Of course, some people had objections to this. “Not to mention the strong powers of the National Master of the Great Yuan, even if we all gang up on him, can we kill him? And if we do kill him, how many of us will have to die?”
“Exactly, if we anger the Great Yuan Imperial Court, draw in the soldiers and horses to surround the mountain, none of us will be able to escape.” Some also voiced their opposition. After all, they all had substantial families and businesses, countless disciples and grand-disciples. Faced with the encirclement of soldiers, they wouldn’t be able to run anywhere.
“By your reasoning, might as well just sit still and wait for death here. Why even bother coming to Taihe Mountain?” someone retorted angrily.
At this point in the Great Hall of Deliberation, with a variety of suggestions being floated, each person had their thoughts and calculations, making it difficult to reach a consensus.
True, everyone present at this meeting in the Great Hall, those with the eligible to speak, was either highly skilled or dominated a corner of the Jianghu.
How could they be easily persuaded by others?
One of Master Sanfeng’s disciples, Li Jingxiu, who stayed in the Hall of Deliberation, felt overwhelmed. Compared to this crowd he was just a junior.
Facing these incessant arguments, he had no way to stop them, despite his persistent attempts at persuasion, but nobody was listening.
He glanced at the current Celestial Master sitting quietly nearby, several masters from the North Zen Sect, the current leader of the Chunyang view, and so on – those elders with the requisite status to halt these people. Each of them seemed wholly unconcerned, showing no fear at the idea of these people breaking into a fight.
Just as Li Qingxiu was at a loss about the current situation, his eyes lit up when he saw his junior brothers, Danyang Zi and Pei Xuanjing being led into the hall. A smile crept onto his face.
“Senior Danyang Zi, I wonder what your thoughts are on this matter?” Li Qingxiu’s voice rang out in the hall, strikingly clear, and landing in the ears of everyone in the hall.
The Elder Celestial Master, who had been closing his eyes to rest, smiled at the sight, muttering to himself: Cunning fox.
Danyang Zi, who had just walked in, had a twitch at the corner of his mouth. How could he not understand that this junior was asking him to help quell this squabble?
Seeing Li Qingxiu look towards him with a pleading expression, he reluctantly shook his head, accepting the other party’s petition.
“Hahaha, everyone, please listen to an old Taoist’s words. How about it?” Danyang Zi started with a light laugh.
His voice was deep, resonating through the hall. Even without amplifying it with True Qi, it was as booming as thunder, suppressing the noise in the hall.
The crowd’s gaze could not help but turn to this Taoist, who had been extremely low-key since his arrival on Taihe Mountain.
The famous Shenxiao Sect is known to almost everyone. Especially Danyang Zi, the sect leader of Shenxiao Sect, who had quite a reputation in the world of martial arts.
After all, when the Shenxiao Sect was in decline, many forces tried to take advantage, but all were forcibly suppressed by Danyang Zi, solidifying his well-renowned status.
However, after arriving at Taihe Mountain, he remained low-key, which led to many people nearly overlooking his presence.
Now seeing him suddenly stand up, people couldn’t help but pause.
After all, the martial world still respects their mightiest practitioners. As a powerful man, Danyang Zits casual words would make many people think hard.
Now since he’s about to state his stance, these people can’t ignore his opinion.
Seeing that the noise died down, Li Qingxiu looked at Qiu Yuanjing and forced a bitter smile. In the end, their group’s power was still weak. Even as the hosts of the place, their words weren’t as effective as Danyang Zi’s.
Danyang Zi gave a smile of gratitude to those who showed him respect and the moment everyone was waiting for his advice, he surprised them by saying, “Masters of the Zen Sect, I wonder what your esteemed opinions on this matter are? After all, the Zen Sect has exceptional strength, I believe even the Great Yuan Imperial Court doesn’t dare easily provoke you?”
Being old made you a fox, throughout these many days of discussions, no viable solution had come about. Where would Danyang Zi dare to wade into these muddled waters?
If not for Li Qingxiu just setting him up, he would never have spoken so easily, and certainly would have continued to play dumb with the Elder Celestial Master.
The Shenxiao Sect and the Zen Sect have been old rivals. Since the rise of the Shenxiao Sect as the leader of the Daoist School, they have clashed with the Zen Sect several times.
So, no one understands the strength of the Zen Sect better than Danyang Zi. At this moment, since he stepped forward, he wouldn’t face these people alone and decisively dragged in the Zen Sect.
“…” The Zen masters were startled. They never expected Danyang Zi to be so shameless and blatantly drag them into this dispute.
This was Taihe Mountain, after all. Taoist Sanfeng was originally from the Zen Sect before he left, establishing the Taihe Mountain True Martial Sect. This caused great embarrassment to the Zen Sect.
They were already here at this meeting for the sake of martial arts fraternity, to hold up appearances. They did not plan to get seriously involved.
But this shameless Danyang Zi directly pulled them in, catching them off guard.
Everyone’s gaze followed Danyang Zi’s question and turned to the Zen masters, waiting for their response..
