When Li Wanshan finished reading the words on the last jade token, there was no need for them to count anymore. This was because most of the jade tokens were written with words. Only a small number of jade tokens had the word 'death' written on them.
Li Wanshan placed the jade token to the side, glanced at the crowd, and said with a smile, "Now that I've finished reading it, everyone should know the result. The majority are students. In other words, everyone still wants to live. At the same time, we can pass down our Sword Dance Sect's orthodoxy. That's easy. We can surrender to the Exploration Sea Sect, but we can negotiate with them and get them to promise us that they will pass down our orthodoxy. Only then can we surrender. If you agree, we will negotiate with them. What do you think?"
What do you think? "Everyone said in unison," Everything will be decided by the Sect Master. "
Li Wanshan nodded. Then, he glanced at the crowd and said with a faint smile, "Alright, it's decided then. Wen Wei, you've been in contact with the Scouring Sea Sect the most. I think you should go and see Sect Master Jian first. Tell him about our decision and see what he has to say. What do you think?"
Wen Wei said in a deep voice, "Yes, it's my duty. Please rest assured, Sect Master."
Li Wanshan nodded and said in a deep voice, "Go as soon as possible. The sooner he finishes this matter, the better. Go."
Wen Wei responded and stood up. He cupped his fists at Li Wanshan and said, "Sect Master, I'll go now. I'm sure Sect Master Jian will agree."
Li Wanshan nodded and waved his hand. Wen Wei turned around and walked out of the hall. After Wen Wei left, Li Wanshan looked at everyone and said, "Well, since Wen Wei has left, we need to prepare ourselves. I'm sure that the Scouring Sea Sect will agree to this. We need to prepare a lot of things. First, let the disciples know about this matter. Second, take inventory of our Swordsdance Sect's supplies. If we want to surrender, then we don't need to be stingy and just give everything to the Scouring Sea Sect. As long as we do these two things, we can wait for the Scouring Sea Sect to come."
Once we've done that, we'll wait for the Scouring Sea Sect to arrive. "" Yes, Sect Master! "Everyone in the hall responded in unison.
Seeing that everyone had left, Li Wanshan glanced at the main hall and sighed. He had not gone anywhere else for the past three days. Instead, he had been staying in the Ancestral Hall of the Sword Dance Sect. The Ancestral Master Hall was a place where the Sword Dance Sect worshipped the Ancestral Masters of the Sword Dance Sect. Every time a Supreme Elder of the Sword Dance Sect passed away, he would be enshrined in the Ancestral Master Hall.
Li Wanshan had been staying in the Ancestral Hall for the past three days. He felt that he had let down the Ancestral Master of the Sword Dance Sect. However, he thought about it later. If they did not surrender, the orthodoxy of the Sword Dance Sect would be destroyed. Therefore, even though he had been in seclusion in the Ancestral Hall for three days, he still could not figure out whether he should surrender or not. In the end, he decided to pass the decision to all the elders of the Sword Dance Sect and let them vote.
The result of the vote was as he had expected. After all, they were all cultivators and none of them wanted to die. Moreover, they were surrendering, not giving up their orthodoxy. Therefore, such a surrender was acceptable.
Although he had already made up his mind, he still felt a little uncomfortable. The others might not feel as strongly as him. After all, the others were not the Sect Masters, but he was the Sect Master of the Sword Dance Sect. Naturally, his feelings were different.
However, this was already a fact. There was no way to change it, and he didn't want to change it. Therefore, he stayed in the hall for a while before returning to his room. He had a lot of things to deal with right now, so he needed to prepare well. Even if they wanted to surrender, they had to do it on their own initiative. They weren't forced, so they couldn't be dejected.
Soon after, the news of them surrendering to the Sea-Exploring Sect spread throughout the entire Sword Dance Sect. All the disciples of the Sword Dance Sect were aware of this news. At first, they were in an uproar. They had not expected that the sect would actually decide to surrender to the Sea-Exploring Sect without a word. This was unacceptable.
However, they slowly calmed down and realized that this did not seem to be a bad thing. It was no longer news that the disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect were treated well. Now, all the sects in the Sword Spirit World knew that the disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect were treated the best. This was also something that many disciples of other sects were envious of.
Now that they had surrendered to the Scouring Sea Sect, they would become disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect. In that case, they would be able to enjoy the same treatment as the disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect. This might not be a bad thing for them. At the thought of this, the disciples of the Sword Dance Sect could not help but feel relieved. After all, they were all cultivators and they were more concerned about their future.
At this time, Wen Wei had already arrived at the Scouring Sea Sect. The place he came to was, of course, the Sword Defense Sect's branch. Apart from the disciples of the Scouring Sea Sect, no one else was allowed to enter the Sky City.
Zhao Hai was also at the Sword Defense Sect's branch. When he heard that Wen Wei wanted to see him, Zhao Hai did not say anything. Instead, he directly called Wen Wei to his study. After Wen Wei entered the study, Zhao Hai looked at Wen Wei and said, "Wen Wei, what brings you here today?"
