Linfu City, Purple Mountain House, Dark Tower.
Dark Tower was the most mysterious and secretive place in Purple Mountain House. Even the members of Purple Mountain House only knew of its existence, but not its location.
In the entire Purple Mountain House, the number of people who knew where Dark Tower was could be counted on two hands. Only the core members of Purple Mountain House were qualified to enter Dark Tower.
Dark Tower was naturally guarded by Purple Mountain House Lord himself. It was his usual cultivation place, and also the place where he made decisions on important matters.
At this moment, in a secret chamber of Dark Tower, five figures were sitting together. The one sitting at the head was a man shrouded in a mysterious aura. Even if one stood in front of him, they couldn't see his appearance clearly. It was very mysterious.
The supreme immortal aura emitted from his body could make the world submit to him.
This person was obviously none other than Purple Mountain House Lord, an extremely mysterious expert. Even in the entire Linfu City, only a handful of people had seen Purple Mountain House Lord's true appearance.
The Purple Mountain House Master sat there, his invisible majesty completely enveloping the entire secret chamber, making the atmosphere incomparably solemn.
Below him sat four people, all emitting powerful auras. On the right was Immortal Lou Ren, the Immortal who had been in contact with Qin Xiao.
Five people were gathered in Dark Tower, which represented the highest level of Purple Mountain House's meeting.
"House Lord, Qin Xiao has been in the central area of the Enchanting Fire Domain for more than two hundred thousand years. I'm afraid he's already dead. I think our Purple Mountain House's actions should all be stopped immediately. We can't hold on to any hope. "
"Over the years, we've paid a great price to earn Qin Xiao's favor. We've sacrificed a lot."
"This is a huge gamble. I didn't agree with it from the beginning. Now it seems that we've lost this gamble."
A man sitting at the end of the left said coldly.
Immediately, the man sitting at the head of the right nodded and said, "Yes, we've lost this gamble. Therefore, I also think that we should stop immediately and stop thinking about whether Qin Xiao is still alive. "
"After being trapped in the center of the Bonfire Domain for more than 200,000 years, even an Exalted Immortal would have a very low chance of surviving, let alone Qin Xiao."
"Therefore, I also think that Qin Xiao must have died in the central area of the Nightmare Fire Domain. Even the Fu Yu Immortal Palace hasn't said anything."
The two on the left had already expressed their views.
The two on the right remained silent and did not open their mouths.
The Purple Mountain House Master suddenly said, "Lou Ren, aren't you two going to express your opinions?"
Lou Ren wasn't in a hurry to speak. Instead, he glanced at the man seated below him.
The man in the lower seat shook his head and said, "I don't have any opinions. I don't agree or disagree. You can decide. I've always been easy to talk to."
The three of them had already expressed their opinions. Only Exalted Immortal Lou Ren remained.
After a moment of silence, Exalted Immortal Lou Ren said, "House Master, I don't think this is a big gamble."
"We saw Qin Xiao's limitless potential from the start, so we wanted to befriend him while he was still weak and earn his favor. This is an investment with great returns. "
"I'm sure the ten factions of Linfu City would be very keen on such an investment, but not all of them would be willing to invest."
"Our Purple Mountain House was fortunate enough to be chosen. This is our fortune to begin with."
"We're just saying that something unexpected has happened. However, I still firmly believe that Qin Xiao isn't dead yet. I don't think the Fu Yu Immortal Palace would sit idly by and watch a peerless genius like Qin Xiao die. "
"Even if Qin Xiao doesn't have enough influence, Princess Xiaoyu is more than enough."
"Princess Xiaoyu has a rare Peach Blossom Physique, an unprecedented genius with an immortal king physique. Her potential is limitless. She's the only personal disciple of the Fu Yu Immortal Palace's master, and has the potential to walk the ancient path and become an Empyrean Sage. "
"I think the Fu Yu Immortal Palace's master might not care about Qin Xiao's life, but he definitely wouldn't ignore Princess Xiaoyu's."
"Princess Xiaoyu is still in the central region of the Bonfire Domain, which means she's fine. Therefore, I think it's very likely that Qin Xiao is still alive. "
Exalted Immortal Lou Ren's analysis made sense, but the two on the left disagreed.
"Exalted Immortal Lou Ren, it's only possible that Princess Xiaoyu is fine. Moreover, how do you know whether or not she's been taken back by the Fu Yu Immortal Palace's master? "the man on the left said.
Exalted Immortal Lou Ren said, "I've investigated, and indeed found no traces of Princess Xiaoyu returning to the Fu Yu Immortal Palace."
"Of course, that's possible, but I don't think it's very likely. Therefore, I'm still very certain. "
The man on the left said, "Even if Princess Xiaoyu didn't return to the Fu Yu Immortal Palace, we can't be sure that Qin Xiao is still alive. At most, we can be sure that Princess Xiaoyu is still alive. These are two completely different things."
"It's understandable that Princess Xiaoyu is still alive. After all, she's the only personal disciple of the Fu Yu Immortal Palace's master. She must have many precious treasures on her. It's not strange that she's still alive."
"But Qin Xiao definitely doesn't have any immortal treasures on him. How did he survive?"
