That night, within the eight great sects, the sect leaders, core elders, and important elders all gathered together to discuss important matters.
Level 8 Heavenly Masters were not knowledgeable and did not know what the bones of a strange beast that could move meant. However, the sect leaders knew clearly.
The Regenerative Crystal Core was something that all the sect leaders yearned for even in their dreams!
Compared to the Regenerative Crystal Core, the Giant Bear's bones were nothing. Just a moment ago, the vice sect leaders of the eight great sects had all arrived. After all, this kind of matter did not require the sect leaders to personally appear.
Even if the vice sect leaders appeared, they were all level 9 Heavenly Masters. Once it involved the level of a level 9 Heavenly Master, it had a completely different meaning. When the level 9 Heavenly Master arrived, everyone immediately stopped and did not fight at all. After a friendly discussion, each sect took the bones that were almost the same and left.
Next, it was the problem of the Regenerative Crystal Core.
Everyone knew that the Regenerative Crystal Core was in the hands of the Ice Fire Union, which meant that it was in the hands of Lu An. If this Regenerative Crystal Core was in the hands of a certain sect, they could even directly start the first real war since the beginning of the world's chaos for this Regenerative Crystal Core. However, it was in the hands of Lu An, which was very troublesome!
The Regenerative Crystal Core was such a precious thing. Would Fu Yu interfere?
Fu Yu was the young mistress of the Fu Clan. Would the entire Fu Clan interfere?
It was true that the Eight Ancient Clans had never cared about anything since the world was in chaos. In fact, they had completely disappeared and never appeared again. However, everyone knew that the Eight Ancient Clans were not completely wiped out. It was inevitable that they would reappear because of benefits!
Even the thirty-one sects did not know much about the Hachiko Clan. Most of the sects only knew that the Hachiko Clan was very powerful and could not be offended. However, they did not know much about the background and vision of the Hachiko Clan. Whether the Hachiko Clan would be interested in the Regenerative Crystal Core was indeed a problem.
The important problem was … if the Hachiko Clan did not even care about the Regenerative Crystal Core, then what else in this world would they care about?
When they thought of the Hachiko clan, the eight sects felt a headache coming on. They were indeed very afraid of the Hachiko clan. After all, the Hachiko clan had once caused rivers of blood to flow in many sects overnight. Even a Level 9 Heavenly Master could not escape. This kind of strength made them fearful. However, it was too difficult for them to give up on a single Regenerative Crystal Core. Moreover, what if the Hachiko clan didn't care anymore? Wouldn't that be a missed opportunity?
At this moment, in the Misty Rain Sect.
There was a huge mountain that towered into the clouds. The top of the mountain was exposed under the moonlight. There was a pure white and quiet palace at the top of the mountain.
At this moment, Sect Leader Yan Xi, Vice Sect Leader Yan Yue, Vice Sect Leader Yan Min, as well as other core elders, including a special Yan Taotao, were all sitting in the palace, discussing this matter.
However, the Misty Rain Sect's discussion was more troublesome than the other seven sects. The reason was simple. When they were at the ocean scene, Lu An And Yao had been very close to the Misty Rain Sect. Therefore, the other seven sects directly thought that the Ice Fire Alliance and the Misty Rain Sect were very close.
Because of this, it was easy for people to suspect that the Ice Fire Alliance would give the Regenerative Crystal Core to the Misty Rain Sect. This caused the Misty Rain Sect to become the target of the other sects.
Just now, the Flower Moon Sect even sent an elder to inquire about this matter. Yan Xi personally said that the Regenerative Crystal Core was definitely not in the Misty Rain Sect. Even the Flower Moon Sect was suspicious, let alone the other sects.
"The most important thing now is to clarify the relationship." In the palace, Yan Min said in a deep voice. Although Yan Min was the Vice Sect Leader and a Level 9 Heavenly Master, she rarely participated in the sect's matters. What she did most often was to guide the Misty Rain Sect's elders and disciples in their cultivation. Other than that, she did not care about anything else. In her opinion, the Misty Rain Sect could only continue to exist if she increased her own strength.
