Two days passed by very quickly. It was the third day after Xiao Fan went into seclusion to recuperate!
During these two days, Zhan Wuzong was unprecedentedly peaceful. It was as if the incident of Xiao Fan killing the nine Martial Ancestor protectors and elders in the Sky Martial Arena had never happened. Everything was as usual.
However, no one knew exactly how many undercurrents were hidden under this seemingly calm atmosphere.
Hundred Battles Hall!
Xu Zhanqing, Xu Ao, Shen Lingfeng, Shen Zhanyang and the other Battle Sect elders and disciples were all sitting there. However, no one spoke for a long time.
"Is there still no movement from the Martial Ancestor?" Xu Zhanqing asked in a very serious tone.
"No, none of the elders and disciples of the Martial Sect saw anything strange!" Shen Lingfeng continued, his voice incomparably solemn.
"Our Battle Sect's overall strength has suddenly increased by ten times. We have completely suppressed the Martial Ancestor. The Martial Ancestor clearly understands this. Therefore, it is normal that they do not dare to act rashly!" Xu Ao said in a serious tone, "However, their silence is only temporary. Next, they will definitely make a big move!"
"Zhan Wuzong is about to usher in an unprecedented upheaval. Whether our Zhan Wuzong will be destroyed or advance will depend on this!" Xu Zhanqing sighed and said in a faint voice.
"Actually, you can't blame Young Master Xiao for this!" Shen Lingfeng defended Xiao Fan, "Our Battle Sect and Martial Ancestor have always had conflicts. There is a huge hidden danger. Even if this hidden danger does not erupt today, it will erupt sooner or later. Young Master Xiao is just bringing this eruption forward!"
"I understand this!" Xu Zhanqing nodded and said, "Our Zhan Wuzong has a lot of internal problems. Sooner or later, there will be a victor between the Battle Sect and Martial Ancestor. It is only a matter of time!"
"It's better to cut off a necrotic arm as soon as possible. Perhaps it will be very painful for a while, but in the future, there will be no worries!" Xu Ao was clearly a decisive person. He spoke decisively at this moment.
"That may be the case, but if the arm is broken in the wrong way, it may endanger the whole body!" Xu Zhanqing was a relatively hesitant person. He shook his head and said.
When the others saw that Xu Ao and Xu Zhanqing had different opinions, they couldn't say anything and fell into silence.
"How about …!" Xu Ao broke the silence. Just as he was about to say something, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice from outside.
"Greetings to the four Laozu Sects, welcome back to the four Laozu Sects!" Outside the palace, Elder Zhan Wuzong and his disciples knelt down on one knee and announced loudly. Their voices could be heard clearly within the palace.
When they heard this voice, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed!
The other four Laozu Sects of Zhan Wuzong had also returned. It seemed that the day of Wu Zong's revolt was today.
"The other four Laozu Sects of Zhan Wuzong!" Listening to the heavy footsteps outside that were getting closer and closer, almost everyone in the palace only felt bitterness in their mouths.
Zhan Wuzong and Xu Zhanqing had a total of five Laozu Sects. Although Xiao Fan's sermon two days ago had made all of their strength erupt like a volcano and increased by an unknown amount.
However, the several Laozu Sects of Zhan Wuzong were truly invincible figures. They were one of the top figures in the Qingyun Lower Continent. At this time, when they were about to face the several Laozu Sects of Zhan Wuzong, all of them were still full of fear.
"Don't think too much, just face them head-on!" Xu Zhanqing took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at the entrance of the palace. Everyone else also stood up and stood with their hands by their sides, facing the entrance of the palace.
"Creak!"
At the moment when everyone stood up, the door to the hall was coincidentally opened. Then, four old men walked in with heavy footsteps. Their bodies emitted extremely shocking auras. They were like four dormant ferocious beasts as they slowly walked in.
After entering, one of the four old men smiled at Xu Zhanqing as a greeting. As for the other three, their expressions were indifferent. They glanced at Xu Zhanqing and walked straight to the top of the Hundred Battles Palace.
"Whoosh!"
Behind the four Laozu Sects were Zhan Wuzong's Guardian Elders, as well as some other ordinary elders and disciples.
In an instant, the originally spacious and empty Hundred Battles Palace became incomparably crowded. Black masses of heads could be seen everywhere.
However, even though the Hundred Wars Hall was packed with people, not a single person spoke. The enormous Hundred Wars Hall was completely silent for a moment.
After a moment of silence!
"Xu Zhanqing, where is Xiao Fan? Hand him over. He wantonly killed more than thirty of our Zhan Wuzong's Elders. If we don't kill him, where will our Zhan Wuzong's face go? Where are the sect rules?! "Du Wuqing said indifferently.
The three Laozu Sects of the Martial Arts Sect were Du Wuqing, Ma Yuan, and Cao Xinquan. The three of them were of the same generation as Xu Zhanqing. However, Du Wuqing was the oldest and had the most seniority. Therefore, it was not just the Martial Arts Sect. Du Wuqing was considered the leader. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Du Wuqing was the number one person in the entire Zhan Wuzong.
