The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

Tang Yi spoke at an undisguised volume, deliberately speaking so that the Mo bandits on the other side could hear.

The implication is that they're not stupid!

At this moment, although there were many people on site, it was unusually quiet, except for those on the outermost edge who were unaware of the true situation inside and were whispering among themselves.

The negotiations between the two key figures were so intense that every word they uttered was crucial to the future of northern Mongolia.

Therefore, no one dared to act recklessly.

However, Tang Yi's identity is quite special. Although her journey here was full of twists and turns, her public identity is, in a sense, more valuable than that of the Wild Clan!

Even all the powerful beings present combined were not as worthy of attention as the Flame God's power within her.

Even if you speak your mind and say everything that should and shouldn't be said, the Hundred Refinement True Ancestor will only dismiss it with the excuse that "the child is still young and doesn't understand."

Moreover, Tang Yi was right; the desert bandits were clearly after the inheritance of their Hundred Refinement Pavilion.

Peace and coexistence are nothing but excuses, a means to achieve one's goals.

Gu Yi's gaze subtly swept over the bandits, focusing on the three mysterious and powerful figures who stood atop a statue in the central square, their faces as cold as iron, like returning kings, looking down upon all living beings from their lofty heights.

A bold guess popped into my mind: these three people are very likely the real form of the Demon Elephant Giant!

That is, the so-called Great Wilderness Clan!

Snapped--

Mo Xinren snapped his fingers crisply, drawing everyone's attention, and said with a smile, "You can choose to refuse, but everything has a price to pay. It depends on whether you can accept it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bandits behind him immediately became agitated, raising their weapons and shouting for battle.

Standing atop the statue of the deceased sage, the three members of the Wilderness Clan each released a wisp of aura from their bodies, threatening everyone overtly and covertly.

Sensing this aura, Yuji Xianshi's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

A small force of elite soldiers is a large force.

Even though the Hundred Refinements Pavilion possesses a golden puppet army at full power comparable to cultivators at the Transformation Bridge Realm, fearless of the cold and pain, and only capable of obeying orders.

They also have an absolute advantage in terms of the number of people.

However, in front of the Great Wilderness Clan, they were still as weak as clay chickens and earthen dogs, utterly vulnerable.

Let's put it this way, if it weren't for Mo Xinren's longing for the Hundred Refinements Pavilion's millennia-old heritage and the wealth of Wan Xiong from ancient times...

Why make an exception and use "peace" as a pretext for negotiations?

Just unleash the Wild Clan to raze the Hundred Refinement Pavilion!

However, if he does that, the millennia-old heritage and immense wealth will most likely be destroyed and buried along with the Supreme Sages who fought to the death.

As the saying goes, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze!

Although Mo Xinren also learned that the Hundred Refinements Pavilion had started its training ahead of schedule and transferred most of its disciples out to preserve the flame and inheritance to the greatest extent possible, even if it failed this time, there would still be opportunities in the future.

But since he possesses the ability to directly destroy a hegemonic force.

Regardless of success or failure, once the news gets out, other forces in the Five Regions will inevitably be on guard.

By then, it will be difficult to bring those people back and seize that wealth!

The wise man of the throne weighed the options in his mind.

Should I become a sinner of the Hundred Refinements Pavilion...?

Given the current situation, they are no match for the Wilderness Clan in a head-on confrontation.

If they were to submit to the desert bandits, they might be able to preserve the Hundred Refinements Pavilion, but what they would gain in return would be a life of humiliation and living in the shadow of others.

And this wise man of his...

He will also become the first sinner since the establishment of the Hundred Refinements Pavilion to submit to the enemy and betray the country to seek peace!

But what if you choose to fight to the death...

Under the absolute suppression of power, the Hundred Refinements Pavilion could not escape annihilation either.

In that time, he will also become the first sinner to personally bury his home.

It seems that no matter what choice he makes...

The results are always the same...

Feeling utterly powerless, Yuji Xianshi turned and scanned the people around him, hoping to see a glimmer of hope on their faces.

However, the greater the expectation, the greater the hope.

Even he, a "wise man," felt a deep sense of powerlessness, let alone those high-ranking members of the Hundred Refinements Sect whose courage and boldness were far inferior to his.

Perhaps they've become too used to a comfortable life.

When the real disaster struck, faced with the despair that enveloped their hearts, the many high-ranking members of the Hundred Refinements Sect present could not muster even a shred of fighting spirit.

This truly disheartened Yu Ji Xian Shi.

Big disappointment!

On the contrary, Tang Yi's courage in speaking out gave Yu Ji Xian Shi some comfort.

This at least proves that the Hundred Refinements Pavilion is not entirely composed of spineless cowards without any ambition.

"Sir, what should we do? Should we agree to their request?"

Zisang, a former student and former head of the pavilion, asked.

At this point, even Zisang, the former pavilion master, gave up thinking and decided to follow the decision of his mentor, Yuji Xianshi.

"Why don't we just give in?"

After a moment, some people began to consider backing out.

He was also a cultivator who had ascended to the other shore of Yin Heaven Realm, and an enforcer of the law to maintain order in the Hundred Refinements Pavilion.

The law enforcement officer carefully chose his words and tentatively said, "At least as long as a person is alive, there is still hope."

Tang Yi had expected others to speak up and rebuke the law enforcement officer.

But the fact is......

"That's right, but hope depends on the person still being alive!"

"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. Moreover, they have stated that their initial intention in intervening was simply to improve the system, address shortcomings, and further achieve peace."

"That makes sense. In my opinion, if both sides can coexist peacefully, the people of the desert will face one less threat from the desert bandits in the future..."

"Yes, it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy!"

Following that law enforcement officer, others followed suit, taking the opportunity to express their feelings.

The words themselves convey a sense of probing.

However, such important decisions are not up to them; only the leader has the final say!

Therefore, after discussing with each other and expressing their opinions, all the senior leaders waited for their returning leader to make the wisest decision.

"You, you guys!"

Tang Yi seemed to be meeting these high-ranking members of the Hundred Refinements Sect for the first time. In front of everyone, she angrily said to them, "To fight first and then surrender is to be a coward!"

"Have you lived up to the expectations of your ancestors who entrusted you with such important tasks, have you lived up to the aspirations of future generations who will look up to you, and have lived up to your own conscience?"

Her heartfelt accusations not only failed to awaken any remaining conscience in these people, but also earned her the cold stares and ridicule of a minority.

"You have no business talking about this!"

"Where is Deng Xianzhi? Look at the disciples you've taught! They have no respect for their elders, what kind of behavior is this? How did such people pass the elders' assessment?"
