the Yufeng Sect not only because he was powerful, but also because he had some means. Many people in the entire Yufeng Sect stood on Zhang Yidong's side.
If they wanted to take action against Zhang Yidong, it would inevitably cause great turmoil. If they made too much noise, it would likely attract the attention of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Xu Nianshuo then asked, "I wonder what you think, brother?"
Zhang Yidong came back to his senses at this time, and he said lightly, "If there is really a saint-level cultivator entering the Chaos Star Sea, then the Great Xia Dynasty is indeed not far from destruction, but have you ever thought about how we can contact that saint in advance?"
"The Emperor of Heaven only said that a force is about to invade the Chaos Star Sea, but we don't even know where this force comes from or what kind of force it is, so how can we get in touch with them?"
Seeing that Zhang Yidong was not opposed to joining the saint, Xu Nianshuo was relieved. He didn't want to conflict with Zhang Yidong for the time being, at least he didn't want to attack Zhang Yidong at this juncture.
Since Zhang Yidong also agreed to join the saint, it would be much easier. Xu Niansuo said, "Brother, don't worry. As long as we tell the Emperor of Heaven in advance that we want to garrison the Qianren World, when our people patrol the edge of the Chaos Star Sea, they will naturally have the hope of encountering spies sent by that force."
In Xu Niansuo's view, since the other party has planned to invade the Chaos Star Sea, that force will definitely send some spies to inquire about the situation in the Chaos Star Sea.
As long as they stay at the edge of the Chaos Star Sea, are they afraid of not encountering spies from that force?
Zhang Yidong thought for a while and said, "Brother's method is feasible, so let's do it according to your opinion."
Seeing that Zhang Yidong said so, Xu Niansuo's mouth corners slightly raised, and then said, "Since you have decided, then I will immediately write an application to the Cultivator Association."
The Cultivator Association also belongs to the Great Xia court. It is a department that specializes in managing sect forces. Sect forces can directly contact the Cultivator Association for any problems.
If Xu Niansuo wants to send disciples from his sect to garrison in the Qianren World, he also needs to write an application and submit it to the Cultivators Association.
After the sect meeting was over, Zhang Yidong returned to his mountain. At this time, an inner sect elder came to Zhang Yidong's cave.
"Grand elder, are you really going to join that saint?"
The man was Zhang Yidong's confidant and a cultivator of Zhang Yidong's sect. He also participated in the sect meeting just now. Although he seemed to agree to join the so-called saint, he actually felt that this was a little unreliable.
If the force that invaded the Chaos Star Sea really had a saint-level strongman in charge, it must be a force with very strong overall strength.
If the other party was really powerful, how could they look down on a small force in the Savage Star Domain? They, the Yufeng Sect, didn't even have any value to use.
Of course, this is not the most critical.
After hearing Gao Jinming's words, Zhang Yidong said lightly: "It's not certain whether there is that so-called saint. Xu Niansuo is so anxious to be a dog for others. He doesn't know how he will die at that time."
Hearing Zhang Yidong's words, Gao Jinming was slightly stunned.
Zhang Yidong continued, "The Yufeng Sect has been ruled by the Great Xia Dynasty for so many years, and Xu Nianshuo has not yet seen clearly what kind of person the Emperor of Heaven is, and he is still thinking about opposing the Emperor of Heaven."
Zhang Yidong did not believe that this was a crisis at all. Over the years, the Great Xia Dynasty would reveal some flaws from time to time, making people feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and in the end, those forces that took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble would be liquidated.
Gao Jinming then asked, "What if there really is a Saint Realm powerhouse invading the Chaos Star Sea?"
Zhang Yidong laughed and said, "Even if there is really a Saint Realm powerhouse invading the Chaos Star Sea, it is highly likely that they are not the opponent of the Emperor of Heaven, otherwise the Emperor of Heaven would not be so calm when convening the Cultivator Conference."