"Laozu Sect, although Young Master Xiao killed our Zhan Wuzong's Guardian Elders and violated our Zhan Wuzong's sect rules, Young Master Xiao has also done a great favor for our Zhan Wuzong!" Xu Zhanqing did not immediately speak, but Xu Ao did. He then said in a low voice, "Since the grudges have been settled, Young Master Xiao should have no reason to be punished, right?"
"Gratitude is gratitude, and resentment is resentment!" Ma Yuan said indifferently, "Gratitude cannot offset resentment, and resentment cannot offset gratitude. Even if Xiao Fan has done a great favor for our Zhan Wuzong, it cannot erase the fact that he has killed more than thirty of our important Elders!"
"That's right, these are two separate matters!" Cao Xinquan also said indifferently, "Our Zhan Wuzong must repay the kindness he has shown us. However, if there is a crime, it must be punished. It does not mean that just because you have done a great favor for our Zhan Wuzong, you can do whatever you want in our Zhan Wuzong!"
"Moreover, you have always said that Xiao Fan has done a great favor for our Zhan Wuzong. However, this great favor, I have not seen it. What has Xiao Fan done for our Zhan Wuzong? On the other hand, the fact that he has killed our Zhan Wuzong's people is already a fact. There is no way to deny it! "
"Young Master Xiao's lecture has more than doubled the strength of our Zhan Wuzong's Elders and disciples. The entire Zhan Wuzong's strength has more than doubled? Does this not count as a great favor for our Zhan Wuzong? "Xu Ao said in a low voice.
"That is because our Zhan Wuzong's Elders and disciples are naturally talented. It is only when the time comes that they break through. How can it be due to Xiao Fan?" Ma Yuan said indifferently.
Hearing Ma Yuan's words, Xu Ao and the other Battle Sect Elders and disciples all raised their heads and looked at him with shock in their eyes.
To think that Ma Yuan, the most respected ancestor of the Battle Martial Sect, would be the one to say something like this that would distort the truth and lie with his eyes wide open. This was truly shocking.
"Enough, there's no point in saying anything more!" Seeing that Xu Ao was about to say something, Xu Zhanqing finally spoke and interrupted Xu Ao. Then, he looked at Du Wuqing and the other two and said indifferently, "Du Wuqing, Ma Yuan, Cao Xinquan, let's just be straightforward. There's no need to beat around the bush!"
"The three of you are just thinking about the interests of your Martial Arts Sect. Because our Battle Sect's strength has increased greatly, not only did your Martial Arts Sect's strength not increase greatly, but many of your important people have died, causing your strength to decrease greatly!"
"You're here today because of this. Anything else is just superfluous nonsense!"
"Since you've put everything on the table, then we'll shed all pretense of cordiality. That's right, that's what we mean!" Du Wuqing said coldly, "Hand over Xiao Fan and let us kill him. Then, your Battle Sect will give us 90% of the resources on hand to improve our Martial Arts Sect's cultivation and achieve a state of balance between the Battle Sect and Martial Arts Sect!"
"If you can do this, then everything can be discussed. If you can't, then today will be the day that our Zhan Wuzong will be separated!"
"The day that Zhan Wuzong will be separated? Du Wuqing, what are you trying to do? " Hearing Du Wuqing's words, Xu Zhanqing's expression immediately changed. He immediately stood up and shouted angrily.
"The day that we'll be separated is naturally the day that we'll be separated from Zhan Wuzong. Simply put, we'll be splitting up!" Ma Yuan also stood up and said indifferently, "The conflict between our Battle Sect and Martial Arts Sect has not been going on for a day or two. Actually, we've long wanted to split up. Since things have already come to this point, it's better to cut the pain short than to prolong the pain. Let's just split up!"
"Split up!" Hearing Ma Yuan's words, the entire Hundred Battles Hall fell silent. A considerable number of Zhan Wuzong's elders and disciples looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
No one would have thought that Zhan Wuzong would reach such a stage where they would have to split up.
"No!" Xu Zhanqing immediately said angrily, "If our Zhan Wuzong splits up, then our Zhan Wuzong will still be Zhan Wuzong? Is the foundation left behind by our ancestors going to be destroyed in our hands? "
"No, that won't do!"
"Xu Zhanqing, you have to do it today whether you want to or not!" Cao Xinquan stood up and shouted coldly, "There are two paths before you. First, hand over Xiao Fan and ninety percent of the cultivation resources that your Battle Sect has. Then, our Battle Sect and Martial Arts Sect will peacefully split up. From then on, we'll mind our own business!"
"Second, if you don't hand it over, then we'll take it from you. At worst, we'll just destroy your Battle Sect. From then on, there'll only be one Zhan Wuzong, and that's our Martial Arts Sect!"
"Cao Xinquan, what did you say? Are you trying to rebel? " Xu Zhanqing was furious. He slammed the table in front of him, smashing it into pieces as he shouted.
