Some people were dissatisfied, at least the two major sects that had recently fled were very dissatisfied.
Although they suffered no real losses, they genuinely lost face, revealing their cowardice to many powerful forces at the time.
They were scared away by Su Lin's name without even fighting a single battle!
If this matter isn't handled properly, not only will Xiaoyun Temple come looking for trouble, but some sects that are both enemies and friends around us will also get restless, thinking that we are easy to bully, and thus swarm in to devour our sect.
At this moment, all the sects in the world are not united in their desire to fight against Xiaoyun Temple, but have long since entered the era of the law of the jungle.
The strong prey on the weak, and the weak struggle to survive.
Anyone who shows signs of fatigue is yesterday's temporary ally and today's bloodthirsty wolf!
Fortunately, there is still some room for maneuver regarding the Xiaoyun Temple matter, and some good news has emerged.
It has been confirmed that of the more than one hundred Tian Shu cultivators inside Xiaoyun Temple, only about twenty remain. Even a Mahayana expert has perished, dragged down with him by a Mahayana patriarch from Wenxian Manor.
This is the only thing that makes everyone feel relieved. Xiaoyun Temple fought fiercely and used extremely fast methods, but the price of this fierce and rapid fighting was also huge, with the sect's high-end combat power falling very quickly.
Even without the Tian Shu cultivators, Xiao Yun Temple remains a tempting target, coveted by countless sects across the land, and the strategies of some sects will still be effective.
But soon!
Before these sects could even begin to persuade each other to form a new alliance, another piece of news that shocked the world arrived!
"Outside the gates of Qiankun Pavilion! Li Xingtian has ruthlessly slain a Tribulation Transcending expert! He has killed another Tribulation Transcending cultivator from Qiankun Pavilion!"
"While Li Xingtian was fighting with the powerful figures, Tianya Mountain devised a plan to lead millions of cultivators in a fierce attack on the mountain gate! The protective array of Qiankun Pavilion was on the verge of collapse! It was only thanks to the efforts of several Tribulation Transcending Ancestors from the inner sect who risked serious injury to lead the sect members in the painstaking repair and maintenance!"
"The specific situation inside the Qiankun Pavilion's mountain gate is still unknown, but some speculate that this incident has caused considerable losses to the Qiankun Pavilion! The foundation of the once strongest immortal sect has been further weakened!"
"With the eight sects joining forces, there must be a master inside! They are too calm and composed, not impatient at all, determined to take over Qiankun Pavilion steadily!"
The Nine Sects are, after all, the strong forces of the old order. They have not yet fallen and remain the focus of close attention from all living beings in the world.
But as new developments in the siege battle were being reported, a low-key piece of news was also revealed!
"Both Tianya Mountain and Yunyin Sect have simultaneously dispatched cultivators out of the area! There seems to be another order in mind!"
"Someone visited Xiaoyun Temple seeking an alliance and witnessed firsthand that the number of Tian Shu cultivators within the sect has not decreased but increased! There are already over five hundred!"
This news shocked the world!
What's going on at Xiaoyun Temple?
How come their top combat power seems to be increasing with each battle?
People felt helpless, but they also understood the complexities involved. After all, Xiaoyun Temple had a close relationship with Tianya Mountain and was a representative of its interests. Tianya Mountain suffered little loss in the siege and naturally had the resources to continue supporting Xiaoyun Temple.
Previously, Xiaoyun Temple only had a little over a hundred Tian Shu cultivators, but now it has transformed into five hundred Tian Shu cultivators!
This is bad, it's getting harder and harder to beat them!
But that wasn't the end of it. On the third day, an even more despairing message came out!
"Even more astonishing news has arrived! Chu Mo, a prodigy disciple of the Longevity Pavilion, has left the siege and personally visited the Xiaoyun Temple, leaving behind a Tribulation Transcending Elder from the Longevity Pavilion to oversee the temple!"
"Isn't Changsheng Pavilion an ally of Changshen Palace? Why is it also supporting Xiaoyun Temple? Has the Eight Sects truly made peace?"
The world was baffled by this news, and the shock was beyond words.
What was the origin of this siege?
The eighty-year-long battle between Changshen Palace and Tianya Mountain gradually evolved into a 4v4 confrontation between the immortal sects, and the unfortunate Wanfa Qiankun Pavilion eventually became a thorn in the side of the eight sects.
Changsheng Pavilion is, on the surface, a celestial sect affiliated with Changshen Palace!
Xiaoyun Temple has already received support from Tianya Mountain, so why is the immortal sect of Changshen Palace also supporting Su Lin?
People don't understand how Xiaoyun Temple, which has already "submitted" to Tianya Mountain, can continue to be so adept at navigating social situations.
It's absolutely impossible that Changshen Palace didn't know about this; it's news that everyone in the world knows, and the Eight Sects must have already discussed it internally.
But on what grounds?
What's so special about Xiaoyun Temple that it deserves such preferential treatment? Why is this sect being favored when the eight sects are fighting amongst themselves?
Only a very few intelligent people saw the truth in this matter. On the surface, Xiaoyun Temple relies more on Tianya Mountain, but in the current world situation, it plays the role of the guardian of the order of the eight sects.
To put it bluntly, Xiaoyun Temple still has a chance to be won over by any of the eight sects.
If we simply allow Tianya Mountain to provide support to Xiaoyun Temple, then Xiaoyun Temple might actually surrender to Tianya Mountain after the siege.
This situation is unacceptable to any of the eight factions.
The best solution is to destroy Xiaoyun Temple! No one will gain another excellent vassal sect!
But doing so raises a new problem: if Xiaoyun Temple is destroyed, who will help the Eight Sects with their work? Who will clean up this mess across the land?
Even if Xiaoyun Temple is destroyed and another sect is supported, can Xiaoyun Temple's situation be any more special?
Xiaoyun Temple is connected to both major immortal sects, and has always maintained a neutral stance, keeping its relations with all eight sects fairly good.
If we disregard Xiaoyun Temple and replace it with any non-immortal sect power as the representative of the old order, then the new sect must have its own immortal sect master behind it!
Of all the sects in the world, apart from the Xiaoyun Temple and the rogue cultivators, every powerful sect has had a clearly defined immortal sect master.
No matter who does the work, there will inevitably be a sect among the eight sects that is dissatisfied and will definitely sabotage it in secret, either by killing or annihilating it. In the end, the interests of the eight sects in the outside world will be left unprotected, and all eight sects will suffer losses at the level of the old order.
Ba Zong isn't stupid; he'll understand this matter once he thinks about it.
In all the world, there is no one more suitable to be the spokesperson than Xiaoyun Temple!
