Why did you stop talking?
Su Lin looked at the male disciple, who remained silent and then bowed with shame, saying, "This disciple has suddenly realized that I underestimated the immortal sects."
"With the wisdom of the Immortal Sect, how could they not see through the stakes involved in the Immortal Source Stone?"
"Since the eight sects have the courage to join forces to launch a surprise attack on the Myriad Laws Universe Pavilion, they can naturally suppress the unity of these 40,000 people. If the 40,000 immortal sect cultivators unite and do not fight among themselves, their chances of winning are actually greater."
He finally realized that the Immortal Sect was not as bad as the cultivators in the world said.
The Immortal Source Stone is the core interest of the eight great immortal sects that cannot be touched. The immortal sects also know the principle that the invincible golden body cannot be broken... Since the eight great immortal sects dared to send people out, and only sent 40,000 people, they must be confident of victory!
"Even so, I still believe that the Sea of Ten Thousand Forests still has a chance of winning, and they can still seize at least one source stone."
You're wrong.
Su Lin shook his head and pointed out the core of the problem: "A mob of tens of millions is ultimately unlikely to amount to anything. If we're talking about a lack of unity, these tens of millions are even less united than forty thousand."
"Never in the world has ever truly obtained the Immortal Inquiry Source Stone, nor understand its true wonders, so it may not be able to truly make the decision to die for it."
"But the Immortal Sect is different. Although they are few in number, they will definitely unite in this matter. Once the Immortal Sect uses some methods, they will surely be able to cause the army of millions to collapse and be defeated without a fight."
After Su Lin finished speaking, the disciples nodded in agreement, and the male disciples also nodded in agreement: "Master is absolutely right. It should be just as Senior Sister said at the beginning. We should choose the Immortal Sect."
"select?"
Wang Zhaoning frowned, shook her head, and said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, Master won't choose, he won't go from either side."
"Not choosing either side?"
The disciples were taken aback. If they weren't going to make a choice, what was the point of analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of these two groups?
Immediately, pairs of young eyes turned to Su Lin. Su Lin did not speak, but simply raised his hand to signal Wang Zhaoning to continue.
"What I said earlier was merely to explain the advantages and disadvantages of the two forces to my master."
Wang Zhaoning continued softly, "The conflict between the Immortal Sect and the myriad sects is inevitable. If we take a normal view, as long as our Xiaoyun Temple can choose the winning side, we will naturally suffer no loss."
"But if that's all we're after, why did we come to the Sea of Ten Thousand Forests, and why did Master have to lead the team himself?"
Wang Zhaoning pointed out the key point, and as the disciples gradually fell into deep thought and then came to their senses, he slowly revealed Su Lin's purpose: "What our Xiaoyun Temple wants is the Immortal Inquiry Source Stone, and not just one!"
If Xiaoyun Temple joins either side, it may not be able to obtain the source stones. It will likely be subject to the strength of that side and will not have enough say.
"We want to be the third force! To remain neutral!"
One of the disciples blurted out, and Wang Zhaoning nodded in approval: "That's right."
"How could this be! My Xiaoyun Temple is indeed powerful, and our disciples are united and fearless of death, but... but Master said that cultivation must be based on facts!"
"I dare to offer my opinion: with the strength of our single sect, how can we compete with the myriad sects and the Immortal Sect for Origin Stones?"
Some disciples couldn't believe it. They weren't blindly confident; they knew their own sect well and knew it was impossible for them to stand against either of the two major forces in the world on their own.
"I don't know either, it depends on Master."
Wang Zhaoning looked up and gave Su Lin a deep look, then lowered her head and stood to the side, saying nothing more.
Seeing this, the other disciples realized that Su Lin had other methods up his sleeve, but he couldn't reveal them.
The methods that even direct disciples cannot disclose must have a far-reaching impact and are likely the biggest source of confidence for Xiaoyun Temple on this trip!
Su Lin glanced at her with a smile, but didn't say anything more.
This girl is extremely intelligent; she can guess many things, but she is also extremely intelligent not to say it.
In this respect, she is different from Xiao Linlin and more like Lu Zhouming; she is a clever person who knows how to keep her thoughts hidden.
Wang Zhaoning guessed one of Xiaoyun Temple's trump cards and saw through the strangeness of the various movements in Wanlin Sea.
The formation of the Wanlin Sea's tens of millions of people was too fast, so fast that no one in the world had time to react, so fast that almost no one questioned where these young cultivators got the capital and means to win over so many supporters.
After all, Wang Zhaoning often managed sect affairs for Xu Zhenshu and Lu Zhouming, and she was very familiar with the influence of Yiyun Tower and Xiaoyun Chamber of Commerce. She had also been vaguely aware of Xiaoyun Temple's "Child of Hatred" plan.
Combined with the unusual behavior of Xiaoyun Temple itself, it can be concluded that the massive movement of millions of people in Wanlin Sea was secretly facilitated by Xiaoyun Temple.
From this, we can infer that Xiaoyun Temple is using all the sects under heaven to pressure the Immortal Sect, and may even actively join in and raise the banner against the Immortal Sect. This is consistent with Xiaoyun Temple's secret planning.
The problem is that Su Lin still doesn't have a clear attitude towards this young trend and continues to ignore it.
Clearly, the master did not want to get involved.
What is the significance of the master's arrangements?
Could it be that... Master also has schemes within the Immortal Sect?
Wang Zhaoning realized this but didn't dare to say it too clearly. She just secretly wondered what Su Lin's next move would be.
"Master, we will reach the Sea of Ten Thousand Forests in ten days."
One of the disciples suddenly spoke up, reminding Su Lin of the progress of their journey.
Xiaoyun Temple did not travel quickly this time, nor did they rush. However, no disciples were puzzled, as Su Lin's style has always been calm and deliberate.
The current Su Lin is different from the one in the past. Back then, he was efficient and decisive.
But now Su Lin has matured a lot and is no longer in such a hurry to do things. He takes things one step at a time and is very steady.
