Chapter 2171: Do you all intend to make the whole world your enemy?

"Quiet."

As the elder opened his mouth, the originally noisy hall quickly fell silent, utterly still.

Everyone's gaze turned to the two elders seated above the main seat, waiting for their command.

Seeing everyone's gaze, the elder who had just spoken then continued.

"Destroying the Dao One Immortal Sect is merely a flip of the hand, but what about those tens of thousands of devotees? What do you plan to do?"

It's still the same; the real issue is those devotees of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Upon hearing this, someone muttered softly.

"But can we just let it go like that? The Dao One Immortal Sect is bullying too much."

"Hmph, do you all intend to make my Li family the enemy of the world?"

Although the words were soft, they were still heard by the two elders above the main seat; one elder snorted coldly and said.

Facing this elder's questioning, the Li family members below all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

They naturally dare not refute the elder; even if they had the courage of a bear and leopard, they would not dare openly question the elder's decision.

Moreover, those tens of thousands of devotees, aside from their own cultivation strength, also have extraordinary status.

If in a great battle they really killed that batch, for the Li family it would indeed be a major trouble.

Then, when their sects and families behind them investigate, the Li family would indeed find it hard to explain.

Moreover, with so many forces united, the Li family would indeed find it hard to cope, possibly even bringing catastrophic disaster upon the family.

Therefore, the tens of thousands of devotees of the Dao One Immortal Sect truly cannot be killed at will.

Probably the Dao One Immortal Sect is relying on this point to act so recklessly, having figured out the Li family, because of these devotees, they dare not act rashly, thus gradually weakening the Li family's strength to eventually replace them.

Some Li family members thought this way, and this is also the most reasonable explanation at present.

Seeing everyone silent, the two elders above the main seat also knew they had grasped the crux of the problem, so they stopped wasting words and immediately spoke.

"Before taking action against the Dao One Immortal Sect, we must first ensure that no major powers interfere in this matter."

"The current plan is for us to go in person; you, according to the arrangement, personally visit the major powers, striving to persuade them not to participate."

"Those devotees, my Li family also guarantees not to harm their lives."

"In terms of influence, my Li family is still far above the Dao One Immortal Sect; once everything is ready, it will be the time to overthrow the Dao One Immortal Sect."

The two elders began to give orders one by one.

The Li family has controlled Wuji Xiancheng for many years; its influence in the Immortal Realm naturally surpasses that of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

The Dao One Immortal Sect has only been established for a few years; compared to the Li family, the difference is vast.

Upon hearing the two elders' orders, the Li family members nodded in agreement one after another.

Everyone was assigned to a certain power, personally going to visit and persuade them.

After arranging matters, the two elders had everyone set out immediately, not to delay; upon success, they were to send word back to the family at once.

"Yes."

Everyone nodded in unison; at night, the Li family members could be said to have mobilized the entire nest.

Moreover, those selected are basically the Li family's core members; after all, if just anyone were sent, it would not show the Li family's sincerity, making it naturally hard to persuade the other side.

Only with sufficient sincerity can success be achieved.

One after another, immortal vessels flew out from Wuji Xiancheng, speeding off in all directions.

On these immortal vessels sat the Li family's core members.

Their status and position within the Li family are sufficient to represent the Li family.

The Li family is rather cautious, not acting rashly in anger; otherwise, success might not be guaranteed.

However, the Li family has realized this; the Dao One Immortal Sect side naturally cannot be unaware.

At this moment, inside the main hall of the Dao One Immortal Sect, Qi Xiong, Wu Shou, Huang Lao, Zuo Fu, and more than ten devotee representatives.

Everyone was likewise discussing the battle over Wuji Xiancheng.

Since this battle must be fought, we naturally need to work out a plan—how to fight, how to fight, all need a plan.

Huang Lao and Zuo Fu, meanwhile, kept their eyes closed, cultivating their spirit.

The two of them aren't particularly interested in this; their idea is simple: as long as Ye Zhangqing speaks, they will act; otherwise, they have no interest.

Today, too, Ye Zhangqing has spoken, so the two have appeared.

Meanwhile, the devotee representatives present also began to discuss the issues of their respective forces; someone then said.

"Sect Master, I suspect the Li family will likely send people to visit our sect and family, urging them not to intervene in this battle, and possibly even try to win them over; we too must prepare early."

"Yes, although we are all sect devotees, if the sect decides to lend aid to the Li family, we would indeed be in a difficult position............"

Someone spoke tactfully; this is indeed also true.

They are surely wholeheartedly on the side of the Dao One Immortal Sect, but if their sect and family behind them turn toward the Li family, they cannot possibly become enemies with their sect and family.

By then they would have many misgivings, likely ruining the matter.

Merely while speaking, the devotee representatives would from time to time glance at Huang Lao and Zuo Fu.

All that they worry about is actually based on the premise that Huang Lao and Zuo Fu will not intervene.

Once these two act, the matter becomes simple; moreover, even if their sect and family later turn toward the Li family, it cannot change the overall situation.

At worst, we could just wipe them all out; thus they remain fearful, worried that the sect and family might do something foolish, leading to regret later.

Huang Lao and Zuo Fu won't bother with all that; this is the benefit brought by strength.

When strength reaches a certain level, one can truly do as one pleases; this is no exaggeration, but fact.

And now, the best approach is for them to personally return to their families and sects before the war, doing their utmost to persuade those people.

Even if they do not stand on the side of the Dao One Immortal Sect, they must at least ensure mutual non‑assistance; then, when they act, they will have no reservations.

After all, their current identity is as representatives of the Dao One Immortal Sect, unrelated to their own sect and family.

Upon hearing the proposal of the elders' representatives, Qi Xiong nodded slightly in agreement, and then immediately agreed to this proposal.

Have these elders' representatives go back and tell the others; anyone who wishes to return can set off immediately.

As much as possible, persuade their sect and family not to leave any worries behind.

Seeing Qi Xiong nod, these more than ten elders all rose, clasped their fists, and said.

"Sect Master, rest assured, we will surely do our utmost and will definitely persuade the sect (family)."

"Good, if you need anything, feel free to contact Wu Shou; he will fully assist you."

"Yes."
