Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 629: Chapter 279: Six Sects’ Countermeasures

“Alright, the Water Dragon Sect has contributed greatly to this matter. We ought to give them some reward, but let’s discuss this later.”

Lu Corpse came out to mediate.

However, as soon as he spoke, everyone fell into silence.

Solve?

How can this be solved?

In the face of absolute power, any method seems powerless. Shang Dong couldn’t even handle Shangxi, let alone the even more powerful Jiyuan Continent.

So this is simply… unsolvable.

“Does anyone have any suggestions?”

Lu Corpse asked in a deep voice.

The crowd exchanged glances, finally, the Ten Spirits Ancestor spoke: “Shang Dong definitely can’t hold on.”

Just as he finished speaking, Kong Xifeng and the Medicine King glared at him.

“Don’t be hasty, at least let me finish.”

The Ten Spirits Ancestor quickly added: “No matter how much you deny it, that’s the reality. In the end, you’ll have to accept it, once both sides unite, Shang Dong will face certain destruction.”

“So what are you suggesting?”

Lu Corpse eyed him and asked.

“It’s simple. The choice lies before us; it depends on whether you’re willing to make it.”

The Ten Spirits Ancestor clasped his hands together.

Capturing everyone’s attention, he continued: “The first option is naturally to surrender and join the Demon Dao. You needn’t say anything more. In the end, if you can’t win, then surrender.”

“Or fight to the death!”

Lu Corpse said in a low tone.

“Only when evenly matched does ’fight to the death’ hold true. When one side overwhelms the other, that’s just suicide.”

The Ten Spirits Ancestor ruthlessly pointed out.

“But actually, what Brother Lu said is another path. As for the rest, it’s about escaping.”

“Speaking of escaping, there are two paths. One is for us, the Nascent Soul cultivators, to escape alone. No one can stop us if we want to flee, and those from the Demon Dao won’t chase us. At worst, we escape to another continent and continue to be sect founders.”

“The second path is to take the sect with us and relocate entirely.”

After the Ten Spirits Ancestor finished speaking, the others ceased to rush into speaking.

Even the most radical, Kong Xifeng, remained silent.

Only Mei Manor interestedly observed their reactions, or rather, their choices.

After a while.

The Lady of Joy was the first to speak: “The ancestors passed the sect down to us. If we abandon the sect for our own escape… Honestly, I, the Lady of Joy, can’t do that.”

“If that’s the case, where can we relocate the entire sect?”

The Medicine King frowned and said: “Jiyuan Continent is certainly out of the question. Firstly, we can’t cross the Fallen Immortal Gully, and secondly, even if we could, it would be suicide.”

“You know the situation to the west and north as well. We can only consider the Desolate Ancient Continent to the south.”

“But the Desolate Ancient Continent is occupied by the Taiyi Immortal Sect, solidly established, and we simply cannot enter.”

The Lady of Joy firmly shook her head after speaking.

“Even if we propose merging into them as a lower sect, they wouldn’t accept us.”

“Then fight to the death.”

Xusheng finally spoke, and his words were full of murderous intent.

Unfortunately, even though he said that, no one present cared to engage.

After all, as Ten Spirits Ancestor mentioned, only when equally matched does ’fight to the death’ apply. With such a disparity, it’s just suicide.

No one who has reached the Nascent Soul stage is willing to throw their life away.

The Ten Spirits Ancestor said, “I still think we could try. We could send a Nascent Soul cultivator to negotiate with the Taiyi Immortal Sect, how about that?”

“Who will go? What if during the trip the Demon Dao breaches Shang Mountain, and the forces of Jiyuan Continent attack?”

Lu Corpse promptly replied.

“But if we send a Golden Core cultivator, they wouldn’t even bother to meet them.”

After the Ten Spirits Ancestor spoke, he shook his head, “Then I don’t know what to do.”

And so, the crowd fell silent again.

The Lady of Joy, seeing no one speaking, turned to Mei Manor, who had been observing silently.

“Since Manor Master Mei is here, why not share your thoughts? Maybe give a suggestion?”

This prompted the others to look at Mei Manor.

Even though they disliked Shang Court’s people.

But the truth is crude but real.

Right now, they were willing to listen to any reasonable idea.

Not to mention someone like Mei Manor, a formidable force with deep cultivation.

Seeing their gaze, Mei Manor smiled.

“I don’t have any methods to suggest. I just think you all… are a bunch of hypocrites.”

“You!”

The Ten Spirits Ancestor’s expression darkened, “Though Manor Master Mei is strong, we are not without the ability to take you on!”

“If you have something to say, say it! If you’re just here to mock, then you might as well leave!”

Lu Corpse didn’t have anything nice to say either.

Xusheng had Sword Qi swirling around him, ready to strike at any disagreement.

Mei Manor remained unperturbed, releasing the aura of a Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, instantly pressuring the others.

Especially the Ten Spirits Ancestor, who had just spoken harshly, looked a bit panicked.

“You’ve actually… broken through!”

After all, among them, the strongest was only Mid-stage Nascent Soul.

Late-stage Nascent Soul… On Shang Dong’s side, only the absent One Sword Master was at that stage.

“It’s just a small breakthrough, nothing to make a fuss about.”

Mei Manor retracted his aura, paced a few steps with hands behind his back, “Do I now have the right to speak?”

“…”

“No objections? Then I’ll continue.”

Mei Manor smiled slightly, “You’re just thinking about escaping and surviving, but you can’t just abandon the sect, so you’re planning to have them fight to the death and then…”
