Unlike the lively atmosphere on the left side of the auditorium where everyone was waiting to see Shen Hao, the right side of the auditorium seemed more subtle, even extremely polarizing and confrontational.
Famous casual cultivators and those low-ranking sect leaders who were called up temporarily belonged to the same circle. They looked at the fighting scene on the ring below with smiles, and whispered from time to time. Sometimes they would also discuss who had a better chance of winning in the ring. Da expressed some of his own opinions and completely entered a normal state of observing the ceremony. Of course, they sat in the corner, deliberately not looking at the sullen faces of the others around them.
The person with a sullen face was none other than the representatives of the first- and second-rate sects who came to participate in the sword trial meeting, as well as some representatives of the third-rate sects. Each of these people looked solemn at this time.
None of the eleven first-class sects sent their own sect leaders, which had never happened before. In the past, whether it was a sword trial meeting or a book tasting meeting, the sect leaders of the first-class sects would come in person unless they had really important matters and couldn't get away. This was to give face to the two super sects.
But this time, none of the eleven first-class sects will be given the tacit choice. This is actually an obvious statement of attitude to the two super sects.
Although the sect masters of the eleven first-class sects did not come, those who came were the elders of their respective sects who were second only to the sect masters and had considerable powers of disposal. They all came here with the same and different purposes. .
The same purpose is that these eleven first-class sects are very dissatisfied with the actions of Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect against the "incorporation" of lower-level sects. They hope that the two super sects can withdraw their "incorporation" actions. Cut off the three-way cooperation with the Jing Dynasty and re-consolidate the rules of the sect circle. No matter how bad the situation is, the right to "incorporate" needs to be equally distributed from the hands of the two super sects, so that they can also get a share of the pie. At the same time, they need to decide whether the underlying sects are "compliant" or not.
In other words, the purpose of the eleven first-class sects is: either to return to the past, or to regain the power over the lower-level sects in their own hands, instead of falling into the pockets of the two super sects. .
And this purpose is also recognized by the second- and third-rate sects, because compared to being controlled by the super sects, they would rather be controlled by the first-rate sects, because this can at least return to the previous state, the difference is just a little tighter. Just relax a little, it's far better than being pinned down by a super sect and unable to move.
These all have a common purpose, but they also have "different purposes". For example, everyone knows that the two super sects are not soft persimmons. If they gather some people to put pressure on them, will they just obey? What should I do if I insist on not changing? Then you need to think of a way out. For example, how can we reach a "consensus" with a super sect while ensuring that the interests of our own sect are not damaged as much as possible.
Of course, this will have to be discussed privately later, which is the second best option when the previous purpose cannot be achieved.
When Yang Wanli came to the auditorium on the right to say hello just now, the representatives of each sect were already making small moves in secret. Some had cold faces, some still raised their hands in salute, and some even exchanged pleasantries. Although the attitude was much colder than before, it was different from what they had discussed before they came.
I said before I came here that when I saw Yang Wanli, I would directly throw out their respective demands. I couldn't be soft, but what was the result? A few inferior sect leaders who should not have appeared on the viewing platform completely disrupted their plan, and even made them a little embarrassed among themselves.
Go according to the plan, and have the intention of not taking other people's lower-level sects seriously, which will definitely ruin their reputation extremely, it is like trying to cut off other people's wealth in front of them. You must know that destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents. If this word spreads, how can these sects continue to live in an upright manner? Once the backlash from the lower level sects is triggered, things will be very bad.
Indeed, the strength of the lower-level sects is beyond their reach, let alone the first-rate sects. The second- and third-rate sects combined can take care of the people at the bottom.
But that was in the past, but now that the super sect has joined in, things are completely different. Those low-level sects that could only be squeezed out now have an additional choice. So if things really break out, the situation will be completely ruined. This is definitely not what everyone wants to see.
So no matter what he thought in his heart, he could only bear not to have a showdown with the super sect in the presence of these low-level sects.
However, there is no place to vent the anger that is held in the heart, especially when listening to the so-called celebrities in the small sects and casual cultivators laughing and commenting on the competition in the arena, it makes these people who are feeling uncomfortable feel even more harsh. .
Everyone sitting in the adjacent seats exchanged glances, and then a message was uploaded from the viewing platform on the right. The elders in charge of sword discussions in each sect immediately made arrangements after receiving it.
Sword trial meeting? prize? In the past, these might have allowed the leaders of the various sects to enjoy themselves and watch the fun, but this time they had more important things to do, so accelerating the sword discussion appropriately would allow them to vent their grievances. a way.
"Eh? Why did Gu Yuege's people get on the ring? So early?"
"Not only Gu Yue Pavilion, look over there, people from Xiaoshui Villa are also on stage! What's going on with these sects? Why are you rushing up? Aren't you afraid of being cut off in the end?"
Several masters of casual cultivators on the left viewing platform exclaimed, but not many people agreed, because although the situation here is different from the situation on the right viewing platform, they are mainly masters of first, second, and third-rate sects. At that time, he had received the message from his team leader and knew what was going to happen next.
Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye were sitting next to Shen Hao. At this time, the two people's faces were not good-looking, but they were not too surprised. There was even a sneer on the corner of Xiang Liu's mouth. Since we can think of temporarily bringing the heads of several low-level sects to the viewing platform on the right, we can naturally think of the subsequent development. Moreover, in order to suppress these sects that are still unclear about the situation, both the Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan sects also put their attention on the sword-discussing arena.
The referees, venues, and organizers all belong to us, and you still want to cause trouble for me here? Funny or not? This is what Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye are thinking.
All of this was seen by Shen Hao, who was sitting on the chair and seemed to be unhappy about not being able to change seats before, and he also listened to the scattered comments around him. Although I couldn't think it through as quickly as the person involved, I could still guess that the sect below was about to take action, and the fun seemed to be about to begin.
Sure enough, Shen Hao took a closer look. In just a short time, all the active casual cultivators or disciples of small sects on the nine arenas had been driven away. The scene was stagnant, and there were no new ones. Go up and challenge. The small sects were waiting and watching but their abilities were limited, while the large sects seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding, and none of them made any move, as if they were waiting for something.
