Zhong Shudao's expression was calm. He did not retort to the crowd's reprimand and only looked at Seijen.
This was because he knew that everyone in Tu Shenzong would naturally listen to his words. However, if he wanted to convince the people of the East Sea, he had to get Seijen to personally say it.
Judging from the current situation, it seemed like even Yi Jian and Ye Qing were on the same side as Seijen.
"They are right. With the Darkness Sect's strength, why would they need to scheme against us?" Seijen snorted coldly and said impatiently, "I only want you, Zhong Shudao, to say one thing. Are you going to protect the citizens, or continue to 'prioritize the bigger picture'?"
The atmosphere in the hall became extremely cold. Seijen had already given the final warning.
Prince Namgong and the rest were extremely nervous. After all, with their current strength, the only ones who could fight against the Darkness Sect were Seijen and the remaining four Island Masters of the East Sea.
"Holy Island Master, please listen to me before you make your final decision," Zhong Shudao shook his head and spoke his thoughts without waiting for Seijen's reply.
"Holy Island Master has already said that with the Darkness Sect's strength, why would they need to scheme against us?"
"The three territories only have three million soldiers and ten million citizens. If the Darkness Sect wanted to conquer the three territories, would they need to go through so much trouble and get Zhao Lifeng to attack the villages first?" Zhong Shudao said something that he had been puzzled about. Everyone quietened down and listened to Zhong Shudao's words carefully.
"Holy Island Master, you have fought with Zhao Lifeng before. I believe you are very clear about his strength." Zhong Shudao did not hold back and continued, "If Zhao Lifeng leads an army of a million androids to attack any of the cities in the three regions, let me ask you, Shudao, who here can stop him?"
"That's true …"
"Holy Island Master did not seem to be able to defeat Zhao Lifeng previously …"
For a moment, the rest of the people were also staring at each other and discussing in low voices.
Seijen did not get angry and gestured for Zhong Shudao to continue.
"Why did the Darkness Sect set a three-day appointment? Although there might be some tricks that we don't understand, Lord Lin Yun has taught me before. "
"The best strategy is to attack the mind!"
"The reason why the Dark Sect is doing this might be because they want to figure out the location of our Tu Shenzong headquarters, then capture Tu Shenzong, Donghai, and all of us in one fell swoop, eliminating us completely!"
At this point, Zhong Shudao no longer cared about the faces of both parties. He pointed at Sheng Ren's nose and berated, "Sacred Island Lord, your name is Sheng Ren. Perhaps you really want to be a Sage!"
"However, I, Zhong Shudao, am different from you. What I carry on my back, and what every Tu Shenzong member in the hall carries right now, is Lord Lin Yun's trust in us!"
Zhong Shudao changed the topic and looked at Yi Jian. He said coldly, "Yi Jian, you and I have known each other for a long time. You know very well what kind of person I am!"
"In the past, when Lord Lin Yun conquered the Northeast Region, he handed the entire Northeast Region to you personally."
"If you hand over the God Slayer token now, are you worthy of Lord Lin Yun's trust in you?"
"Brother Zhong …"
"Envoy Zhong …"
When Prince Namgong and the man in the mirror saw that Zhong Shudao's eyes were bloodshot, they could not help but feel worried.
However, Zhong Shudao did not stop. He looked around at everyone from Donghai and said coldly, "If it wasn't for Lord Lin Yun, would you guys still be able to defend Donghai until today?"
"If it wasn't for Lord Lin Yun, would you, Seijen, be able to become a Wu Sheng today?"
"If it wasn't for Lord Lin Yun, the East Region! The North Region! The people of the Northeast Region are already wailing in pain! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Shudao's body suddenly turned sluggish. He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood from anger. Then, he fell backward and fainted instantly.
"Old Zhong!"
"Brother Zhong!"
"Envoy Zhong!"
The man in the mirror exclaimed when he saw this. He quickly stepped forward and caught Zhong Shudao's body.
"Envoy Mirror, how is Brother Zhong?" Everyone asked anxiously. They were afraid that something might have happened to Zhong Shudao.
"He's fine. Recently, he has been too tired and has not rested for a long time. Now that his Qi and blood have attacked his heart, he just fainted. He just needs to rest for a while." The man in the mirror shook his head and asked Nangong and the others to bring Envoy Zhong away to rest.
At the same time, everyone from Donghai's face turned gloomy.
Although Zhong Shudao's words were hurtful, they were true. They did not know how to refute him.
Seijen's dashing eyebrows were almost squeezed together. He clenched his fists tightly. No one knew what he was thinking.
At that moment, the Great Elder of Saint Island, Liu Yi, walked to Seijen's side and advised him softly. "Island Lord, Envoy Zhong's words are not unreasonable. This might really be a conspiracy of the Darkness Sect. You have to reconsider!"
However, before Seijen could reply, a voice suddenly rang in Seijen's ears.
"Holy Island Lord! Don't forget why we're here. It's for the people of Donghai and the people of the three regions. You must persevere. No matter what, the Northeast Region will be with you! "
The person who said this was Ye Qing.
Yi Jian was already dumbfounded at the side. Zhong Shudao's criticism of him kept echoing in his mind.
"Who do you think you are! How dare you … "Liu Yi flew into a rage. Just as he was about to flare up, a large hand grabbed his wrist without warning.
Liu Yi was shocked as he stared at the face in front of him in horror.
Although he had seen this face for hundreds of years and they were extremely familiar with each other, why did he feel so unfamiliar now?
"Since when did you become Zhong Shudao's lackey? The death of Second Brother and the rest! The death of the people of Saint Island! And you're asking me to reconsider? "Seijen's face darkened, and his eyes were filled with disgust.
"Island Lord …" Liu Yi had a pained expression on his face as he continued, "Second Brother and the rest died so that we can destroy the Darkness Sect one day!"
"The lives of these millions of people are lives, but aren't the lives of millions of soldiers?"
"Our only chance now is to wait for Sect Master Lin's …"
Before Liu Yi could finish his sentence, Seijen slapped his face and shouted furiously, "Scram! Saint Island doesn't have a coward like you. Since you've become a member of Donghai, you have to disregard life and death! "
Then, Seijen turned around and looked at the person in the mirror. "Since Zhong Shudao isn't here, you'll make the decision!"
"Regardless of whether Sect Master Lin returns in the future or if there are any problems in the future, I, Seijen, will bear all the consequences!"
"I'll give you two choices now. One, bring the people of the three regions into the headquarters, and we can continue to bide our time and wait for Sect Master Lin's return!"
"Two, East Sea officially announces our withdrawal from the East Sea Alliance. I'll lead my troops to fight the Darkness Sect in the three regions!"
