These words made the other party hesitate to act rashly.
After all, he was telling the truth.
For so many years, all the major sects coveted the ancient tower but did not dare to act rashly, because Xuanzong's magic was unique in the world, and they were the only ones who could guard the evil demons in the tower and protect the peace of the ancient martial arts world.
"Hmph, then what do you say we should do?" The sect leader looked at the current situation and could only snort coldly, sitting back reluctantly.
At this time, Nan Xu saw that the situation had calmed down and then spoke: "What I mean is, we should eradicate it at the source and simply join forces to destroy the evil demon in the ancient tower."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the guest seats changed their expressions.
The sect leader who had just spoken directly shouted, "No!"
"Why not?" Nan Xu asked back.
"Because... you see, it's been so many years, and the evil demons inside can even raise silkworms. It can be seen that even if their cultivation is suppressed, they are still a force that cannot be underestimated. The ancient martial arts world was in turmoil a few months ago, and now all the sects have suffered losses, and it is not suitable for fighting again." He opened his mouth and spoke a series of big truths, as if he was afraid that he would be sent to the ancient tower if he spoke slowly.
Nan Xu let out a cold smile. "Ha, whether you can't win or you're afraid of damaging your own sect's combat power, you all know the answer. Anyway, Xuanzong is no longer safe. The silkworm beasts and spirits have exhausted us. If the ancient pagoda is further damaged and evil demons are revealed, whoever is capable will take care of it."
"Elder Nan, you can't say that. The ancient pagoda has always been your responsibility." The sect leader stood up again with a red face and accused.
However, Nan Xu tilted his head, spread his hands and said, "So I have already proposed a joint elimination method."
This bad attitude choked the other party and made him speechless for a long time.
Ye Lan listened at the end and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips slightly.
When it comes to negotiations at such meetings, she has never worried that Xuanzong would be at a disadvantage.
Because this group of elders have been nagging her since she was a child, and each one of them is more eloquent than the other, especially Liancheng and Nanxu, one with a good face and the other with a bad face, who are basically invincible.
So rather than a discussion, it would be more accurate to say that it was a notification to all the major sects - that the evil demons in the ancient pagoda must be eradicated.
Beidou Sect unconditionally supports Xuan Sect, while Hongmei Sect on the nearby hill is composed entirely of women and has always depended on Xuan Sect for survival. Although the other four major sects have an advantage in numbers, their strength is not strong.
The sect leader held out for a while, but ultimately succumbed. He said dejectedly, "So, how do you say we fight? Let me make it clear first, my sect is still recuperating, so we can't send many people."
"It's okay, I've already counted them for you." Nan Xu only listened to the first sentence, took the table prepared by Lian Cheng, and began to call out names on the spot, "Beidou Sect has sixteen disciples above the fifth level, Hongmei Sect has twelve, Taicang Sect has fifteen..."
She recited a long string of words in an eloquent manner, making the faces of the several major sects behind her turn green.
The head of the Taicang Sect gritted his teeth and said, "We don't have that many disciples above the fifth level in our sect."
"Hmm? No?" Nan Xu tilted her head to look at him, then glanced at the list and said, "Except for your fourth disciple who had a hemorrhoidectomy last month, and one of your grand disciples who just got married and is on his honeymoon, the rest are all fine, right?"
Taicang Sect Master: "..."
The muscles on his face twitched twice, and he completely gave up on Xuanzong's information network.
The other sects also gave up struggling and asked their disciples to return to their sects to mobilize all the experts.
Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, Xiaoer secretly asked Ye Lan beside him, "Are fifth-level masters very powerful? Why do they seem reluctant to let them go?"
"Hmm." Ye Lan nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "The higher you advance in ancient martial arts, the harder it is to climb. A level is a small realm that is difficult to cross. The gap between the fourth and fifth levels can sometimes be hundreds of years. Therefore, masters above the fifth level in each sect are basically at the elder level."
In other words, it is the sect's mainstay.
Now if they are asked to recruit all the people, if one or two people are lost when entering the ancient tower, it will be a huge blow to their sect.
"So that's how it is. What if someone is cheating inside and not doing their part?" The youngest boy knew very well that human nature is treacherous, and he immediately thought of the worst possible scenario.
After saying this, he attracted the attention of Qing Teng, who was closest to him.
He looked a little surprised, as if he had not expected that such a talent would appear in the Beidou Sect, which was famous for its straightforwardness and inflexibility.
When their eyes met, he simply smiled and kindly replied, "There are many evil demons in the ancient tower, and everyone may be busy taking care of themselves. If you don't use all your strength to kill the enemies and protect yourself, you will be unlucky if you die in there."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Xiao Er nodded in understanding, thanked Qing Teng, and turned to persuade Ye Lan, "It's such a dangerous thing, why don't you not go? The old cripple is in poor health, and I don't want him to go either."
The green vine next to him: "..."
You are quite smart, boy.
Ye Lan knew that he was not a bad person and was sincerely thinking about him, so he said, "Your master has only reached the fourth level, there is no need to go in."
"Then Wu Heng doesn't have to go either?!" The youngest boy immediately became happy, and not forgetting to think about his brothers, he said, "Judging from your age, you must not have reached the fifth level yet, so we don't have to go."
No need to get involved in muddy water, everyone is happy!
Seeing that he was so happy that he almost set off firecrackers to celebrate, Ye Lan couldn't help but shook her head with a smile in her eyes, "No, I want to go in."
The little one's smile faltered as he asked in confusion, "Why? You don't even have enough strength, so going in would be a waste of your life."
Besides, you have only been here for two days, so there is no need to have such a strong sense of belonging and to sacrifice your life for the sect.
