Boom!
Lu Ming was the first to rush out of the sect protection formation. The shocking sword energy stirred up endless winds and clouds, and even the stars in the sky were shaken.
Except for a small number of elders who stayed behind to guard the sect's great formation, the rest of the elders rushed out one after another, following closely behind Lu Ming, to fight desperately with the Yanyang Palace, the Xinghai Alliance, the Shadow Demon Palace and many independent cultivators.
"How dare you come out?"
"Hahaha, good job!"
“Kill them!”
"Most of the elite members of the Haoyue Sect are here. As long as we kill them, the Haoyue Sect will collapse without a fight!"
"kill!"
The strong men from the three sects and the independent cultivators immediately changed their targets. They no longer joined forces to attack the sect protection formation, but instead focused all their efforts on attacking Lu Ming and the others.
The gap in the number of people is several times...
Even though everyone in the Haoyue Sect was extremely excited at this moment, this huge gap could not be ignored and was difficult to make up for!
"this···"
"What should I do?"
In just a moment, everyone was horrified.
It feels like death is coming!
The gap is really too big.
The quality of both sides is similar, but the quantity differs several times. How can they fight?
Could it be...
Is it really true that I can only wait for death, or turn around immediately, go back into the formation, and continue to be a coward?
"Don't panic!"
"us···"
“Not defeated yet!!!”
"Sword Twenty-Three!"
Lu Ming shouted loudly and used Sword Twenty-Three forcefully.
What a pity...
Just as he said, the other side had too many people and too strong.
Even though Jian Twenty-Three was abnormal enough, he could only stay still for a moment.
It's really just...
Just a moment!
However, the mighty man of the eighth realm fought desperately, and the difference of a split second seemed like eternity!
"puff!!!"
Lu Ming instantly vomited blood and semen from his mouth and retreated explosively.
but···
Gu Qingyun and others all seized this opportunity and tried their best at this moment.
Boom!!!
"ah!!!"
Several demon cultivators were killed!
The Xinghai Alliance even had a sub-leader 'killed', and Gu Qingyun seized the opportunity to beat him to death!
"Damn it!"
"Youngster, don't be so arrogant!"
The people from the three sects were furious, and those independent cultivators were particularly frightened.
But at the same time, they all discovered that Lu Ming was the key point.
Lu Ming must be killed first!
In just a moment, Lu Ming became the target of public criticism and was besieged by everyone.
"Protect the master!"
The second elder exclaimed and immediately rushed towards Lu Ming.
Upon seeing this, all the elders and supreme elders rushed over, trying their best to share the pressure with Lu Ming even at the risk of being seriously injured themselves.
However···
The gap is still too big.
In just a moment, everyone was in danger again.
"Mad, I'm going to fight you!"
The second elder roared and took drugs!
Others followed suit.
Damn, it would be a waste if I don't take the medicine that Elder Lu just gave me!
After taking the explosive pills, their combat power instantly increased significantly.
Coupled with various explosive secret techniques, they managed to hold on for a short period of time!
"On drugs?!"
“We have it too!!!”
The people from the three sects were naturally well prepared.
All of this is within the "plan", so there is no need to panic.
immediately···
All on drugs.
Seeing that the respite they had finally gained was disappearing again, everyone in the Haoyue Sect felt a sudden sinking of heart.
"Come again!!!"
Lu Ming shouted.
He swallowed a pill of Bu Tian Dan and took some explosive pill, then he made another forced attack.
"sword···"
"Twenty-three!!!"
boom!
Everybody is working hard!
Even though Lu Ming had taken drugs, he could still only freeze the other person for a moment.
even···
This time, the backlash he suffered was even more terrifying.
In just a moment, blood started to flow from all seven orifices and blood gushed out of his mouth, which was extremely terrifying and horrifying. Even his entire breath was weak and he almost fainted.
Gu Qingyun and others also seized the opportunity and killed some people again.
But...
It's still a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, they were all injured and in very bad condition.
