The disciples of the Grand Mystery Sect and the high-level Cultivators of the major sects all gathered close. Some were filled with indignation, some were concerned, and some put on a mysterious, noncommittal expression.
"Elder Huang, what did the Heaven Resounding Guild and the Flying Leopard Palace say?"
Gloomily, Qi Zhongdao asked an elder of the Grand Mystery Sect, "When can the food be gathered and shipped to us on the flying boats?"
"About that?"
Elder Huang coughed pretentiously and said, "The Heaven Resounding Guild and the Flying Leopard Palace have both been scourged by the natural disaster. It is said that they suffered heavy losses, too. A lot of disaster victims have gone to them. The most important thing right now is to settle the disaster victims who have come to their door. Of course, considering the relationship between the two sects and the Grand Mystery Sect, they will certainly provide food if they can. Those who can contribute have promised that they are trying their best to collect food, medicine, and warm clothes. As long as Roaring Tiger Hall provides a small batch of assets first, their reinforcements will arrive in a couple of days."
"A couple of days?"
Qi Zhongdao burst into fury. "In a couple of days, the disaster relief assets of the six major sects will arrive. Why do we need them? Also, what about the other Cultivation sects in the West River State and the ten or so states nearby? Didn't we send someone to invite the managers of those sects to Roaring Tiger City to discuss the great plan of disaster relief and exorcism together? Why is there not a single leader in sight?"
"So that the grand leader knows," Elder Huang said helplessly.
Elder Huang said helplessly, "Since yesterday, the disciples of the Grand Mystery Sect have been running to dozens of sects. However, I'm sure that the grand leader knows the situation of those sects very well. The city is too small to withstand the storm. It is said that they suffered a lot of losses in the natural disasters. They can barely take care of themselves right now. How can they spare any time to discuss the matter?"
"However, now that the grand leader has spoken in person, those sects will naturally follow your lead. They have all agreed that as long as the big sects such as Roaring Tiger Hall, the Heaven Resounding Guild, and the Flying Leopard Palace provide a batch of assets first, they will be able to sort through the mess and provide a large number of assets.
"Natural calamity, natural calamity, natural calamity, all of them are using natural calamity as an excuse. No matter how powerful the flood and the febrile typhoon are, can they destroy all the sects within a radius of thousands of kilometers?"
Qi Zhongdao was shaking in fury. Pointing at a place on the sandbox that was full of hills and mountains, he said, "In the Green Cloud Mountain to the south of the West River State, there are neither febrile typhoons nor floods. Why don't the few Cultivation sects entrenched in the Green Cloud Mountain offer money and food?"
Elder Huang blinked his eyes. "This, this …" After a long time, he hesitated. < br >
Qi Zhongdao looked around and said in a voice as cold as ice, "Speak!"
Elder Huang gritted his teeth and said, "Reporting to Supreme Sect Master, the largest sect in the Emerald Cloud Mountains, the Green Peak Sect, said that although they didn't suffer a calamity, they have recently had many conflicts with the second largest sect in the Emerald Cloud Mountains, the Spirit Cloud Sect. The Spirit Cloud Sect is arrogant, despotic, and ambitious, and will have the intention to annex them at any time."
"At this time, if the Qingfeng Sect takes out a large amount of resources to help the victims, I'm afraid that the Spirit Cloud Sect will catch up with them. At that time, when the Spirit Cloud Sect starts a large-scale slaughter, how will the Qingfeng Sect resist?"
"Therefore, the Green Peak Sect can offer money, food, and people, but the Spirit Cloud Sect must offer first. However much the Spirit Cloud Sect offers, the Green Peak Sect will offer as much as the Spirit Cloud Sect offers. Not a single copper coin or grain of rice will be left behind."
"Hehe."
Qi Zhongdao narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "What about the Spirit Cloud Sect? They won't say that they want the Green Peak Sect to offer first, and they will offer as much as the Green Peak Sect offers, right?"
"That's not it," Elder Huang said.
Elder Huang said, "According to the Spiritual Cloud Sect, banditry has been frequent in the Azure Cloud Mountain area recently. There are traces of many Black Fiend School murderers. Obviously, they want to take advantage of the chaos caused by the natural disaster to burn, kill, and loot."
"Supreme Sect Master and all the fellow cultivators know that the Black Fiend School is an evil cult that wreaks havoc in the thirteen southeastern provinces. They traffic human beings, refine smoke, kill, loot, and commit all kinds of crimes. However, their whereabouts are unpredictable, and they are very powerful. Many sects have suffered at the hands of the Black Fiend School. Sometimes, an entire fleet of flying ships will be robbed by the Black Fiend School, and even their skin and bones will disappear without a trace.
"The Black Fiend School is not to be underestimated and is not something that the forces such as the Spirit Cloud Sect and the Green Peak Sect can resist. Therefore, they can only strengthen their defenses and do not dare to act recklessly. Even if they do raise a large number of assets, won't it be even worse if the Black Fiend School loots them on the way?
"All in all, all in all, grand leader, forgive me for saying something that I shouldn't say, but right now, the local bullies in the southeast are all waiting for the result in Roaring Tiger City. If we can open a gap in Roaring Tiger Hall and ask them to offer a large number of assets, it will be easy for the other sects to negotiate with them."
