He stood up tall, walked down from his seat directly, and took the hand of True Master Wuji, heading outside.
"Sect Leader Chen, please think thrice."
True Master Wuji spoke again.
"Right or wrong, I have long decided. Today, let’s not discuss business, only drinking. Let’s go!"
Chen Xuantian laughed heartily.
···
One day later.
In a secluded small town.
True Master Wuji had a complex expression, having distanced himself from the Black Lotus Holy Sect, now appearing here.
He glanced at the courtyard ahead, hesitated in his heart, but still walked over directly.
"Brother Wuji, how did it go? Chen Xuantian still won’t compromise?"
Inside the spacious courtyard, a calm and gentle laughter rang out.
Many figures had gathered, both n and won, of various appearances, all strong, all gathering here as heads of various noble families.
Leading them was a man with white hair and beard, a face full of wrinkles, wearing a purple-brown long robe, with a noble aura, smiling as he approached True Master Wuji.
He was called Kong Gaoyun.
He was the Fourth Elder of the Kong Family, possessing profound skills and much wisdom, always responsible for external communications.
"Chen Xuantian’s character is stubborn, as always, I failed to persuade him, feeling ashad of letting you down, Brother Kong, for your gifted treasure!"
True Master Wuji’s face was flushed with sha.
"Brother Wuji, you’re too polite. No matter what, you have tried your best. As long as you did your best, there’s no need to feel ashad."
Kong Gaoyun spoke, then looked at everyone, smiling, "You all heard, our Kong Family has already done our utmost duty. It’s their Black Lotus Holy Sect who are reckless, unusually obstinate, willing to oppose the world. They can’t bla us for taking action."
"What Elder Kong says is true. Jiang Shi has already killed so many of our noble families’ experts, long becoming a deadly enemy with us. Even if we don’t act, others will."
"That’s right, one ng Fang is already terrifying enough. We absolutely cannot let a second ng Fang appear!"
"That child ng Fang killed many elders of our Tangzhou Sun Family. We’ve long wished to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!"
···
One by one, the noble family experts next to them spoke up.
"Elder Kong, there’s sothing I don’t know if I should say?"
Suddenly, an exceptionally burly man, his face changing, couldn’t help but speak.
His arms were large, his skin dark, his body like an iron tower, with circles of red iron rings on the skin of his arms.
This was the Sect Leader of the Iron Wire Sect in Qingzhou, at the third level of the Blood Exchange.
"Speak!"
Kong Gaoyun said calmly.
"I’ve heard that the Black Lotus Sect Leader Chen Xuantian possesses terrifying strength, unfathomable, possibly already reaching Great Success in the Blood Exchange. If we recklessly take action, with our strength, I’m afraid... I’m afraid it would be like hitting a stone with an egg..."
The Iron Wire Sect Leader said.
Other heirs of noble families around him also changed their expressions accordingly, looking around, quickly regaining their composure.
Indeed! The experts gathered today are sowhat sparse.
Moreover, they are all experts from small to dium-sized noble families. Either they have very few Blood Exchange realm experts within their families, or there’s a gap in expert succession.
Even though there is a presence of the Fifth Realm in Blood Exchange, they are essentially the sole heir of their own sect. Once they die, their sect will quickly decline and be devoured by others.
For them to deal with the Black Lotus Holy Sect, is the Kong Family joking?
"Elder Kong, why don’t we see the great powers like Longxi Zhang, Celestial Sword Sect, and Cyan Robe Tower? If they were to help, things should be much simpler, besides these three also have grudges with Jiang Shi, there’s no reason for them not to co."
A woman beside couldn’t help but speak.
She was also from a dium-sized power, called Peacock Sect, the Sect Leader Shan Tingfang.
Upon receiving the ssage from the Kong Family, she ca rushing without a second thought, assuming that with the Quzhou Kong Family taking the lead, countless experts would be gathered here.
She thought that she could blend in with the experts, avoiding any danger, and taking the opportunity to loot from the Black Lotus Holy Sect, even using this to make friendly ties with the Kong Family, a strategy achieving three goals with one stone.
But she never expected, upon arriving, to find that everyone around her was from dium to small noble families or hidden sects.
This inevitably made her uneasy and extrely anxious.
