Zheng Yuelin stood next to the transmission formation. His expression was somewhat complicated. His relationship with Li Wanshan was very good. Their sects had cooperated many times. It wasn't a big deal for Zheng Yuelin to welcome Li Wanshan when he came to the High Wind Sword Sect.
But this time, Zheng Yuelin's mood was very complicated. He didn't even know what kind of attitude he should have towards Li Wanshan.
Li Wanshan was no longer the Sect Master of the Sword Dance Sect, but the Hall Master of the Sea Exploring Sect's Sword Dance Branch. Moreover, Zheng Yuelin was very clear about why Li Wanshan came to see him. But because of this, he didn't know what kind of attitude he should have towards Li Wanshan.
At this time, a white light flashed from the transmission array and Li Wanshan appeared. Beside him was only a guard, there were no extra people. He looked like a person who was visiting a good friend's house. He didn't put on any airs.
Seeing Li Wanshan's appearance, Zheng Yuelin felt relieved. Then he walked forward and opened his arms, "Brother Li, you're finally here. How have you been?"
Li Wanshan also arrived in front of Zheng Yuelin. The two gave each other a hug. Then Li Wanshan said, "Very good, I'm very relaxed right now. Brother Zheng, how have I been?"
At this time, the two released each other. Zheng Yuelin looked at Li Wanshan with a complicated expression. Then he sighed and said, "Not very good. If it weren't for the Sea Exploring Sect's support, I'm afraid our days would be even more difficult. Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let's go in."
Li Wanshan nodded and didn't say anything. He followed Zheng Yuelin into the High Wind Sword Sect. The two didn't go to the main hall of the sect but went directly to Zheng Yuelin's study. This was what Li Wanshan told Zheng Yuelin before. This time, he was only visiting as a friend, not as an official representative of the Sea Exploring Sect. Therefore, he didn't want to make a scene or it would only make Zheng Yuelin uncomfortable.
The two went to Zheng Yuelin's study and sat down. Naturally, a disciple served them tea. Then Zheng Yuelin waved his hand and everyone left the study, leaving only the two of them. Zheng Yuelin looked at Li Wanshan and said, "Brother Li, I still don't understand why you want to join the Sea Exploring Sect. Is it really just to pass down the sect's orthodoxy?"
Li Wanshan looked at Zheng Yuelin and smiled, "Isn't that enough? A sect's orthodoxy is more important than anything else. Of course, I hope that the sect's orthodoxy can continue to be passed down. At the same time, I don't want our Sword Dance Sect's disciples to suffer too many casualties. After all, they are all disciples of the Sword Dance Sect and I watched them grow up. "
"Are you so sure that if you don't join the Sea Exploring Sect, your Sword Dance Sect's disciples will suffer a lot of casualties? Are you so sure that if you don't join the Sea Exploring Sect, your Sword Dance Sect's orthodoxy won't be passed down? "
"How is the High Wind Sword Sect now? You must have put in a lot of effort recently, right? "
When Zheng Yuelin heard Li Wanshan's words, he immediately understood what Li Wanshan meant. He looked at Li Wanshan and said, "You just want to tell me this? Are the losses of the Sea Exploring Sect small? You're now facing a two-pronged attack. "
Li Wanshan looked at Zheng Yuelin and smiled faintly. "Perhaps. Forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore. I just came to the High Wind Sword Sect this time to see you. We've been old friends for many years. You won't be unwelcome, right?"
Although Li Wanshan had changed the topic, Zheng Yuelin looked at Li Wanshan with sparkling eyes and said, "Don't change the topic. What do you mean by what you just said? Are you lying to everyone when you said that the Sea Exploring Sect didn't suffer that many casualties? "
Li Wanshan looked at Zheng Yuelin's expression and smiled faintly, "I didn't say that. However, I do have something to tell you. The strength of the Sea Sect is far greater than you can imagine."
Zheng Yuelin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Wanshan's words. Then, he nodded his head and glanced at Li Wanshan before saying, "It seems that all of us have underestimated the Sea Exploring Sect. Then, what are you here for this time? You can't just be here to see me. Are you here for something else? "
Li Wanshan looked at Zheng Yuelin and said with a smile, "You should know why I'm here. Why are you still asking? Brother Zheng, we've been old friends for many years. The cooperation between our two sects has been very smooth. The reason why our Swordsdance Sect joined the Scouring Sea Sect was because the situation in the Sword Spirit World was changing every day. In the end, we voted to decide the fate of the Swordsdance Sect. However, you still haven't made a decision.