If it weren't for the elixirs Lu Ming prepared, a large number of them would have been killed in the battle.
"Kill Lu Ming!"
"Whoever kills Lu Ming will be rewarded with 10 million Yuan stones and a copy of the Emperor's Scripture!!!"
"The one who killed Lu Ming..."
Yan Lie and others were extremely angry!
Damn, it was a sure win, and we could have done it without any injuries, but because of you, Lu Ming, we suffered casualties one after another...
How can I keep you?!
For a moment, they were so angry that they even wanted to kill Lu Ming, whom they were originally planning to "rob".
The Haoyue Sect is trying their best to defend it!
Seriously injured one after another.
The battlefield was constantly suppressed.
The Haoyue Sect keeps retreating, retreating...
They protected Lu Ming, who seemed to be almost dying, injected him with the Bu Tian Dan, and barely retreated...
Fortunately, they were not far from the sect protection formation to begin with. Seeing that they had no other options, and the opponent's offensive was like a tsunami, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and retreat back into the sect protection formation.
Boom!
An almost endless offensive is bombarding.
The sect protection formation right in front of us was humming and trembling slowly...
Everyone from Haoyue Sect...
Everyone was silent.
The disciples were also silent.
Everyone saw how powerful and desperate Lu Ming was.
But...
There are really too many enemies.
Is there really no hope?
After taking the Bu Tian Dan, Lu Ming's eyes regained some spirit. At this moment, he gritted his teeth, barely stood up, stood in the formation, and looked at the "flood" outside...
But that was not a flood at all.
It is clearly the 'Sea of Laws' formed by various terrorist attacks coming together!
And in that "flood", there are also many terrifying existences.
That is their magic weapon!!!
"Damn it!"
Boom!
Lu Ming smashed the sect protection formation fiercely: "Is there really no other way?"
The elders were silent.
They were all smiling silently.
Any solution?
How I wish there was.
But...
What else can we do?
They really tried their best. Even so, it was only because Lu Ming almost risked his life that he managed to kill more than a dozen of the other side.
At this moment, almost everyone on our side was seriously injured...
Even the Bu Tian Pills can't make up for it, how can we fight?
Don't fight...
Isn't it just a chronic death?
If you beat him you will die; if you don't beat him you will die too.
Perhaps, the only difference is that if you continue to fight, you will die faster?
Silent bitter smile.
Helplessness and despair linger in almost everyone's heart.
"hateful."
"Damn it!"
Lu Ming couldn't help but whisper: "Why is there no solution?"
"If there is a way..."
"If there is a way to save the Haoyue Sect from this disaster, I will do anything for it!"
"Even if my soul is shattered, even if my body falls into the underworld, or even...even if I am humiliated by my enemies for thousands of years, I will not hesitate."
"But why is there no solution?"
The sound is like crying blood.
Everyone who heard it had their hearts trembling.
But...
They were left with nothing but helplessness.
Everyone felt Lu Ming's determination.
But...
What else can I do?
There is really no other way!
but···
When the Second Elder heard Lu Ming's words, he couldn't help but think of what Lu Ming had said to him on the Cliff of Repentance.
For the sake of the sect...
Even if he means working as a slave for a hostile force, he is willing to do that!
Hostile forces
Work like a horse or an ox?
He couldn't help but start pondering.
If the Haoyue Sect surrenders and begs for mercy now, will they have a chance to survive?
After thinking about it for a while, the second elder felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
There is no way to survive!
There is no hope.
If it was just the Yanyang Palace and the Xinghai Alliance, maybe it could be tried, but with the Shadow Demon Palace and those independent cultivators and demons, it would definitely be impossible.
them···
We must eradicate the roots of the problem!
In other words...
Is there not even a chance to beg for mercy or to "surrender to the enemy"?
This is too despairing.
The second elder was sweating profusely.
"ha."
He laughed silently and miserably: "So... the seemingly unattainable and invincible Haoyue Sect is actually so fragile."
"Even, even surrendering to the enemy..."
Um?!
He suddenly shuddered all over.