"The central region of the Bonfire Domain is so vast and dangerous. Princess Xiaoyu might not be able to find Qin Xiao smoothly."
"Therefore, this investment is no longer necessary."
"Yes, I also think it's no longer necessary. We've already paid such a huge price, we can't continue to pay. "The man on the left agreed.
Zishan House Master waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop arguing. I've already made my decision."
Hearing the Zishan House Master's words, the four of them looked at him, waiting for his decision.
"The possibility of Qin Xiao dying in the central region of the Bonfire Domain is indeed very high. It's no longer worth it for us to continue paying such a huge price."
"Our Zishan House has already paid a huge price in the past two hundred thousand years."
"Therefore, it's time to stop everything. If this continues, I'm afraid the foundation of our Zishan House will be damaged. Then, the losses will outweigh the gains. "
"The reason why we're trying so hard to be on good terms with Qin Xiao is because we want to get a huge return."
"Since there's no hope for a huge return, we can't continue. It's time to stop."
… …
Immortal Dais of the Immortal Court.
On the nine-level Immortal Dais, a figure with white hair and beard was sitting cross-legged. He had the demeanor of an immortal and his aura was ethereal, as if he was an otherworldly being.
"Court Lord, the voices in our Immortal Court have been getting louder and louder recently. They all feel that we shouldn't continue to help Qin Xiao. We should stop immediately." Immortal Ming Yang stood there and said respectfully.
On the nine-level Immortal Dais, the Immortal Court Lord slowly opened his eyes and looked at Immortal Ming Yang. He said calmly, "Ming Yang, tell me your thoughts."
Immortal Ming Yang nodded and said, "Court Lord, for the past two hundred thousand years, we've spared no effort in helping Qin Xiao. We've also achieved some results."
"Although we've received a favor, we've also paid a huge price."
"As time goes by, the price has become bigger and bigger. Now, the price is indeed too high. "
"Therefore, it's understandable that there are a lot of complaints in the Immortal Court now. After all, Qin Xiao has been trapped in the central region of the Bonfire Domain for two hundred thousand years, and there's still no news of him. "
"Two hundred thousand years. Indeed, even an Immortal might not be able to survive after entering, let alone Qin Xiao."
"Moreover, the news about Qin Xiao's death has been spreading like wildfire in Linfu City recently. The whole city knows about it. Many people have already accepted this rumor. "
"Indeed, many people in our Immortal Court have also accepted this rumor. They feel that Qin Xiao must have died in the central region of the Bonfire Domain. That's why there are so many voices saying that we should stop everything immediately and stop helping Qin Xiao. "
"In particular, there's news from the Purple Mountain House that they've stopped everything. Therefore, the voices of our Immortal Court are even louder. "
The white-haired old man nodded slightly, but his expression was still as calm as water. He said, "Ming Yang, do you think that our Immortal Court should follow the example of the Purple Mountain House and stop everything?"
Immortal Ming Yang nodded and said, "Yes, Court Lord. This is also the reason why I'm here. I'm here to ask for an order on behalf of the Immortal Court."
"The voices are too loud. If we continue like this, I'm afraid there will be complaints in our Immortal Court."
"And I also think that Qin Xiao is most likely dead. It's impossible for him to be alive after being trapped in the central region of the Bonfire Domain for two hundred thousand years. "
"Therefore, there's no need for us to continue. Besides, the Purple Mountain House has also stopped everything. I believe they have the same considerations. "
"Court Lord, for the sake of our Immortal Court's foundation, please give us an order."
"Humph!" The white-haired Lord of the Immortal Court chuckled and looked at Immortal Ming Yang meaningfully. He said, "Ming Yang, Ming Yang, you're as short-sighted as the others."
"What the Purple Mountain House does is their business. Why should our Immortal Court do the same as them? Do you think that our Immortal Court is inferior to the Purple Mountain House? So if the Purple Mountain House stops, we have to stop as well? "
Immortal Ming Yang was surprised and looked at the Lord of the Immortal Court in confusion.
The Lord of the Immortal Court didn't wait for Immortal Ming Yang to speak. He continued, "What others do is their business. It has nothing to do with our Immortal Court."
"Our Immortal Court wants to be on good terms with Qin Xiao, but we also want to exchange sincerity for sincerity. We're not playing around."
"Qin Xiao may be dead, but no one can say for sure that he's dead."
"I'm more inclined to believe that he's not dead. Therefore, our operation can't be stopped. We should continue."
"At the very least, even if Qin Xiao is really dead, since we've promised him, we should finish what we started and do it."
"Therefore, no matter how great the price is, since our Immortal Court has done this, we should complete it to the end. We shouldn't be half-crippled and become untrustworthy villains. Such a thing isn't something our Immortal Court can do. "
"I don't think you can do such a thing, either, Immortal Ming Yang. You need to reflect on this point. "
Immortal Ming Yang was stunned and stood there in a daze. He was thinking about the words of the Lord of the Immortal Court and felt a little ashamed.
After thinking about it carefully, what the Lord of the Immortal Court said was indeed very reasonable.
As a man, he should finish what he started.
