Lin Tian went straight to the Fortune Hall.
At this moment, other than the Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect and the seven core elders that Lin Tian had met before, there were also other elders present.
These people were gathered here to discuss important matters that concerned the survival of the Martial Arts Sect.
"Patriarch, forgive me for not being able to agree with you. That Lin Tian may have inherited the legacy of the Martial Arts Emperor and received the recognition of the Martial Arts Emperor, but he is not a member of the Zaihua Martial Arts Sect. Who can guarantee that he will be of the same mind as the Martial Arts Sect?"
Lin Tian heard an elder say this before he even stepped into the hall. He couldn't help but smile coldly.
He wasn't in a hurry to enter. He stood at the entrance of the hall and listened.
When the Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect heard this elder's words, he frowned and said with some displeasure, "Are you doubting the judgment of the Martial Arts Emperor?"
The seven elders also looked at him unkindly.
This elder wasn't afraid and argued with reason, "The human heart is hard to predict. That Lin Tian may be talented, I admit, but who knows what he is thinking? Even the Martial Arts Emperor can make mistakes sometimes. "
"Moreover, it wasn't His Majesty himself who acknowledged him, but the will left behind by His Majesty."
"Lin Tian has inherited His Majesty's legacy. It's normal for this will to acknowledge him subconsciously. It would be fine if it were anyone else."
At this point, this elder curled his lips in disdain. He thought that Lin Tian had only been lucky to be acknowledged by the Martial Arts Emperor.
Therefore, he didn't agree with the Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect's decision to protect Zong Yi.
When they heard this, the elders who didn't want to fall out with the forces of Zhongzhou or even Dongyu all spoke up, unwilling to start a war.
In fact, there were even people who suggested that they hand Lin Tian over right now, so as to not give those people a reason to join hands against them, and directly stir up the pool of water in the outside world.
As for Lin Tian's inheritance, it was up to the outside world to fight for it.
In any case, they had already obtained it. As long as they sealed their doors and focused on cultivating, they would definitely regain their former glory in the future.
These words immediately won the approval of the anti-war faction.
Apart from the Seven Great Elders, only two or three people remained silent. They did not choose to retreat without a fight.
The Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect looked at this scene with some disappointment.
It wasn't as if he hadn't thought of this before.
There were several times when he was pressured by the forces of the Central State. When he was about to give up, he would wonder if it would be easier if he handed over Lin Tian.
However, what would happen after he handed her over?
Not only would the backbone of the Zaihua Martial Arts Sect collapse, but the secret skills of the Martial Arts Emperor that they relied on for survival would also become a collection of other people.
When that time came, would the Zaihua Martial Arts Sect still need to exist?
"You bunch of cowards. These people are obviously here for the inheritance of the Martial Arts Emperor. Are you going to give up the inheritance of your ancestor on a silver platter?"
The hot-tempered Sixth Elder stood up and pointed at the people in front of him. He gritted his teeth and scolded them.
When these people heard the Sixth Elder's words, their faces did not look too good.
One of them was unconvinced and said coldly, "I also don't want to give up the inheritance of the Martial Arts Emperor on a silver platter."
"But do we have a solution now? Tell me, do you have a solution? "
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. He stood up and pointed outside and said angrily, "Now, there are dozens of big and small forces in the Central State alone who are watching us."
"Moreover, news came from Dongyu that the major sects have crossed the void and are coming for us. Do you think we can stop them?"
"We can't drag the entire Sect down with us just for Lin Tian, can we?"
This person's voice echoed in the Fortune Palace.
Everyone quieted down.
The Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect and the seven elders were also silent.
Although they did not think that their idea was wrong, they also understood that their way of doing things was indeed a little extreme.
After all, not everyone was willing to protect the Martial Arts Sect with their lives.
Seeing that everyone was silent, this person sat down and closed his eyes. He said calmly, "Patriarch, I'll say it here. I will never agree to sacrifice the entire Sect to protect Lin Tian alone."