"If you say surrender to the enemy, actually..."
"The biggest enemy of Haoyue Sect before today was not them, but Lanyue Sect???"
"!!!"
At this moment, an extremely terrifying idea suddenly popped up in the second elder's mind.
if···
Did the Haoyue Sect give in to the Lanyue Sect or even surrender directly? !
With the strength of the Moon-Raising Sect...
Since they had the ability to destroy the Sun and Moon Immortal Dynasty, it meant that they had at least the strength of an upper-middle-level first-rate sect!
And after that, it took several years of development!
The most important thing is that they are valued by the Black and White Academy, and have made good friends with first-class sects such as the Spirit Sword Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, and the Taihe Palace...
If Lanyue Sect is willing to accept surrender, Haoyue Sect may have a great chance of resolving the current crisis.
"No, Danta must be included too!!!"
"A few days ago, Danta was merged into Lanyue Sect, which further increased the strength of Lanyue Sect. And it's not just the combat power, but more importantly the influence!"
"The Moon-Raising Sect, which owns the Dan Tower, has unprecedented appeal and influence!"
"If they want..."
"The danger of Haoyue Sect can be resolved in an instant!"
The second elder took a breath of cold air instantly.
Own···
It seems like we have found a solution to the problem!
Although it's fucked up, although... it's easy for people to think I'm a coward if I say it out loud, but this is indeed a way to break the deadlock.
He hasn't forgotten how Lu Ming dealt with the Ximen family!
It is because of his appeal as a grandmaster of alchemy, and the appeal of the Alchemy Tower after the return of the Alchemy Emperor will definitely be higher than that of Lu Ming.
There will naturally be no problem in breaking the impasse.
But...
This method of breaking the deadlock is too fatal and too fucked up.
I say it out...
I'm afraid people will really suspect me of being a water jumper, right?
For a moment, the second elder hesitated.
But looking at Lu Ming's desperate and powerless eyes, thinking of everything Lu Ming has done for the sect, and considering the survival and future of the entire sect...
They were destroyed by these three sects, leaving no one alive.
still···
To fight for that glimmer of hope?
No, not a glimmer of hope!
He suddenly reacted.
If the Haoyue Sect surrendered sincerely, for example, if everyone swore an oath, would the Lanyue Sect not agree? ? ?
After all, for the Lanyue Sect, it would be easier and more pleasant to recruit and employ the entire Haoyue Sect than to directly destroy the Haoyue Sect.
Besides, if you don't agree...
The Lanyue Sect no longer had the chance to take revenge personally.
So, there was no way they would not agree.
so···
This is the fucking solution.
And it’s the only way out of the situation right now!
Die standing.
Or...give birth on your knees?!
“···”
The second elder asked himself that he would rather die standing than live on his knees in a cowardly manner.
But···
Looking at Lu Ming who was desperate for the survival of the sect.
Looking at those disciples whose eyes were full of longing, even though they were scared to death, they still pretended to be calm, their eyes were full of clear and stupid...
The second elder gritted his teeth suddenly.
How many disciples does Haoyue Sect have? !
If we include the menial jobs and "outer disciples", it would be several million!!!
Could it be...
Are they all going to die standing together?
Come to think of it, it's quite tragic and it can also leave behind a legend of refusing to surrender. Doesn't it seem not bad?
But, who are you to decide the life and death of others?
How do you define whether someone is standing or kneeling?
“···”
Thinking of this, the Second Elder took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and slowly said: "Actually..."
"It's not that there is no chance. There is still a glimmer of hope."
Swish!
Everyone turned their heads instantly and looked at him.
Lu Ming flashed in front of him, grabbed his shoulders fiercely with both hands, shook him, and asked like a madman: "What chance do you have?"
"Speak, speak quickly!"
"As long as I can save the Haoyue Sect, I am willing to pay any price!"
"if only···"
“It can be done!”
The other elders were also looking at him intently, with great anticipation.
Seeing Lu Ming so anxious, the Second Elder smiled bitterly and said, "If I tell you, you will probably think I am a fool."
