As the sun sets in the west, thousands of lights are lit in Lijia City.
Thick black clouds piled up in the sky, covering the light of the moon and stars.
In the night, a certain house in the Li family's ancestral land was brightly lit, with hundreds of warriors sitting around. The sounds of heated arguments could not even be blocked by the soundproof array and overflowed the courtyard walls.
"Is this what you think? Is this what you think? Erye, answer me?"
"Second Master, your actions are undoubtedly ruining the future of the Li family."
"I really didn't expect that the years have not improved the second master's cultivation, but have smoothed the edges of the second master. His attitude towards Xie Yue Sect has changed, which is disgusting."
"..."
"I'm not afraid of the Xie Yue Sect. Please don't misinterpret my meaning."
"I have never said from the beginning to the end that it is wrong for the Xie Yue Sect to use troops. We are talking about when is the best time to attack the Xie Yue Sect."
"Judging from the current situation, Xie Yue Sect has made complete preparations. If the Li family makes a desperate attempt, they will be massacred."
"It is really not a wise move to fight head-on with the Xie Yue Sect now."
"..."
"What the second master said is absolutely true."
"The second master is right, endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world."
"If we had a head-on conflict with the Xie Yue Sect at this moment, we would undoubtedly be defeated."
"..."
Everyone in the room seemed to be divided into two groups, arguing with each other.
The main war faction said that the Xie Yue Sect has invaded the territory with a large army, and the Li family has no choice but to fight.
The Zhuhe faction said that now is not a good time to fight the Xie Yue Sect. Firstly, the Li family is not ready yet, and secondly, Xie Yue Qianzhou is not at peace.
The father said that the father was right and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right, and the two factions started to argue with each other.
The head of the Li family, who was sitting in the upper position, had a splitting headache. He held his forehead and shook his head with helplessness on his face.
Tonight is the fifth meeting held by the top management of the Li family, and there is still no discussion on whether to fight the Xie Yue Sect or not.
The leader of the main fighting faction was the eldest elder of the Li family. He stood up suddenly, pointed at the second master of the Li family, and angrily said: "The second master is afraid of death, but my son and son of the Li family are not. Waiting for this battle, my Li family
Erlang is already looking forward to it."
"If the Xie Yue Sect is coming, just let him come. I, the son of the Li family, will never be afraid of them."
The second daughter of the Li family of the Lord Harmony Sect, dressed in a black robe, with long hair shawl, and a gloomy face, heard the words of the elder of the Li family and sneered disdainfully: "I am never afraid of death, I am just afraid of a worthless death."
"If this battle can make the Li family become the overlord of Xie Yue Qianzhou, I will not take a step back even if I risk my life."
"But if this war breaks out, not only will the Li family not become the overlord of Xie Yue Qianzhou, but it will also destroy the Li family's ten thousand-year-old foundation."
The second master of the Li family first refuted the words of the eldest elder of the Li family, and then said to the head of the Li family: "The head of the family must think twice. I cannot deny that the Li family does have the strength and foundation to compete with the Xie Yue Sect, but the head of the family must not
Don’t consider the other forces in Xie Yue Qianzhou.”
"Fengxue Villa, Zixia Sect, Guiyue Sect... they are looking at us eagerly, waiting for us to fight the Xie Yue Sect to the death."
"Even if the Li family uses all its resources to defeat the Xie Yue Sect, it will definitely be a tragic victory in the end."
"The Li family has depleted its foundation, and the Xie Yue Sect's vitality has been severely damaged. It is not our Li family that is benefiting at this moment, but the Fengxue Villa, Zixia Sect, Guiyue Sect and other sects that have been holding back."
"Master, if you think about it carefully, if the Li family and the Xie Yue Sect lose both sides, will Fengxue Villa take advantage of the situation, and will Zixia Sect and Guiyue Sect fish in troubled waters?"
"In my opinion...if they see that both the Li family and the Xie Yue Sect are harmed, they will immediately mobilize the strong men of the sect to massacre the Li family and the Xie Yue Sect in one fell swoop, and remove them from the land of Xie Yue Qianzhou."
