Ye Chenchen heaved a long sigh. "Today, I have urgently gathered all of you here … for this matter. How … should we go about it? We must make a decision today. Time really waits for no man! "
"The reason why I said that time waits for no man is because I received a secret intelligence report earlier. Under the Dharma Supreme's summons, all the higher-ups of the law-enforcement officers have already turned out in full force, including the Patriarch Group that has not been mobilized for a long time … They will be here by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
Ye Chenchen added, "I believe everyone understands without me having to say it. There are quite a number of low-grade Supreme Martial Artists among these people … Some of them are even old monsters who have lived for more than ten thousand years and are from the same generation as the Moon Breeze couple. Many of them have fought with them before and lost only by a small margin. Even if these people are not as strong as the Moon Breeze couple, they are definitely extremely difficult opponents …"
"How should we … deal with them? This is another question that we have to consider." Ye Chenchen laughed bitterly and shook his head, somewhat speechless.
Deal with them, make decisions …
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
The large-scale arrival of the law-enforcement officers this time could be said to have truly turned out in full force. Obviously, it was the Dharma Supreme's request that even the "World Order" was used. Was there a need to ask why the Dharma Supreme would make such a request? None of the people present were fools. How could they not understand by now!
The Dharma Supreme or the Extraterrestrial Demon urgently needed the spirits of a large number of experts. Now that he had first used the name of the law-enforcement officers to hold the Tianding Grand Meeting and gathered a large number of experts in one place and then gathered all the experts on his side, it was easy to imagine what he was planning to do.
Faced with such an almost unbeatable iron current, what should they do? Ye Chenchen wasn't the only one who was feeling uncertain right now. Even the rest of the people present were at a loss.
Who did the Dharma Supreme really want to deal with in such an unscrupulous manner? It was none other than the big clans or the Tribulation Sword Master.
As for the other itinerant practitioners of the martial world, even if there were some experts, they would not have as many experts as the big clans …
Everyone frowned and kept silent with gloomy expressions. It wasn't that they were pretending to be reserved, but they really had nothing to say and were unable to respond.
Ye Chenchen said, "Right now, we really don't have the time to hesitate anymore. Two extremely powerful enemies are already closing in on us, right in front of us. Based on the unscrupulous way that the Heavenly Demon and the Dharma Supreme do things, they have already shown that they don't care about us at all. They only see us as their targets, their food ingredients, and their nourishing medicine. That day, the moment he appeared, he swallowed the entire Shi Clan. After that, he slaughtered his way to this day … "
"Also, according to the signs, the Tribulation Sword Master has obtained the eighth fragment of the Tribulation Sword. This means that he is about to ascend to the upper stage of the Heavenly Layer and begin his destiny as the Master of Calamity Sword … "
"Originally, the Tribulation Sword Master and the Heavenly Demon could be said to be irreconcilable, but the Tribulation Sword Master's primary target is still us. Even if the Heavenly Demon is destroyed, the Tribulation Sword Master will not let us go. Even if the Tribulation Sword Master is dead, the Heavenly Demons won't let us go. The great clans are in grave danger. "
For a moment, Ye Chenchen felt a little mentally and physically exhausted. There was a tiger at the front door and a wolf at the back door. Their side was really in a perilous situation. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they would die.
In just a few days' time, the situation had taken a turn for the worse. Almost before they could react, the great clans that were once famous throughout the entire Heavenly Layer were already at a disadvantage. Moreover, it was an absolute disadvantage, even to the point of being in a hopeless situation.
Xiao Chenyu sighed and said, "Previously, when the war in the northwest was about to end, the Tribulation Sword Master Chu Yang once said that there would be Heavenly Demons wreaking havoc on the world. He even suggested to me that we should join forces to eliminate the Heavenly Demons first and eliminate the Heavenly Demons once and for all … But … I rejected him …"
"You rejected him?" All the Elder Masters turned to look at Xiao Chenyu. Their gazes were as if they were looking at a fool.
If it was any other time, no matter who or what force dared to look at Xiao Chenyu with such a gaze, the Xiao Clan's ancestors would definitely be uprooted by the Xiao Clan. Their entire clan would be wiped out and not even a chicken or dog would be spared!
But now, in such a grim situation, it was rare for the Tribulation Sword Master to take the initiative to express goodwill and join forces to eliminate the Heavenly Demons. Xiao Chenyu, you actually rejected him?
If you're not a fool, then who is?!
If it weren't for their old friendship, all the Elder Masters wanted to ask the Xiao Clan's ancestor if he didn't have a brain or if there was mold in his brain that day. If he wasn't kicked by a donkey or caught by a door frame again, how could he reject such a great opportunity that would only bring him benefits and no harm?!
If we could let the Heavenly Demons and the Tribulation Sword Master fight each other, we would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. No matter which side won in the end, they would definitely suffer some losses. Then, we could reap the benefits and eliminate the two biggest threats in one fell swoop. That would be a wonderful thing!
But … you … you actually rejected him!?!
