Upon hearing Feng Qiuran's words, Annihilator narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Feng Qiuran. Back then, Feng Qiuran had been at the peak of the early-stage Soul Conduit realm. She had completely suppressed him, who had just entered the early-stage Soul Conduit realm. That was why he had no choice but to agree to cooperate with the Federation.
Now, his cultivation level had gradually increased, and he wasn't too far away from Feng Qiuran. However, he didn't want to fight with Feng Qiuran unless he had no other choice. After all … there was still the Leisurely Taoist among the Elders of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
Even though the Leisurely Taoist didn't seem to care about worldly affairs, Annihilator was still wary of him. Just as he was about to speak, the Leisurely Taoist beside him sighed.
"Annihilator, Feng Qiuran, stop arguing. It's always like this … However, Elder Annihilator is right about something. The matter of the hyacinth leaves is the main point! I also think that we should settle the matter of the hyacinth leaves first before discussing anything else. What do you think? "
Seeing that the Leisurely Taoist was acting as a peacemaker as usual, Feng Qiuran nodded after a moment of silence. She had agreed to discuss the matter of the hyacinth leaves first.
"Thirty-seven years ago, the hyacinth tree shed seven leaves. Now, there are only three … The number of leaves is decreasing. I'm afraid that the next time it falls, there will only be one." The Leisurely Taoist sighed softly, and a look of anxiety and worry appeared on his face.
"In other words, we only have three tokens this time. If everything goes well, three disciples can enter the Worship Palace Pavilion of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace and carve their names on the Dao Plate based on their own opportunities to obtain the identity of a true disciple of the Dao Palace. Do the two of you have any suggestions on how to choose these three disciples?" The Leisurely Taoist looked at Annihilator and Feng Qiuran as he spoke.
Without waiting for Feng Qiuran to speak, Annihilator had already spoken coldly.
"Back then, there were seven leaves, and seven people went. In the end, four died, leaving only Chilin and the other two who successfully became outer sect disciples of the Dao Palace. This loss is too great. Now that there are only three leaves, I don't think there's any point in going."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qiuran was immediately displeased and said lightly.
"The fallen leaves of the Hyacinthus Tree are tokens of entry into the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. This has been a tradition since the establishment of the Dao Palace. Didn't the three of us do the same in the past? Even if it's dangerous to go to the Worship Palace Pavilion now, the Hyacinthus Tree is still able to shed its leaves.
"Who knows, there might really be someone who has a heaven-defying opportunity and can become an inner sect disciple. This is extremely meaningful to us. Of course, if Elder Annihilator doesn't agree, you can give up the right for your disciples to obtain the Hyacinthus Tree leaf." After Feng Qiuran said this, Annihilator suddenly laughed.
"Elder Feng's words make sense. I didn't think it through. Since that's the case, then the three leaves are very easy to distribute. The three of us will each get a leaf, and the disciples under us will undergo a trial. The final victor will obtain the Hyacinthus Tree leaf!
These disciples are too comfortable now. We have to let them know the cruelty of cultivation. That is to fight against others and against the heavens. After all, the three of us also fought our way up to where we are in the past. " After Annihilator finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Feng Qiuran. In his heart, he laughed coldly. His words didn't seem to have any selfish motives. Three leaves for each of them. However, in reality … there was poison in his words!
After all, for Annihilator and Leisurely Taoist, after obtaining the Hyacinthus Tree leaf, even if they were to let their disciples fight for it on the surface, in reality, they could decide who to give it to.
However, for Feng Qiuran, this wasn't the case. This was because Feng Qiuran's subordinates had become a little complicated due to the addition of the Federation. Even under her suppression, there were already two factions. One faction continued to support Feng Qiuran, while the other faction became increasingly silent and showed signs of opposition.
On the basis of these two factions, it was the same among the disciples. The Federation Seedlings were weak and could only band together. As for the cultivators from the other factions under Feng Qiuran, no matter how supportive they were, it was very difficult for them to treat the Federation Seedlings as their own in a short period of time.
Thus, the question was who to give the leaf to. If they were to fight for it according to Annihilator's suggestion, should the Federation Seedlings participate or not …
If they participated, they would definitely have to fight for the Hyacinthus Tree leaf with the Federation Seedlings. Injuries and deaths were inevitable in the fight. After all, this was a great opportunity, and few would choose to give it up. Therefore, if they really fought for it, even if it was fair and reasonable, it would still cause the rift between Feng Qiuran's subordinates and the Federation Seedlings to worsen.
