Cheng Yu's words caused all the sect masters to be stunned. Obviously, they had never expected that Cheng Yu would ask such a question in such a situation. It truly caused them to be at a loss.
However, Cheng Yu's question had also caused them to be stumped.
If Cheng Yu really refused to let them enter the secular world, then what would they choose?
Would they choose to submit to the Mysterious Sky Sect or fight to the death with the Mysterious Sky Sect?
At that time, the strength of the Mysterious Sky Sect was terrifying. Not to mention their sects, even the other three hidden sects had to abandon their sects and flee.
In such a situation, if they chose to go to war with the Mysterious Sky Sect, the result would be needless to say. There would only be one result for their sect, and that was to be destroyed by the Mysterious Sky Sect.
As a sect leader, the sect was not his own property. It was the painstaking efforts of countless ancestors from generation to generation to develop the sect to its current state and achievements.
Therefore, if they were to lead the sect to fight to the death with the Mysterious Sky Sect and destroy the sect, it was a decision that a sect leader like them would not dare to make. At the very least, they did not want to become the sinners of the sect.
Since no one is willing to say it, then I will say it Cheng Yu saw the embarrassment on these people's faces. When Cheng Yu saw the awkwardness on their faces, all of them remained silent and refused to speak first, he could only speak first.
Without waiting for the sect leaders to respond, Cheng Yu spoke again.
Actually, this is a very simple logical question. If you did not come to my Cheng family, there would only be two results.
If you choose to fight to the death with the Mysterious Sky Sect, needless to say, you will definitely not be a match for the Mysterious Sky Sect. Even if you are not destroyed by the Mysterious Sky Sect, there will definitely not be many left.
If you choose to compromise with the Mysterious Sky Sect, then you can only be annexed by them.
However, you should understand what happened to so many sects that were annexed by the Mysterious Sky Sect in the end.
Almost all of them became cannon fodder for the Mysterious Sky Sect to fight against other sects and in the end, they were all destroyed.
So your ending is no different from these two. No matter which one it is, I'm sure you don't want to see it. Cheng Yu said as he looked at these people.
Everyone fell silent again because they knew that Cheng Yu was not trying to scare them. What he said was the truth and everyone knew that this was the case. Therefore, this was also the reason why they came to the secular world to look for Cheng Yu in the first place.
"In truth, my Cheng Family was entrenched in the secular world, and it was the safest place in the world. I can totally sit back and watch as the Black Heaven Sect annihilates all of you in one fell swoop. Then, I will step forward and defeat the Black Heaven Sect. The entire world will be under my control.
But why didn't I do that? Not only did I let you come to the secular world to seek refuge, I even helped you rebuild your sect in the secular world. Cheng Yu asked.
"Please speak clearly, Patriarch!" Taoist Vasp Caelo said.
"I believe everyone still remembers the incident where I led the Cheng Family to annihilate Kunlun," Cheng Yu didn't reply them directly. Instead, he changed the topic to Kunlun.
When everyone heard Cheng Yu's words, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Back then, Kun Lun was the leader of the righteous sects, leading the righteous sects in the cultivation world. When Cheng Yu wanted to annihilate Kunlun, he had also announced it to the world.
Almost everyone knew when Cheng Yu planned to annihilate Kunlun. Therefore, almost all the sects in the world had headed over to Kunlun to watch this sect annihilation battle.
Now that they thought about it, they still couldn't help but shudder at the situation at that time. The sect leaders couldn't help but shiver in their hearts.
For Cheng Yu to say such words to them at this time, could it be that he was warning them?
"Of course I remember. Who hasn't seen the Patriarch's majesty back then? The Patriarch's prestige spread throughout the world "Ling Fei said with a smile.
"I just want to tell you that I, Cheng Yu, have always been a person who doesn't offend me. Back then, the only ones who had enmity with me were Kunlun and the Mysterious Sky Sect.
Although many of your sects didn't even have any dealings with me back then, there was never any conflict between us.
Since I'm not an enemy, then there's no need for me to watch you get exterminated by the Mysterious Sky Sect. What's more, some of the sects even have some friendship with me, so it's even more impossible for me to just stand by and let you fend for yourselves.
All these years, the Mysterious Sky Sect, this external threat, has long been eliminated by me. Without any external enemies, everyone's development has also entered the right track.
Compared to when everyone first came to the secular world, I believe only you, the sect leaders, know the situation of the various sects better. "Cheng Yu said indifferently.
"I'm very grateful to the Patriarch for his support to our sects over the years. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to recover from the chaos of the cultivation world in such a short period of time and even continue to get better" Tianshan Sect's Yu Lingzi said.