The words of the second master of the Li family are all considered for the Li family, and are well-founded and convincing.
The eldest elder of the Li family raised his hands and said to the head of the family: "Family head, the powerful men of the Xie Yue Sect have entered the city. If the Li family retreats without a fight and cedes territory to survive, the reputation that our Li family has accumulated for thousands of years will become a laughing stock. In this way, compared with
It’s still uncomfortable to die.”
"The honor of the family does not tolerate the slightest provocation."
"The second master seems to be saving my Li family, but in fact he is the eternal sinner of the Li family!"
The second master of the Li family retorted: "Pedantic old man, you are the eternal sinner of the Li family. The family is gone, and glory is of no use."
The eldest elder of the Li family was trembling with anger and pointed at the second master: "If you want to harm the Li family, you are the sinner of the Li family!"
The peace faction, headed by the second master of the Li family, and the war faction, headed by the eldest elder of the Li family, had a fierce quarrel in the house, and the scene was once chaotic and chaotic.
"alright!"
"Shut up!"
The head of the Li family sat silently on the main seat for a long time. Seeing that he could not control the situation, he shouted and scolded the two sides for their quarrel.
The second master of the Li family and the eldest elder of the Li family sat down and looked at each other with unkind and angry eyes.
When the audience calmed down, the head of the Li family took a deep breath, looked at the eldest elder of the Li family with tired eyes, and said: "The words of the second master have a certain truth, even if the Li family puts forward all the information and confronts the Xie Yue Sect.
Fighting, but the final result can only be losses for both sides."
"The Xie Yue Sect cannot destroy millions of members of the Li family, and the Li family cannot destroy the ten thousand-year-old orthodoxy of the Xie Yue Sect."
"The only ones who will benefit in the end are Fengxue Villa, Zixia Sect, Guiyue Sect and other young people."
Hearing that the head of the family was on his side, the second master of the Li family was overjoyed: "The head of the house is wise."
The eldest elder of the Li family hesitated to speak, but the head of the family had already spoken, so he could not continue to say more.
"But..." The head of the Li family looked at the second master of the Li family again, with a sinister look in his eyes: "What the great elder said is indeed true. The evil moon sect is oppressing the family. If the Li family gives in, step back, step by step,
The reputation and momentum accumulated by the Li family over the years will be shattered."
The eyes of the eldest elder of the Li family lit up and he said excitedly: "The master of the family is a saint!"
The second master of the Li family snorted coldly and stood up: "Then what do you think the Li family should make now?"
"Is it war? Is it peace?"
The head of the Li family had a splitting headache, holding his forehead and shaking his head: "This decision is extremely important to the Li family. This decision is likely to determine the future of the Li family..."
The eldest elder of the Li family shouted anxiously: "The strong men of Xie Yue Sect are pouring into the city day by day. If nothing happens, they will take action within three to five days. I also ask the head of the family to make a decision as soon as possible so that the clan can prepare in advance.
"
The eyes of all the senior officials of the Li family were focused on the head of the Li family, waiting with bated breath for his decision.
Just like that, there was a dead silence in the room for half an hour, and you could hear a needle drop.
If this choice were easy to make, the top management of the Li family wouldn't have been arguing for three to five days with no result.
In the war, both the Li family and the Xieyue Sect may suffer losses.
And, the clan momentum and prestige accumulated by the Li family will be gone.
In fact, the head of the Li family knew in his heart that no matter what choice he made, the Li family was destined to decline.
It's just that the head of the Li family couldn't bear to see the family fortune accumulated by his ancestors decline in his own hands, so he thought hard and came up with a way to survive.
"Then... fight!"
The head of the Li family took a deep breath and made a firm decision!
After hearing the decision of the head of the Li family, the main fighting faction, headed by the great elder, were all eager to try, gearing up, and excited.
The Zhuhe faction, headed by the second master of the Li family, seemed to have been drained of life in an instant. Their bodies went limp and they slumped on their chairs.
