Chapter 216 The battle between the old and the new
"Burial?"
Long Li frowned.
"How powerful is Tianxia Peak? How can our Longyuan Sect compete? Yes, once our Longyuan Sect and Tianxia Peak were indeed tied as the two strongest overlord sects in the group sects, but that was in the past, and now our Longyuan Sect
It has been in decline for a long time. Only seven of the thirteen elders of the sect are left. Elder Prajna is still seriously injured and his mind has declined! Now our Longyuan Sect is at the end of its rope. If we are suppressed by any sect again, we will have no way to survive!
At this time, you are still doing these useless things? Sooner or later, the sect will be completely destroyed in your hands!!"
The man shouted excitedly.
"Destruction?" Long Li's always calm and collected face finally changed.
He stared at the nearly a hundred people from the new sect in front of him and shouted loudly: "Are you still from the Longyuan sect?"
These words were like thunder. It is hard to imagine that they came from the mouth of an old man.
The crowd was shocked.
"What is the founding purpose of the Longyuan Sect? What is the basis for the sect's ancestors to establish the sect? We must fight against the strong and support the weak! With a heart to defend the Tao, if we lose our sect's principles, is it still the Longyuan Sect? Are you the first to join the Longyuan Sect?
What is a sect? Do you still remember what the sect leader said to you back then? If you blindly pursue fame and wealth, blindly seek survival, blindly pursue vanity, and go against your original intention, then are you still considered a member of the Longyuan sect? If you don’t want to stay in the Longyuan sect
, you can leave, I will never stop you!!"
Long Li shouted angrily, his face full of majesty.
Everyone froze.
The person who questioned Long Li was speechless for a long time.
"Elder Long, what Elder Iron Fist said was entirely based on the Longyuan Sect's considerations. Your thinking is too old-fashioned and cannot adapt to the current situation. You said that we went against the original intention and forgot the Longyuan Sect's morality. But have you ever thought about it?
If even the Longyuan Sect is gone, how can we talk about morality? How can we talk about our original intention?"
At this time, the crowd split, and an old man riding a white horse and wearing a splendid white robe came forward and looked at Long Li indifferently. The old man was well dressed, wearing many exquisite magic weapons, and looked wealthy.
This is Mu Yan, the third elder of Longyuan Sect.
You can tell your superiority just by looking at the way people dress up. People in the old school all wear brown and gray old clothes, which are very ordinary clothes. On the other hand, people in the new school wear gold and silver and are rich and wealthy.
"Elder Mu, do you think so?" Long Li's eyes were filled with disappointment.
"Yingyang informed me with a spirit pigeon before you came back. The two people you took in are the people wanted by Tianxia Peak. You must hand them over, otherwise Tianxia Peak will kill you. Not to mention your old sect, we are afraid
The new sect will also be implicated, so I advise you to hand over those two people and return them to Tianxia Peak!" Mu Yan said calmly.
"If you are here for this matter, then I'm sorry, Elder Mu, I'm afraid your trip was in vain. Zong Xiaohei has been accepted by me into the Longyuan Sect. Everything should be done in accordance with the sect's rules. The Longyuan Sect has its own principles.
Under no circumstances should any disciples be handed over. I will say this today when you are here, and I will still say this when Lang Tianya from Tianxia Peak is here." Long Li had no expression on his face.
"Elder Long, have you really considered the consequences?"
"Elder Mu, do you understand clearly that if I really hand over these two people, the Longyuan Sect will really be dead!!" Long Li's voice was hoarse.
Mu Yan frowned, his face full of displeasure.
His eyes flickered, and he suddenly scanned the people present. Finally, his eyes fell on Bai Ye.
"Is this person one of those two people?"
"Yes, Elder Mu, this person is Bai Ye!" Zhao Yingyang said immediately.
"Yingyang, come in!" Long Li shouted.
"Master, did I do something wrong?" Zhao Yingyang pretended to be confused.
"Yingyang, I asked you to go in, didn't you hear me?" Long Li shouted sharply.
