"Ancestor, do we really not care about them? If we suffer heavy casualties, the Thousand Mountain Sword Sect will really lose the ability to resist Donglin Academy. At that time, if Immortal Dong Cang leads this group of Individual Cultivators to make trouble again, we will be in an even more passive position!
I didn't think so much before. I just thought that as long as we were united, there should be no problem. But now, it's obvious that the situation doesn't allow it. These people seem to only care about their own interests. They have never thought that if there are super experts in the Untainted World, we will really be delivering food to them! "
Luo Xiu asked curiously as he followed Shangguan Tianqiong to his residence, which was located in the core area of the Thousand Mountain Sword Sect.
It couldn't be helped. To the current Luo Xiu, no matter how big his heart was, it was impossible for him to sit idly by and watch Shangguan Tianqiong continue acting willfully. This would cause all his plans to fail completely!
Because at this time, Luo Xiu understood that Shangguan Tianqiong really wanted to stake all the strength of the entire Thousand Mountain Sword Sect on this one throw.
At the same time, Luo Xiu knew that this Descending War was 100% doomed to fail. Of course, he would try his best to stop Shangguan Tianqiong from courting death. Before this kind of situation happened, no one knew who was right and who was wrong. But this was only true for others. In the face of this situation, others might hesitate, but Luo Xiu was 100% sure that these people could not get what they wanted from the Untainted World and obtain enough benefits!
Of course, he would try his best to stop this from happening.
At the very least, he had to minimize his losses. Therefore, it had to be said that Luo Xiu wanted to drag those fellows from the Xiao Clan into the situation, which was his true goal. If both sides lost enough strength, it would only make the strength of both sides equal again, and it would be insignificant to the overall situation.
But if the Shangguan Clan suffered heavy losses while the Xiao Clan was safe and sound, what would happen?
Luo Xiu knew this even if he used his butt to think. Therefore, he had to do his best to prevent all of this from happening.
"I've told you that everything is under control. You don't have to worry about it. Actually, some things are not as complicated as you think. As long as the Old Man's strength is still there, everything will be fine. With the Old Man's strength, as long as nothing happens to me, nothing will happen. What you're worried about will not happen!"
Shangguan Tianqiong glanced at Luo Xiu. At this moment, Shangguan Tianqiong was no longer as angry as he was in the meeting hall. The expression on his face had also returned to calmness, as if nothing had happened. It was as if he had stayed out of the matter and watched what had just happened.
"Ancestor, from the looks of it, you really don't seem to be worried about this at all. But have you ever thought about who can bear the consequences if something goes wrong?
Moreover, the Xiao Clan has always been hostile to our Shangguan Clan. All these years, we have been suppressing them. If we suffer heavy losses this time while the Xiao Clan retains its full strength, what will happen?
I think Ancestor should know this better than me. Therefore, at this time, we must maintain a certain amount of resistance. Otherwise, a great terror will descend! "Seeing that Shangguan Tianqiong was indifferent, Luo Xiu was a little anxious and continued to speak.
This was because he knew better than anyone that this was almost certain to happen. Just the existence of the Myriad Demons Hall was enough to make these people's hopes dashed. When he thought of the group of lunatics from the Myriad Demons Hall and their reactions after knowing the existence of these powerful people, Luo Xiu felt a sense of horror just by thinking about it.
If those guys from the Myriad Demons Hall could really devour all the one million Dao soldiers sent by the Thousand Mountain Sword Sect, the overall strength of the Myriad Demons Hall would increase by leaps and bounds. For the Myriad Demons Hall, a huge amount of Qi and blood was simply a natural cultivation resource. If all the people in the Myriad Demons Hall knew that there was a place where they could devour people with huge amounts of Qi and blood without any scruples, Luo Xiu didn't dare to imagine what kind of terrible things these lunatics would do. Looking at the unusually calm Shangguan Tianqiong in front of him, Luo Xiu really felt helpless in his heart.
Under such circumstances, if he were to say that he could stand here calmly and discuss these trivial matters with Shangguan Tianqiong, even Luo Xiu himself would admire his self-control. However, there was no other way. Shangguan Tianqiong's self-confidence had already broken through the sky. It seemed that this old fellow had not considered the consequences of failure at all.
As he had said before, if the Shangguan Clan didn't want to decline after reaching the peak of prosperity, they could only succeed in this Descending Battle. Thinking of his crazy reaction when he heard Shangguan Tianqiong's words, Luo Xiu knew that the chances of him successfully persuading Shangguan Tianqiong were very slim!
In fact, the reason why Luo Xiu said so was that he was unwilling to accept it. Because he had finally obtained the powerful background of the Thousand Mountain Sword Sect, he was confident and had a backer. Of course, he didn't want to be deprived of the power that he had obtained with great difficulty. This was one of the main reasons why Luo Xiu tried his best to prevent Shangguan Tianqiong from dispatching all the masters.
Especially when he looked at the core area where the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was extremely dense and the power of the rules was faintly discernible. At this moment, Luo Xiu increasingly felt that he had to do his best to persuade Shangguan Tianqiong and make him listen to him. However, when he thought about how all his previous efforts were useless, Luo Xiu gave up on the persistence in his heart. To him, Shangguan Tianqiong was really stubborn to the point of being paranoid, causing Luo Xiu to feel powerless at this moment.
"I know what you mean, but have you thought about it? If it was possible, why would I take the risk to do this? Isn't there no other way?
Previously, although the exploration of the Untainted World may only be tentative, do you think we can still remain calm when we send people down and get results very quickly?
Obviously, this is an opportunity for us. Although we have to take a great risk, compared to the rewards, this little risk is nothing. Moreover, have you thought about what it means if the information we get from Luo Xiu about the Untainted World is correct? It will be endless resources.
