My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 96 Focus on the overall situation
If you want to join the Pingtian Sect, why would I arrest you?
At this moment, the Southern Sect Leader was shaken. He wondered if Chen Lang was really an important figure. Would the Tianjian Sect initiate negotiations?

"I'm asking you a question. Is this okay?"

Chen Lang really wanted to get a Ten Thousand Souls Banner. He had seen it in the previous fight. That thing was equivalent to thousands of troops and could also set up formations and cast spells. It was really awesome.

However, he suspected that operating the Ten Thousand Souls Banner required some know-how, which might involve the internal secrets of the Pingtian Sect.

"Shut up, this is not for me to decide."

The Southern Sect Leader responded coldly. In fact, he could make the decision completely, but he doubted Chen Lang's motives. After all, this man was Zhong Haoran's disciple. Didn't he know who Zhong Haoran was?
The eldest disciple was extremely gifted, and he once frightened the nearby sects and the Pingtian Sect. Fortunately, he was later forced to retire from the martial arts world and has never appeared since. The second disciple had a domineering and upright personality, but fortunately he died, otherwise he would have been a scourge.

But it was obvious that these three disciples were not easy to deal with. He had sufficient reason to suspect that they wanted to infiltrate his Pingtian Sect, find out secrets, and bring them down with the help of both inside and outside forces.

As for whether he really wanted to surrender? What a joke. If he really wanted to rebel against the Tianjian Sect, how did Zhong Haoran pass the moral examination of accepting disciples?

"Ugh."

Chen Lang shook his head helplessly, "Now that we've come to this point, can't you choose between letting go, keeping it, or killing it?"

I'm waiting to hand in the quest. Bro, are you also stuck on the plot?
Being bound like this, he couldn't even take out the earth escape talisman. Of course, it would be meaningless even if he took it out. Facing such an unknown area, his earth escape talisman was still too poor.

"Don't have any inappropriate thoughts. Come with me back to Pingtian Sect. I will make a decision after Tianjian Sect gives me a reply." The Southern Sect Leader snorted coldly, "I just hope you don't kneel down and beg for mercy by then."

……

Presbyterian Church.

Zhong Haoran was staring at the Shuguan elder without saying a word.

Elder Shuguan felt a huge pressure. He explained, "This is what happened. The Southern Sect Leader shouldn't have appeared, but because of those incidents, he kidnapped Chen Lang and asked to negotiate with us."

"Why don't you rescue him?" Zhong Haoran said.

Elder Shuguan said, "If I take action, I'm afraid he will get impulsive and harm your disciple instead."

"Besides, the person from Pingtian Sect used his domain before, and his magical power may not have been removed. I am also powerless."

He tried to answer calmly. Zhong Haoran was not an ordinary elder. Even though his expression was calm, he could feel the suppressed anger.

"Elder Zhong, he is also considering the overall situation."

The elder who was giving speeches tried to persuade him, but he was also a little confused by the sudden change.

The kid had just swallowed the Thunder Pearl and completed his transformation. He refused to accept their research and just left, which made him very angry.

I see you're still wandering around? You must have been caught.

Elder Shi and Elder Qing suppressed their emotions. When these elders heard that Chen Lang was captured by the Pingtian Sect, they all sighed. This was truly a gratifying thing.

It's rare for Pingtian to do a good thing.

Take him away quickly to prevent him from coming back and causing harm to the sect.

However, they still kept their faces tense and consoled him: "Yes, Elder Zhong, we are both wrong in this matter, but this condition cannot be agreed to. Chen Lang has made great contributions in saving people, and he will definitely be reborn in a good way in the next life."

As for the conditions? It was impossible to exchange disciples. They could let the outer disciples die, but it was impossible to save them and then use them to pay for their lives.

Because this is completely different in nature, sending their own disciples into the tiger's mouth, how will the world view the Tianjian Sect? Which cultivator will dare to come to the Tianjian Sect in the future?
The Tianchi disaster was nothing but a joke and would not hurt the foundation, but this matter concerns the most basic credibility issue.

Zhou Tianzheng watched and could only sigh. The elders were all aware of the fact that some outer disciples were sent to their deaths. There had been controversy about this many years ago, but they had to compromise in the end. Even Zhong Haoran didn't say anything.

Because, they were resisting the Pingtian Sect, but they also needed to leave food for the Pingtian Sect. If the ordinary outer disciples did not die, then the inner disciples would die. Once something happened to these people, it would directly affect the lifeblood of the sect.

If a sect encounters a serious problem, more than just these few people will die, and the entire city will be slaughtered and blood will flow everywhere. And the Tianjian Sect will be responsible for all of this.

They know what is more important and must make choices. "I understand. I understand."

Finally, Zhong Haoran nodded and strode out.

"Elder Zhong, what are you doing?"

"I'll go and bring someone back myself."

Many elders were shocked and hurriedly advised: "This is absolutely not possible. The negotiations have not been concluded. Chen Lang should still be alive. Elder Zhong, please be patient and put the overall situation first. Let's work together to find a solution."

"I will go alone. It won't hinder you from guarding the sect. What's wrong with that?" Zhong Haoran was indifferent, with murderous intent in his eyes, and he insisted on leaving.

He had encountered similar situations before, and these people told him to consider the overall situation.

Then when he encountered this kind of thing for the second time, these people told him to consider the overall situation.

This was the third time that these people told him to consider the overall situation.

But things never happen three times. He figured it out. These people are so concerned about the overall situation. The sect is enough with them. Does it need him?

With a wave of the brush, golden light burst out and a small boat appeared in front of him. Zhong Haoran stepped on it and prepared to fly away.

"Wait a minute, Elder Zhong." Zhou Tianzheng spoke.

"You want to stop me too?" Zhong Haoran turned around.

"No, I'll go with you."

"it is good."

Seeing that both of them were going, the other elders became even more restless. Although they usually quarreled fiercely, they were all family after all. If something happened to them, it would be a huge blow to the Tianjian Sect.

“You two, why don’t you wait for the sect master to come back before making a decision?” the elder who was giving the speech also said.

Then, he frowned and shouted to the other elders, "Don't just talk and don't do anything. If you keep doing this, I'll follow you, right? At worst, we can go to war with the Pingtian Sect again. It's not like we haven't fought before!

"We are a prestigious sect, but we have to give in to a group of alchemists and independent practitioners. You are Jindan cultivators after all. Are you practicing the Turtle Skill? How can you be so tolerant?"

Being scanned by the gazes, Elder Shi and Elder Qing remained unmoved. Going to war was impossible. If they did not agree, the sect leader would not agree either.

Seeing the controversy getting more and more intense, the old woman from Goddess Peak smiled faintly. She did not object and said, "Actually, there is no need to go there in person. There is a way to talk to them directly."

"What method?" asked Elder Shi.

"It is said that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is connected to the soul of the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls. We have a banner. Everyone is gathered here today. Why don't you meet the leader to negotiate face to face? If we can get Chen Lang back at another price, as long as it does not cross the bottom line of the sect, I think it doesn't matter if we pay a little more."

"Alright."

Elder Shi took a quick look and had no choice but to agree. If Zhong Haoran went there, he would be in great danger. If disaster struck the sect, he would not be able to escape.

Zhou Tianzheng didn't say anything, but looked at Zhong Haoran, waiting for his decision.

"Then do it."

Zhong Haoran waved his hand, and the golden boat disappeared.

"Go get the Ten Thousand Souls Banner."
