Chapter 1734: The Immortals' Decision

"Wait for the Illusion Sect and the Tiangong to fight each other." He He Lingchuan tapped his fists together; this meant fighting in sign language, "It's not that easy for the Illusion Sect to adopt the suggestion of an outsider like me; this requires Bai Bai Ziqi to exert more effort. It's hard to teach people to bow their heads, but letting the situation teach them to bow their heads is a matter of course! At the very least, Xiao Wencheng, as Sect Master, feels the pressure and is now wavering. When the war situation becomes even more unfavorable, other Immortals will also start considering my suggestion."

No rush. His suggestion was placed there like a devil's temptation; sooner or later, more people would be tempted.

Zhu Zhu Xiuer asked: "What shall we do?"

"We must call out True Person Qianhuan! I don't have as much confidence in this group of Immortals as they have in themselves." He He Lingchuan said without hesitation, "But before that, we will fully assist the Illusion Sect!"

"These guys look down their noses at people; do we still have to help them?" Dong Rui was sullen, feeling unhappy in his heart.

But he also understood in his heart that he and the others were temporarily tied to the Illusion Sect; if the Illusion Sect lost, not only would they not be able to get out of the Inverted Sea, but they would also be surrounded and killed by the Tiangong.

"Of course." He He Lingchuan opened his mouth, "Bai Bai Ziqi must have brought a trump card into this trip. In this life-and-death game, whoever shows their cards first is passive; we must force him to show his trump card first!"

True Person Qianhuan coming out into the world and fighting the Tiangong to the death was the situation he loved to see.

Before entering the Inverted Sea today, he had thought about helping the Illusion Sect and Qianhuan; after all, if Miao Miao Zhantian and the Tiangong succeeded, the disaster would be endless.

But after hearing about the Great Expansion Heavenly Pearl, he immediately changed his mind and had new ideas.

Dong Rui gestured: "Can Bai Bai Ziqi force Qianhuan out?"

"Rest assured, he knows very well what kind of enemy he is facing. Don't underestimate him, and don't underestimate Miao Miao Zhantian." He He Lingchuan continued, "However, as long as he discovers True Person Qianhuan's abnormality, he likely won't be in a hurry to find Qianhuan."

He understood Bai Bai Ziqi quite well, and could even deduce the other party's train of thought.

Dong Rui asked curiously: "If he's not in a hurry to find Qianhuan, what does he want to do?"

Before He He Lingchuan could speak, Zhu Zhu Xiuer poked the ground a few times with its claws: "Is that even a question? While Qianhuan hasn't come out yet, kill all his disciples and grand-disciples first! Cut off his wings and pull out his claws, then deal with him slowly—if it were me, I would definitely do that!"

He He Lingchuan praised: "As expected of Big Sister."

As long as it involved fighting, Big Sister was always so sharp.

He continued gesturing: "So there is only a life-and-death battle between the Tiangong and the Illusion Sect, and there is room for us to play our part."

After they finished chatting, the quiet room door opened, and four elders walked out in a hurry, while Xiao Wencheng invited He He Lingchuan into the room.

"Island Master He, we can still handle a few teams of Tiangong people." Xiao Wencheng said sternly, "You can just watch the battle here."

As soon as these words were spoken, He He Lingchuan knew they didn't intend to adopt his suggestion.

But if they denied it from the beginning, why did they close the door to discuss it? It showed that some people were tempted, but they couldn't overcome the verbal abuse of other Immortals.

Bringing danger directly to the Immortal Venerable like this was rebellious! Even if they really used the enemy to "invite" the Immortal Venerable out, how would they explain it to Qianhuan himself afterwards? We couldn't beat them, we were afraid of death, so we pushed all the strong enemies to you, the elder?

Even Xiao Wencheng couldn't afford this crime, so after a fierce debate among the Immortals, they could only choose a conservative therapy—no, fighting style.

Dong Rui spoke without restraint: "If there is any slip-up here, the Immortal Venerable will also be in danger."

Elder Xu glared with tiger eyes, but before he could speak, He He Lingchuan preempted him: "We respect your sect's decision! This time resisting the Tiangong invasion, we will naturally assist with all our strength."

"Island Master He has a heart." Xiao Wencheng was very polite, obviously not caring much about their assistance, "You few stay here and watch the battle with us."

None of these Spirit Mountain guests were Immortals. The Illusion Sect was full of talent and had vast divine abilities; would they lack this little bit of strength?

He He Lingchuan answered with a hearty "Good" and went to look at the mirror, not saying another word.

"He kid guessed right again." Zhu Zhu Xiuer's voice sounded in the ears of Dong and He, "These Immortals were hesitant from the beginning and missed the opportunity, and only when forced by the situation will they reluctantly adopt your suggestion, but by then they will have to pay a greater price! Heh, what kind of Immortals are these? They don't have the decisiveness and style of the ancient war at all!"

He He Lingchuan looked at it. Those who were decisive didn't live past the war.

Xiao Wencheng's decision was likely the result of fierce consultation among the Illusion Sect Immortals. In True Person Qianhuan's world, Xiao Wencheng couldn't truly cover the sky with one hand and make all the decisions.

He He Lingchuan's eyes flashed. In his view, this multi-headed management and multi-party discussion method of the Immortal Sect was somewhat powerless and sluggish when facing major events.

Miao Miao Zhantian had just openly displayed the iconic "Eye of Truth," which was a declaration of war against the entire Illusion Sect! The Illusion Sect might not be afraid of the Tiangong, but facing a Great Heavenly Demon, they must be under a lot of pressure.

The Tiangong team had entered the Inverted Sea for less than half a day, and the situation was about to develop into a life-and-death struggle; this would also be a life-and-death battle for the Illusion Sect, and they couldn't afford to be careless at all! As a result, this group of Immortals was afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, and no one was willing to take responsibility.

He He Lingchuan was slightly disappointed.

Thinking back, among the ancient Immortals, there were great abilities like the Black Dragon God, True Person Minghui, and Immortal Shou'an who had the courage and responsibility to sacrifice their lives for thousands of living beings.

Sigh, that was just the past.

"May I ask presumptuously." Dong Rui pointed to the sand table, "What's the next step? You're not going to let Bai Bai Ziqi's fleet land, are you?"

"Lure them here." Xiao Wencheng didn't avoid him now, and pointed, "Inverted Lake!"

Elder Xu's face changed, and his tone wasn't good: "Sect Master Senior Brother, why do you still want to..."

Xiao Wencheng waved his hand: "As he said, the Tiangong team will always land; we cannot keep elevating the land, the best way is to choose a location most favorable to us and lure them ashore! Is there any location more suitable than the Inverted Lake? You fellow junior brothers just say it."

Elder Xu opened his mouth, but didn't say anything; obviously, he couldn't think of one for a moment.

Elder Liu tugged at his sleeve and shook his head at him.

He He Lingchuan asked curiously: "When I first boarded Silver Pearl Island, I also visited the Inverted Lake and didn't see any clues."

What he was thinking about was the question Elder Xu blurted out; what else did Xiao Wencheng want to do?

The innkeeper had said that during the ten days when the storm wall opened, perhaps Yaksha ghosts and monsters would crawl out of the lake to eat people.

Was Sect Master Xiao thinking of using them?

But why was Elder Xu not fast?