"but···"
"This is the only solution I can think of."
He looked around at everyone and said word by word: "That is..."
"Learn Danta."
"Learn Danta?"
Everyone was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Study the Dan Tower." The second elder said slowly, "Merge into the Lanyue Sect."
Everyone: “…”
“???!”
Lu Ming was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
I finally waited for you to say this!!!
Why do I work so hard in acting?
Isn't it just for this moment?!
but···
No, you can't show it.
Lu Ming pushed the Second Elder away and said in disbelief: "Second Elder, do you know what you are talking about? Our Haoyue Sect and Lanyue Sect are..."
"Yes, Second Elder, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"How can you make such a plan?"
"Aren't you just kidding?!"
“···”
Facing everyone's doubts, accusations and even abuse, the second elder seemed quite calm. Before he opened his mouth, he had already prepared himself mentally and planned for the worst.
At this moment, I just talk, but I don't do anything...
It's been somewhat unexpected.
"I know exactly what I'm talking about and what you're worried about."
"But... please give me some time and let me analyze it slowly."
The second elder's face was full of sincerity.
Gu Qingyun snorted coldly: "Hmph, fine, then I'll give you this chance, but if you can't explain it clearly...you are the Water Tiaozi of the Lanyue Sect, you are the traitor!"
"I will kill you myself!"
"Um."
The second elder smiled carefreely.
He...let it go.
Sect Master Lu is willing to give up everything for the sect at any cost, so why can't I be the same?
Die...just die.
But at least, everything should be made clear so that everyone knows that there is still a way out!
As for... whether to leave or not, it's up to them.
"call."
The second elder took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "First of all, since these three sects have joined forces, they definitely have no intention of giving us a chance to live."
"Therefore, surrendering and losing half will definitely not work."
Everyone nodded.
"Besides that... even if we have the chance to ask for help, it is almost impossible to succeed, because our situation is too bad, and the forces that we have been relatively friendly with in the past are unlikely to desperately help us."
"It's even possible that someone will add insult to injury. After all, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. After it falls, you can still pick up a few bricks and take them back."
"Do you agree with these?"
Everyone was silent.
Then... nodded repeatedly.
They all understood the truth, and that was why they were so desperate.
"But this is not a reason for you to join the Lanyue Sect!" Lu Ming scolded.
"What the Sect Master said is absolutely right."
The Second Elder was not annoyed and continued, "Then let's continue the analysis."
"Think about it, everyone. If everyone in my sect is willing to swear an oath to join the Lanyue Sect, will the Lanyue Sect... agree?"
Everyone was speechless.
"..., I will definitely agree!"
"nonsense!"
"With this opportunity, how could the Lanyue Sect not want it?!"
"If I were the Lanyue Sect, I would definitely agree, and then humiliate you in every possible way..."
"That's it." The second elder said quietly, "They will definitely agree!"
"Then, everyone, please think about it again. Does Lanyue Sect... have the strength and ability to save our sect from danger?"
"Where do they get their strength from?!" The Great Elder frowned and said angrily, "They are nothing!"
"My clan is helpless, they..."
but···
But there were also people who understood, and at this moment, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Lu Ming frowned as if thinking about something. He said, "Second Elder, please continue."
"yes."
The second elder cupped his hands and said, "I think they have the ability to do so."
"Several years ago, the destruction of the Sun and Moon Immortal Dynasty was enough to prove its strength."
"Secondly, the Sky-viewing Mirror is in the Lanyue Sect!"
"At the same time, the Moon-Raising Sect is related to the Black and White Academy."
“Besides... Lingjian Sect, Yushou Sect, Taihe Palace, etc., if Lanyue Sect calls for help, I think they will not mind giving Lanyue Sect this face.”
"at last···"
"Don't forget that Danta has become a part of the Lanyue Sect now."
"That's Danta!"
"With Danta's appeal..."
"Adding to that the Lanyue Sect's own strength, do you think the three sects outside, as well as those independent cultivators, can stop them?"