"I only have one opinion. Give up on Lin Tian and focus on cultivating Zhao Yu."
"Now, Zhao Yu is ranked eleventh on the Divine Prefecture Prodigy List. In the entire Divine Prefecture, there are only ten people who are stronger than her, and this is under the condition that she has not cultivated the complete Martial Arts Emperor's Heart Sutra."
"If she has cultivated the complete Martial Arts Emperor's Heart Sutra, this ranking can definitely be moved up and she can compete with the Saints and Saintesses from the other imperial lineages."
Hearing this, the anti-war faction immediately became active and agreed, "Yes, we also agree to give up on Lin Tian and cultivate Zhao Yu."
"After all, no matter what, we watched Zhao Yu grow up, and his father was even an elder of our sect that passed away. He's much better than that Lin Tian whose origins are unknown."
"As long as Zhao Yu can rise, we can take back everything that the Zaihua Martial Arts Sect has lost today!"
An elder of the anti-war faction said excitedly.
"But our Martial Arts Sect will never be able to stand up straight. The shame we have left behind will be nailed into the history books. Even if Zhao Yu becomes an emperor, she will not be able to change it!"
The taciturn Third Elder suddenly said, hitting the nail on the head.
Everyone fell silent again.
The first elder of the anti-war faction who had proposed to hand over Lin Tian could not help but say, "There is no way to have the best of both worlds. There are gains and losses."
"If we want to keep the Martial Arts Sect, we have to pay a price."
"Moreover, I don't think it is shameful to endure humiliation. This can also spur the disciples of the Sect to work hard in cultivation."
"But I remember that the ancestral teachings left by His Majesty are to rather break than bend!"
The Sixth Elder looked at the elder with a sarcastic expression and said, "You are the first person who can say that a coward is a great person."
When the elder heard this, he suddenly became like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He pointed at the Sixth Elder and said angrily, "Don't slander me. Who is a coward? I am doing this for the good of the Martial Arts Sect. I don't want the disciples of the Martial Arts Sect to lose their heads and shed their blood for an unknown person! "
He was full of righteous indignation and his spittle flew everywhere. He looked as if he had been greatly wronged.
The Sixth Elder looked at him with disdain. He was too lazy to argue with this group of cowardly and cowardly people.
The Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect, on the other hand, was having a headache.
Although he was a staunch supporter of the Baolin Sect, the Zaihua Martial Arts Sect did not belong to him alone.
In addition to the seven core elders and the powerhouses who were Emperors, the Zaihua Martial Arts Sect also had the Qian and Kun Peaks' Peak Masters and Peak Masters, as well as several guardian elders and several great elders who were in closed-door cultivation.
The elder who firmly opposed the idea of protecting Lin Tian was one of Qian Feng's guardian elders. He represented Qian Feng's will and attended the meeting.
With him as the leader, both the Qian and Kun Peaks were against the idea.
Only the Law Enforcement Elder and the Reward and Punishment Elder remained silent. They did not support or oppose the idea. They did not even say anything, as if it had nothing to do with them.
This caused the Sect Leader of the Martial Sect to be in a difficult position.
If he insisted on sticking to his plan, it was very likely that before the enemy arrived, the Martial Arts Sect would split up on its own.
This was the last thing the Patriarch of Martial Arts Sect wanted to see.
"Haha, for the good of the Martial Arts Sect? What a noble character. I don't know who gave you the courage to say this … "At this moment, a slightly sarcastic voice was heard from outside.
Then, footsteps were heard from the door. A young man in white with his back facing the sun and a face full of sarcasm slowly stepped into the hall.
When the guardian elder of Qian Feng heard this, he frowned and looked over. When he saw that it was an unfamiliar young face, he reprimanded him with an unfriendly expression, "Whose disciple are you? Don't you know that the Fortune Hall is an important place in the Martial Arts Sect? No one is allowed to enter."