"Sect Leader Yu Ling is right. If it wasn't for the help and support of the Patriarch, many of our sects would have ceased to exist long ago.
All these years in the secular world, with the support of the Patriarch, our Flying Sand Gang has developed much better than when we were in the cultivation world. This is all thanks to the Patriarch. Our Flying Sand Gang firmly believes that under the Patriarch's support and leadership, we will definitely develop even better "The Flying Sand Gang's Sect Leader Wu Sha also said.
Many of the sect leaders saw Wu Sha flattering Cheng Yu in front of everyone and had different thoughts in their hearts.
"Patriarch, we are all very grateful for your kindness to our sects" Soon, many of the sects also spoke up to express their stance.
Although they didn't understand why Cheng Yu would talk to them about this on such an occasion, they felt that there was a hidden meaning in Cheng Yu's words.
However, it had to be said that if it wasn't for Cheng Yu's help and allowing them to establish a foothold in the secular world, many of their sects might have already ceased to exist.
From this point of view, they should indeed thank Cheng Yu.
"Thank you, Patriarch, for your help" Many of the sect leaders had no choice but to express their stance.
"The reason why I helped you is not so that you can thank me. I just want you to understand a principle.
Although I helped you in the past, I also signed a contract with you. So from a certain point of view, my help to you can also be said to be a business deal.
But as a businessman, no matter which side we are on, we should respect the contract. This is the most basic spirit of a contract.
However, I know that now that there is no longer the threat of the Mysterious Sky Sect, many people have begun to feel that the contract between us is disadvantageous to you.
Some sects even think that it is because of this contract that you have been suppressed by my Cheng Family and there is no way for your sect to grow faster. "Cheng Yu said lightly.
Although Cheng Yu's words were very calm, for the sect leaders in front of him, their hearts were like raging waves.
They finally understood why Cheng Yu had said so many inexplicable words to them. Now, he had finally revealed Cheng Yu's true intentions.
His words clearly revealed his dissatisfaction with so many lower sects.
Especially those sects that were mentioned by Cheng Yu. The faces of these sect leaders were a bit more flustered and uneasy, and even unconcealable tension.
"Patriarch, our Flying Sand Gang has always been very grateful for your help. We have never had such thoughts." Wu Sha took the lead to explain again.
"Patriarch, our Mountain of Books is the same. If it wasn't for the patriarch's willingness to help us and help us rebuild the sect in the secular world, there would be no Mountain of Books today. Therefore, everyone in the Mountain of Books is grateful to the patriarch."
"Patriarch, our sect is also …" For a time, many sect leaders opened their mouths to explain, afraid that Cheng Yu would be dissatisfied with them.
"I have already said that I allow you to enter the secular world. This is originally a business deal. Since it is business, there is naturally no gratitude. Everyone is just a fair transaction.
Therefore, what my Cheng Family needs the most is not the gratitude of all the sects, but the respect for the contract, the most basic spirit of the contract.
I know that many sects think that we have to send talents to the Cheng Family every year. After so many years, it is my Cheng Family that owes you.
But you have to understand that this is the content of our original contract. Now that the threat of the Mysterious Sky Sect does not exist, do you think that this contract is meaningless?
Wrong!
This is the content of our business. I helped you remove the threat of the Mysterious Sky Sect, so you have to carry out the content of the contract.
Our contract stipulates that you have to stay in the secular world for 50 or 100 years. Then during these 50 or 100 years, you have to respect this contract and carry it out firmly.
When we signed the contract, I did not force you. It was you who agreed to the content of the contract, so we started this transaction.
Just because my transaction has been completed and your transaction is still ongoing, you can't feel that it is unfair.
If you feel that doing this is unfair to you now, have you ever thought that it is fair to my Cheng Family?
Without my Cheng Family, not to mention being able to cultivate talents every year, you can't even keep your ancestral foundation.
Now that the enemy has been eliminated, you want to go back on your word. To put it bluntly, aren't you ungrateful?
To be honest, as long as your 50 or 100 year period is not up, you have to send talents to my Cheng Family according to the rules.
But I, Cheng Yu, am not the kind of person who likes to bully the weak. Just like you, although you send talents to my Cheng Family every year, you should be very clear about the quality of these talents.
But I don't care, as long as you can carry out the contract.
And now, I have even taken the initiative to inform you that there is no need for your sects to send talents to my Cheng Family every year.
This is your duty. Even if I do this, you don't have to remember my kindness, but you have to understand this truth.
Everything you're doing now is stipulated in our contract. It's what you should do. My Cheng Family didn't force you to do it.
If you think that everything you're doing now is being forced by my Cheng Family and you're biting the hand that feeds you, then you better be careful and don't go astray.
