Tao Ming proposed that the Sword Sect should still be the vanguard of the attack on the Tian Wu Road. Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Sovereigns present, as well as Xiao Chen and the others, changed.
There was an obvious chill in Xiao Chen's eyes. He had long guessed that Tao Ming was up to no good. Sure enough, this guy obviously wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work.
Everyone present knew the consequences of being the vanguard. This time, the Sword Sect had been the vanguard, but their casualties were several times that of the other forces. After all, when fighting against the Evil Path, the vanguard naturally had to bear the brunt of the attack. On the other hand, the Heavenly Sect had not lost a single soldier in their attack on the Flame Wind Realm. As the rear guard, they did not participate in the battle at all.
They had already been the vanguard once, but Tao Ming still wanted the Sword Sect to be the vanguard again. This was indeed a little unsightly.
However, upon hearing Tao Ming's words, the Sovereigns present fell into silence. For a moment, no one spoke up to oppose.
The atmosphere seemed to have become a little strange because of Tao Ming's words, but soon, Xiao Chen also guessed the thoughts of the Sovereigns.
Jun Wuya's strength was great, which was indeed a good thing for the Great Thousand World, but in addition, it also made the Sovereigns feel threatened.
Not only Tao Ming, but the other Sovereigns also felt it. After all, for so many years, the Great Thousand World had always been filled with heroes, but suddenly, Jun Wuya, whose strength could almost crush the other Sovereigns, had appeared. What would the others think?
Would Jun Wuya be the leader of the Great Thousand World in the future? They were all Sovereigns, the top existences in the Great Thousand World. Naturally, they were unwilling to submit to Jun Wuya.
To put it bluntly, no one wanted to see the situation of the Great Thousand World dominating the world. Therefore, even though everyone knew that the purpose of Tao Ming's suggestion was to weaken the strength of the Sword Sect, no one objected to it.
Everyone knew that Jun Wuya was very strong, so weakening the strength of the Sword Sect was equivalent to restricting Jun Wuya.
For various reasons, the Sovereigns and Tao Ming stood on the same front. Facing Tao Ming's gaze, Jun Wuya's expression remained unchanged and he even smiled.
"Does everyone agree with Tao Ming's suggestion?"
Jun Wuya said and swept a glance at everyone. Facing Jun Wuya's gaze, no one dared to look back. After all, the Sword Sect had been the vanguard twice in a row. No matter how one put it, their table manners were a little too unsightly.
Upon hearing Jun Wuya's words, Luo Xing spoke up. "I don't agree. Since everyone is in an alliance, how can we let the same force be the vanguard twice in a row?"
Luo Xing had always admired Jun Wuya, so she naturally wasn't afraid of Jun Wuya dominating the world. Moreover, she was a woman.
However, following his words, Tao Ming immediately retorted. "What's so unfair about this? Capable people do more work. Moreover, the strength of the Sword Sect is obvious to all. Letting the Sword Sect be the vanguard is obviously the wisest choice. Besides, now that the enemy is right in front of us, if we still scheme against each other, wouldn't we become a joke to the Evil Path?"
Tao Ming's words could be said to be filled with righteousness, but everyone understood his purpose.
The reason why Tao Ming was so insistent was that he had no choice. He felt like he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off.
Unlike the others, Tao Ming didn't just feel threatened by the powerful Jun Wuya. It could even be said that he was terrified. Thus, in order to protect himself, Tao Ming had to do everything he could to weaken and limit the Sword Sect's strength and development.
Tao Ming insisted on letting the Sword Sect be the vanguard. Other than Luo Xing, the others neither opposed nor supported this.
They didn't oppose Tao Ming because they also wanted to weaken the Sword Sect and limit its development. Otherwise, the Sword Sect would dominate the world in the future. They didn't support this because they didn't want to offend Jun Wuya. After all, Jun Wuya's strength was there for all to see.
Even the Sky Ancestor kept his head down and did not say a word.
After Tao Ming finished speaking, the rest was up to Jun Wuya. At this moment, Jun Wuya actually looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Chen 'er, you're the Sword Sect's Sect Master. You can decide for yourself."
Jun Wuya actually gave the right to decide to Xiao Chen. Everyone present was stunned, including Xiao Chen.
However, when Xiao Chen saw Jun Wuya's smiling expression, Xiao Chen knew that Jun Wuya clearly felt that it was troublesome, so he was unwilling to make this decision. Thus, he simply threw this hot potato to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen knew Jun Wuya's temperament very well. He didn't care about fame, power, or status. If it weren't for him, Jun Wuya probably wouldn't have joined the Sword Sect and become the Old Ancestor of the Sword Sect.
Jun Wuya thought it was troublesome. In this regard, Xiao Chen could only smile bitterly. However, there was nothing he could do. At this moment, under everyone's gaze, Xiao Chen could only brace himself and stand up, bow to the Sovereigns, and then slowly speak.
"Now that we are facing a great enemy, my Sword Sect is naturally unwilling to do anything to break the unity. Since everyone doesn't object to Senior Tao Ming's proposal, my Sword Sect can agree. However, there is one condition, and that is that the Heavenly Sect must also be the vanguard of the attack on the Sword Sect."
From the reactions of the Sovereigns present just now, Xiao Chen had already guessed what they were thinking, so if he refused at this time, it would obviously offend everyone, and it would be extremely disadvantageous for the upcoming battle.
Besides, if he offended everyone at this time, it would be tantamount to pushing the Sovereigns and all the forces present to Tao Ming's side. At that time, the Sword Sect's situation would become even more difficult.
Since everyone chose to acquiesce because they were afraid of Jun Wuya's strength, then Xiao Chen would go with the flow and accept the task of being the vanguard. However, according to Xiao Chen's character, even if he had no choice, he wouldn't let go of the Heavenly Sect for nothing. Therefore, Xiao Chen made such a request.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tao Ming's expression immediately changed. "Xiao Chen, only one vanguard is enough. Why do we need two?"
Tao Ming didn't expect Xiao Chen to make such a choice at all, but as soon as his voice fell, the other Sovereigns also spoke up at this time.
"It's not impossible to have two vanguards. After all, it's very important for us to take down the Tian Wu Road. In this case, two vanguards can ensure that nothing goes wrong. I think Xiao Chen's proposal is good."
"I also think it's good. You know, we can only succeed in this attack on the Tian Wu Road. Therefore, I don't think there's a problem with the Heavenly Sect being the vanguard."