Lu Ming shook his head slowly.
"Let alone other things, Danta's appeal alone is probably enough to solve this problem."
As a grand master of alchemy, naturally no one doubted what he said.
only···
At this moment, everyone's face was extremely wonderful.
Damn it, so, joining the Lan Yue Sect can really solve the current crisis?
But, isn’t this too fucked up?
"this···"
Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "Second Elder, just now... I misunderstood you. It's just that, although your method is feasible, but, but this..."
"well!"
He sighed deeply and shook his head repeatedly, feeling extremely helpless.
The other elders remained silent.
In fact, everyone understands the truth.
As for living under someone else's roof, that's actually not impossible.
But damn, I have to live under someone else's roof, and even live in the Lanyue Sect. This is a bit fucked up.
It is true that few people can accept it.
"Don't I understand the worries of the sect master and the elders?"
The Second Elder had long suspected their reaction, and at this moment, he could not help but sigh: "We all know that the Moon-Lanning Sect has the power to resolve our sect's crisis."
"I also know what everyone is hesitating about and what they are worried about, or in other words, what are the disadvantages of integrating into the Lanyue Sect."
"The most important thing is nothing more than two questions."
"First, it's embarrassing."
"Secondly, they are worried that after we merge into the past, we will be targeted by the Lanyue Sect and used as slaves. They will ask us to do all the dirty, tiring, and hard work, right?"
"Perhaps there is a third reason, which is due to the hatred in the early years. It is hard to accept it for a while."
Everyone nodded silently.
Very good, powerful, and well analyzed.
Isn't that the case?
Seeing them nod, the Second Elder sighed and said, "Then let's continue the analysis. Everyone, please listen carefully."
"First of all, regarding the problem on the surface, actually... you don't have to worry about it."
"Why?" Lu Ming expressed surprise and confusion.
"Because we have the example of Huode Sect and Danta, especially Danta!" The second elder said solemnly, "In terms of influence and reputation, Danta is definitely not inferior to our sect."
"But they all quietly merged into Lanyue Sect, so why can't our Haoyue Sect do the same?"
"Most people don't think our Haoyue Sect is ashamed. Instead, they will speculate and imagine how mysterious the Lanyue Sect is and what unfathomable means it used to make Danta and even the Haoyue Sect, our enemy, be recruited one after another within just a few days."
"And it's so straightforward!"
"We can even arrange for people in our sect to spread some gossip and divert other people's comments in this direction. In this way, the impact of losing face can be minimized."
"this···"
Lu Ming blinked and was convinced: "It seems to be true?"
No one said anything.
reason···
It seems to be true.
Damn...
There's really nothing wrong with it.
“Second, the issue of being bullied, mocked, and enslaved in the past.”
"This is easy to solve. We just need to make Lanyue Sect promise us that we can't do this. Even if we are treated unequally, the difference in treatment or 'arrangements' for our Haoyue Sect cannot exceed the difference between the inner and outer sects of Lanyue Sect."
"Otherwise, I will rather die than obey!"
"I want to..."
"The Lanyue Sect will also agree. They will definitely not let go of this opportunity to increase their strength!!!"
Everyone: “…”
After hearing this, some people's eyes gradually lit up.
Don't say that.
Don't you dare say that.
Even though the Second Elder's proposal sounds extremely outrageous and makes everyone suspect that he is the real coward, after careful analysis, there is actually nothing wrong with it!
"As for the third point."
"Hatred, psychological discomfort, etc..."
"I'm telling you the truth."
The second elder lowered his voice and said, "In the beginning, the hatred was actually just the result of friction between the two sects because they were neighbors. In addition, the names of the two sects conflicted with each other, so the conflict escalated again and again..."
"During the heyday of the Lanyue Sect, we had some victories and defeats, and they killed many of our people. I believe that some of those people were people you cherished. However, over the past ten thousand years, the Lanyue Sect has declined to the point where its tradition was almost destroyed... You all have an idea of who is behind this, right?"
