"Alright, I understand your feelings very well. I'm also very angry about the actions of the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect. However, it's not wise to attack them."
The sect master of the Divine Cauldron Sect, True Monarch Tao Fang, said. His words puzzled all the elders.
"You've all seen the power of the protective formation of the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect. You've all understood the strength of their sect."
"I believe that even if we use the Divine Wood Cauldron, we might not be able to break the Ksitigarbha Immortal Trap Formation. Even if we can break it, do you really think that we have enough strength to make the Hundred Rivers Sacred Sect pay a heavy price?
"I'm afraid that even if we can, we'll have to pay a heavy price in exchange. Do you really think that's worth it?"
"In addition, you've all heard about the Golden Tripod that Reverend Luo Ping used to help Star Lord Jian Chen overcome the tribulation. Its power is probably no less than our Divine Wood Cauldron. If we force them into a corner, they might use the cauldron to deal with us."
"Now that our sect's power has been affected, if we suffer another loss because of the battle with the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect, we'll probably attract the attention of other first-rate sects."
True Monarch Tao Fang explained in detail.
After those elders heard this, although they were still very angry, they gradually recovered from their irritable mood and began to think carefully.
After a while, many elders shook their heads helplessly. Although they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do.
"Senior Brother Sect Master, are we just going to suffer in silence like this?"
"If we don't do anything, not only will the sects under our jurisdiction feel indignant, even the other sects will think that we're cowardly."
"This will definitely affect the prestige of our sect. So, even if we don't attack the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect, we have to think of a way to protect our sect's prestige."
Finally, one of the elders suggested a more rational idea.
"I've thought of this long ago. I've already discussed it with Martial Uncle Mu Yuan. He's already gone to the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect to discuss it with Sect Master Luo. I believe there will be a result very soon."
"Don't worry. With Sect Master Luo's wisdom, he definitely won't be willing to touch the bottom line of our sect at this stage. So, with Martial Uncle Mu Yuan personally coming, he'll definitely express himself later."
True Immortal Tao Fang said to the crowd.
After all, he was the Sect Master of a sect. Naturally, he was one step ahead of the other Elders. He had already discussed the countermeasures with Star Sovereign Mu Yuan. At this moment, Star Sovereign Mu Yuan had already arrived at the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect and was negotiating with Luo Ping.
Hundred Rivers Divine Sect, Myriad Flow Palace.
There were only three people in the hall. Two of them were Luo Ping and Star Monarch Jian Chen. The other person was the great elder of the Divine Cauldron Sect, Star Monarch Mu Yuan, a half-step Pseudo Immortal.
"I believe that with Sect Master Luo's wisdom, you wouldn't want to start a war with our sect at this time, right? Although your sect's Mountain Protecting Grand Formation is indeed powerful, if I were to activate my sect's Sect Guarding Treasure, the Divine Wood Cauldron, to attack, it would still be enough to break it open. "
"Once our two sects engage in an intense battle, the other first-rate sects will definitely be eyeing us covetously. They might even take advantage of the situation to invade. At that time, our two sects might face a crisis of life and death."
"With the enmity between your sect and the Valley of the Sacred Sword, I believe that the Valley of the Sacred Sword will definitely not let go of any opportunity to deal with your sect. I'm sure Sect Master Luo knows this very well."
"In reality, my purpose for coming here is very simple. As long as your sect publicly apologizes to our sect, we will not pursue the matter of what you have done within the jurisdiction of our sect. What do you think, Sect Master Luo?"
Star Sovereign Mu Yuan asked Luo Ping as he finished speaking.
Luo Ping fell into deep thought when he heard this. In his opinion, with Star Sovereign Mu Yuan's status and strength, it was already very difficult for him to personally come to the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect to discuss this matter with him.
Although Star Sovereign Mu Yuan was mainly thinking for his own sect, the situation that he spoke of was indeed very objective.
As long as there was a battle between the two sects, the other first-rate sects would definitely intervene. It might even cause the two sects to face a life and death situation.
However, it was absolutely impossible for the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect to publicly apologize. Once they did so, wouldn't it be announcing to the entire Cultivation Domain that the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect was afraid of the Divine Cauldron Sect?
"Senior Mu Yuan is very thoughtful. For you to personally come to our sect to discuss this matter makes me feel very ashamed."
"As for what our sect has done previously, I don't want to offend your sect. There is a reason for it."
"The Glorious Sun Sect was originally only a third-rate sect under the jurisdiction of the Baleful Yin Sect. Later on, they actually joined forces with the Blood Refining Ancestor to take over the Baleful Yin Sect and seriously injured the sect master of the Baleful Yin Sect, Ji Feiyang."
"Now that Ji Feiyang is an elder of our sect, as the sect master, I naturally have to help him take back his sect and destroy his enemy, the Glorious Sun Sect."
"As for the Piller sect, it is the same. The Piller sect used sinister methods to destroy the Zuo Qiu Castle. The remaining members of the Zuo Qiu Castle have now joined our sect. We also have to seek justice for them."
"Finally, the Vitality Sect is the same as the Baleful Yin Sect. Since they have already joined our sect, they naturally have to move their sect to the Divine Wilderness Sacred Plains. After all, the cultivation environment here is much better than before."
