After an hour of discussion, the meeting hall finally fell into silence. After a long while, Qing Yun sighed and left the hall.
Yan Pan and Yin Xuan's eyes were filled with sorrow. They never expected Qing Yun to be so pessimistic.
Helplessly, Yan Pan pulled Zhou Yang out of the hall and asked, "Zhou Yang, be honest. What do you know? Why do you think we will lose?"
Zhou Yang was silent for a long while before he said, "Peak Lord, let me ask you. What are our chances of winning according to what the old peak lord said?"
"Zhou Yang, to tell you the truth, Senior Brother Qing Yun is already at the Heavenly Dipper Realm. Even if he can't gain the upper hand against the Monster King, as long as he takes out the Seven-Star Sword, his chances of winning are at least sixty percent," Yan Pan said confidently.
"Heavenly Dipper Realm." Zhou Yang was surprised. "What if Qing Huo makes a move?"
"Fifty percent!" Yin Xuan said.
Zhou Yang nodded and didn't say anything else.
"Zhou Yang, why aren't you saying anything? Is fifty percent still low? It's not like we will lose for sure." Yan Pan said unhappily.
"Peak Lord, what if I tell you that the Monster King isn't actually the strongest? There are existences that are many times stronger than the Monster King. Do you think we still have a chance of winning?"
Yan Pan and Yin Xuan were stunned. After a long while, Yin Xuan said, "Zhou Yang, how did you know that?"
"Actually, everyone knows. They just ignored him. I've seen them before …"
"You mean that black cat?" Yan Pan frowned.
"That's right. Back in Headwind Valley, I saw it with my own eyes. The Monster King was merely the black cat's lackey. The terrifying blood cloud was also formed by the black cat in Headwind Valley."
The two fell silent. After a long while, Yan Pan said, "Junior Brother Yin, we have no time to lose. Let's quickly disperse the disciples."
After saying that, the rock plate quickly left, leaving Yin Xuan with a sigh.
"Senior, in our opinion, you should all leave. The Monster King won't stay for long. Once they leave, we will make a comeback." Zhou Yang looked at Yin Xuan.
Yin Xuan smiled and looked at Zhou Yang, "Zhou Yang, if someone stood at your door with a butcher's knife, would you leave?"
Zhou Yang was stumped by this question. Back in the Jiangnan County, he had fought against the Xu Clan's Patriarch, who was at the Gold Star Realm, in front of the gates of the General's Mansion when he was at the Fire Star Realm. Wasn't it for the sake of protecting his home?
To Yin Xuan, Yan Pan, and the others, the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect was their home. They would not leave.
With this in mind, Zhou Yang did not continue persuading him. He only said, "What about Yu Guihai and company? Why haven't I seen them today?"
Yin Xuan sneered and said, "They … They have long gone to enjoy glory and wealth. Why would they care about the life and death of the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect?"
"Imperial City?" Zhou Yang asked, puzzled.
TJ looked at it: "Version X, Chapter II …"
"That's right. Before you came back, Long Jue, Yu Guihai, Hanyue, and company left the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect. They even took the Phoenix Ritual Sword with them …"
Zhou Yang frowned and said, "Sect Leader also agreed?"
"You know the Sect Leader's temper. He would never force them to stay. As for the Phoenix Ritual Sword, Long Jue is the third prince after all. The Sect Leader gave the royal family some face, but …"
Speaking up to this point, Yin Xuan sighed again. "I'm afraid that the Sect Leader's momentary soft-heartedness will cause you a lot of trouble. That Ye Zhining …"
"Peak Lord, you are too serious. Do you really think that I would care about Ye Zhining? So what if her Star Soul has evolved?" Zhou Yang said indifferently.
Yin Xuan was startled, then laughed out loud. "You are right. Ye Zhining's breadth of mind has determined that he will not be your match. I overestimated him."
Zhou Yang also smiled. Suddenly, he thought of Yin Yao and told Yin Xuan about what happened on Phoenix Perching Island.
Yin Xuan was furious. He clearly did not expect Long Jue to be so deranged.
"Zhou Yang, I will inform the Sect Leader and Palace Mistress Shu Hua of this matter. Unless our Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect is truly beyond redemption, even if Long Jue returns to the Imperial City, we will seek justice from the royal family."
After speaking, Yin Xuan turned and walked back to the main hall. Immediately after, Zhou Yang heard Shu Hua's angry voice.
Zhou Yang did not participate in this. He only needed to inform Shu Hua and the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect of this matter.
After returning to his temporary residence, Zhou Yang saw his fellow disciples of Heavy Sword Peak. The casualties of Heavy Sword Peak were much better than what he had imagined. At least those who were on good terms with him were only lightly injured.
However, everyone's expressions were very ugly. The reason was because Rock Pan had just come over.
"Why should we leave? Do you think we are afraid of death?" Rock Pan roared angrily.
"That's right. The Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect is my home. Even if I die, I will die here."
"Fellow Junior Brothers, please calm down. The Peak Lord only wants me to leave temporarily. After all, the following battle is not something we can participate in," Gai Yang said in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Gai Yang is right. If we stay here, we will only be a burden to the Elders and Peak Lords. Why don't we leave temporarily and let the Elders and Peak Lords do as they please?" Zhang Kuo said.
"Wrong …"
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside. Yin Yao walked in with Qi Xiu and many female disciples of the Mirror Lake Palace.
"Miss Yin Yao?" Gai Yang was puzzled.
Yin Yao looked at Zhou Yang for a long time before saying, "Zhou Yang, tell us, is the sect really unable to survive this calamity?"
"Yes, Zhou Yang, you are the only one who came with the Peak Lord to the meeting hall. Tell us the truth," Rock Pan shouted.
Zhou Yang had been silent. He had the same thought as Qing Yun. He did not want any unnecessary sacrifices. However, from another perspective, this was also a kind of deception.
Was it really good to trick them to leave the mountain? Perhaps they would prefer to die in battle in the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect.
Many times, young people were indifferent to life and death because they had hot blood in their hearts …
"Zhou Yang, I can see the truth from your eyes. The Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect is really unable to escape this calamity, right?" Yin Yao's eyes were filled with tears. After saying this, her tears fell like rain.
Zhou Yang took a deep breath, then looked at the crowd and said, "You guessed right. This time, the enemy of the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect is much stronger than we imagined. If we stay, we will die. If we leave, we still have a chance of survival."
"Zhou Yang, are you saying that we are afraid of death?" Rock Pan roared.
"It is not shameful to be afraid of death, but I know that none of you are afraid. However, is it worth the pointless sacrifice? If you think it is worth it, then stay. "Zhou Yang looked at Rock Pan and said.
"I only ask you, will you stay?" Gai Yang suddenly said.
Zhou Yang nodded, then sat cross-legged.
"Zhou Yang, you have only been in the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect for half a year. In this half a year, you have faced many life-threatening situations, but you still chose to stay.