Once we succeed in establishing ourselves in that world, we don't need to worry about our safety in the Great Destruction of the Eastern Heavens World that occurs once in a million years!
Although our strength may be affected by the Rule of Heaven and Earth at that time, the Way of Qi and Blood is an extremely tyrannical Rule Dao for any world. In this case, with the support of the Rule of Heaven and Earth, even if we can't defeat the natives of the Untainted World, it won't be a problem for us to contend with them for a short period of time. As long as we have enough time, our next generation can quickly grow up!
At that time, we don't need to worry about other problems. Although the probability of failure is very high, this is something that can't be helped. We can only gamble. If we succeed, we can reap everything! "
Looking at Shangguan Mingde in front of him, Shangguan Tianqiong couldn't help but take a deep breath and explain in an extremely decisive tone.
As an experienced person, he certainly understood the meaning of Luo Xiu's words, but he didn't agree with Luo Xiu's attitude. After all, he was still Luo Xiu's elder. Luo Xiu's attitude towards him really made Shangguan Tianqiong feel a little uncomfortable!
At the same time, his words made Luo Xiu's expression turn ugly. If he didn't know the specific situation of the Untainted World, it wouldn't have mattered. However, he knew very well how terrifying those lunatics in the Untainted World were. Therefore, at this moment, Luo Xiu certainly didn't want the worst situation to happen. Therefore, he simply couldn't tolerate Shangguan Tiancheng's paranoia.
"Then I don't understand. Why did you exclude the Xiao Clan from the list?
Even if we have an irreconcilable enmity with the Xiao Clan, I don't understand. Is the enmity between the Xiao Clan and our Shangguan Clan greater than the enmity between the Thousand Mountain Sword Sect and Donglin Academy?
Why are you so stubbornly excluding the Xiao Clan from this action?
Is there something you've been hiding from us? "
Hearing Shangguan Tianqiong's harsh tone, Luo Xiu looked a little helpless at this moment. He couldn't help but seriously ask the biggest question in his heart.
The reason why Luo Xiu said this was actually very simple. He was also curious as to why Shangguan Tianqiong was so strict with the Xiao Clan when there was no irreconcilable enmity between the Shangguan Clan and the Xiao Clan. Luo Xiu simply didn't know how to describe Shangguan Tianqiong's stubbornness and the reason behind it!
Because of the relationship between the Shangguan Clan and the Xiao Clan, no matter how much Luo Xiu scratched his head, he carefully thought about it several times, but they were all trivial matters. But even so, the people in charge of the two clans, the Old Ancestors of the two clans, were actually able to cause the relationship between the two clans to be so bad that they did not interact with each other.
Luo Xiu suspected that there was something wrong with this. He even faintly felt a trace of expectation and worry in his heart. Although he didn't know what the problem was, Luo Xiu had reason to believe that all this might be deliberately done by Shangguan Tianqiong in front of him.
"So that's what you're talking about. I was wondering what you were talking about. In fact, you should have a certain level of judgment in your heart. There are many things that you should understand even if I don't tell you. It's not that I want to exclude the Xiao Clan, but that we've already discussed it and shouldn't be on guard. After all, you should have seen that we can choose He Jie from Donglin Academy. The reason why we can't get along with the Xiao Clan is actually very simple. It's deliberate. It's just to numb the group of old fogeys from Donglin Academy!
If we can take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out Donglin Academy, that's our common goal. The enmity with the Xiao Clan is just a show to outsiders. Think about it, if we didn't deliberately exclude them this time, the Xiao Clan would have been wiped out long ago. You should also know that the Xiao Clan is not very prosperous. After so many years, there are only seven or eight direct descendants. If they also come to the Untainted Land, it's fine if everything goes well. But if everything doesn't go well, then the whole Xiao Clan will be finished! "
Shangguan Tianqiong didn't expect Luo Xiu to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and explained with a smile.
"Old Ancestor, are you sure you can handle Old Ancestor Xiao? You should know that this person is not easy to deal with. After all, his strength is not inferior to yours at all!
Are you sure you can control the overall situation? I think you'd better be careful! "
Hearing this, Luo Xiu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Although he didn't know where this old guy's confidence came from, when he saw Shangguan Tianqiong's logic, Luo Xiu knew that it would be impossible to make this old guy not be so stubborn and obstinate. Therefore, Luo Xiu was really a little distressed at the moment.
"Well, look at you. Why don't you believe in the Old Man's strength?
Don't worry!
This is not the first time I've cooperated with Old Man Xiao. As early as many years ago, when we were planning to compete with Donglin Academy for the number one force in the Eastern Heavens World, we had already begun to make arrangements. It has been on and off for tens of thousands of years. For so many years, there has been no problem with the cooperation between the two sides. And you probably underestimate your Old Ancestor. How is my strength weak?
To put it bluntly, as long as the Old Man wants to, the Old Man can completely slaughter the Xiao Family at any time!
Otherwise, why do you think Old Man Xiao is so obedient? That old guy is not a good person. For so many years, he has paid a great price for the continuation of the family. However, the Xiao Family is not living up to expectations. There is no newborn. Therefore, the Xiao Family is now in an urgent situation and must make changes. Therefore, you don't need to worry about the Xiao Family betraying you or anything. They don't dare and don't have that courage! "
Regarding Luo Xiu's worries, Shangguan Tianqiong waved his hand indifferently, indicating that he didn't need to be so nervous.
When he said this, his expression, tone, and strong confidence made Luo Xiu empathize with him. At this moment, Luo Xiu couldn't help but secretly guess where the old guy's confidence came from. He even wondered if he was really a little too conservative.