Zhao Yingyang was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and turned back to the sect.
"Is this your way to be a teacher?" Mu Yan snorted coldly: "Elder Long, since Zong Xiaohei has joined the sect, I won't say anything, but this night, I heard that he has not joined our dragon. The Yuan sect is just an outsider, why are you protecting him? Hand him over!"
"He is a guest of my Longyuan Sect!" Long Li said solemnly.
"Elder Long, I have given you a lot of respect. Don't let the relationship between our new sect and the old sect collapse." Mu Yan has lost patience.
Long Li's expression froze.
"Master!"
Shao Qiankun, who was next to him, immediately became anxious when he heard this. He leaned closer and whispered: "Master, if the new sect and our old sect are separated like this, in the semi-annual sect domain election, no one from our old sect will participate in the battle, and we will not get any benefits. I am afraid that the sect will not be able to benefit from it. I can’t keep it up!”
Long Li fell silent.
Bai Ye, who was next to him, frowned and asked Miao Yifang, "Senior Sister Miao, what is this sect domain final election?"
"It is a semi-annual grand gathering in the northern area of the Qun Sect Domain. It is held by more than 70% of the sects in the northern sect area. It is intended for discussion and exchange. Since the sect experienced the catastrophe a hundred years ago, it has been in decline. The cost of training is maintained by the rich resources obtained from this sect's domain selection. However, the talents of my old school are withering. The only ones that can be used are Zhao Yingyang and Shao Qiankun. In previous years, most of them relied on people from the new school to replace my old school. Go and participate. If the new sect really breaks off the relationship with my old sect, I am afraid that our final gains will no longer exist, and the sect members can only rely on traveling to maintain their cultivation expenses." Miao Yifang said in a low voice.
When Bai Ye heard it, he understood immediately.
He glanced at Long Li, but saw that Long Li was silent.
Compared to Bai Ye, perhaps the interests of a sect are more important? It is impossible for him to abandon the people in the sect.
People stared at Mr. Long, waiting for his answer.
Bai Ye sighed slightly and was about to speak, but at this moment, Long Li was the first to speak.
"If you want to sever ties with my old sect, I won't object. After all, in my eyes, the new sect cannot be called the Longyuan sect at all!"
After saying this, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Mu Yan's eyes widened even more and he looked at Long Li in disbelief.
Long Li suddenly turned around and said to the many disciples behind him: "The Longyuan Sect is indeed not as good as before, and the cost of training cannot be compared with other sects, but I firmly believe that the Longyuan Sect will not decline just like this, but...
I, Long Li, cannot be sorry to everyone. Now, Elder Mu Yan of the new sect is here. If you are determined to follow the soul path, you can join the new sect. I, Long Li, swear here that I will never bear any grudge against you because of this incident.
I won’t let Elder Mu Yan slack on you at all!”
"Elder!"
"Master!"
All the disciples cried out and knelt down one after another, even Miao Yifang knelt down.
"You guys get up quickly." Long Li hurried over and helped people up.
"The old sect is indeed not suitable for you to practice. If you want to obtain a higher soul path, the new sect is definitely more suitable than the old sect. Would you like to come to my new sect? Revitalize the Longyuan sect with me!" Mu Yan was not polite and spoke directly.
"Elder Mu, if you don't have your true heart, how can you be Long Yuan? We will not leave!"
"Yes! We are not leaving here!!"
"People from the new sect are greedy for vanity and only seek profit! That is not the Longyuan sect at all. How can we revive it?"
Those disciples shouted indignantly.
However, not all disciples were like them. Some people in the crowd became loose. They walked out of the crowd, bowed to Long Li, and then walked towards Mu Yan. Even though some people scolded him, Long Li did not stop him and just nodded.
Give some advice.
With just a few words, the old school seemed to be divided up by the new school.
"The old school is conservative and stubborn, Long Li. Now the total number of the old school is less than a hundred, and there are no new people to join. I want to see how long you can last!" Mu Yan snorted coldly.
