After all, Master Tongxuan was cunning, so he took advantage of the situation and said sternly: "Master Wanli, stop talking nonsense! The Jiuli Tribe and Bei Pluto are well prepared. Even if they gather all the power in Jiuhua Mountain, it will be difficult to defeat them in one fell swoop." It’s just wishful thinking! Even if you want to take them down in one fell swoop, as I just said, you have to take a long-term approach to ensure nothing goes wrong!”
After Wan Li Qingtian said yes, he quickly sat back on his chair, not daring to say another word, lest he said the wrong thing and there would be no possibility of remedying it.
Fortunately, Master Puru was calm and was not moved by Wanli Qingtian's few words: "What the Master of Tongxuan Ruins said is absolutely true. We really need to take a long-term approach. I thought about it just now and felt that there are only two options to deal with this matter. . One is, as the leader of Tongxuan Ruins said, he first pretended to be deceived and lured the Jiuli tribe and Bei Pluto into the trap. However, this move is too dangerous and will inevitably cause losses to the members of each sect."
"The second one is to take down the spies of various factions in advance, and then gather the troops and guard them outside Jiuhua Mountain to let them know that the matter has been exposed and retreat on their own. I don't know what you think?"
Master Puru's method of dealing with the situation, which is based on one's advance and retreat with one article and one with force, is indeed the only two methods now. After he finished speaking, the seven heads immediately began to whisper, discussing which method should be used. Only Xi Yangzi remained silent and watched their argument with cold eyes.
Among the remaining seven factions, Master Tianyang tried his best to use the second method and was unwilling to fight with the two parties. After all, the Dao Discussion Conference was reported in Jiuhua Mountain. Once a scuffle breaks out, Jiuhua Mountain will undoubtedly be the most injured.
The leader of the Emei Sect Wu Ming, who had always been on good terms with Jiuhua Mountain, remained silent in a rare moment and watched the people arguing with cold eyes. Logically speaking, she should care for Jiuhua and support Master Tianyang's suggestions. Now it seems that even if she knows that Mu Jingyu was framed, Master Wuming is still worried about him sneaking into Mount Emei and stealing Tianxiang wood. Maybe he was also dissatisfied with Master Tianyang for shielding Mu Jingyu.
Only Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan knew that Master Wuming not only hated him and the Jiuhua Sect because of this incident, but the most important thing was that Mu Jingyu released Di Nanxun and helped Suci escape from Baozhai Temple. .
One of these two people is her illegitimate son, and the other knows the whole story. If it is publicized in a big way, Master Wuming will immediately fall into a place of eternal disaster!
Therefore, they naturally had a bad look towards Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan, who had caused all these consequences, as well as Jiuhuashan, who had come forward to protect them. Only now that they discovered that this scandal had not been publicized, Master Wuming did not take action for the time being.
As for the remaining five sects, Shangguan Xixi, the master of Jinxiu Palace, also agreed with Tianyang Zhenren's suggestion and advocated shocking the Jiuli tribe and Bei Pingwang to avoid further killings. The reason was of course that time was in a hurry and each faction was poorly prepared. If the two parties insist on encircling and killing them, the casualties of each faction will be incalculable.
As for Lingxiao Pavilion, it doesn't matter. It's just that they have been fighting with Guiyuan Villa for hundreds of years, and the hatred between the two sides cannot be resolved in a few words. Since Wan Li Qingtian strongly advocates the first method, he will naturally oppose it with all his strength.
However, under the leadership of Wujixu, the Wuzhuangguan and Guiyuan Villa factions naturally became much more powerful. The situation with Jiuhua Sect, Jinxiu Palace and Lingxiao Pavilion has become tit-for-tat, and no one can convince anyone.
Seeing that there would be no results if the argument continued, Master Puru had no choice but to step forward and stop the argument between the two parties: "Amitabha, Xi Yangzi, Master Wuming, I see that you two are silent, I wonder if you have any concerns. ? Or do you have a better idea?"
Master Wuming took the lead and said: "Master, I feel that both methods have merits and dangers. I don't know how to choose for a while, so I just want to hear what you have to say before making a decision. Of course, I, the Emei Sect We, the Emei sect, will definitely cooperate with us as long as everyone can reach a consensus."