Xiao Chenyu's face turned red. "At that time, how would I know … that things would deteriorate to such an extent? Although we have seen the Extraterrestrial Demons in ancient books, there are very few descriptions of them. Who would have thought that they would be so dangerous? Based on the situation at that time, the Li Clan was about to be destroyed. How could we stop just because the Master of the Calamity Sword said that we should work together … "
"Besides, my younger brother … Chen Lei died in their hands. Great families and Tribulation Legend can't coexist in this world … Even now, even though I know the situation is so serious, even if Tribulation Sword Master suggests joining hands again, I will still refuse. This is a matter of principle."
"Second Brother Xiao, your thoughts are too extreme!" Ling Muyang frowned. His eyes were as cold as ice. He said calmly, "Things have different priorities. Could it be that the safety of the people and the entire continent is not as important to Second Brother Xiao as your brother coming alone?"
Xiao Chenyu was speechless.
After a long while, he said, "Personally, I insist on my original opinion. I don't agree to join forces with the Tribulation Sword Master, but that's just my opinion. I won't interfere with everyone's decision … Besides, this time, I told you what happened last time because I wanted to tell you that … if you can join forces with the Tribulation Sword Master, I believe he will be interested."
"Brother Tribulation takes the well-being of the people in the world as his responsibility. We invited him with righteousness. The chances of us joining forces are great. But the problem is, what will happen after the cooperation?"
Qiu was a handsome old man who looked old but was still handsome. He frowned. "Besides, what about the cooperation … Can we really work together sincerely?"
He didn't say it explicitly, but everyone knew what he meant.
The big clans had always been enemies with the Tribulation Sword Master. Now, even if they were forced to work together temporarily, would they be stabbed in the back in the process? What about tripping each other up?
Take the simplest example. When the Heavenly Demons were about to attack, would the masters of the big clans risk their lives to protect Tribulation? When the Heavenly Demons were fighting, if the leader of the big clans was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread, would the Tribulation Sword Master generously give it to him?
If it was the former, the big clans wouldn't help him!
As for the latter, if they put themselves in his shoes, the Heavenly Demons had been destroyed. Giving him the divine medicine was equal to helping the enemy. Only a fool would do something like that. Was the Tribulation Sword Master a fool? It didn't look like it!
If they worked together like that, what was the difference between not working together at all?
Because that kind of situation was absolutely possible. They even had to take care of the "allies" around them at all times, guarding against the "allies" who would stab them in the back.
The number one teaching of the big clans in the past ten thousand years was to deal with the Tribulation Sword Master. They regarded the Tribulation Sword Master as the biggest imaginary enemy. The idea of hostility had been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
How could they work together sincerely all of a sudden?
Zhuge Cangqiong frowned and said, "Nothing is absolute in the world. With the current situation, it's not impossible for us to work together … Fighting together is not the only way to cooperate … As long as we work together to deal with the Heavenly Demons at a certain time, everything will be done with the premise of eliminating the Heavenly Demons. Don't fight among yourselves."
Chen Yingfeng said sarcastically, "Don't fight among yourselves? Who doesn't know how to say nice words? Do you think it's possible? There will definitely be discomfort. Ask yourselves honestly, who can guarantee that they won't have any evil intentions? They're just lying to themselves! "
"Shut up, all of you!" Ye Chenchen shouted sternly.
Everyone stopped talking.
"The big clans are fighting the Tribulation Sword Master for survival. We know that this is the general trend, but when it comes to personal life and death, we have no choice but to struggle and go against the natural order. We have no choice! However, the descent of the Heavenly Demons is a matter of righteousness! "
"Between personal survival and righteousness, is there even a need to say how to choose? What's there to fight about? "Although Ye Chenchen's voice was low, it was extremely stern.
All the Patriarchs lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"We may not be good people, but we haven't fallen to the point of being traitors to the entire human race!" Ye Chenchen's voice was like iron. "The Heavenly Demons are powerful and powerful, but we can only die! How can we be calculative about the Tribulation Sword Master at a time like this? Do you know what you're doing?! "
Ling Muyang said loudly, "That's right! There's no need to be calculative at a time like this! Big Boss Ye, I originally wanted to fight you to the death before I die, but on account of what you said, I won't fight you. "
Ye Chenchen let out a wry laugh.
He knew why Ling Muyang was doing this, but at this moment, he really wasn't in the mood to bring up those things at all.
Ye Chenchen turned to look at Diwu Qingrou, who hadn't spoken all this while. He asked, "Clan Master Diwu, what do you think?"
Everyone turned to look at him.
Everyone felt somewhat uncomfortable and uneasy with Diwu Qing Rou sitting here. In the past ten thousand years, when had there ever been an outsider in a top-secret high-level meeting that originally only belonged to the big clans? However, now that the Diwu Clan had appeared out of nowhere and risen to power in a high-profile manner, taking advantage of the situation and ascending the Heavenly Steps, even if they had some power, what did that count for? They were just a nouveau riche!
