"In that case, what do you intend to do, Envoy Zhong? Or are you going to stick to your own ideas? "Seijen frowned. He had not expected Zhong Shudao to be so calm.
"I still hope that the Sacred Island Lord will look at the bigger picture," Zhong Shudao said casually. Zhong Shudao said casually. In fact, Yun Ruoxi had already sent someone to inform him of what had happened in the Northeastern region. However, after discussing this matter with the man in the mirror, he finally discovered some discrepancies.
For example, given the strength of the Dark Sect, there was no need for them to attack the commoners.
Secondly, Zhao Lifeng's strength was above Seijen's, but Yun Ruoxi had said that Zhao Lifeng had only exchanged a punch with Seijen before escaping.
Coupled with some other suspicious matters, Zhong Shudao and the man in the mirror agreed that what the Dark Sect had done the previous night was to expose the location of Tu Shenzong's headquarters.
"Look at the bigger picture?" Before Seijen could say anything, Yi Jian, who was standing beside him, suddenly stepped forward.
Yi Jian's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Zhong Shudao and said word by word, "My son is dead!"
These five simple words contained immense sorrow, pain, and hatred.
Zhong Shudao was stunned. He had already heard this news from Yun Ruoxi, but it was a different feeling when he heard it from Yi Jian.
After a while, Zhong Shudao cupped his fists at Yi Jian and said, "My condolences!"
"My son is dead! You were only asking me to restrain my grief! Did the commoners of the Northeast Region, North Region, East Region, and East Sea all die? You only know how to restrain your grief? "Yi Jian clenched his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Zhong Shudao was about to speak, but the man in the mirror signaled him not to move. Instead, he stepped forward and looked at Yi Jian coldly. "Sect Master Yi, you have to know your place!"
"As the spokesperson of the Sect Master in the Northeast Region, you should put Tu Shenzong first!"
"Is this it?" After hearing the man in the mirror's words, Yi Jian suddenly smiled coldly and took out a token from his bosom.
As for that title plate, it was none other than the Godslayer Title Plate. Not only did it represent that person's identity, it also represented Lin Yun's trust in him.
"Sect Leader Yi, don't be rash." At this moment, Seijen suddenly shook his head and pulled Yi Jian's hand.
He understood the significance of this' Godslayer 'token. He also knew that there were less than five people in Tu Shenzong who had this token.
They had not come today to destroy the relationship between them, but for the safety of the people of the three regions and the East Sea.
"Envoy Zhong, you always say that the overall situation is the most important. Last night, hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers died!"
"Everyone here has experienced the cruel methods of the Dark Sect. I believe all of you know that the Dark Sect will definitely keep their word."
"They have already said that three days from now, the three regions will be bathed in blood. At such a critical juncture, could it be that Envoy Zhong still wants to prioritize the overall situation?" Ye Qing's timely words resonated with everyone in the hall.
Everyone was whispering to each other, discussing this matter.
"When Sect Master Lin was still alive …" Ye Qing was about to continue when he realized that he had said the wrong thing when he realized that he had said something wrong. He hurriedly corrected himself. "Sect Master Lin was also known for his benevolence in the past. Now, millions of people cannot live in peace."
"I really don't understand. Now that Envoy Zhong holds the power of Tu Shenzong, you are using the 'overall situation' as an excuse to close the country and ignore millions of people. Are you tarnishing Lord Lin Yun's name?"
"Ye Qing! What do you mean! "
"Are you trying to drive a wedge between us?"
"Envoy Zhong has always been loyal to me, Tu Shenzong. What do you mean by this?"
Ye Qing's verbal sparring enraged Prince Namgong and the others.
Ever since Zhong Shudao had joined Tu Shenzong, he had been loyal to Tu Shenzong. At such a critical moment, he had shouldered the great responsibility of Tu Shenzong all by himself. Ye Qing actually dared to doubt Zhong Shudao. This made them bristle with anger.
Sheng Ren patted Ye Qing's shoulder, indicating for him to step back. Then, he stepped forward and stared at Zhong Shu. "We do not doubt Envoy Zhong. However, the Darkness Sect has already issued a challenge. If we do not fight, what should the millions of people in the three domains do?" Sheng Ren patted Ye Qing's shoulder, indicating for him to step back. Then, he stepped forward and stared at Zhong Shu.
"It is not only the Holy Island Lord who is worried about the safety of the people. Shudao, I grew up in the northeast region and was born there …"
"It is not my intention to watch my fellow countrymen die …" Zhong Shudao sighed, his eyes filled with exhaustion.
Over the past few days, he hadn't closed his eyes at all. Every day, his ears were filled with battle reports from all directions.
Only now did he understand how difficult it was to become the leader of a sect.
He did not have Lin Yun's strength, nor did he have Lin Yun's boldness.
How could he not know that Seijen and the others had come here today to "force" him to abdicate? And he was powerless to do anything about it.
He could not help but think that if this included Lin Yun, Seijen and the others would not have dared to say such words.
"Zhong Shudao! You promised Old Immortal that you would protect the safety of the common people! "
"It is precisely because of this that Old Xian is willing to die. If you go back on your word today! I, Ling Mengbai, will be the first to not let you off! "
And Zhong Shudao's hesitant attitude had thoroughly angered the other island lords from the East Sea.
The six island lords had a deep friendship, and Ling Mengbai and Daoist Sanxian were even more intimate.
Earlier on, they'd been rather disapproving of Zhong Shudao's decision to leave behind Death Warriors and cause Daoist Three Immortals to die. Now, Zhong Shudao seemed to intend to disregard the lives of millions of commoners, so how could they remain calm?
"Brother Zhong … why don't we let the people enter the sect as well?" At this moment, Prince Namgong frowned and walked to Zhong Shudao's side when he saw that the crowd had already gone berserk.
"Millions of people are not just one or two lives. With the Dark Sect's methods, they will definitely do what they promised …"
No matter how cruel they were and how many deaths they had seen, they could not ignore the lives of millions of people.
And how could Zhong Shudao not understand this logic?
"Everyone! Quiet down. "After hesitating for a while, Zhong Shudao raised his hands and signaled for the crowd to quiet down.
After waiting for the crowd to calm down, Zhong Shudao walked to Seijen and said patiently, "Holy Island Lord, you only saw the tragic deaths of hundreds of thousands of people last night. Have you ever thought that this might be a conspiracy by the Dark Sect?"
"Conspiracy?"
"Bullsh * t! There's no conspiracy! "
"With the Dark Sect's strength, what kind of conspiracy would they need to kill us all? Are you kidding us? "
After hearing Zhong Shudao's words, the rest of the people were not satisfied. They started cursing and scolding him.