"Don't worry about it, Elder Mu!" Long Li shook his head and sighed: "I just ask you to treat these disciples well."
"snort!"
Mu Yan pulled the reins and prepared to leave.
But just then, a voice sounded.
"Elder Long!"
It was Bai Ye's voice, which seemed extremely abrupt at this moment.
Mr. Long turned around and looked at him: "What's the matter, little friend?"
But he saw Bai Ye holding his fists upright, bowing respectfully, and said: "Bai Ye wants to join the Long Yuan Sect, and I beg Elder Long to take him in!"
As soon as he said these words, Long Li was stunned, but soon he shook his head: "Little friend, you have also seen the current situation of the Longyuan Sect. You are extremely talented, and staying in the Longyuan Sect will only delay your progress.
future."
"The sect is not about being big or strong, but about the people. To join the sect is to become a disciple. The teacher's character is what Bai Ye values the most." Bai Ye said with a smile.
"To be able to say these words, you have a high level of understanding." Long Li nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face. Bai Ye indeed made him extremely satisfied.
"He's just a second-level waste from the Soul Realm. My new sect won't accept such a person!"
At this time, there was a trace of disdain from the new faction.
"The old school recruits people regardless of their strength, but only based on their character. This is not comparable to some schools that pursue fame and fortune!" Bai Ye said calmly.
How could Mu Yan and others not understand this insinuation?
"You bastard, what are you talking about?"
"Don't think that with Elder Long protecting you, you can speak arrogantly! Believe it or not, I will destroy you immediately!"
"How dare a waste of the second level of the Soul Realm be so arrogant? Elder Long, if this person joins the old sect, then I think the old sect is really going to be doomed!"
People of the new sect were sarcastic and sarcastic, and some even cursed.
Bai Ye turned his eyes and stared at that person.
"Second level of the Soul Realm? Are you weak? In my opinion, you, the fourth level of the Soul Realm, are the real waste."
"What did you say?"
The man's eyes were cold.
"You don't understand what I said?"
"Say it again if you dare!"
"I have no interest in saying the same thing a second time!"
"good!!"
The man was so angry that he got off his horse and rushed over. He stood in front of Bai Ye. He was extremely tall, almost two meters tall. Looking down at Bai Ye, he felt like he was condescending.
"You say I'm a waste! Well, I'll duel with you. I want to see who is the loser, me, the fourth-level person, or you, the second-level person!"
"Senior Brother Li, aren't you bullying someone? He is only at the second level of the Soul Realm! How can you, a fourth level person, challenge him to a duel?"
Miao Yifang raised her eyebrows and shouted immediately.
"Senior Sister Miao, you have also heard the words of this madman! He was the one who insulted Senior Brother Li first. Why should he blame Senior Brother Li?" shouted a member of the New Sect.
"He insulted Senior Brother Li first? How could I hear you insulting him first and then he retorted?" Miao Yifang was unhappy: "If you want to fight, fight me!"
"Senior Sister Miao, you are an elite disciple, we are no match for you!"
The senior brother surnamed Li stared at Bai Ye and hummed: "Boy, if you have the ability, accept my challenge and don't hide behind women! If you don't dare, get behind Miao Yifang and don't come out.
Disgraceful!! Trash!”
"Hahahaha" everyone roared with laughter.
Miao Yifang's face turned red and white.
"Elder Mu, please take the people away quickly." Long Li said calmly.
"Are you in a hurry? It's rare to come to the old sect. I want to stay a little longer. Don't Elder Long welcome me to wait? After all, we are also from the same sect." Mu Yan smiled coldly.
Long Li narrowed his eyes.
"Okay! I promise you!"
At this moment, Bai Ye spoke.
Senior Brother Li's smile froze.
"It's just that it doesn't matter if you insult me, but you also insulted Senior Sister Miao Yifang and my old school. So, if you lose later, I want you to kneel down and apologize to Senior Sister Miao in person!" Bai Ye said in a deep voice.