However, this matter was too big. After Yan Min learned about it, she had no choice but to participate. She looked at Yan Xi and Yan Yue and said, "Either we cut ties or we get closer. Our attitude is the key."
Although Yan Min rarely participated, it did not mean that she did not understand. Everyone listened and nodded. Yan Che also said, "The Vice Sect Leader is right. Besides, the other sects are not so easy to fool. If we cut ties, we must make it clear that we are neutral and will not interfere in the matter of seizing the Regenerative Crystal Core. Or we can say that we are enemies of the Ice Fire Alliance and can join forces with the other sects to seize the Regenerative Crystal Core."
Yan Min nodded slightly and turned to look at Yan Yue. Her voice was obviously questioning. She said, "Why are you so close to the Ice Fire Alliance? They are destined to be destroyed and have no value. "
Yan Yue frowned slightly but quickly relaxed. She said, "You want to cut ties with the Ice Fire Alliance?"
"That's right." Yan Min said, "Is there a need to discuss this matter?"
"…"
Looking at the two Vice Sect Leaders questioning each other, even the Core Elders all shut up and did not dare to speak.
Just when Yan Yue was about to say something, Yan Xi finally spoke.
"Okay." Yan Xi looked at the two and said, "Don't argue. We can't mess up."
Yan Yue heard this and shrugged. She turned her head and did not speak.
"My opinion is the same as Yan Min's. Cut ties, but at the same time, we can't give up the Regenerative Crystal Core." Yan Xi looked at Yan Che and said, "Yan Che, later you go to the seven sects to express my attitude. I am willing to join forces with them to force the Ice Fire Alliance to hand over the Regenerative Crystal Core."
"Yes!" Yan Che said immediately.
After a while, after the meeting ended, everyone dispersed to do their own things. Yan Yue and Yan Min did not stay long and left directly. Soon, only Yan Xi and his daughter Yan Taotao were left in the palace.
From beginning to end, Yan Taotao did not say a word. After making many decisions, Yan Xi also took a deep breath. He looked at his daughter and asked, "What's wrong? Why haven't you said anything? "
Hearing her mother's words, Yan Taotao turned to look at Yan Xi and struggled to say, "If the Ice Fire Alliance really saved me, aren't we biting the hand that feeds us?"
"That's right." Yan Xi agreed.
"Then mother still …" Yan Taotao was a little anxious.
"Taotao, you are not young, and your strength is not weak. You have seen many things happen in the sects. You should know that there is no such thing as kindness in this world." Yan Xi looked at his daughter and said seriously, "In addition to the real family relationship where blood is thicker than water, everything in the world is driven by interests. Even you were saved because of interests. Only by doing things that are beneficial to us can we live longer. "
"In the future, I hope you can sit in my position." Yan Xi looked at his daughter and said seriously, "This position is very cold. It is the same for all sects. Only those who are used to the cold are qualified to sit here and lead the sect to the future."
"…"
Yan Taotao was silent, but finally nodded.
Seeing this, Yan Xi showed a comforting smile. He patted his daughter on the shoulder and said, "The most unreliable thing in this world is lust. You have to learn to calm yourself down."
With that, Yan Xi did not stay in the palace any longer. He got up and left. Soon, only Yan Taotao was left in the huge and empty palace. In such a high place, she felt even colder.
Yan Taotao knew that her mother was right. She was saved only because the other party did it for interests. But even so, she could not face it so coldly.
In the six years in the dungeon, no one could understand her despair. The other party did save her for interests, but she remembered clearly how dutiful that man was in the process of saving her, how much dignity he gave her. There was no trace of evil, contempt or disdain in that man's eyes, only seriousness and a faint anger and killing intent. This made her feel that she still had shame, that she still had value, that she was a real person.
This may not seem like much to others, but for her, it saved her spiritual life.
Thinking of this, Yan Taotao took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at her mother's high seat.
The moonlight shone through the window, like a layer of frost. It looked very cold.
If it was really so cold — she would rather not sit!
