Wang Jixuan didn't expect that Murong Zhengyi, this fellow...
Actually refined the medicinal power of that Spirit Pill!
This child will surely achieve great things!
Master Wang's admiration is sincere, yet his hands were not idle, already paving the way for Murong Zhengyi.
In truth, all it took was a word to Master Tai Ye, that later they would need each of the major sects to lend a hand to Murong Zhengyi.
Daoist Tai Ye naturally had no objections to this and immediately went to confer with the sect leaders.
The preparation for war was generally smooth; they were organizing combat power in batches according to the sequence of major sects, families, small sects, and loose cultivators.
The plan devised by Mu Dan was not complicated to execute.
Firstly, Daoist Tai Ye announced in conjunction with the other sects two days ago that they would unite the power of the Righteous Path to fiercely battle the formidable Outer Heaven Demon.
This was actually a test.
The cultivators who dared to come here and had the courage to battle the Outer Heaven Demon were, in some senses, more worthy of rescue.
Then, when the sect leaders of each major sect gathered once more, they would discuss the matter of turning to Tianluo.
Daoist Tai Ye would propose that they should all turn to Tianluo together.
The sect leaders briefed in advance would put on a 'hesitant' performance and then reach a reluctant agreement.
– This was a performance for the Tianluo Loose Immortals.
Once the Tianluo Loose Immortals agreed to accept the experts of this realm, Daoist Tai Ye would take the opportunity to propose that Tianluo also rescue the disciples of each sect as well as those aspirants of this realm.
If Tianluo could agree, they would fully cooperate with Tianluo;
If Tianluo wished not to rescue cultivators with lower cultivation, Wang Jixuan would directly appear, engaging in direct negotiation with the Tianluo Loose Immortals, striving to reach an agreement without resorting to violence.
Wang Jixuan was solely in it to save people;
Whereas Tianluo aimed to recruit soldiers at the chance;
Their motivations fundamentally differed, not to be spoken of in the same breath.
At this moment, this plan reached its second phase.
In the main hall of Wangxian Valley, Tai Ye conveyed through transmission to several familiar sect leaders the matter of supporting Murong Zhengyi later, and then returned to today's main topic.
Wang Jixuan mingled among a group of Crossing Tribulation and Mahayana experts, intent on hiding his qi and form, so others naturally did not notice his presence.
Then heard the sect leaders each speaking up:
"What good is another three-day rest? Aren't we still trapped by the same old problem."
"We wish for Tianluo to rescue all our disciples, but the seniors of Tianluo only wish to save the Nascent Soul cultivators and above from this realm."
"We've cultivated our whole lives; are we to become those who live ignobly, abandoning our sects? Such a thing is inconceivable!"
The sect leaders slowly nodded, all in agreement.
Wang Jixuan observed with some amusement.
Not because of anything else… These sect leaders sure had good acting skills.
They had long known there was support, yet could perform so vividly.
Daoist Tai Ye timely stood up, took out the Jade Talisman for contacting the Tianluo Loose Immortals, and solemnly said:
"Today's matter must be settled!
"With the battle imminent, there can be no delay!
"There are tens of thousands of fellow cultivators outside Wangxian Valley, and that's nearly all the fighting strength of this realm, I propose we request Tianluo Loose Immortals come here for a discussion!"
"Agreed!"
"Okay!"
"Yes!"
Tai Ye cupped his hands around him, then the old Daoist lightly crushed the Jade Talisman, and the Jade Talisman turned into a beam of rosy light and disappeared.
"Everyone, please wait a moment."
Tai Ye sat back at the main seat, the Daoists silently awaited, and you could almost hear a pin drop in the main hall, while the noise outside was completely blocked by the Barrier.
They waited for nearly half an hour.
Six beams of rosy light flew back from outside the sky, landing in front of the hall in perfect synchrony, still the same three men and three women, the Six Loose Immortals.
– Tianluo's reinforcements were still on the way.
The six entered again.
Tai Ye ordered seats to be brought for the six Loose Immortals; the Righteous Path bigwigs who were originally seated in the hall obediently stood up to express ample respect to these six Loose Immortals.
"How went your deliberations?"
"Seniors!"
Tai Ye gave a long sigh, lamenting:
"We have each gone back to our sects to deliberate; each has reached their own conclusions.
"Dear Seniors!
"We suffer this unwarranted disaster, our hearts are anguished and pained beyond words, and now if we are to abandon our sect disciples and flee for our own lives, it is truly more unbearable than if we were killed!"
The six Loose Immortals were not surprised by this.
After all, what Tai Ye said was only human nature.
"Amitabha Buddha," an old monk bowed his head and asked, "Tianluo traverses realms, maintaining order across Heaven and Earth, why can't they save more innocent lives?"
The six Loose Immortals exchanged glances.
A woman sighed, "It's not that we don't rescue, but have no power to save, Tianluo and the Dark Sect operate entirely differently, you can understand them as two extremes, they act recklessly, we must adhere to the rules."
The remaining Loose Immortals also revealed troubled expressions, each speaking:
"We certainly want to rescue if we can; we've all cultivated along this path together, and our origins aren't much different from yours."
"But Tianluo's rule is that each member who joins Tianluo can bring at most five direct blood relatives, and they must be blood relatives, disciples are not included."
"To break the rules, only the Immortal Realm's Tianluo Headquarters can issue orders, but how would the esteemed ones at Tianluo Headquarters concern themselves with the fate of a distant Xu Realm?"
"Be careful with your words! How can such things be said!"
Thus, the six Loose Immortals wore faces full of worry, and the entire great hall dimmed with sombre clouds.
Daoist Tai Ye trembled as he asked, "Is there no other way?"
"It's not that we don't wish to help..."
"Seniors!"
Daoist Tai Ye shouted, this famed master of the Righteous Path, revered by generations, astonishingly knelt tremblingly before the fellow Daoists.