"If we suffer setbacks in Roaring Tiger Hall, it will naturally be more difficult for the other sects to do the same. "Yes.
Those sects are not as wealthy and influential as Roaring Tiger Hall. If we approach them, they will certainly have no choice but to open their gates obediently. However, we are not justified in attacking them. Secondly, it is easy to open their gates, but it will be extremely difficult to find the assets that they have been hiding. Those local magnates who have been working hard for a hundred years must have a few secret treasuries in their home. "
Elder Huang's words made Qi Zhongdao, a top expert at the peak of the Yuanying Stage, feel that his chest was heaving quickly for a long time. It was not until then that he finally turned his eyes to Li Yao and the other leaders of the Cultivators.
"Everybody."
Qi Zhongdao's voice was mixed with fury and excitement. He tried to suppress his fury and said in a hoarse voice, "This is the situation right now. If we cannot gather enough food, countless disaster victims will die. After thousands of disaster victims die, Mother White Lotus will obtain an army of ghouls that are full of hatred without any effort. Not only will the army of ghouls ravage the southeast and ruin the farmlands that are not affected by the disaster, it is also possible that they will attack East Peace County, the most famous city in the southeast. The world will be shocked, and all the evildoers will rise. In the end, nobody in the world of Cultivators will benefit from it.
"Therefore, on the surface, it is just a disaster in the southeast, but in fact, the entire world of Cultivators is about to fall into chaos. None of you here can get away from it.
"In order to resolve the crisis, we must persuade Roaring Tiger Hall to open the warehouse and release the food. However, Roaring Tiger Hall is so heartless and heartless. Fellow Cultivators, let's talk about how we should deal with such a sect that does not care about the big picture of the world of Cultivators."
After hearing that, the leadership of the Cultivators whispered to each other. < >
A lot of people were criticizing Roaring Tiger Hall for not helping the victims and declaring that the Cultivators were supposed to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens and help the people. Leaving so many disaster victims without helping them showed that they did not have the slightest compassion. It was a disgrace to the name of 'righteous sects'.
Some other people were shouting, saying that since Roaring Tiger Hall did not show any respect to the heroes of the world of Cultivators, they should not be blamed for the thunderous attack. They should smash Roaring Tiger Hall's head and force them to release the food.
Some other people said that it was not very appropriate. It was true that Roaring Tiger Hall was a bit cruel and heartless, but it was not out of line after all, and it was not a heinous evil.
For the Cultivators, it was their duty to slay evil. However, Roaring Tiger Hall was neither evil nor evil. Duan Yuanwu did have a point. The land was Roaring Tiger Hall's land, and the food was Roaring Tiger Hall's food. Was it really a crime to slaughter the entire sect if they did not want to provide relief for the disaster victims?
Some older Cultivators who were more experienced than them pondered for a moment and said that the problem could not be resolved by breaking into the headquarters of Roaring Tiger Hall. With the wisdom of the Duans, they must've hidden all the stored food and assets in their secret warehouses. It was impossible for them to be found by outsiders in such a hurry.
If they broke into the headquarters and killed countless disciples of Roaring Tiger Hall, they would not be able to find any food at all. Instead, it would be a 'fact' that Roaring Tiger Hall's warehouse was on fire and all the assets had been burnt to the ground. What would the major sects do then? Would they not be bandits who fought openly?
Getting to the bottom of it, what qualifications did they have to attack the headquarters of Roaring Tiger Hall? Right now, the new emperor 'Emperor Phoenix' had just been crowned. Nobody knew the personality and temperament of the emperor yet. It was not very appropriate for them to take action first and report later at such a moment.
Everybody discussed for a long time but failed to come to a conclusion. At this moment, a Cultivator at the back of the crowd said, "Fellow Cultivators, you are all talking nonsense after all. It doesn't matter what you say. The most important thing is that the Tiger Apparitions Array and the hundred Crouching Tiger Cannons and the Gold Crow Crossbows of Roaring Tiger Hall seem rather sophisticated. I'm afraid that only real experts can crack the array."
Everybody looked at the source of the voice, only to discover that it was Bu Tiantong, the leader of the Gold Armor Clan.
Bu Tiantong wriggled his wrinkled face and declared angrily that it was the responsibility of the Cultivators to help the weak and rescue the common people. Now that the natural disasters had arrived, and it was the time for the Cultivators to show their skills. At such a critical moment, Roaring Tiger Hall's shameless, heartless, and unhelpful behavior was a disgrace to the true meaning of 'Cultivators'. He could not tolerate it at all.
The so-called 'Tiger Apparitions Array' seemed rather shocking at first, but in his eyes, it was not necessarily as impressive as it seemed.
If he had not been heavily wounded in the Dragon Spring Meeting three months ago by Master Spiritual Vulture, who was known as the 'Grandmaster of Great Zhou' and was said to have awed the southwest, no, the entire Great Qian Dynasty, and had not recovered from his wounds even after three months of rest, he would have broken the array a long time ago. How could the clowns of Roaring Tiger Hall be so arrogant in front of Master Spiritual Vulture, the Grandmaster of Great Zhou?
