According to past practice, for any high-risk task, the twelve major forces will not fail to send someone.
But they only sent out a small number of people, and the majority went to small and medium-sized forces.
To say that they are timid is not to say that they are not brave. When it comes to the main battlefield, the main force in the battle is still the Twelve!
The twelve major forces believe that their own side is the main force, and good steel must be used on the blade.
It must be admitted that these large forces have rich experience in team battles and their tacit understanding of cooperation is far better than that of small and medium-sized forces.
Moreover, they have strong on-site control capabilities for large-scale battles.
At the same time, they believe that the credibility of small and medium-sized forces on large battlefields is worrying.
If something goes wrong, it may lead to a devastating defeat.
This kind of thing has happened once or twice before. Once the small and medium-sized forces find that something cannot be done, they are likely to run away.
But when it comes to big forces, they have to bear it even if they can't bear it. Those around them are either comrades-in-arms or partners.
It is better to die on the spot than to run away, otherwise even if you can run away, you will face a situation where "life is worse than death" in the future.
However, this is the final conclusion of the big forces, and the small and medium forces do not think so.
The subordinates and disciples of the big forces have also betrayed the small and medium-sized forces in the battle. Really, the elder brother should not laugh at the second brother.
However, these are all digressions. Anyway, the current rules are like this, and the 12th National Congress is the one who talks.
Small and medium-sized forces want to produce five true immortals, which is a lot, but no one stands up to refute.
Many eyes glanced at the two lonely buildings intentionally or unintentionally.
Now Jing Yuexin has arrived at Qu Jianlei's house, and the two of them are drinking tea in the small attic on the third floor.
From the height of the attic, one can see the situation in the Huimeng Valley, but if outsiders want to see them, they can only see a faint white mist.
You can vaguely see two figures in the white mist, but they are just outlines at best.
Many people were counting on the two true immortals from Hongye Ridge to come forward and question them, but these two remained motionless.
Although Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin were rebellious, they also knew that if the Twelve Families could make this matter public, they had reached a consensus.
Hongye Ridge has quasi-allies in the Twelve Families, and there are more than one. However, even real allies have their own interests and demands.
They had no intention of blaming the Zhu family or Cuipingshan. It was obvious that even if these two families strongly opposed it, they would not be able to reverse the situation.
And if these two people jump out at this moment, they will become enemies of the entire Twelve Families.
Not to mention that they may not be able to defeat the twelve families joining forces, even if they can fight evenly, the entire Dongsheng will be beaten to pieces.
Once such a battle occurs, how can Dongsheng still have the ability to resist foreign invasion?
Not to mention that their plans to integrate into the local area will be completely ruined.
So the two of them were not in a hurry and just drank tea slowly.
The Huimeng Valley was silent for a while, and then True Immortal Qi Ya spoke coldly, "The Rogue Cultivator Alliance is only responsible for the quota of two True Immortals..."
The six true immortals of the loose cultivators also formed an alliance, but it was just a show-off, looser than the cultivator alliance.
The only function is that when encountering similar things, the six major forces can advance and retreat together.
So what if there are twelve families? Our Sanxiu Alliance is not inferior to any of your families!
"What Fairy Ya said is inappropriate," Ke Liang said, "There are only five true immortals left among casual cultivators, so why should we bear the quota of two true immortals?"
True Immortal Qi Ya said calmly, "One of them is Xiaoyao, and we will draw lots for the remaining one!"
"As for whether we can find Xiaoyao, it depends on the ability of the alliance. Anyway, there are only two members of the Sanxiu Alliance."
There are four true immortals from the twelve families, which is one out of three, and two true immortals out of the six major families, which are also one out of three, which is basically satisfactory.
"I support Fairy Ya's proposal," Immortal Thousand Hands said first.
He is not trying to hide Hongye Ridge, but Xiaoyao is indeed missing. As for whether the alliance can find the person, it is none of his business!
The other three true immortals heard this and expressed their support enthusiastically. It is better to draw one out of five than two out of six, let alone two out of five.
Then the rotating deacon of the Cultivator Alliance and the True Immortal Yuan Yi of the Liangyi Sect looked at the two lonely people.
"Fellow Taoists from Hongye Ridge should also express their feelings, right?"
"No indication," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "We were invited by the Qingyang Sect to attend."
He will not take the initiative to provoke, but when others ask questions by name, he will not avoid them.
"Fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong," a clear voice sounded from the station of Qingyang Gate.
The voice came from a row, which was also filled with white mist, but there was no doubt that Kun Xiu who dared to say this must be a Nascent Soul.
"Qingyang Sect invites fellow Taoists to come here to participate in the meeting, not to sit in... I'm done."
This is the measure of Qingyangmen. You should defend where you need to defend, and don’t say a single word that is superfluous.
However, Qu Jianlei was more decisive and answered directly with silence - I don't care what you say, I'm just here to listen.
Yuan Yi Zhenxian's face is a little chubby, but this does not damage his dignity. On the contrary, he has the aura of a superior person.
However, he did not give orders, but said lightly, "You are also a member of Dongsheng, and you are at risk of life and death..."
