CHAPTER 1698: CHAPTER 384_3

"They may not necessarily attack our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect; they might attack the Weeping Blood Demon Sect instead. Compared to our sect, their hatred for the Weeping Blood Demon Sect is even greater!"

"No matter which great teaching they attack, they will attack our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect inevitably; it’s just a matter of time."

"We can’t just sit and wait for death. Since the Hundred Peaks Sect can seek help from other Grand Righteous Sects, why can’t we seek aid from other Great Demonic Sects?"

"Seek help from other great teachings? But we are facing the Dragon Chant Sect and the Yin Yang Sect; what great teaching would help us?"

"It’s no use to just find one great teaching; we need at least three great teachings to help us defend!"

"If other great teachings and those demonic sects come, they might drive away the Yin Yang Sect and Dragon Chant Sect first, but they would probably turn on us next."

"Then what should we do? Are we all going to sit and wait for death?"

"Perhaps, we should open our treasury."

Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up: "We can’t hold out. Since it’s like this, why don’t we preserve the last spark of our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect.

We will open all our treasuries, even those we do not have the right to open, and distribute all the resources to the disciples who have been with the sect for less than a thousand years, and let them leave.

In this way, our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect can leave a spark behind, and maybe ten thousand years later, or even hundreds of thousands of years later, a genius might emerge among them, who can then lead our sect to rise again!"

The man’s words had barely fallen when many around immediately voiced their agreement.

"Elder Zhao speaks reasonably."

"Indeed, I also agree with Elder Zhao’s approach. Since we can’t hold out, why don’t we send the disciples away in advance?"

"Yes, we can’t withstand the great teachings, and in the end, all of our sect’s resources will be quickly benefited by the Dragon Chant Sect, Yin Yang Sect, and Hundred Peaks Sect. In that case, we might as well take all of our resources with us. Even if they break our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect, they will get nothing!"

"Sect Leader, what do you think?"

Before the Soul Breaking Sect Leader could speak, a heavy thud sounded from the side.

An old man with hair and beard as white as snow slammed the table heavily, shouting furiously: "Nonsense, we haven’t even fought yet, and you all want to send everyone away! How do you know for sure that we cannot hold out?"

Immediately, those who had previously spoken up began to retort: "How can we possibly hold out, with so many experts, how do we defend?"

"Yes, Elder Zhou Zhang, do you think we want to see our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect perish? But we can’t withstand it."

"Elder Zhou, rather than leaving the resources to these three great teachings, why not divide all the resources and let our disciples take them away?"

"Elder Zhou, do you not wish for our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect to preserve its flame?"

Before Elder Zhou could speak, another old man beside him had already opened his mouth.

"Preserve the flame? Tell me, how to preserve the flame? Let those who have been part of our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect for less than a thousand years leave?

They’ve been with our sect for less than a thousand years; how much sense of belonging can they possibly have?

After they leave, they won’t be able to gather together. If they do, they will inevitably be targeted by other great teachings and eliminated.

They can only hide their names and spread out. They can’t even use our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect’s spells and cultivation techniques, for if they do, their identities are exposed.

Others will immediately come to kill them and rob them of resources.

Under such circumstances, who do you think can grow, who can rebuild our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect?

Moreover, most of them are only at the Golden Core Stage, with very few at the early Longevity Period; what inheritance have they received?

After they leave, without enough of our sect’s inheritance, how can they be considered people of our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect?"

"Right, letting them take the resources away is no different from giving them to others!"

"What do you mean? No matter what, they are still our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect’s people. How do you know for sure that none among them will rejuvenate our sect, that none of their descendants will emerge as such figures!

"Exactly, no matter what, they are our people. Leaving resources for our descendants is better than leaving them for those three great teachings!"

"Elder Li, everyone knows your branch has the most disciples, and your family has the most descendants. Don’t think others are fools; clearly, you’re using the pretense of acting for our sect’s benefit to hoard more resources for your descendants."

"Conservative, you people are too conservative."

"Conservative? I think you’re just afraid of death!"

The Soul Breaking Sect Leader listened to the endless bickering of the two factions around, painfully rubbed his temples, knowing that this situation would arise.

The sect is so large; how could everyone possibly be of one mind?

Moreover, he is only an acting sect leader, not the true leader, and he can’t directly command everyone.

"Enough!"

The Soul Breaking Sect Leader finally shouted helplessly, stopping everyone, his gaze sweeping across them with a look of helplessness: "I know, some of you have the sect’s best interests at heart, wanting everyone to stay and defend our Soul Breaking Demonic Sect. I also understand that another part is thinking for the sect."
