"Patriarch, it doesn't matter if those people leave. It's not necessarily a good thing for people like them to stay."
The First Elder of the Martial arts sect saw the Patriarch of the Martial arts sect's melancholy and could not help but comfort him.
The Patriarch of the Martial arts sect nodded, then looked at Lin Tian and asked, "First Elder, what should we do next?"
Lin Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Gather the disciples and tell them everything."
"Ah?"
Hearing this, the Patriarch of the Martial arts sect and the seven elders were all stunned.
The Sixth Elder asked in confusion, "Won't that cause panic among the disciples?"
"But do you think that we can still keep it a secret?"
Lin Tian asked in return, somewhat amused.
Hearing this, everyone was silent.
Indeed, at this point, there was no way to keep it a secret. Once Elder Qian Feng and the others went out, they would definitely spread the news.
"I know what you're worried about. You're afraid that the disciples will leave and the Zaihua Martial arts sect will fall apart. But have you ever thought about what these disciples will think if we keep this secret until the enemy comes?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Tian hit the nail on the head. "They'll hate you for not telling them the truth."
"Even if some of them manage to escape in the future, they won't think about reviving the Martial arts sect. They'll even slander it."
"This is the human heart!"
"Sigh …"
Hearing this, everyone could not help but sigh and sit down dejectedly. Lin Tian continued, "So, we need to tell these people the truth. Whether they stay or leave, it's up to them to decide."
Hearing this, the Patriarch of the Martial arts sect sighed again. "This is the only way now …"
Clang —

Clang —
That day, the Martial arts sect's alarm bell rang continuously.
At this moment, many disciples in the Zaihua Martial Arts sect had received the news and knew about the Patriarch of the Martial arts sect's decision.
Many people were complaining about their decision.
They believed that the Patriarch of Martial Arts sect was risking all their lives for his own selfish reasons.
Many people were already prepared to leave with the Qiankun and Qiankun Peak Masters and Elders.
Therefore, at this moment, when they heard the alarm, everyone understood why the Patriarch had gathered everyone.
Many people sneered as they arrived at the square below Fortune Peak that could hold tens of thousands of people.
They wanted to see what the Patriarch of Martial Arts sect would say to deceive them.
"In my opinion, Patriarch is old and blind. Lin Tian was just lucky enough to receive the inheritance of His Majesty, the Martial arts Emperor. He is not a real person. Compared to Senior Brother Zhao Yu, he is thousands of miles away. Is it worth our entire Martial arts sect to protect him?"
"That's right. He even broke off relations with the Qiankun and Qiankun Peaks because of this. Isn't this pushing our Martial arts sect into the abyss?"
Some people in the crowd were indignant and disdainful. They were very dissatisfied with the Patriarch of Martial Arts sect's decision.
Hearing these words, a shifty-eyed young man in the crowd lowered his voice and cautiously said, "Stop talking. It won't be good if they hear us. I heard that Lin Tian is now in charge of the Martial arts sect. Even the Patriarch and the Seven Elders have to curry favor with him."
"The Law Enforcing Elder questioned Lin Tian because of his impartiality. In the end, he was executed. The Patriarch and the Seven Elders are all on his side."
"There's such a thing?"
Hearing this, everyone was angry.
The man didn't say anything else. Instead, he sighed and said, "Sigh, the Martial arts sect now is no longer the Martial arts sect of the past …"
Seeing that this person didn't even dare to talk, the people next to him were even more furious. They couldn't help but snort and say, "In that case, let's go. We'll follow the Qiankun and Qiankun Peaks. As long as the Qiankun and Qiankun Peaks exist, our Martial arts sect won't be destroyed."
"That's right. Since the Patriarch wants to protect Lin Tian, let them do it. We'll follow the Qiankun and Qiankun Peaks. As long as Senior Zhao Yu can rise, we'll be the orthodox sect."
Someone followed and shouted.
Hearing this, everyone agreed.
Xiao Hei stood on a stone pillar and watched this scene with a sneer in her eyes.
As a bystander, it wasn't difficult for her to see that someone was deliberately fanning the flames to drive the crowd's emotions.
