After hearing this question, the Ninth Elder felt that his mind suddenly came to an idea, because he thought of an idea that sounded good.
So, he suggested: "Then, shouldn't we spread some rumors and say that the people in the other world are monsters! Those monsters eat people's hearts, lungs, flesh and blood... In this way, no one will surrender.
"
The leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect frowned slightly when he heard this suggestion. He squinted his eyes and looked at the ninth elder who was speaking, and for a moment he even showed a trace of murderous intent.
Isn’t this calling a thief a bald man in front of a monk? Because he doesn’t know whether the troops of the Airanhill Empire are cannibals or not, but he knows about the cannibalism of the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect! If such rumors spread
When it reaches the ears of the Supreme Elder, what will the old monster think?
Could it be that the news about the Supreme Elder eating human flesh and blood and absorbing human souls was leaked? No way... He is the only one who knows about this matter, how could it be leaked out?
The leader of Shenzong, who had eliminated the suspicion, was sure that what the Ninth Elder said was just a coincidence, so he put away his murderous intention and coldly refused: "Spreading rumors will shake the morale of the army! If anyone dares to do this, I will
Kill him to set the record straight!"
As the leader of Shenzong, he is naturally tight-lipped, and he trusts himself because he did not leak the secret, and he knew this well.
But the Supreme Elder may not necessarily think so! What if the Supreme Elder suspects that he deliberately leaked secrets and wants to change the sect leader to a more strict-mouthed one? Didn’t he die unjustly?
Therefore, the first thought of the leader of Shenzong is that this kind of rumor must absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not be spread! Not even a little bit of news can be leaked!
Hearing what the sect leader said, the Ninth Elder knew that his opinion had angered his immediate boss for some reason, so he could only keep his mouth shut.
Now that the Great Elder has lost too much power, recharging his energy is the proper thing to do. Isn't it the same as committing suicide if he offends the sect master?
We will wait until the Great Elder comes out of seclusion. This is the only countermeasure that the Fifth Elder and the Ninth Elder discussed.
Now, the talents of the great elder's line are withering, so it is the last word to keep your tail between your legs and be a talented person. As for what kind of benefits, let's wait until the great elder comes out and stabilizes the situation before making plans.
This is also the fundamental reason why Qian Tong bribed the fifth elder, and the fifth elder readily accepted it and actually came forward to protect him.
Precisely because Qian Tong is a member of the Great Elder's lineage, "talents" like Qian Tong cannot be disposed of at this time. Not only cannot they be disposed of, they must be reused and protected.
After all, even if it is a moth with a lot of problems, it is still a moth occupying a position! Having such a rotten man who can talk at the critical moment is better than sitting in the same position as the second elder's confidant, isn't it...
"Let's not talk about other things for now, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder! You two are people who have returned from the new Paradise of Cave Heaven. You two should tell us whether we should fight this battle and how we should fight it?"
"The fight will definitely not go on." The fifth elder replied bitterly: "The sect master... is not that his subordinates are incompetent, but that the opponent is too strong. I think that if the sect continues to fight with the opponent, it will lose a lot of money.
There will only be more.”
"I agree with the fifth elder on this matter." The fourth elder spoke at this time and continued: "I have seen the enemy's power with my own eyes. The fifth elder did not exaggerate. In fact, I think,
Such an opponent cannot be overestimated."
Two elders died in succession, and a million-strong army was trapped in another world - if the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect is still blindly arrogant at this time, then they are really a bunch of idiots.
At least the fourth elder was not stupid, so he stood on the side of the fifth elder. He did not create trouble or raise any questions. He just told the truth and expressed his opinions.
It is rare that the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder have unified opinions. Therefore, the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect does not have to worry about the possibility of internal strife on this matter.
However, what depresses the leader of the Shenzong is that it seems that this time the enemy is really strong, so strong that even the Shenzong cannot defeat it.
So he thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this...find a suitable opportunity to close Cambridge and cut off the connection with Xindong Tianfu Di...let's end this meaningless war."
Just a few months ago, many people in this hall, including the deceased third elder and the seventh elder, believed in the power of the sect.
They even unilaterally clamored to fight a war of attrition and an all-out war with the enemy in another world until destruction comes.
Now, at this moment, when they know that it may be their sect or themselves that will be destroyed, they decisively want to end this war.
They didn't know whether their faces hurt or not when they slapped themselves. Anyway, these elders in the hall were completely unaware of the sudden burning pain on their faces.
"As you command!" the fifth elder agreed, cupping his fists.
"As for when to close Cambridge... do you have any plans?" Taking into account the safety of the sect, the head of Shenzong continued to ask the fifth elder.
This question is really not easy to answer for the Fifth Elder. In fact, out of consideration for the survival of his faction, it is most appropriate to wait until all the millions of troops from another world break out before closing Cambridge.
However, out of responsibility for the safety of the sect, closing Cambridge in the next second is actually in the best interest of the sect. This needs to be weighed and considered by the five elders.
"Report it to the sect master!" The fifth elder felt that his heart was trembling when he made this decision, and there was a strong sourness in his voice.
He paused for a moment before continuing: "My subordinates feel that... closing Cambridge immediately to ensure the safety of the sect is the best choice."
"Good! It's really gratifying that you can consider the sect and stand on the basis of righteousness." The head of Shenzong praised and nodded with satisfaction: "Then do as you said! Don't worry, your loss
, there will definitely be compensation in the future!”
The fifth elder knew that this was the sect leader's attitude - he could not put the sect's safety aside just because of the millions of swordsmen.
As for compensation, what kind of compensation and how much compensation, he doesn't need to ask. Because he knows that these things will definitely be honored, because the sect master is the one who least wants to see the situation where the second elder's lineage loses checks and balances!
So he bravely cut off his wrist and placed his hope in the compensation promised by the sect master. He gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and agreed: "Yes! Sect master!"
