Chu Mo's words sounded a little far-fetched, but if one thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case.
After all, nothing was more important than one's life. If the West Sea Faction expressed their intention to withdraw, then other than mocking them for being cowardly, there was really nothing to criticize.
"But, if we do this … won't we anger the others?" Zhao Qing said worriedly, "After all, everyone agreed to it, and everyone thinks that there is strength in numbers … If we withdraw now, I'm afraid we will incur the wrath of the masses."
"Yes, Young Master, if the four big factions react directly …" Wang Tong said at the side.
Chu Mo smiled. "I'm not dead, so they won't do anything to you."
"…" Zhao Qing was instantly speechless. He looked helplessly at the calm Chu Mo and thought to himself, This young master really can sit still!
Hua Xiao Ya aside, Shen Xingxue and Miao Yiniang have both been brought back to the Fairy Realm. It is obvious that they want to draw a line with you. Now, everyone … is waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!
Chu Mo looked at Zhao Qing and said in a deep voice, "Faction Leader Zhao, have you thought it through? If you insist, then I won't say another word. Actually, Faction Leader Zhao, you don't have to worry too much. As long as you publicly announce that you have nothing to do with the Misty Palace, I believe that the four big factions and the other factions won't make things difficult for you. "
"Young Master, I didn't …" Zhao Qing wanted to explain.
Chu Mo waved his hand. "I don't mean to blame you, Faction Leader Zhao. It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid trouble. Faction Leader Zhao, please reconsider. I won't blame you for whatever choice you make. But once you make a choice, then … don't regret it. "
After Chu Mo finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Qing, Wang Tong, and the rest calmly.
Zhou Jun's face revealed a hint of excitement. No one knew how long he had prepared to enter the Sinkhole. Although he knew that the Sinkhole was very dangerous, he still had the thought of "What if luck happens to me?"
However, be it Zhao Qing, Wang Tong, or the other high-ranking elders of the West Sea Sect, they were no longer children.
The West Sea Sect lived on the Middle God Island, and had been engaged in all kinds of open and veiled conflicts with the Great Wilderness Sect and the Green Mountain Sect all year round, which made them extremely sensitive.
From a certain perspective, they were far more perceptive compared to the great sects like the Celestial Longevity Plane and Four Paths Sword Faction.
Therefore, although Chu Mo's words caused them to sink into contemplation, they did not think much of it. However, deep down in their hearts, these high-level figures of the West Sea Sect all had similar thoughts.
That was … what Chu Mo had said was probably true! He was right!
Furthermore, this group of people from the West Sea Sect were all gamblers. They didn't want to place their bets on the four great sects, because if they did, they would be devoured by the four great sects.
Therefore, from the beginning, they had never thought of cooperating with the four major sects. There was something about Chu Mo that made them see the future that Chu Mo might have. Moreover, if they cooperated with Chu Mo and the Ethereal Palace behind him, they would be on equal footing!
At least, Chu Mo wouldn't treat them like the four major sects!
They were both subordinates, but who would be willing to submit to a superior and condescending force?
Who didn't want to be respected?
Therefore, they would rather stand with Chu Mo.
However, the development of the matter was somewhat out of their expectations. They didn't expect that after coming to this small town, the four major sects would show their stance at the same time.
Although they didn't say it explicitly, some things didn't need to be said. As long as they expressed their stance, it would be enough!
Originally, Chu Mo just didn't get along with Gu Cheng of the four major sects. Outer Sky seemed to be neutral, and the people of Yi Sword and Flying Immortal were obviously close to Chu Mo.
This made it easy for the West Sea Sect to make a choice and judgment.
But now …
The four major sects!
Although there was still no movement from Outer Sky, the other three major sects had already made their stance clear. Would they be an exception? Was an exception useful?
This kind of pressure was really too great for the West Sea Sect!
If there was only the West Sea Sect on Middle God Island, it would be fine. At worst, they would retreat to Middle God Island and be isolated from the world. But how could the two major sects on Middle God Island give up the chance to divide the West Sea Sect?
After a long time, Zhao Qing and the other West Sea Sect Elders looked at each other. These people already had a tacit understanding with each other. They didn't need to use words to communicate and could understand each other's thoughts.
"That … Young Master Chu Mo." Zhao Qing looked at Chu Mo with some difficulty. His lips wriggled as if he couldn't speak.
Chu Mo smiled. He already knew the West Sea Sect's choice. Speaking of which, he was really a little disappointed in his heart.
There were some things that he couldn't explain to Zhao Qing too clearly. There were some promises that he couldn't casually say. But in fact, Chu Mo had already decided that if Zhao Qing still chose to stand on his side this time, then there would definitely be a place for them in the Chu Palace in the Illusory God Realm.
Unfortunately …
But Chu Mo didn't blame Zhao Qing. If it were anyone else, they would probably make the same choice as him.
"Sect Master Zhao doesn't need to say anything more. I won't blame you for anything. As a friend, I'll give you one last reminder. Those who enter the Bottomless Ruins must be more careful. Protecting your own life is more important than any so-called opportunity, "Chu Mo said earnestly.
"Ah, thank you, Young Master Chu!" Zhao Qing originally wanted to explain his difficulties, but he swallowed the words when they reached his mouth. Those difficulties … Chu Mo actually understood them in his heart, so why did he need to waste his breath on them?
"Also, my previous agreement with Sect Master Zhao is still valid." Chu Mo said with a smile, "If I come back alive from the Bottomless Ruins, if I can help the Misty Palace stand firm in this world, then Sect Master Zhao can still send genius children to the Misty Palace. As for the compensation … Sect Master Zhao can rest assured that I will definitely satisfy you!"
"Young Master Chu, we have let you down …" Zhao Qing's face was full of shame. He understood that nothing seemed to have changed. But in reality, everything was different!
As they made their choice, their relationship changed from the closest allies to ordinary friends. All that was left … was a relationship of benefits.
"It's fine. Sect Master Zhao doesn't need to feel guilty." Chu Mo stood up with a smile and sent off the West Sea Sect people.
Not long after, the latest news came from the small town. The sect master of Lone City had warmly received the upper echelons of the West Sea Sect, and both sides had a pleasant chat.
Then, the sect master of Beyond Sky also unexpectedly received the upper echelons of the West Sea Sect, and both sides had a pleasant chat.
Although One Sword and Flying Immortal didn't do anything, they didn't make any noise either.
When it came to Chu Mo, everyone felt that he had been deserted by his own family and friends.
The reason for that was because Chu Mo only had the chicken and Huang Liang left by his side.
Just like before.