"I do have a lot of Nascent Souls in Hongye Ridge," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "more than any of your twelve families."
"But we don't even have a deacon position, and we don't have a title, so you expect us to work hard?"
In front of all the cultivators present, he openly tore off his face - please give me a reason to fight!
Although these words are extremely strong, they are not unreasonable. Dongsheng is not a society that emphasizes moral kidnapping.
And just as he expected, after he finished speaking, no one really jumped out to refute.
Everyone can tell that Hongyeling is going all out. Anyone who dares to exert pressure will inevitably face a strong and targeted counterattack.
Everyone in the Twelve Households felt that these words were harsh, and some were almost ready to object.
However, it was almost...no one jumped at it.
Hongye Ridge has clearly offended the twelve families, but who is so stupid that he is the first to jump out and attract the anger?
If this was a small force launching an attack, at least half of the Twelve Households would jump out and even fight to make things right.
But as for Hongye Ridge, forget it.
Regardless of how many true immortals there are, at the very least, the Zeng family and the Qixing Sect came together and came back in disgrace.

Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Zhongzhou's True Immortal Haihe spoke up, "Although there is potential danger, it is just a guess."
"The key is that if the enemy's situation is unknown, there is no sufficient reason for Zhongzhou to want to support us."
"I am not involved in your Dongsheng affairs. I just suggest that... when facing potential crises, everyone should be consistent in communicating with the outside world."
His words seemed to be fair, but behind the scenes, he accused Hongye Ridge of not caring about the overall situation.
But it’s no wonder. Many people believe that Immortal Bowen, who suffered a loss in Hongye Ridge, is a cultivator from Zhongzhou.
True Immortal Haihe obviously thinks so too, and it is normal for him to be a little arrogant towards Qu Jianlei.
Qu Jianlei could also hear what this guy meant, so he said, "We are unanimous in dealing with the outside world, of course there is no problem..."
He didn't say much. As for what others might hear, he could figure it out for himself.
He was so strong against the twelve families, and other forces with Nascent Soul couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Everyone hopes that the newly emerged force of Hongye Ridge can reduce the risks faced by their ancestors.
Even the children of the Ji family are no exception.
However, Hongye Ridge did not follow an ordinary path, and what was even more detestable was that no one among the twelve forces dared to be the first to stand up and suppress them.
If someone dares to take the lead, I believe someone will follow, but unfortunately, there are really none!
Twelve top forces are not showing up, so who is so stupid that they will stand up now?
——You don’t cherish your own position, so do you still expect other small and medium-sized forces to pull chestnuts out of the fire for you?
Some small forces are secretly wondering whether... they should make friends with Hongye Ridge in the future?
In the end, it was True Immortal Ke Liang who saw this and spoke out, "Then... let's continue as usual, we still need to be consistent with the outside world."
Even though he initially insisted on being the True Immortal Xiaoyao, he did not go to Hongye Ridge, but had other agendas.
However, it is precisely because of his previous behavior that what he says now seems to be a fair statement.
——Just pretend that Hongye Ridge no longer exists, and we will continue to do whatever we should do.
There must be some people who are unhappy... There is obviously such a powerful force, why can't my ancestor reduce the risk?
However, no one came forward to make irresponsible remarks about Hongye Ridge.
This thing is a bit strange, but it is exactly what Qu Jianlei knew about Dongsheng at the beginning - the cultivators here seem to lack some blood.
In fact, it is still the same reason: when immortal cultivators encounter aliens, they will simply risk everything, but for trivial matters... it is really not worth it.
If you go exploring in the void, you may not necessarily die, but if you break up with Hongye Ridge, the disaster is right in front of you.
Moreover, once the void exploration is successful and useful information is delivered, there will be huge rewards.
While other forces were discussing the candidate for the True Immortal, Jin Dan, led by Feng Yu Lou, spoke up.
“I won’t mention the true immortals of Hongye Ridge for now, but Jindan Master… there must be two more, right?”
According to the ratio of one to five, in addition to the twelve families, twenty-five golden elixirs must be collected.
Small and medium-sized forces have many more golden elixirs. For example, the Ji family's golden elixirs are all in double digits.
But this is also the main high-end combat power of each force, and any loss will be painful.
For example, the Yan family only has four golden elixirs. Even if one is lost, it is a huge loss.
Moreover, the survivability of the golden elixir in the void is not good, not even a little bit worse than that of the Nascent Soul, so the risk will naturally increase greatly.
"Eh?" Jing Yuexin was furious when she heard this, "Did I, Hongye Ridge, give you Fengyulou face? I haven't even settled the accounts with you last time!"
The last account, of course, refers to Fengyulou instigating Zhenxian Ke Liang to go to Hongye Ridge to cause trouble.
"Ahem," the deacon on duty, Yuan Yi Zhenxian, couldn't help it and coughed twice.
The matter of true immortals has been put aside for the time being. It just makes your family have two more golden elixirs. Isn't this difficult?
"Everyone knows that the real combat power of Hongye Ridge is super strong. A few golden elixirs... won't hurt your muscles and bones, right?"
