"Taking the initiative means that we are going to that secret realm."
"But don't forget, that is the secret realm that has trapped the top ten golden elixir masters."
"If we do this, what's the difference between us and ourselves falling into a trap and feeding the tiger with meat?"
"It will not only harm my own life, but also the lives of thousands of disciples. I will not agree to this!"
Before the elder of Yuxu Sect could refute, the elder of Fengqing Sect sneered;
"If you don't take the initiative, what are you going to do?"
"Just sit here and wait for the Xu family to control the nine golden elixirs and then kill them?"
"That's sitting back and waiting for death! That's inappropriate!"
The great elder of Chitian Sect also took over and said;
"I also think it makes sense. While the Xu family has not fully controlled the nine golden elixir cultivators, if they can find a way to break into the secret realm and rescue a few golden elixirs, the chance of winning will be greater."
The great elder of Danxia Sect nodded in agreement;
"Yes, we have calculated it before."
"With our current combined strength, there is no way we can withstand the nine golden elixirs...even the nine golden elixirs that are not at the peak of their cultivation."
"Only by taking the initiative and fighting hard to save a few golden elixirs can we gain a chance of survival."
Normally, the four sects of the Eastern sect would not fight each other very hard, but when it comes to such a critical moment, they are still quite united.
Of course...it cannot be ruled out that the great elders of the four eastern sects all dislike Elder Liang of the Shenyi Sect.
Because in the past few days, Elder Liang of the Shenyi Sect has been the most aggressive in his "offensive" against Elder Chun, and even dared to call "Chun Niang" directly in front of his face.
This move really angered the great elders of the four eastern sects.
Even the Great Elder of Piaomiao Palace and the Great Elder of Shenxuguan of the Western Sect were secretly unhappy.
It can be seen from the fact that Elder Liang was targeted and the two of them did not help to speak.
Moreover, the strategic policy of taking the initiative does make some sense.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the cubs. If you don't take the risk, try to save a few golden elixirs and balance your strength.
The current combined army of the Eight Immortal Sects alone, no matter how you calculate it, will not be a match for the Xu family's one golden elixir distant ancestor and nine golden elixir puppets.
But Elder Liang of Shenyimen was still a little unwilling and worried, and argued;
"Who says we have no advantage if we plan and act later?"
"What my Shenyi Sect is best at is planning and formations. As long as our eight-sect combined army can form a large formation, we will be able to fight!"
"Especially when we, the Half-Step Jindan, serve as the formation's eyes and have nearly 10,000 disciples transmitting Qi to us from behind, we are enough to fight against the Jindan who cannot exert his peak strength!"
"At that time, we were planning carefully, maybe we could turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory..."
However, it was Elder Chun who interrupted the Shenyi Sect’s elder this time;
"Elder Liang, I understand what you are thinking."
"Use retreat to advance and act according to the opportunity. In many cases, this is indeed a very sound strategy."
"But the current situation is that we still don't know what the Xu family's real goal is."
"Is it our eight immortal sects? Or is it a place of immortal fate? Or is it the thousands of creatures in Jiangnan Prefecture?"
"In short, all the premeditations of the Xu family will not be without reason."
"Judging from what the Xu family is doing now, they are extremely thirsty for power, and the next plot is probably the same."
"If the Xu family's goal is to covet the secrets of our eight immortal sects, then it's okay to say that we can also do it according to the method you said, Elder Liang."
"Concentrate all the information of the eight gates in one place, use defense as offense, and combine it with strategies and formations. Our winning rate will be about 50%."
"but……"
After a pause, Elder Chun said in a more serious tone;
"What if the Xu family's goal is not our Eight Immortal Sects?"
"Maybe they have found a place of immortality and want to use nine golden elixir puppets as cannon fodder to steal the immortality."
"It's also possible that they have mastered some kind of evil method and can exchange the lives of thousands of creatures in Jiangnan Province for power."
"Especially the latter one. The master of our palace once said that this is extremely possible."
"Because a young cultivator who inadvertently helped her said that the Xu family's conspiracy was not just as simple as manipulating the nine golden elixirs into puppets."
"There are many other arrangements, many of which exchange the lives of various creatures for power."
"For example, indiscriminately killing spiritual beasts to refine demon-transforming pills, absorbing people's yang energy to raise vicious beasts like Yang dragons, using Yin-gathering pills to turn people into zombies, etc..."
Speaking of this, the Great Elder of Yuxu Sect had the right to speak again and intervened;
"I can also prove this. That little cultivator is my Yuxu Sect disciple, and his surname is Wang."
Elder Chun did not respond to the elder of Yuxu Sect who had a "please praise" expression on his face, and continued;
"Once the Xu family's plot is not about our Eight Immortal Sects' secrets, or the next actions are not aimed at our Eight Immortal Sects."
"What countermeasures should we take then? If we take the initiative again, will it be too late or even more dangerous?"
"And the most important point is, do our eight great sects really want to be like the pedantic old times, only knowing how to keep to ourselves and sweep away the snow in front of each other?"
"If it's still like that, what's the point of our union?"
The great elder of Shenyi Sect whispered;
"This time we are truly united. How can we be alone again..."
Elder Chun stared at him with beautiful eyes and said word by word;
"Elder Liang, it seems you still don't understand what I mean."
"The eight immortal sects want to unite, not only the eight immortal sects, but also the thousands of creatures in the entire Jiangnan Prefecture."
"What if the Xu family's true intention is to exchange the lives of thousands of creatures in Jiangnan Prefecture for power."
"Are we just going to watch them helplessly destroy all life in Jiangnan Continent?"
"If you really do that, it's not just to take care of yourself and sweep the snow in front of each other, so what is it?"
"When the Xu family is so powerful that we can't deal with it, what's the point of us still huddled in one place?"
Elder Liang of Shenyi Sect stopped talking, but Elder Shen Xuguan quietly asked a question;
"Is the Xu family really so crazy? Well... I'm not against taking the initiative, I'm just asking."
"After all, Jiangnan Prefecture can be regarded as the territory of the Dingzhou Dynasty, and the head of the Xu family is the prefect of Jiangnan Prefecture, who was personally appointed by the emperor."
"Ordinarily, the Xu family shouldn't protect Jiangnan Prefecture's safety, so how could it..."
The great elder of Feng Qing Sect sneered;
"Great Elder Shenxuguan, you have really been out of touch with worldly affairs for too long, and you don't understand the current situation very well."
"In recent years, the imperial power of the Dingzhou Dynasty has gradually weakened, and Jiangnan Prefecture is a remote place among the twelve prefectures."
"The Xu family is now like the local emperor in Jiangnan Prefecture. In addition to being afraid of us immortal sects, there are also some powerful immortal cultivating families."
"Ordinary people have already regarded it as if it were an open door."
"If the lives of thousands of creatures can be exchanged for power, the Xu family may really be able to do it..."
