C1365 Major Earthquake
C1365 Major Earthquake
With these words, it was as if the entire wasteland region experienced a huge earthquake.
Even though his Heaven And Earth Sect had been destroyed before, it was still, after all, the former was an existence ranked at the bottom of the Three Palaces And Six Sects. However, right now, his Everlasting Saint Palace was actually threatening to be destroyed, and this was the strongest existence in all of his Three Palaces And Six Sects.
"You want us to hand over Lu Chen?"
"This is simply wishful thinking."
… ….
In the Great Assembly Hall, even the Orthodox Unity Hall Elders who were displeased with Lu Chen previously, were angered when they heard the news. The entire Extreme Tao Academic Palace, today, no one did not know that Lu Chen's talent was worthy of being called the strongest existence in the young generation.
As long as he successfully matured, he would be able to become a powerhouse in a certain region. He would even be able to raise the entire academy to a whole new level. A Heaven's Pride character like this would not be able to hand over his life even if it was any other power.
Moreover, Extreme Tao Academic Palace and Everlasting Saint Palace were two sides of the same coin, and the two sides' top ranker had a huge battle at the Black Rock Mountain Range.
"Everlasting Saint Palace are approaching aggressively this time, and with the support of the sect and Sword Sect, if a true life-and-death battle really erupts, our academy might not even be able to withstand it."
"If we were to only face Everlasting Saint Palace alone, we might still have the strength to resist them, but other than the Dao Gate and Sword Sect, we also have the artifact gate and the pill gate's support. Moreover, Wishful Divine Palace and Knife Sect have not expressed their stance yet, so the current situation is not optimistic!"
… ….
"Elders, what do you mean by that?"
"Do we have to hand over Lu Chen?"
Someone spoke in a muffled voice.
"How about we agree to hand over Lu Chen to stall for time first before thinking of a good way to deal with him?"
Several elders from the Orthodox Unity Hall spoke, as if they wanted to hand over Lu Chen to resolve this crisis.
After all, this was not a small fight just now. If a great battle of life and death really occurred, let alone ordinary warriors, even the indestructible would end up coming together. At that time, even if one's Extreme Tao Academic Palace won, they would pay a very miserable price, and they might even lose their current status.
"Ridiculous, this is ridiculous."
A middle-aged man sneered: "Throughout the countless years of my Extreme Tao Academic Palace, when have I ever compromised? Furthermore, both sides are enemies anyway! "
"It's not just one or two days since Everlasting Saint Palace wants to fight against the Academy, but there are actually people who are delusional enough to think of handing over Lu Chen in exchange for the time needed to avoid a big battle."
"If Lu Chen knew that the two of you had such plans, what would he think? Even though his Kungwu Hall is weak, don't forget that he is an expert strong enough to kill the Major Power Of Life And Death Stage, and his strength is not any weaker than yours. "
"Elder Wang, what do you mean by this?"
"So what if his talent and strength are outstanding? In the end, you are still just a disciple of our Extreme Tao Academic Palace. In front of this great difference in strength, we should make a great contribution in order to protect the academy. "
An old man's face revealed a trace of displeasure as he spoke as if it was as if it was as a matter of fact.
"Contribution?"
"Hand over Lu Chen? To send him to his death is to make a contribution?"
Hearing this, Wang Yufan, who came from the Taiyi Hall, sneered in anger and said: "I think the older you are, the more afraid you'll be of death."
"Extreme Tao Academic Palace and Everlasting Saint Palace have never stopped until one side is dead. If we compromise now, then let Wishful Divine Palace and Knife Sect make a guess?"
"If Wishful Divine Palace and we don't have any more confidence in them, then Everlasting Saint Palace can take this opportunity to attack the three forces one by one. Wouldn't we still have to face a huge crisis in the end?"
Previously, Wang Yufan was the one who caught Lu Chen's attention and brought him back to the Extreme Tao Academic Palace, so he naturally did not agree with these speculators.
Ever since the Extreme Tao Academic Palace had been allied with the Wishful Divine Palace, there had been many people within the academy who were still ambiguous in their attitude towards Everlasting Saint Palace. The old man who had suggested to hand Lu Chen over, Helian Xiong, was one of those people.
"Hmph, it's fine if you don't mention Wishful Divine Palace. If Everlasting Saint Palace were to really fight to the death with our academy, Elder Wang, are you sure Wishful Divine Palace and Knife Sect would help out?"
"Perhaps they really want to see our Extreme Tao Academic Palace fight to the point where both sides will get hurt, and at that time, they will take the opportunity to enjoy the show."
"Although our academy is quite well-established, we have to deal with the combined attacks of several powers led by Everlasting Saint Palace. Even if we have Wishful Divine Palace and the support of Knife Sect, it would still be very difficult to win against them.
As Helian Xiong finished his sentence, all the elders in the meeting hall fell silent. From a rational and objective point of view, the former's words were not without reason.
In the previous battle of Black Rock Mountain Range, although there were some Indestructible Rankers in Wishful Divine Palace and Rankers, they had still taken the initiative to attack when they were in the lead. Although the three sides had allied themselves, their Wishful Divine Palace and Knife Sect had their own ulterior motives.
"But this is still better than having Everlasting Saint Palace compromise." Wang Yufan clenched his fist tightly, and said with a stern voice: "My Extreme Tao Academic Palace has always recognized itself as the number one in the Three Palaces And Six Sects. If I were to hand over my most outstanding disciple in front of all the practitioners in the entire wasteland region, not only would I lose thousands of years of prestige, I would also lose the hearts of other disciples."
"Therefore, this absolutely cannot be taken out."
"Elder Wang is right."
"No matter what, victory and defeat must always be decided between us. This battle is unavoidable."
… ….
Inside the hall, many of the higher ups supported Wang Yufan's viewpoint. Although Lu Chen was a Kungwu Hall disciple, given a little more time, he would definitely become a true powerhouse with outstanding talent. He would be able to lead the entire Extreme Tao Academic Palace into greater glory.
"This old man had never said he wanted to compromise with Everlasting Saint Palace."
"My meaning is to agree to hand over Lu Chen for the time being and try to delay the preparation of the battle. This way, we can better respond to the crisis."
Helian Xiong glanced at Wang Yufan and said indifferently.
"Hur hur."
Hearing that, Wang Yufan sneered: "If it really is just stalling for time, do we still need to agree to it? Wouldn't it be better to send someone to take a look around? "
"Helian Xiong, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking!" Wang Yufan stared at Helian Xiong angrily, and said in a deep voice, "Back then, you had already advocated an alliance between the Wishful Divine Palace and the Profound Sky Continent, and now that you have set your sights on Lu Chen, do you really think the two Hall Masters don't know about it?"
"Wang Yufan, don't speak nonsense."
"I'm doing it all for the sake of the Academy."
Helian Xiong glared at him and was so angry that his beard trembled.
"Thinking for the Academy? I think you just want to marry the daughter of Everlasting Saint Palace, right? "
Before the great battle over a hundred years ago, the relationship between the Three Palaces And Six Sects and each other was very harmonious, and often, there were cases where disciples would get married in the future, and Helian Xiong's daughter was one of the wives of one of the vice Palace Lord.