Xi Yangzi nodded slightly and said: "I, the Yukun Palace, and the Emei Sect have the same idea, and we will act based on your opinions."
"Well, the Master of Tongxuan Ruins just expressed his opinion, then we might as well listen to the opinions of Master Tianyang, Master Shangguan Palace and Master Ling Pavilion."
Just as Master Tianyang was about to stand up and speak, he saw Shangguan Xixi standing up first: "I expected that the head of Tianyang and the master of Ling Pavilion, like me, knew that with the current power in Jiuhua Mountain, they would not be able to suppress it with all their strength. The Jiuli Tribe and Bei Pluto came prepared. If the war started, a fierce battle would inevitably occur. Even if they could barely win, the losses would be negligible! Therefore, I tried my best to prevent Qing Kai from starting the war. I just didn’t know, through Why is Master Xuanxu so sure that he can suppress the Jiuli Tribe and Bei Pluto without causing too many casualties?"
After listening to this, Master Tianyang nodded slowly, expressing his agreement with Shangguan Xixi's concerns. Then he sat down again and looked at Master Tongxuan with the other people to see what he said.
Master Tongxuan was thinking about how to lead the matter to this point, when Shangguan Xixi asked a question. Wasn't it just right? Immediately said: "The master of Shangguan Palace has considered that with only the disciples of various sects in Jiuhua Mountain, even if he can capture the spies first and set a trap to lure the Jiuli tribe and Bei Ping Wang in, there is no way he can do it without suffering too much damage. Take them down if there are casualties. But..."
After Master Tongxuan finished speaking, he deliberately paused to attract everyone's attention, and then chuckled: "But I'm afraid you have forgotten that there are still four days until the Tao Discussion Conference is held! As long as we pass on the message now The elites of the various factions who stayed behind dared to hide at the junction of Junling Mizhou, Zhongyu Shengzhou and Qin Mulingzhou."
"Then he pretends to have fallen into the trap, and once he attracts the elites led by the Jiuli Tribe and Bei Pluto to attack, he immediately surrounds them and kills them. Why worry about not succeeding?"
After Master Tongxuan finished speaking, he seemed to be looking at everyone calmly, but in fact he was panting in his heart, fearing that someone would notice something strange and try his best to stop him. Even Zhen Lingzi and Wan Li Qingtian were holding their breath and concentrating, secretly nervous.
Before anyone could speak, Mu Jingyu couldn't help it anymore and said indifferently: "Senior Tongxuan's strategy seems feasible, but in fact there are many variables in it. We know very little about the details of the Jiuli tribe, who knows? It’s unknown how many people in the innate realm are hiding in it? Moreover, Bei Pluto’s cultivation has reached the realm of immortality, and no one can cure him except Master Wu! What’s more, there are still many spies hidden in each sect that have not been exposed.”
"Once the senior experts of each faction left behind are dispatched, aren't you afraid that they will know their whereabouts in advance? And, the most important thing is... each faction does not have these seniors in charge, what if Han Wenyuan learns about it? Why not give up the siege of Jiuhua Mountain and instead attack the other factions?"
What Mu Jingyu said immediately alerted Master Puru and others, secretly saying that what he said was right! If it was just that Han Wenyuan found out the information, if he turned to sneak attacks on various factions as Mu Jingyu expected, the consequences would be really unpredictable!
The Nine sects have been able to stand in Jiuzhou for thousands of years, not only because of the outstanding disciples, but also the greatest reliance and foundation are the skills, immortal treasures, genius treasures and other things accumulated by the sect over thousands of years. This is not only their reliance, but also their biggest bottom line!
Zhen Lingzi and Wan Li Qingtian's expressions changed slightly, and they both turned to look at Master Tongxuan. Seeing that his expression remained normal, he seemed to have a way to deal with it, and then he slowly returned to normal.
"Hahaha, what Shaoxia Mu said, how could this market leader not think of it?" Master Tongxuan laughed, but in fact he was thinking quickly about what to do, so he had to use this long laugh to delay time.
Mu Jingyu squinted at Master Tongxuan and said, "Master Tongxuan has thought of it a long time ago? Then what should you, old man... do?"
