Although it was only one spot, it was already very good for these aristocratic families. After all, it was almost impossible for them to place in the top three based on their current strength.
Therefore, even though the grand competition had yet to begin, they could already predict that they would not be able to place in the top three.
If they had followed the previous rules, they would only be able to watch as the top three families entered the Dead Zone. But now, even though there was only one spot, they at least had the right to enter the Dead Zone.
Furthermore, Situ Yuanxiong had also mentioned that as long as they were willing, they could allow their descendants to follow them into the Dead Zone to train.
If that was the case, they would still be able to guarantee their safety even if they sent a single descendant into the Dead Zone.
If they were to force them to hand over two spots for each family, they would not care so much. Thinking about it, even twenty of them felt that it was extremely dangerous. How dangerous would it be if there were only two of them?
Those who were able to enter the Dead Zone were naturally the most outstanding members of their families. Even if they were not the most outstanding, they would still be the most outstanding members of their families.
If they were to enter the Dead Zone without the protection of the Three Great Families, it would be a great loss to the families if they were to die in there. When that time comes, they would really be shooting themselves in the foot.
Therefore, after considering all these factors, they decided that one spot was one spot. At least this way, their relationship with the Three Great Families would not become strained. Furthermore, with their protection, even if they only had one spot, they would still be able to obtain many opportunities and resources in the Dead Zone.
Especially as the Master of a family, he should not be so impulsive. Because they were now representing their own family, not just him alone.
Therefore, when they saw Dongfang Hong's reaction, they were actually quite happy. No matter what, they had already received tangible benefits. If Dongfang Hong were to be so stubborn, he would be leading the Dongfang Family into the gutter.
Think about it, if a genius descendant were to emerge from the Dongfang Family, they would have been able to make a name for themselves in the grand competition. However, now that he had messed things up, they might not even be able to participate in the grand competition. Wouldn't that be harming their own people?
Therefore, even if Dongfang Hong was so stupid, they would not risk the fate of their families for him.
At this moment, there was still one person in the great hall who had yet to express his opinion. It was the Master of the Chen Family, Chen Tianxing. Faced with this situation, he felt very helpless.
It was precisely because these fellows were not united that the situation became like this in the end. Seeing how these people were bootlicking the three great clans, he couldn't help but despise them in his heart.
At this moment, he didn't say anything because he didn't want to lose his dignity like these people.
Although everyone gathered here today for the sake of benefits, he would not sell his soul and smile at others for the sake of benefits.
"Masters, I'm not feeling well, so I'll take my leave first!" Chen Tianxing didn't want to stay here any longer, so he found an excuse to leave.
"Humph! You don't know how to appreciate favors! "Situ Yuanxiong said disdainfully as he watched Chen Tianxing leave.
"Patriarch Situ, there's no need to lower yourself to their level. Wouldn't it be better if they really withdrew from the Nine Clans Grand Tournament? At that time, you can have a few more people enter the Dead Domain! "Jiang Tianyi said with a smile.
"That's true, but I'm afraid they're just joking. We'll know tomorrow. I really don't believe that the Dongfang Family and the Chen Family won't participate in the Grand Competition!" Situ Yuanxiong sneered.
Chen Tianxing didn't care what they were saying about him. Without any hesitation, he left the Lord Hall of the Nangong Family.
As soon as he left the main hall, he saw a familiar person standing by the lotus pond.
"Brother Dongfang seems to be in a good mood. You're actually in the mood to appreciate the lotuses here?" Chen Tianxing walked over and said with a smile.
"Why? Brother Tianxing, did you also fall out with them? "Dongfang Hong asked curiously when he saw Chen Tianxing.
He felt that Chen Tianxing still had some backbone when it came to the people inside. At the very least, Chen Tianxing had spoken up for him several times. However, he didn't think that Chen Tianxing would stand on his side.
Furthermore, he had just come out in a fit of anger, which meant that he had completely fallen out with the three great families. He knew that he had been a little impulsive, but he just couldn't accept it.
These great families controlled the Dead Domain, but they weren't willing to let them have a share. This was really unbearable for him. Situ Yuanxiong, in particular, was relying on the fact that the Situ Family was doing very well. He really thought that the Nine Great Families would respect him.
Humph! Although the Dongfang Family was starting to decline, they wouldn't be so willing to let the Situ Family ride on their heads.
However, although he was so impulsive, Chen Tianxing didn't seem to be such an impulsive person. Why did he follow him out?
"I'm not as carefree as Brother Dongfang. I just said goodbye to them in advance!" Chen Tianxing shook his head and said.
"Brother Tianxing, please don't make fun of me. I know that I look very stupid. However, there are some things that I can't say without saying them. Therefore, even though I know that it's very stupid, I still have to do it! "Dongfang Hong said helplessly.
"Brother Dongfang, are you really planning to give up on tomorrow's grand competition?" Chen Tianxing naturally understood Dongfang Hong's thoughts. However, he didn't approve of Dongfang Hong using an extreme method to solve the problem.
This was because there were too many interests involved. They wouldn't allow Dongfang Hong to do this for their own interests.
When that time came, those who were originally on Dongfang Hong's side would choose to leave him and might even become the common enemy of the other Seven Great Families. It wouldn't be worth it.
Chen Tianxing also saw that Dongfang Hong was a real man and didn't want to watch him do such a stupid thing.
"What do you think, Brother Tianxing? Do you think that it was just a joke? "Dongfang Hong looked at Chen Tianxing and smiled. He didn't seem to regret his actions at all.
"Whether it was a joke or not, I really hope that it was just a joke!" Chen Tianxing said seriously.
"Why do you say that?" Dongfang Hong didn't act so frivolously when he saw Chen Tianxing's serious expression. His expression also became serious.
"Although we didn't succeed in convincing them to give up two spots to the Six Great Families, they still chose to compromise in the end. At least we managed to fight for one spot. Although one spot is indeed very little, Situ Yuanxiong's words weren't wrong. It's better than nothing!