"If I really want to say that I feel disgusted and hateful..."
"The one we should really hate is actually the Lanyue Sect, right?"
"After all, we have taken great advantage over the past ten thousand years. We have even taken over nearly half of the Lanyue Sect's mountain gate. Many Lanyue Sect disciples and elders have died at our hands, openly or secretly..."
“···”
"So in the final analysis, what are we...disturbing?"
"On the contrary, they should be the ones who are annoying us!"
"Think longer term."
"If Lin Fan agrees to our conditions, and once he accepts our surrender, he must give up the past and not seek revenge, I'm afraid those 'old men' in Lanyue Sect will be extremely upset and depressed, and may even... gradually become alienated from Lin Fan and have a crisis of trust."
"This...is not bad news for us."
"What do you think?"
Everyone: “…”
It's numb!
It's so fucking numb!
They stared at the Second Elder, breathing heavily, their eyes shining.
But at the same time, I was extremely confused.
If you say so...
If our Haoyue Sect directly joins them, there will be no disadvantages at all, only benefits?
They wanted to refute, but after thinking about it...
All that was left in my mind was: What you said makes a lot of sense, I am speechless!
It was at this moment that the Second Elder's words became more and more fluent.
He found that his mind was opened!
"Also, think carefully, everyone. If the Lanyue Sect agrees to give us equal treatment, what does that mean?"
"What does it mean?" Gu Qingyun was already confused, and at this moment, he couldn't help but ask.
"Representative, from now on, Danta is our 'back garden'! They will serve us, so why should we worry about elixirs?"
"Master Lu, do you really need to work so hard and risk your life to make pills for us?!"
"How many people are there in our Haoyue Sect? Even if Sect Master Lu doesn't eat or drink, or even if we tire him to death, we still can't handle it! But if we add the Dan Tower, will our sect still lack high-quality elixirs?"
"During this period of time, you have all seen the changes in the outer disciples, right?"
"I got a high-quality elixir. How pleasing is the growth rate?"
"If our entire sect had sufficient supply of elixirs..."
"Do I need to say more about this benefit?"
Everyone: "Σ(⊙▽⊙"a?~!"
Oh shit, another benefit!
You...
It's hard for us to believe that you are not a water jumper.
But then again, it does make a lot of damn sense!
Let's imagine again, if I could eat high-quality pills like candy beans every day, my cultivation speed would... cough cough cough.
grass!
What's going on? I suddenly feel moved!
My heart...is a little shaken!
Oh my god.
Could it be that I actually have the potential to be a scoundrel or a clan traitor?
This is too fucked up and too ridiculous.
They looked at each other.
Although everyone was moved and excited, no one moved their bodies.
No one agreed.
Even though everyone understood that what the Second Elder said was correct, there was still one question that had to be considered - how would the ancestors explain it? !
We fought hard to found the Haoyue Sect, but you turned around and surrendered to the enemy?!
so···
No matter how much your intention or heart is moved, your body cannot move.
After all, it's too outrageous!
The second elder brought it up and he could still criticize it.
But if I were the first to agree...
It's hard not to be considered as an 'accomplice' and a troublemaker.
Lu Ming looked conflicted: "Second Elder, please stop talking."
"This matter...is still inappropriate."
"Why is it inappropriate?" The second elder asked, "Does it mean that just for our sake of face, we have to disregard the lives of millions of disciples in the sect?"
"Why should we decide their life or death?!"
"Besides, Sect Master Lu, you have said more than once that as long as you can contribute to the sect and make the sect live a better life, you will do whatever it takes, even if it means working like a slave for your enemies!"
"Now, you don't even have to work like a slave for your enemies... Why wouldn't you want to try?"
Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "What I said only represents myself. How can I represent the entire sect?"
"If I can resolve this crisis by working as a slave for the Lanyue Sect, I will definitely agree without hesitation. But, as you just said, what right do I have to make a decision for the entire sect?"
"Just because... I'm the lord?"
“I don’t think I’m qualified.”
"That's it!"
