Elder Jing originally didn't get along with Xiao Yan. Now, because of his relationship with Luo Ping, he was extremely hostile to Xiao Yan. It had been hundreds of years since Xiao Yan had left the sect. He hadn't returned and there was no news. Naturally, Elder Jing was dissatisfied.
Especially now that the clan war had begun. As an elder of the Kongming Sect, Xiao Yan also had the responsibility and obligation to return and do his part to help the Kongming Sect resist the Demons sect.
The Demons sect's invasion had been going on for so long. There was no place in the Cultivation Realm that didn't know about this matter. Elder Jing didn't think that Xiao Yan didn't know about the Demons sect's invasion.
Therefore, in Elder Jing's view, Xiao Yan's behavior was completely not putting the Kongming Sect in his heart. He completely ignored the survival of the Kongming Sect.
"There hasn't been any news for so long. Maybe he has already died somewhere. Instead of being an elder of the sect, he likes to wander around. He only has himself to blame for his death."
Elder Jing added another sentence. As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed. They all looked at the figure sitting in the last seat on the left.
Even Duan Jinchen and Kong Ming frowned and glanced at Luo Ping. Then, they turned their gazes to Elder Jing with some blame in their eyes.
"Elder Jing, you and Elder Xiao are from the same sect. What you said is a bit too much. Elder Xiao's life essence card is still in the sect. How could an accident happen?"
"I reckon that Elder Xiao has encountered something difficult to resolve, which is why there is no news from him. I have tried to contact him several times before, but I didn't get any response from him. He must have entered some mysterious place to look for opportunities."
Duan Jinchen didn't want to see any conflict between Elder Jing and Luo Ping at this moment. After all, resisting the Demons sect was the most important thing. Therefore, he could only attribute the lack of news from Xiao Yan to him entering some mysterious place to look for opportunities.
After all, some ancient ruins or various mysterious places had the ability to block sound transmissions. It was normal that Xiao Yan didn't receive any sound transmissions.
Just as Duan Jinchen's voice fell, another voice sounded in the hall. Everyone felt a strong murderous aura.
"Elder Jing, you'd better protect your life. Don't let the Demons sect kill you. After the Demons sect is destroyed, I will kill you with my own hands."
Luo Ping's voice was cold and ruthless. It was full of unquestionable firmness. It seemed that he was very confident in killing Elder Jing. The other elders in the hall didn't think that there was anything wrong with it. After all, Luo Ping's current strength had deeply convinced them.
"Don't think that you can be arrogant just because your cultivation has improved. Even if you can kill an early stage Heavenly Life Stage demon, it doesn't matter. In this old man's eyes, you're just a brat. You're not qualified to kill this old man."
Elder Jing still said disdainfully. Even though Luo Ping had shown such a strong fighting strength, he still didn't put Luo Ping in his eyes. Such an action made all the elders wonder what kind of powerful means he had. Could it be that he was stronger than the early stage Heavenly Life Stage demon of the Demons sect?
Everyone couldn't guess what kind of means Elder Jing had. Perhaps it would only be revealed when he and Luo Ping had a real life and death battle.
"Whether I'm qualified or not isn't just a matter of words. You'll know when the time comes. There's no meaning in arguing now."
"As for the matter of my master's life and death, you don't need to worry about it. Right now, the elders are discussing the matter of encircling and annihilating the Demons sect. You'd better not waste everyone's time."
Luo Ping didn't want to talk too much with the other party, so he changed the topic to the elders' meeting. Just as Elder Jing was about to continue speaking, Duan Jinchen spoke first.
"Let's get down to business. Just now, an elder asked about the number of people to be sent out. Chi Ji Supreme said in the message that for a third-class sect, at least three elders should be sent out, and more than ten Yuanying and Golden Elixir disciples should be sent out."
"In other words, we have to send out at least thirty-three disciples at once. Yuanying and Golden Elixir disciples shouldn't be a problem. However, I wonder who among you is willing to go as an elder?"
Duan Jinchen didn't appoint anyone, but asked the elders to recommend themselves. After all, the stronger one was, the greater the responsibility and the greater the danger. Participating in the encirclement and annihilation of the Demons sect was actually more dangerous than resisting the Demons sect within the sect.
After all, there was still the protection of the Mountain Protection Formation in the sect. It was relatively safer to rely on the defensive ability of the formation. On the other hand, if they went out to encircle and annihilate the Demons sect, there would be no protection. Once they encountered a powerful Demons sect, it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed.
In other words, the people sent out were actually equivalent to the 'Death Army', and they had to be prepared to die at any time. Therefore, Duan Jinchen didn't insist, but adopted the principle of voluntariness. If no one was willing, he could only use his authority as the Sect Master and directly appoint someone.
Hearing Duan Jinchen's inquiry, Elder Jing, who originally wanted to speak, immediately shut his mouth. The other elders also didn't speak, and the entire hall fell into silence again.
