Everyone looked at the old man in shock.
The old man's seniority in Daoism was far greater than that of the Worldly Daoist.
However, everyone subconsciously ignored this old man, regardless of the time.
This was because this old man was already trembling when he walked, and even when he spoke, he was out of breath.
In the eyes of almost everyone in the Daoist sect, all that was left of this old man was his experience.
In everyone's eyes, his strength had probably deteriorated beyond recognition. Any random Emperor Level Martial Artist would probably be able to defeat him.
However, no one dared to show him any disrespect.
This old man was the head of the ten elders of the Daoist sect — the First Elder, Morningfall Daoist.
Morningfall was the First Elder's Daoist name. It was also the best description of his current condition.
Morningfall Daoist's presence was even lower than that of the scout kneeling in the middle of the meeting hall.
Even though he was the head of the Daoist Ten Elders, no one had ever asked for his opinion on anything.
When the Worldly Daoist's gaze landed on Morningfall Daoist, some of the higher-ups finally realized that the First Elder was here.
Everyone's gaze followed the Worldly Daoist to Morningfall Daoist.
They were puzzled. Did the Worldly Daoist want the First Elder to express his opinion?
The Worldly Daoist finally spoke while everyone was puzzled.
"What do you think about Ying Tianzong, First Elder?"
The Worldly Daoist stared at Morningfall Daoist without blinking.
Everyone was even more puzzled. Was the Worldly Daoist really asking for the First Elder's opinion?
But what opinion could the First Elder have?
Even if the First Elder had an opinion, what could he do? Who would listen to him in his current condition?
Morningfall Daoist's eyes were closed as if he had fallen asleep. He slowly opened them when he heard the Worldly Daoist's words.
His expression didn't change at all.
He seemed to be trying his best to recall what everyone had said, or perhaps he was organizing his thoughts.
After a long while, Morningfall Daoist stood up shakily.
"I support the sect leader's decision. Since the Daoist Death Dictum is set for three days from now, let's wait.
What kind of tricks could a mere Ying Tianzong, a mere Alchemy Emperor come up with?
However, since Ying Tianzong has provoked our Dao Gate, our Dao Gate cannot sit still and wait for trouble to come knocking on our door.
I believe that there are already many people who have set their sights on my Dao Sect. In that case, let's release some bait.
Nine familial extermination for those who dare to lay their hands on my Dao Sect! "
The dying Daoist was a little out of breath after saying a few more words. However, the murderous intent in his tone made the entire meeting hall seem to have become colder.
"Let me handle this matter personally. Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder, come with me. "
The few people who were called out by the First Elder looked at each other. There was naturally no problem for them to handle this matter, but why would the First Elder personally go?
If something were to happen to her, it would be hard to explain.
Zi Xuanji probed, "Substitute Leader, why don't we send the Seven Color Envoys?"
The dying Daoist laughed.
"I didn't expect that there would still be people who are worried about me doing something in my twilight years. Times have changed. When I was young, the Sect Leader would personally invite me to handle every major matter.
Could it be that I'm really old? "
The mouths of the Dao Sect's upper echelons twitched.
"You really are old! Your age is already … "
At this moment, the upper echelons of the Dao Sect were all shocked again.
Just how old was the First Elder?
Elder Zi Xuanji frowned.
"It seems that the First Elder has been very old ever since I joined the Dao Sect. He's so old that I thought he would die of old age in a few years. "
Shock flashed across the Second Elder's eyes.
"As the Second Elder, I don't even know how old the First Elder is? He seems to have always been this old, right? But how can a person age for so long? Logically speaking, he should have … "
Almost everyone was puzzled.
While they were puzzled, they recalled the scene earlier. Under the pressure of the substitute Sect Leader, the First Elder was the only one who did not lower his head.
The Worldly Daoist smiled faintly.
"You must be joking, First Elder. You're the one who's never aged. Who would despise you for being old? I wanted to invite you to handle this matter. "
"Haha."
The Daoist in his twilight years smiled.
"That's why I say that the Sect Leader knows me best. Come, let's go and choose the bait. Those spies are not bad. Let's send them to their deaths. "
The Daoist in his twilight years strode out of the meeting hall.
Three of the ten elders of Daoism who had been called out hurriedly followed after him.
Zi Xuanji sighed inwardly.
The First Elder had even called the substitute Sect Leader wrongly. This was a taboo.
If he could even call out a title wrongly, he would definitely fail if he was sent to handle this matter.
After all, apart from the Worldly Daoist who had become the substitute Sect Leader, there were no other Half-Saints among the ten elders.
If the First Elder encountered people from the hidden sects or aristocratic families, he would probably die there.
At this thought, Zi Xuanji suddenly frowned again.
What realm was the First Elder at now? Why didn't he know?
It was fine if he didn't know, but why couldn't he see through it?
After the First Elder left, the meeting in the meeting hall was still not over.
The Worldly Daoist hammered down the resolutions against the Ying Tianzong one by one.
Since the Ying Tianzong had already made a move, how could the Taoist Sect not respond?
At least, it was necessary to warn the Ying Tianzong.
The large-scale attack would have to wait for three days.
At dusk, several warriors flew out of a secret cultivation realm of the Taoist Sect.
All traces of the Taoist Sect had disappeared from their bodies. They looked completely like a few rogue cultivators.
As soon as they left the Taoist Sect, they flew in different directions.
However, the one thing they had in common was that they were all carrying a disciple of the Taoist Sect who was panicking to the extreme but could not make any sound.
Not long after, the Daoist disciple they were carrying had already become a corpse.
They flew toward the Ying Tianzong from different directions.
At night, the entire Burning Sky Continent was in an uproar.
The conditions offered by the Ying Tianzong were too tempting.
Many Alchemists formed groups and headed in the direction of the Ying Heaven Sect. Transport Formations lit up everywhere.
Of course, most of the people heading toward the Ying Tianzong were warriors.
Among these warriors, there was no lack of people who had disguised their appearances and changed their voices.
These people were not willing to join the Ying Tianzong.
Therefore, before going to the Ying Tianzong, they would go to another place — the Taoist Sect!
At this moment, the Ying Tianzong was also in an uproar.
Most of the elders and disciples had been pessimistic about the conflict between the Ying Tianzong and the Taoist Sect.
However, they had never thought that Sect Leader Gu Xuan would come up with such a crazy plan against the Taoist Sect!