However, she didn't do anything to stop them.
Because in Xiao Hei's eyes, if this group of people chose to side with others just because of a few words, they wouldn't be qualified to follow her Playboy.
If they left, it would only be their own loss.
"Everyone, quiet —"
Just as the square was in chaos and the crowd was clamoring, a loud and clear voice overpowered everyone.
The square immediately quieted down. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the middle-aged man in a white robe who stepped down from the Fortune Peak.
At this moment, many people were dissatisfied with him.
However, not many people dared to challenge the Patriarch's authority.
"Today, I'd like to announce a few important things to everyone."
The Patriarch of the Zaihua Martial Arts sect didn't beat around the bush. He went straight to the point and said, "First, a month ago, our Martial arts sect's lost inheritance has been completely recovered. Now, the two scrolls of the Martial arts Emperor's Heart Sutra have been perfected."
Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar and expressed their surprise.
Not many people knew about this.
The Qian and Kun Peaks didn't reveal it either.
Looking at the disciples of the Martial arts sect who were talking animatedly, the Patriarch of the Martial Arts sect raised his hand and gestured. When the crowd quieted down again, he continued, "Second, the person who sent the inheritance to our Martial arts sect is named Lin Tian. I believe that all of you know what happened a month ago."
"Now, he has been recognized by the will of the Martial arts Emperor. He is the Martial arts Emperor and the rightful successor of our Martial arts sect."
Hearing this, the crowd was shocked again. Before they could discuss it, the Patriarch of the Martial Arts sect continued, "Now, whether it's Dongyu or Zhongzhou, they are all sharpening their swords against our Martial arts sect. They want to take away our inheritance. Do you think we should hand it over?"
The Patriarch of the Martial Arts sect almost shouted the last sentence. His voice was so terrifying and deafening that the surrounding mountains shook.
Everyone stared blankly at the Patriarch of the Martial Arts sect. They only knew that he wanted to protect Lin Tian, but they didn't know that there were so many other things involved.
"Didn't those people from Dongyu come to take revenge on Lin Tian? What does it have to do with the inheritance of our Martial arts sect? Patriarch, don't lie to us! "
At this time, a voice of doubt came from the crowd.
This person was the shifty-eyed young man who had been leading the crowd.
Hearing his question, the hot-blooded disciples of the Martial arts sect immediately calmed down.
"Yes, Dongyu wants to kill Lin Tian for revenge. What does this have to do with our Martial arts sect?"
"Could it be that the Patriarch made this up to deceive us?"
Everyone looked suspiciously at the Patriarch of the Martial Arts sect and questioned him.
"Don't tell me you don't know why the Eastern Region has become enemies with Lin Tian?" The Martial Sect's Sect Master's gaze was sharp as he looked at the shifty-eyed youth.
Seeing this, the shifty-eyed young man shrunk his neck and didn't dare to make a sound.
Seeing this, the Patriarch of the Martial Arts sect knew that this guy was hired by someone to make trouble. He didn't want to argue with him, so he explained to the crowd, "The reason why Lin Tian wants to become enemies with Dongyu is because of the inheritance of the Martial arts Emperor. And this inheritance was left behind by our Zaihua Martial Arts sect, His Majesty the Martial Arts Emperor."
"Now, Dongyu is just coveting the inheritance of our Martial arts sect in the name of revenge. Do you think we should back down?"
The Patriarch of the Martial Arts sect asked loudly.
When the crowd heard this, they whispered to each other. Then, someone shouted, "That shouldn't have happened!"
Then, many of the disciples who were loyal to the Martial arts sect and had received the favor of the Martial arts Emperor last time started to protest angrily.
"Yes, we can't back down!"
"This group of robbers wants the inheritance of our Martial arts sect this time. If we agree, they might want to empty our entire Martial arts sect next time. I'd rather die in glory than live in dishonor!"
"Whoever wants to eat our Martial arts sect, we'll break their teeth!"
Many hot-blooded disciples gnashed their teeth and shouted fiercely. They had a common enemy.
However, only a few people were hot-blooded like them.
More people chose to protect themselves. They lowered their heads and remained silent. They had already made up their minds.
