"Congratulations, you have stepped into a position that others cannot achieve in their lifetime." Several elders also congratulated one after another.
"If Elder Tang needs help in the future, just ask. As colleagues, we have an obligation to help each other."
When Tang Ming saw this, he responded politely, "Everyone, we are here for the common people in the world. There is no need to be polite. Please come to my Xuantian Peak as a guest when you have time."
"I will be a guest someday."
After a few words of greetings and greetings, he returned to the topic again.
"The next step is the attitude towards the rampant demonic ways. What do you think, council elders?"
Fu Santong took out a letter, "This is a joint letter from those demon masters. They want peace talks. As long as we don't interfere, they will give up all dynasty control around the martial arts holy land."
"Tell me what you think."
As the words fell, the meeting hall fell into deathly silence.
No one spoke because no one wanted to take all the responsibility on themselves.
"Why aren't you talking?" Fu Santong looked around at everyone, trying to get the answer from Tang Ming's eyes.
It's just that many elders lowered their heads one after another and refused to look at each other. Once the first person speaks, there will be a herd mentality, and many people will choose to follow the first one one after another.
Therefore, this is the reason why no one dares to say anything.
Seeing that he could not get an answer, Fu Santong turned his attention to Tang Ming, "You have just come back from the battlefield. You must have experienced the insidiousness and cunning of the devil. From a personal perspective, will you choose to fight?"
The remaining eyes were also turned to Tang Ming, and they all wanted to know what the newly promoted elder would say.
Facing the pressure of countless gazes, Ye Yuntian on the side was a little unhappy, "Hey, why should Tang Ming say, why are you elders unwilling to shoulder this responsibility?"
After hearing what the Holy Son said, many elders also looked ashamed.
"We...not only represent our own words, but behind them are the lives of countless family disciples. Therefore, if we really have to make a choice, peace talks may be the best choice."
Behind these elders are the support of countless families, so they cannot rely on their own consciousness to represent their opinions. They need to vote by the families behind them to decide whether to fight.
Because choosing war in a battle is not just a matter for one sect in the Holy Land of Martial Arts.
The forces of the branches and the families they represent have to go to war, so the elders who are resident in the meeting hall will hesitate.
If the war continues, the lives of countless families will be at stake. They cannot achieve this position without the support of their families. If all the heirs of the family die on the battlefield, even the elder seat will be lost.
"What about you?" Tang Ming looked at the other elders.
But at this moment, no one spoke.
The strange silence made the surrounding air feel cold.
"It seems the answer is obvious." Tang Ming smiled bitterly.
The elders could not make decisions easily. Fu Santong always wanted to fight the devil to the death. Without the support of these elders, it would be difficult to send troops.
"Now that we have the answer, this meeting will end here." Fu Santong sighed heavily, with mostly helplessness in his tone.
After the words fell, many elders also left one after another.
Ye Yuntian looked at these elders leaving in a hurry, his face was livid with anger, "Cowards!"
Even if he cursed, he couldn't calm down the anger in his heart.
"A real man has things to do and things he doesn't do. Why did you join the Holy Land of Martial Arts in the first place if you are so afraid of death!"
Fu Santong coughed slightly and said, "Okay, stop cursing and don't hurt your own people."
Most of the disciples in the Martial Arts Holy Land have a clan relationship. Although they all belong to the same sect, they are all disciples of a family faction. If the leaders of the disciples are unwilling to fight, it will be difficult to have cohesion.
"They also have their own difficulties. They can't watch their nephews and grandnephews die on the battlefield. This incident of white-haired people sending black-haired people has happened many times. These elders just don't want to continue to witness such things happen."
"Are we going to let those innocent people with white hair give away people with black hair? Or is it that the lives of us monks are more noble than the lives of ordinary people!" Ye Yuntian was puzzled, and it was even more difficult to accept it in his heart.
As human beings, why can't they do what they can? Most of the controlled dynasties will end up corrupt, and there will be countless fleeing refugees, and scenes of people exchanging children for food will often happen.
But we clearly have the ability to prevent these tragedies from happening, so why do we choose to turn a blind eye?
"Ye Yuntian, pay attention to your identity. You are the holy son of the Holy Land of Martial Arts. You must consider the sect's position at all times. Everyone has his own destiny. Cause and effect are difficult to understand. We can only follow the trend."
"What's more..." At this point, Fu Santong's face became more haggard.
"In the past, we were at odds with Canglan Holy Land and Sword Dao Holy Land and could help each other. Now, Canglan Holy Land is almost completely destroyed, and Sword Dao Holy Land has colluded with the devil. It can be said that our current situation has become A state of isolation.”
There are only three holy places near the entire eastern region, namely the Martial Arts Holy Land to the south of the east, the Sword Dao Holy Land to the north of the east, and the Canglan Holy Land between the two.
Originally, the three holy places were in harmony, and the demons did not dare to be too presumptuous, and could only make small moves in secret.
Looking back now, the Canglan Holy Land exists in name only, the Swordsman Holy Land has suffered heavy losses, and only the Martial Arts Holy Land still maintains its only combat power. Otherwise, those demonic forces that once lived in the darkness would not have the courage to jointly write a letter hoping for peace.
Rather than asking for peace, it is better to say to persuade them to surrender, because many roads are controlled by the devil, and it is difficult to spread the news. I am afraid that in the other four holy places, I don't even know what is happening now.
"Now do you know why these old guys want peace talks?" Fu Santong said with a little helplessness.
When Ye Yuntian heard this, he could only lower his head and said nothing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was starting to get a little gloomy, Tang Ming immediately said: "We are not all militants. The choice is in everyone's hands. Why should we worry here? If we really need to fight to protect the family behind us, I think every martial arts disciple will join without hesitation."
These words also made the two of them feel a lot calmer, because they were true. War is not a personal issue.
"Instead of talking too much here, it is better to ask our disciples what they think and see what they think."
After leaving these words, Tang Ming walked straight out of the meeting room.
"Wait a minute, there are so many disciples, how can we ask?" Ye Yuntian also hurriedly followed out.