I'm worried about you. "Zheng Yuelin looked at Li Wanshan and said," What are you worried about? What's there to be worried about? Isn't the situation now good? "
Li Wanshan looked at Zheng Yuelin and said, "Brother Zheng, you don't think that all of this is a coincidence, right? Don't tell me that those beasts are attacking the city because of the beast tide? You're too naive if you think so. "
Zheng Yuelin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Wanshan. Then his expression changed as he looked at Li Wanshan and said, "What do you mean? Don't tell me that this beast tide isn't the reason for the beast tide? "
Li Wanshan said in a deep voice, "Brother Zheng, you've experienced quite a few beast tides. Haven't you noticed that this beast tide is different from the previous beast tides? In the previous Beast Tides, has there ever been a situation where the Demonic Beasts would cooperate with each other and fight with you? No, not even once. Is this normal? Don't forget that the Demon Sword Sect is now in an alliance with the Sacred Gate. What kind of organization is the Sacred Gate? They're a beast cultivator organization. Beast cultivators, they're all beasts. "
Zheng Yuelin's expression couldn't help but change when he heard this. He looked at Li Wanshan and said, "Brother Li, is what you said true? Is all of this true? Did your Sea Exploring Sect get some information? "
"No, we didn't get any definite information. This is just the Sect Master's guess. But Brother Zheng, isn't this guess enough? I heard that the Myriad Buddha Temple and the Tianyi Dao Sect have also begun to suspect because the beast tide this time is too strange. "
Zheng Yuelin stopped talking, but his expression was getting uglier. In the end, Zheng Yuelin looked at Li Wanshan and said, "Is surrendering the only way? Is surrendering to the Sea Exploring Sect the only way to survive? "
Li Wanshan looked at Zheng Yuelin and frowned. To be honest, he didn't have much patience. He was clearly doing this for Zheng Yuelin's sake, but Zheng Yuelin kept acting as if he was begging him. He really didn't know what to say.
Li Wanshan suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Do you know how the Sword Dance Sect voted back then? The words' life 'and' death 'were written on a jade token. In the end, most people chose to live, and only a few chose to die. As for' life ', they chose to join the Sea Exploration Sect, and' death ', they chose to guard our Sword Dance Sect. "
Zheng Yuelin looked at Li Wanshan and said, "But we're the Lingfeng Sword Sect, not the Sword Dance Sect."
Li Wanshan's expression changed. He looked at Zheng Yuelin and said, "Brother Zheng, what do you mean? Do you think that everyone in the Sword Dance Sect is afraid of death? Do you think that the Sea Exploring Sect lacks the Lingfeng Sword Sect? Don't think too highly of yourself. If the Sea Exploring Sect wants to destroy the Lingfeng Sword Sect, it won't take long. Do you think that I'm here to persuade you this time just for the sake of the Sea Exploring Sect? I'm doing this for you. I don't want to see the inheritance of the Lingfeng Sword Sect end in your hands. If you really think that you can withstand the attacks of the Sea Exploring Sect, the Demon Sword Sect, or the Myriad Buddha Temple, then do as you wish. If you can develop the Lingfeng Sword Sect into the number one sect in the Sword Spirit World in this chaos, then that's your ability. I won't say anything else. "
Zheng Yuelin's expression changed when he heard Li Wanshan's words. He realized that he had been overthinking things. The Sea Exploring Sect was a colossus. The Swordsdance Sect's strength was stronger than theirs. Yet, they had surrendered in the end. However, he had not. Why? Perhaps it was because he couldn't let go of his face and the power in his hands.
Although Li Wanshan's words were unpleasant, they were the truth. However, Zheng Yuelin still looked at Li Wanshan and said, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying that the Sea Exploring Sect will attack us? "
Li Wanshan was very disappointed in Zheng Yuelin. He didn't expect that Zheng Yuelin would be so stupid to ask such a question at a time like this. He looked at Zheng Yuelin and said, "Brother Zheng, if a war really breaks out in the Sword Spirit World in the future, what do you think the Sea Exploring Sect will choose? Will they choose a completely obedient subordinate or an ally who will only cooperate with them? Even if the Sea Exploring Sect doesn't attack you, are you sure you can survive this chaos? Once the Sword Spirit World is in chaos, all the forces in the Sword Spirit World will be reshuffled. Do you really think you can do it? Even if you survive this chaos, do you think the Sea Exploring Sect will care about whether you are their ally or not? A large sect will always expand. Do you really think you can stop their path of expansion? "Zheng Yuelin was silent.
He knew that Li Wanshan was telling the truth, but he was still somewhat unwilling. He was the Sect Master of the Wind Soaring Sword Sect, yet he was being forced to surrender. Moreover, it wasn't an old sect like the Myriad Buddha Temple or the Tianyi Yi Sect that surrendered, but it was the Sea Exploring Sect that had been established for less than ten years. Although they had developed very quickly, could they really compare with the Myriad Buddha Temple's Tianyi Yi Sect? If they could really compare with the Myriad Buddha Temple's Tianyi Dao Sect, then they probably wouldn't have come to persuade him to surrender.
If Li Wanshan knew what Zheng Yuelin was thinking, then he might have spat out a mouthful of blood. He kindly persuaded Zheng Yuelin to surrender because he didn't want them to suffer any losses. He didn't expect Zheng Yuelin to think like this in the end. He really didn't know what to say.
The more Zheng Yuelin thought about it, the more unwilling he became. In the end, he glanced at Li Wanshan and said, "Brother Li, I still need to think about what you said. Let's not talk about this today. Let's talk about something else."
Li Wanshan looked at Zheng Yuelin and said, "No need. I have already said what I wanted to say today. I don't think I need to stay any longer. Brother Zheng, let me give you a piece of advice. You better not tell anyone what I told you today. Otherwise, no one will be able to protect you. Goodbye." After saying that, he stood up and cupped his fist towards Zheng Yuelin before turning around and leaving.
