Heavenly Cloud Villa, Villa Master Luo Cheng, First Elder Luo Xiong, Third Elder Luo Hao and Fifth Elder Luo Ao were all present in the Discussion Hall. Xiao Yan and the rest were led by Luo Jin to arrange their accommodations.
In the hall, Luo Hao roughly explained everything that had happened before and after they had met Xiao Yan and the rest. The expressions of everyone present could not help but change when they heard this.
"Woeful Poison Body?!"
"The legendary Holy Maiden of the Du E Sect? Didn't she disappear without a trace long ago? Why is she by Xiao Yan's side? "
Luo Cheng frowned. He had clearly sensed the seriousness of this matter.
"Now is not the time to investigate this. What we should be thinking about is whether these people should leave or stay. The importance of the Woeful Poison Body to the Du E Sect goes without saying. Their sect master, Wu Du, wants to use the Woeful Poison Body to find the first sect master's hidden inheritance. Over the years, they have sent out a lot of manpower and resources to find the Woeful Poison Body. Since these people are now in our Heavenly Cloud Villa, it won't be long before Wu Du personally comes to ask for them. Once he appears, this matter will be even more difficult to resolve. "
Luo Xiong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth. The words that came out of his mouth caused the expressions of everyone present to change. Wu Du, the sect master of the Du E Sect, was an expert at the level of a Source Venerate. Even in the entire continent, he was a top expert. Although the Heavenly Cloud Villa did not fear a Source Venerate, they did not wish to truly fight with him. The strength of a Source Venerate expert was enough to make the entire Heavenly Cloud Villa take him seriously. Although the seven heroes of the Luo clan could even fight against a Source Venerate expert if they joined forces, what should they do if the other party used the strength of an entire sect?
After all, a Source Sect was still a Source Sect. The gap between them and a Source Venerate expert could not be made up by numbers alone.
"In that case, should we ask them to leave?"
Luo Cheng knit his brows. After meeting them earlier, he could tell that Xiao Yan's group was extraordinary. Other than Xiao Yan's training talent, the 'Heavenly Flame' that he possessed, and the two 'Woeful Poison Bodies', that young man called Bai Hua also caused him to feel that she was extremely mysterious. Even with his eyesight, he was unable to see anything about the latter's constitution. If one were to talk about someone who could be considered ordinary, it was likely that only that little girl called Li Bingrui would be considered ordinary. However, if one were to discuss her training talent, it was likely that she would not be inferior to some of the monsters in the Middle Region.
Luo Cheng and Luo Cheng could naturally tell that this group had great potential. If they could form a good relationship with them, it would definitely be beneficial to the Heavenly Cloud Manor once they matured. However, the problem they were facing now was that the Du E Sect would definitely not allow Xiao Yan's group to live peacefully. From Xiao Yan's attitude, it was clearly impossible for him to hand over the Woeful Poison Body. Both parties had already become mortal enemies. If they insisted on helping Xiao Yan's group, it would be equivalent to openly declaring war on the Du E Sect. It was difficult to weigh the pros and cons involved.
"Clan leader, first elder, I think that this is not appropriate."
While they were hesitating, Luo Ao finally opened his mouth. As he spoke, everyone's gazes gathered on him. Luo Ao's gaze slowly swept across the people in front of him before he said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to let you go.
"First Elder, all of us have witnessed Xiao Yan's talent and strength. Moreover, he also has a 'Heavenly Flame' by his side. His future achievements are definitely not something that the Du E Sect can compare with. Don't tell me that we are going to destroy a genius who is likely to become a great help to our Tian Yun Villa for the sake of the Du E Sect, which is not on friendly terms with us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the few people present couldn't help but pause. Luo Cheng opened his mouth slightly but didn't say anything. Luo Xiong fell silent as he continued to ponder in his heart. As the first elder of Heavenly Cloud Manor and the strongest person in the clan, he had no choice but to prioritize the clan first. Although Heavenly Cloud Manor was also one of the four great forces, everyone knew that Heavenly Cloud Manor was just barely squeezed into the ranks. Without the support of a Source Venerate, the clan's strength couldn't be compared to the other forces. If it weren't for the numerous arrays and the reputation of the seven heroes of the Luo clan, Heavenly Cloud Manor would have long been excluded from the four great forces.
Now, if they were to start a war with the Du E Sect for Xiao Yan, what awaited them would most likely be destruction!
But then again, Luo Ao's words weren't without reason. They had seen the potential of Xiao Yan's group. If Heavenly Cloud Manor could obtain their help, when they truly grew up in the future, their status among the four great forces would definitely rise. However, the current situation forced them to face reality first …
"Sigh …"
After a long time, Luo Xiong sighed deeply. His pair of turbid old eyes turned to Luo Cheng, who was sitting on the main seat, and slowly said,
"Patriarch, this matter is still up to you to decide. After all, you are the patriarch and also the Manor Lord. Everything will still have to listen to you."
Seeing that the problem was once again thrown to him, Luo Cheng's mood couldn't help but become a little solemn. He could also understand Luo Xiong's worries. However, Luo Ao's words weren't wrong. Now, he had to choose one of the two and this answer might involve his entire Heavenly Cloud Manor.
"Sigh … Fifth Elder, I'm sorry. I also know that little friend Xiao Yan has a promising future. However, Heavenly Cloud Manor can no longer take a huge blow. Once …"
"Patriarch, you don't have to blame yourself. This old man understands your intentions. However, they are after all guests from afar. Let them stay for two more days. Once the time is up, this old man will naturally explain this matter to them."
Before Luo Cheng's voice faded, Luo Ao had already stood up and smiled at the former. After speaking, he slowly walked out of the hall. Behind him, Luo Cheng and the other two looked at Luo Ao's somewhat lonely back. For a time, their hearts couldn't help but become a little heavy.
They could tell that Luo Ao truly valued Xiao Yan. Even though they were similarly shocked by Xiao Yan's talent, the reality was as such. Even if Luo Cheng agreed to disregard the entire clan for the sake of a member of the younger generation with an unknown future, it was likely that the other members of the clan would not be willing to do so.
However, immediately after Luo Ao's footsteps arrived at the entrance of the hall. Just as he was about to open the door and walk out, the door was suddenly opened by a pair of hands from the outside. Immediately, an old man hurriedly stepped in from the outside. The moment he entered, his gaze quickly swept across Luo Ao and stopped him. After which, he looked towards the few people in the depths of the hall. With a solemn expression, he urgently said,
"Manor Lord, First Elder, something has happened!"