However, if they didn't allow the Federation Seedlings to participate, this opportunity would be treated differently, and the rift would still worsen. At the same time, even if Feng Qiuran didn't choose to fight for it, she would still face a similar dilemma. If she directly gave it to one of the Federation Seedlings, the cultivators under her would be dissatisfied. The same was true for the other cultivators.
It could be said that according to Annihilator's plan, no matter how this matter was done, there would be a rift between Feng Qiuran and the Federation Seedlings. When the time came, the dissatisfied cultivators under Feng Qiuran would definitely take sides again!
It could be said that this was a vicious trap!
From the beginning to the end, whether it was his opposition to the second batch of Seedlings from the Federation Seedlings or his subsequent suggestion that the Hyacinthus Tree leaf was meaningless, it was all to set the stage for him to say these words logically!
After all … if Feng Qiuran insisted on maintaining tradition, then such an allocation would not only make it impossible for Feng Qiuran to refute, but it would also give the Leisurely Taoist the benefit of making his own choices. Annihilator believed that even if Feng Qiuran saw the problem, it would be difficult for her to retaliate.
At the same time, he had made subsequent preparations.
In reality, although Feng Qiuran had an indecisive personality and was slightly weak, she was not stupid. After careful consideration, her eyes narrowed. Clearly, she had realized the viciousness of Annihilator's suggestion. Just as she was about to speak, the Leisurely Taoist beside her laughed out loud and nodded.
"This is indeed a good suggestion. I agree!"
When the Leisurely Taoist spoke, Feng Qiuran fell silent. Her expression immediately turned ugly. She had been too passive in today's matter. Perhaps Annihilator had communicated with the Leisurely Taoist, which had caught her off guard.
At the same time, this matter was extremely frightening. Once it was confirmed that the two of them had reached a consensus and was not a last-minute decision made by the Leisurely Taoist, then the significance of this matter would be far-reaching.
All sorts of thoughts raced through Feng Qiuran's mind. She knew that she had to find a way out of this situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, if she followed Annihilator's suggestion, she would be completely passive.
Furthermore, she still did not believe that the Leisurely Taoist would suddenly choose to side with her after so many years of neutrality!
When she thought of this, a cold glint flashed across Feng Qiuran's eyes. She raised her right hand and slammed it on the armrest of the chair beside her. With a loud boom, the entire chair collapsed. She stood up, her expression filled with grief, anger, and even more so, regret.
"Annihilator, Youran, could it be that because the main body of the Dao Palace has been sealed, the Laozu and the others are either in deep slumber or uncertain of their fate? Now, only the three of us are left with the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the Dao Palace. Is it time for us to split up?!"
"Annihilator, you keep saying that there are three bloodlines and three bloodlines. What are your intentions?!"
"There are no three bloodlines in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. There is only one bloodline, and there is only one Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Annihilator, are you trying to establish your own sect?!" Feng Qiuran's voice was cold, which was a rare sight. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent. Her furious expression made her murderous intent seem like sorrow after extreme anger!
The Leisurely Taoist's expression changed. He looked at Feng Qiuran and remained silent. As for the Annihilator, he clearly did not expect Feng Qiuran to accuse him of saying that there were three bloodlines. Hence, his expression turned ugly. Just as he was about to speak, Feng Qiuran would not give him the chance to do so. Her voice reverberated in the air once again.
"As for the distribution of the leaves of the Hyacinthus Tree, there is no need to give one leaf to each of the three bloodlines. We are all members of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. Each of us will send out two hundred Core Formation realm disciples. There will be a total of six hundred people. Let them start the trial together and fight for the three leaves. Furthermore, the Dao Palace does not allow deaths. Hence, the trial will be conducted within the Endless Illusions Array!"
"Daoist Leisurely Taoist, what do you think?" As Feng Qiuran spoke, she looked at the Leisurely Taoist.
"This matter … I agree. Sigh, both of your suggestions are fine. I agree with both of them." The Leisurely Taoist smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement. At the same time, he wanted to ease the tension between Feng Qiuran and Annihilator.
As for the Annihilator, he looked deeply at Feng Qiuran. He admitted that he had made a mistake this time, especially when it came to establishing his own sect and dividing up the family's assets. No matter what, he had to avoid that. Hence, after a moment of silence, the Annihilator snorted and did not speak. It was a tacit agreement to Feng Qiuran's suggestion!