In just a moment, Master Tongxuan thought of a countermeasure and said loudly: "Young Master Mu must have misinterpreted my meaning. As I said before, let the elites of each faction gather in Zhongyu Shengzhou and Qin Mulingzhou. , of course we have to leave some troops to defend. Moreover, the various factions are not far from each other, so they can definitely keep watch and help each other!"
"As for Mu Shaoxia's delay in leaking the news, the elite we are going to send are all seniors such as masters and uncles from various sects. Is it possible that Han Wenyuan's ability is great enough to win over these seniors? Moreover, I believe it Each of the sects has mythical beasts that can travel thousands of miles in a day. As soon as the war begins, they can immediately rush to the rescue of Jiuhua Mountain. Even if there are spies from the Han family among them, can they deliver the news in a short time?"
Wan Li Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief and echoed: "What the market leader said is absolutely true. I, Wan Li Qingtian, think it is completely feasible. If we cannot take the opportunity to win over the Jiuli tribe and Bei Pluto today, the losses will be real if war breaks out in the future." It’s immeasurable!”
At this moment, Master Puru, Xi Yangzi, Master Tianyang and Master Wuming all nodded in agreement. When Ling Zhongtian saw that the five sect leaders had reached an agreement, it was no longer necessary to insist on it. He tacitly agreed that he had agreed, and only Shangguan Xixi remained silent.
Master Tongxuan knows that he has finally convinced most of the people, and there is only one Shangguan Xixi left. As long as he works harder, he may still be afraid!
"Why, does Lord Shangguan Palace have any concerns?"
Shangguan Xixi actually didn't know what she was caring about. I just vaguely felt that Master Tongxuan had tried his best to encourage various factions to agree to take the opportunity to surround and kill the Jiuli tribe and Bei Pluto, as if he had ulterior motives. But after thinking about it for a while, I couldn't think of a reason.
Then he slowly said: "Since everyone has agreed, then naturally our Jinxiu Palace will not be alone and ignore others who share the same path."
Seeing that the matter was about to be finalized, Mu Jingyu couldn't help but said: "Seniors, do you really want to agree to do this? I still feel that it is not too late to discuss it again!"
Qin Yunchuan also said: "Master Grandpa, Yunchuan also thinks that Jingyu's words are right. There are still four days before the Tao Discussion Conference starts, so there is no rush to decide on a countermeasure!"
Master Tongxuan snorted coldly: "Humph! Qin Yunchuan, you also know that there are only four days left. If we can't decide on a countermeasure today, is there still time to arrange it?"
"Or, you have ulterior motives. You are really a member of the Jiuli tribe. You deliberately leaked information to us and cooperated with Han Wenyuan to hide his intentions! You are watching the righteous factions have no countermeasures and are surrounded and killed by the Jiuli tribe and Bei Pluto. , and then bring tens of thousands of casual cultivators in the world, with a mantis stalking the cicada and an oriole behind!"
With this big hat off, even Mu Jingyu didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that if he continued to stop him, it would really arouse suspicion.
Master Puru said in a deep voice: "Okay, since this matter has been settled, there is no need for you to continue arguing. It is better to follow what the master of Tongxuan Ruins said, and immediately send a letter back to the sect, while informing the elders of the sect to come out. Pass, rush to Zhongyu and Lingzhou and wait for orders. At the same time, notify the disciples to be ready to assemble and be ready to rush to Jiuhua Mountain at any time!"
After saying that, the leaders of each faction discussed the specific details, and then left Fenghua Hall to deal with these matters.
It's just that Master Wuming, the head of Mount Emei, returned to Jinyuan Peak alone after leaving Fenghua Hall. After seeing no one around, he opened the door and walked into his quiet room.
And in the quiet room filled with smoke, there was actually an old man sitting. But he was facing the wall and his back was to Master Wuming, so he couldn't tell who he was.
"You're back? How was your discussion in Fenghua Palace?"
Master Wuming's eyes were instantly filled with frost, and he said bitterly: "Huh, what else can we do! Of course, as you said, all parties have reached an agreement to send the elders in the sect to surround us inside and outside to kill the nine. The Li tribe and Bei Pluto."
The old man chuckled and said: "Hehehe, it seems that you don't want to do this, Wuming?"
"That's not the case." Master Wuming said, "I'm just unhappy because Mu Jingyu has been cleared of suspicion!"
