Suddenly, an idea struck him, his eyes lighting up. He lifted his head and looked at Xie Qingyun, speaking with resolve, "I might have a suggestion..."
"Hmm?" Xie Qingyun looked at Lu Qingshan in surprise.
The reason he called Lu Qingshan to join this eting was rely because he felt that Lu Qingshan, as the Young Sect Leader, needed to be aware of certain matters and held so decision-making power.
But from beginning to end, Xie Qingyun never expected Lu Qingshan to offer any constructive opinions regarding the matters being discussed.
It’s not that he looked down on Lu Qingshan, it’s just that the matter at hand is far too significant, beyond the scope a Sixth Realm Cultivator could involve himself in.
The reactions of everyone present were similar to Xie Qingyun’s, even Xia Daoyun raised her fine eyebrows, surprised as she looked at her Chief Disciple, eyes shimring like spring water.
"Yun Pass needs a Sect Master, so does the Central Spirit Domain. The problem now is, the Sect Master cannot be in two places at once..." Lu Qingshan said unhurriedly, "In that case, why not let there be one more Sect Master?"
"Another ... How so?" Xie Qingyun frowned, looking at Lu Qingshan, awaiting his explanation.
There is only one Xie Qingyun.
But Lu Qingshan wouldn’t speak idly.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Lu Qingshan.
Of course, Lu Qingshan wouldn’t play gas in front of the Sect Master and several Peak Masters.
Without hesitation, he revealed the idea that had flashed through his mind in that fleeting mont, "The Sect Master’s might is well known to the Demon Race; even without taking action, it’s enough to deter them..."
Xie Qingyun nodded silently.
Indeed, throughout the entire twenty thousand years of Chang’an, he has taken action only a handful of tis.
In the past few thousand years, he hadn’t taken action once.
The existence of a Cultivator serving as guardian in the domain, in Lu Qingshan’s previous life, was akin to a nuclear weapon—one that need not be used, but must exist.
Lu Qingshan paused for a mont, looking at Xie Qingyun with a smile, "Creating a Sword Immortal out of thin air is difficult, but conjuring another Sect Master isn’t as hard..."
"....."
....
Monts later.
Lu Qingshan had shared his entire thought process.
The room fell silent, a pin could be heard dropping, as everyone was deep in thought, weighing the feasibility of Lu Qingshan’s proposal.
"Wouldn’t it be too risky?" Gu Qiu finally broke the silence, asking with a frown.
"It’s too bold..." Xue Wujian softly agreed.
The other four remained silent, still pondering.
After a prolonged silence, Xie Qingyun suddenly laughed, spreading his hands, "I personally think what Qingshan said is feasible."
"Don’t be quick to dismiss it."
Looking at everyone, Xie Qingyun smiled, "The battle for the Central Spirit Domain is unavoidable, and we’ve thought of no other options, so this sole feasible idea ought to be our current plan."
"Even if it is a bit risky."
"What we’re doing is fighting for the fate of the Human Race."
"How could there be any success without taking risks?"
"What do you say?" He asked the crowd.
Xia Daoyun pressed her lips together, suddenly raising her head, speaking clearly, "I also agree with what Qingshan said."
"Sect Master, are you confident?" Yu Canghai hesitated before speaking.
To reclaim the Central Spirit Domain, one must overco the Heart Demon Clan’s Soul Venerable and Yu Venerable, these two formidable obstacles.
In a one-on-one duel, Yu Canghai believes that among the vast Demon Race, none could surpass Xie Qingyun.
But the issue is, this is a war, a team battle, not a duel.
This ans Qingyun Sword Immortal must face two foes at once, each possessing combat power equal to the top Demon Lord.
Xie Qingyun shook his head and then nodded, "I might not win, but I certainly won’t lose."
A bit cryptic.
Yet the Sword Cultivators present understood.
"Then we’ll follow the Young Sect Leader’s suggestion," Yu Canghai decided firmly.
The remaining people all nodded.
The path forward was set.