"I have no other intention in saying all this. I just want to tell Senior Mu Yuan that the things our sect has done are not to offend your sect. There is a reason for everything."
"Therefore, our sect has not done anything wrong. Why should we publicly apologize to your sect?"
After Luo Ping explained, his tone was unusually firm as he rejected Star Sovereign Mu Yuan's previous request.
"Oh? Could it be that Sect Master Luo really wants to start a war between the two sects? "
Star Sovereign Mu Yuan said in a gloomy voice.
"Senior Mu Yuan, please don't be angry. I only said that we won't publicly apologize. I didn't say that we can't publicly explain everything."
"As long as I publicly explain the reasons for the series of actions our sect has taken this time, I believe that the various factions will understand everything. They will naturally know that our sect is not deliberately targeting your sect."
"At the end of the statement, our sect will also symbolically express our apologies. I believe that this will give your sect enough face."
"If Senior Mu Yuan feels that this is acceptable, then let's do it. If you feel that this is not acceptable, then I have no other choice. I'm afraid that we can only let nature take its course."
Luo Ping made his suggestion this time, allowing Star Sovereign Mu Yuan to consider it himself.
Star Sovereign Mu Yuan's expression was ice-cold when he heard this. He stared sharply at Luo Ping. The temperature in the entire Myriad Flow Palace plummeted, as if it was an ice cave.
Clearly, Star Sovereign Mu Yuan was very dissatisfied with Luo Ping's suggestion. At this moment, he was already angry in his heart and wanted to teach Luo Ping a lesson.
However, Star Sovereign Mu Yuan did not see any trace of embarrassment on Luo Ping's face. Instead, his expression remained normal. He even took out a mini fan and started fanning himself in satisfaction.
After fanning himself a few times, Luo Ping actually handed the fan to Star Sovereign Mu Yuan. Under the other party's puzzled gaze, Luo Ping said, "Senior Mu Yuan, is it very hot?"
"If it's hot, I can give this fan to you. This way, you won't need to use your skills to lower the temperature. This is simply overkill."
Luo Ping said with a smile.
When Star Sovereign Mu Yuan saw Luo Ping's expression, he was tempted to kick him in the face. Although he was very furious, he was still rather surprised that Luo Ping could withstand the temperature of the hall so easily.
After all, Luo Ping had already used his cultivation method to withstand the temperature, while Luo Ping did not seem to be using any cultivation method at all.
"Hmph, this kid really is extremely skilled. It looks like he must have a treasure that can withstand extremely low temperatures."
Star Sovereign Mu Yuan guessed inside.
"Hmph, sect master Luo, do you mean to say that you want to resolve this matter through a public apology?"
"Since you're unwilling to publicly apologise, you should at least show some other expression. Otherwise, you'll be looking down on our sect far too much."
Star Monarch Mu Yuan said with a sharp tone.
"Expression? May I ask what expression senior Mu Yuan wants from me? "
Luo Ping only understood Star Sovereign Mu Yuan's intentions now that he heard that.
"Sect master Luo, you bought a thousand spots to enter the ancient ruins all at once before. You probably won't be able to use them all. If that's the case, why don't you take out some to make up for the losses of our sect instead of wasting them?"
"Using items that are about to be wasted in exchange for making peace with our sect. I believe sect master Luo won't refuse something as simple as that, right?"
Star Sovereign Mu Yuan's face eased up. He dispersed his presence, and the temperature of the entire hall returned to normal.
"A spot to enter the ancient ruins? So that's what you want from me, Star Sovereign Mu Yuan. "
"To be honest, with how our sect is recruiting independent elders right now, a thousand spots can still be used up. However, since you've asked for it, I obviously have to give you some face."
"However, you should know how valuable a spot is, senior. I can't just give it to your sect for free. You should take out some items at the very least, right? May I ask how much you plan on asking for? "
After Luo Ping knew the other party's intentions, he immediately took the initiative and began to propose an exchange.
Since Star Sovereign Mu Yuan had personally come to the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect this time, it was enough to explain his purpose. If he couldn't take out some spots, he probably wouldn't agree to send him away.
However, he couldn't take it for free.
The spots to enter the ancient ruins were extremely precious. To the Divine Cauldron Sect, if they could obtain more spots, it would be worth it to lose two second-rate sects.
That was why Star Sovereign Mu Yuan had made such a request. He planned to use the spots to ease the conflict between the two sects.
Luo Ping naturally saw through the other party's intentions. Since the other party was here for the spots, and the spots were so precious, he naturally couldn't give them away for free.
When Star Sovereign Mu Yuan heard Luo Ping's words, his eyebrows twitched. Then, he returned to normal and said, "Fifty spots are enough."
"As for what Sect Master Luo said about exchanging items, it seems like you want to take the opportunity to 'extort'. Isn't it worth it to use these spots to exchange for peace between our two sects?"
Star Sovereign Mu Yuan asked.
"It's worth it, of course it's worth it. However, it's your sect that's worth it. I'm sure we all know the value of fifty spots. It's enough for your sect to develop into at least five second-rate sects."
"In comparison, it seems like our sect is at a disadvantage. Senior Mu Yuan, don't you think that I should receive some compensation?"