To be honest, although the Iron Buddha Temple and the Sword Dance Sect had some conflicts in the past, those were all trivial matters. There was no great enmity between them. However, the conflicts arose because they shared the same secret realm. Now that the Iron Buddha Temple had merged with the Scouring Sea Sect, the Sword Dance Sect had also become an ally of the Scouring Sea Sect. In addition, the Sword Dance Sect had also become an ally of the Scouring Sea Sect. After becoming allies, the Sword Dance Sect had also been tactful. Especially in the last matter, the Sword Dance Sect had handled it very well. Zhao Hai still had some appreciation for the Sword Dance Sect, so he really wanted to know why Wen Wei had come looking for him.
Wen Wei cupped his fists at Zhao Hai and said, "Alliance Master, I am here today on behalf of the entire Sword Dance Sect. I would like to discuss with you the matter of the Sword Dance Sect merging with the Scouring Sea Sect."
When Wen Wei said this, Zhao Hai was stunned. He looked at Wen Wei with some confusion and said, "Wen Wei, what did you say? You said that the Sword Dance Sect wants to merge with the Scouring Sea Sect? "
Wen Wei nodded and said, "Yes, Alliance Master. Our Swordsdance Sect wishes to merge with the Scouring Sea Sect. This matter has been decided upon by all the elders in our Swordsdance Sect. Today, I'm here on behalf of the Swordsdance Sect to discuss this matter.
Zhao Hai's face slowly turned serious. He looked at Wen Wei and said, "Wen Wei, you should know that our Scouring Sea Sect has no intention of attacking you. You don't have to worry that the Scouring Sea Sect will harm you. If you feel that you are not safe, then there is no need for that."
Wen Wei shook his head and said, "That's not the case. We have decided to merge with the Scouring Sea Sect after careful consideration. Moreover, this matter was decided by all the elders of our sect through a vote. Therefore, Alliance Master doesn't have to think too much about it."
Zhao Hai looked at Wen Wei and said, "I still don't quite understand why you want to merge with our Scouring Sea Sect. Logically speaking, your Sword Dance Sect's strength is not bad. Why do you want to merge with our Scouring Sea Sect?"
Wen Wei answered, "Alliance Master, there is only one reason why we want to merge with the Scouring Sea Sect, and that is to pass down the orthodoxy of the Sword Dance Sect. You know the current situation in the Sword Spirit World. The Myriad Buddhas Temple, Tianyi Dao Sect, and Scouring Sea Sect represent the three major forces of the Righteous Dao Alliance. The Demon Sword Sect, Evil Ghost Sect, and Sacred Gate have also formed an alliance. They will not be willing to be left alone. Therefore, no one knows when a war will break out in the Sword Spirit World. With the strength of our Sword Dance Sect, we are not confident that we can protect ourselves and our orthodoxy in this war. Therefore, we have finally discussed and decided that we can merge with the Scouring Sea Sect. However, we have one request, and that is to pass down the orthodoxy of our Sword Dance Sect.
What do you think? "Zhao Hai looked at Wen Wei and asked," Have you really decided? "
Wen Wei replied, "Yes, we have really decided. Now, our Sect Master is making arrangements in the sect. As long as Alliance Master agrees, he can directly send someone to take over our Sword Dance Sect."
Zhao Hai looked at Wen Wei and suddenly burst into laughter. "Great, I'm also surprised by your Sword Dance Sect's decision. However, I agree that your Sword Dance Sect can be merged into our Scouring Sea Sect. As for the inheritance of your Sword Dance Sect, you can rest assured. Our Scouring Sea Sect is very open. We won't interfere with what cultivation techniques our disciples learn. In the future, as long as our disciples are willing to learn your Sword Dance Sect's cultivation techniques, we will definitely not stop them.
Therefore, you don't have to worry about it. "Wen Wei couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Hai's words. Then, he turned to Zhao Hai and said," Thank you, Sect Master. I will go back now and tell the good news to the people in the sect. "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, go. I'll also pass on this news. After that, I'll personally go to the Sword Dance Sect and discuss the matter of the merger with Sect Master Li."
Wen Wei nodded, then he gave Zhao Hai a salute before turning around and leaving. After Wen Wei left, Zhao Hai immediately called Laura, Wen Wenhai, and the others to the study. Then he immediately announced the good news.
When Laura and the others heard the news, they were very happy. Although they didn't expect this, they were still very happy. This was because this meant that another sect had merged with the Sea Exploring Sect. The Sea Exploring Sect's strength had increased by a notch.
After everyone was happy for a while, Zhao Hai waved his hand and had everyone sit down. Then he said, "The Sword Dance Sect joining us is definitely a good thing for us. Therefore, I will also give the Sect Master of the Sword Dance Sect some preferential treatment. The Sword Dance Sect will be changed into a Sword Dance Branch Hall. The Branch Hall Master will still be Li Wanshan. The Sword Dance Branch Hall will also be reformed. At the same time, some of the original disciples of the Sword Dance Sect will be transferred over. This will allow the Sword Dance Branch Hall to get on the right track as soon as possible."
Everyone nodded. Nobody objected to Zhao Hai's words. This was the most appropriate way to deal with it.