The second elder took a deep breath and questioned everyone in a stern voice: "The sect master doesn't think he is qualified to make decisions for the entire sect. Do we have the right to make decisions for millions of disciples and die together... tragically?"
Everyone was silent.
His expression also dimmed.
This kind of thing is really hard to decide.
It concerns the life and death of so many people!
But if you want to live, you need unimaginable courage.
This matter...
It's really confusing.
Seeing everyone silent, the second elder said solemnly: "So I think that this matter should be decided by everyone together, rather than by us deciding everyone's life and death."
"So, I propose!"
"Let's make this choice public, and let everyone in the sect decide together. Will we, the Haoyue Sect, die together in a tragic way, or..."
"Bend down, survive, and embrace a better future?"
"metropolitan!"
"Just now, you said it clearly. Are you still hesitating?!"
Lu Ming was still hesitating.
The Grand Elder Gu Qingyun frowned and said, "Actually, what the Second Elder said is not without reason."
"Everyone..."
"What do you think?"
If someone gives in, this matter will be much easier.
After all, who wants to die when they can live?
Moreover, there is nothing wrong with the Second Elder's proposal.
It's fair for everyone to come together to 'vote' to decide life and death!
Water jump?
It can't be that most of the people in the sect are cowards, right?
As a result, many elders expressed their agreement one after another.
But Lu Ming...
He remained silent and hesitant.
Although he was already very happy in his heart, the show still had to go on.
Soon, most of the elders agreed that everyone in the sect should vote to decide life and death.
A small number of elders refused.
A small number chose to abstain.
It is at this moment...
Everyone looked at Lu Ming.
"metropolitan."
“Make a decision!”
"But, I, this..."
Lu Ming was still hesitating.
but···
Sudden!
boom!!!
Inside the sect, a formation's center suddenly exploded!
It is also the core of the sect protection formation.
Then the second, third, fourth...
Boom, boom, boom!!!
Roars sounded one after another, and one formation eye exploded after another.
The protective formation of the sect was weakened in an instant.
In just a moment, it was weakened by more than half!
“Damn it!!!”
"Shui Tiaozi has a back-up plan?!!"
"Quick, we must ensure that there are no problems with the subsequent array eyes!!!"
The elders' scalps went numb, and they were immediately terrified: "The formation has been weakened by more than half, and it can no longer hold on. At most, it can still support..."
"Half an hour!"
"No, not even one stick of incense!"
"We must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise...it will be too late!"
"metropolitan!!!"
"Master, this concerns the lives of all the sect members. We..."
······
"The formation has been weakened?!"
"Some of their formations have problems, and they are exploding one after another!!!"
"Hiss, good news, great joy, hurry up, work harder, destroy the sect protection formation, and destroy the Haoyue Sect!"
The people from the three sects and many independent cultivators were immediately overjoyed.
Meanwhile...
The people of Yanyang Palace were secretly shocked: "Damn it, is it Xinghai League? Or Shadow Demon Palace? They actually have such means, and the Haoyue Sect has been infiltrated by them! Hiss! After returning, we must investigate thoroughly!"
The people of Xinghai League were also terrified: "Damn it, the Yanyang Palace or the Shadow Palace? They are hidden so deep! Could it be that... we also have their own water jumpers?"
The people of Shadow Demon Palace: "Damn it, Yanyang Palace... or Xinghai Alliance? They are hiding it very well!..."
The scattered cultivators: "Hiss, damn it, is this the strength of these big forces and big sects? They can even infiltrate the Haoyue Palace. This is the gap between us three cultivators and the big forces. The means and background are endless. It seems that the Haoyue Sect is doomed today."
······
"well."
Lu Ming laughed bitterly: "Now it seems that this is the only way."
"But I never thought that I would lead the sect down such a path just after becoming the sect leader. I... am the eternal sinner of the sect."
The elders were silent for a moment: "..."
Damn!
You know what, there is really nothing wrong with what he said.