Looking at the situation in the hall, Duan Jinchen's face was obviously a little helpless. He naturally understood what everyone was thinking. At this stage of cultivation, no one was willing to lose their lives for nothing.
If it was for the sake of the sect, it was still acceptable. This was something that couldn't be avoided. After all, everyone was now in a life and death situation with the sect. If the sect was destroyed, they would naturally die as well.
However, if only three people were needed to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the Demons sect, everyone was naturally unwilling to step forward. This was the true embodiment of 'every man for himself and the devil takes the hindmost'. Anyway, there were fifteen people present, and the probability of it being their turn wasn't very high.
Everyone's silence made Duan Jinchen and Kong Ming shake their heads slightly. At this moment, Luo Ping suddenly stood up and said, "Count me in for the encirclement and annihilation of the Demons sect. If Martial Uncle Sect Master doesn't have any other matters, I plan to return to the Tenth Peak to prepare."
Luo Ping's initiative to volunteer made all the elders present praise him in their hearts. After all, there was now one less spot. Duan Jinchen was a little hesitant when he heard this. However, he also understood Luo Ping's character and knew that it was very difficult to change his mind once he had decided on something.
Moreover, he had already said it before. Now that Luo Ping had taken the initiative to ask, if he didn't allow it, it would cause the other elders to criticize him. Although he really wanted to keep Luo Ping in the sect, he could only agree helplessly.
"Luo Ping, since you've decided, you must be more careful. After all, there are too many variables in the encirclement and annihilation of the Demons sect. You might encounter an extremely powerful demon. Now that Senior Huang isn't by your side, you'll have to rely on yourself."
"Although your strength is already stronger than many of the elders present, you've only cultivated for a short period of time. In terms of experience, you're still lacking. As your senior, I don't want any accidents to happen to you. After all, you're the most talented disciple in the sect for thousands of years. Do you understand?"
Duan Jinchen warned carefully. He didn't treat Luo Ping as an elder-level powerhouse whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage. Instead, he treated him as a junior. It was enough to see how much he loved and valued Luo Ping.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Martial Uncle. I'll be careful. I'll go back first."
After Luo Ping finished speaking, he bid farewell to Duan Jinchen and Kong Ming Duo and left the hall. Although the remaining elders had some complaints, no one said anything.
After all, Luo Ping had taken the initiative to request to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the Demons sect, but they didn't say anything. Otherwise, Luo Ping's early departure from the elders' meeting would definitely cause all the elders to object.
After Luo Ping left, Duan Jinchen asked again, "There are two candidates left. Who is willing to go?"
All the elders looked at each other and were very hesitant. At this time, a mighty figure stood up and said in a firm tone, "Sect Master, count me in. I haven't experienced the feeling of being hot-blooded and daring to do anything for a long time. If I continue like this, I won't be like a heaven-defying cultivator."
Fang Xiao said in a loud voice. As soon as he said this, the elders immediately fell into deep thought. Ever since they became elders, they had been provided with cultivation resources by the sect. They rarely left the sect to search for their own opportunities. This caused the hot-bloodedness and reckless drive they had in the past to gradually fade away.
Fang Xiao was originally the same. However, ever since he met Luo Ping, he saw his younger self in Luo Ping once again. Luo Ping's cultivation speed amazed him.
In addition, Luo Ping's various inconceivable situations made Fang Xiao deeply realize that as a cultivator, he absolutely couldn't lose the tenacity and hot-bloodedness he had in the beginning. He had to be daring from beginning to end. Only then could he cultivate to the end.
Fang Xiao's cultivation was already at the late stage of the Primordial Soul Stage. Among the sect elders, only Elder Mo and Sect Master Duan Jinchen were slightly stronger than him. Even he took the initiative to request to participate in the encirclement of the Devil Clan. This not only surprised all the elders, even Duan Jinchen and Kong Ming did not expect it.
"Fang Xiao, have you really made up your mind?"
Before Duan Jinchen could speak, the Left Hall Master spoke first. He rather admired Fang Xiao. Not only was he upright and full of righteousness, but his cultivation speed was also quite good.
Among all the elders in the past, only Xiao Yan's cultivation speed could compare to Fang Xiao's. However, Xiao Yan had joined the sect relatively late, so he had only reached the mid Nascent Soul stage now.
"I've made up my mind. I won't go back on my word!"
Fang Xiao once again firmly replied. Kong Ming Duo and Duan Jinchen could only accept this. After confirming Fang Xiao, there was still one more candidate. This time, it was unexpectedly another unexpected person who stood up.
"Elder Hu Yi, I truly never expected that you would have such courage. In that case, the final candidate will be yours."
Duan Jinchen looked at the figure who stood up and said with satisfaction. This person had interacted with Luo Ping before. He was the person in charge of the Mission Union, Elder Hu Yi, a mid Nascent Soul stage powerhouse.
Due to the invasion of the Demons sect, the Mission Union had not been in operation for a long time. Elder Hu had also joined the ranks of the Demon Slayers. Although he had always been in charge of the Mission Union, his cultivation strength was not to be underestimated.