Thinking about it carefully, he even had a sense that he and others were forcing Lu Ming to become the sect leader and to be the super invincible scapegoat.
this···
Oh shit.
We deserve to die!
They blame themselves immensely.
"You don't need to do that."
Lu Ming smiled carefreely at this moment: "It's just a reputation. As long as... it's for the sect, what does it matter? Why should I, Lu Ming, be afraid?!"
"Let's fight!"
"It's just that the Second Elder overlooked a problem. Our sect has been blocked. Even if everyone agrees to join the Lanyue Sect, how can we contact them?"
“So it takes one person to fight their way out, to break the blockade, to spread the message.”
"And this person is none other than me. I am the only one who can contact Long Aojiao and the Lanyue Sect."
"So, the voting should be led by the elders, and it must be completed in the shortest possible time, but..."
"call."
Lu Ming let out a long sigh: "Let's fight for this way out!"
"Master!" The second elder choked up.
From his perspective...
It was obvious that Lu Ming couldn't bear the humiliation and didn't want to live with this damn infamy, so he had to fight for that glimmer of hope with his own life.
he···
There was no plan to live!!!
And all this is because of the "vitality" that I proposed.
Own···
Is it right or wrong to make this suggestion?
But on second thought, he felt relieved.
At worst, I can die in battle along with the sect leader.
After all, if I don't bring it up, everyone's future will only be death...
Huh? Wait, that's not right!
The sect leader is a great master of alchemy and is very popular!
Even though the people from those three sects were clamoring loudly, if they had the chance, they would definitely capture the sect masters alive and force them to refine pills for them. In other words, the survival rate of the sect masters was actually... the highest.
Maybe even if all the people in Haoyue Sect died, the Sect Master would still be alive and well and be treated as a guest of honor.
so···
Did I really harm him?
······
"Everyone."
Lu Ming slowly ascended into the air and said, "After this, I will not know whether I live or die. As for this infamy...I will bear it anyway, so I will announce it to the whole sect."
"At least... you can still preserve your glorious and majestic image in the hearts of the disciples, and it will be easier for you to manage the disciples in the future."
"As for the follow-up, I'll leave it to you."
At this moment, all the elders were moved and looked at Lu Ming with incomparable admiration and complicated eyes.
That is true admiration from the heart, and the trust level is full!
At this moment, Lu Ming smiled secretly in his heart.
Little guys, can't I defeat you like this?!
This chain of plans has almost come to fruition~!
······
Lu Ming flew high into the sky, and his voice spread throughout the Haoyue Sect.
"All disciples of Haoyue Sect, listen up. At present, our sect is surrounded by powerful enemies, and Shui Tiaozi is also working inside and outside to help. Haoyue Sect is facing a life-or-death situation."
"At present, there is only one way to survive!"
"That is..."
"I know very well that this move is hard to accept, and even a bit outrageous, but it is the only way to survive at the moment!"
"This master can die standing up, or live on his knees."
"But, as the sect leader, I cannot decide life, death, and future for everyone. Your life, death, and future should be in your own hands!"
"Therefore, I have decided that whether or not to join the Lanyue Sect will be decided by everyone voting together."
"The elders are jointly responsible for the voting."
"And this sect master..."
"Go ahead and make this road truly active for everyone!"
Lu Ming raised his sword, his expression as calm as an ancient well, and flew out of the formation...
"Master!!!" Wen Ruyan felt a pain in his heart. He didn't know when he had already burst into tears. He was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
"Master!" All the sect masters and direct disciples looked at all this in disbelief. At the same time, they were also worried about Lu Ming.
"Sect Master!!!"
Among the inner and outer disciples, countless people were crying and shouting.
"You can't!"
"We have failed to repay your kindness..."
"I'll wait, I'll wait..."
“That’s enough!”
The second elder climbed up and shouted, "Time is running out, don't cry or waste time, lest the Sect Master sacrifices himself in vain, that would be the greatest disrespect and unfilial act towards the Sect Master!"
“Make a decision!”
"Those who agree, raise your hands!!!" (End of this chapter)
