Peerless God of War

"Is someone from the Dou family here?" Xu Fang asked.

"Well, let's go. Since we can't escape, we have to face it. If Xiaoling Island really can't be saved, then so be it." The old man sighed.

In fact, he already had the idea of ​​giving up in his heart, because he knew a truth, even if he escaped by luck this time, what should he do next time?

You can't just let Xu Fang and other disciples risk their lives to hunt in the open sea again. That would be too dangerous.

This time, one of his disciples has died forever. The old man really doesn't want to continue sending the white-haired man to the black-haired man. This feeling is too uncomfortable and painful.

There is probably no greater sorrow in the world than this.

"But, Master, is there no chance at all? I'm really unwilling to do so." Xu Fang bit her teeth lightly and said with stubborn eyes.

Xiaoling Island means a lot to her, almost half of her life.

If Xiaoling Island is not protected, it will be tantamount to being completely homeless for her. Moreover, they have already paid too much to maintain the existence of Xiaoling Island. Even Senior Brother Ming is unlucky this time. Died in the hands of evil cultivators.

She was unwilling to give up so easily no matter what.

The old man looked at Xu Fang, his eyes full of heartache, and sighed, "Silly boy, what can you do even if you are unwilling? That is the Dou family, one of the four major families in Baishi City. We can't fight them. Rather than struggling fearlessly, it would be a relief to just let go.”

For the old man, it was true.

In order to maintain the existence of the Xuanji Sect, he has worked hard over the years. It can be said that he has spent countless efforts. He has only one purpose, which is to maintain the Xuanji Sect until a turning point occurs.

It is a pity that no one can learn and understand the secret knowledge of Xuanji Sect until now, so that it can only be lost in the end, and there is not even a monk who has the opportunity to attack the Tribulation Immortal Realm.

This shows how dilapidated it is.

"But..." Xu Fang said with a sad look on her face.

The old man interrupted her and said: "That's enough, I've made up my mind. You brothers have done enough for the Xuanji Sect. I don't want to see any more sacrifices. That's it, let's end it. "

Seeing that the old man had said this and was planning to give up completely, Xu Fang was speechless for a moment.

At this time, the old man waved his hand and forcibly cheered up, regaining a trace of his youthful and energetic appearance, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, all the disciples will go out with me to greet the Dou family."

"yes."

"Yes, Master."

Xu Fang let out a long breath, as if all her strength had drained away at this moment, her body felt weak and light, with no strength, because the faith that had been supporting her completely collapsed at this moment.

"yes."

She lowered her head and said.

At this time, outside Xiaoling Island, the huge Dou family spirit ship lay across the sea. A monk in silver armor flew over Xiaoling Island with a cold face, and his cold eyes swept over everyone. Pass.

"Hey, it's just a small, run-down sect with just a few disciples. There's definitely no profit to be made."

The silver-armored monk thought silently in his heart.

A moment later, just when he was about to get impatient with waiting, a group of people headed by the old man, followed by Xu Fang and other disciples, flew out of Xiaoling Island, and the two sides looked at each other from a distance in mid-air.

"Who is the leader of the Xuanji Sect?" the silver-armored monk asked coldly.

"I am." The old man took a step forward and responded.

"According to the rules of Baishi City, if you want to continue to occupy this Xiaoling Island, you need to pay one million divine essence stones and you can continue to use it for ten years. I must have explained it in detail in the ultimatum given to you before. You can Do you know?" the silver-armored monk said coldly.

The scope of Baishi City is very large, and tax collection is one of its main sources of income. However, because its scope is so large, it is impossible to send so many people to collect taxes individually, so this right is delegated to The four great families.

The four major aristocratic families contributed their efforts. After receiving the money, they only need to hand over most of it to Baishi City, and the rest will naturally go into the pockets of the four major aristocratic families.

This is something that everyone knows very well, and it can be considered a very tacit behavior.

Hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "I know."

"What's your answer?"

The old man looked back at Xiaoling Island, feeling a little unbearable, but he still gritted his teeth and made up his mind, saying: "I do not intend to continue to occupy this Xiaoling Island, please take it back."

"Take it back?" The silver-armored monk's eyes moved, a little surprised.

He did not expect that the other party would be so decisive and directly abandon Xiaoling Island. Such a situation was quite rare, especially for such a small sect, giving up Xiaoling Island would be even more uncomfortable than killing them.

Without Xiaoling Island, there is no foundation, just like a lonely ghost, without the sustenance of the mind.

Normally, no monk would be willing to do this.

It seemed that the group of people in this so-called Xuanji Sect had really reached the end of their rope and had no choice but to give up.

"Are you really going to give up on Xiaoling Island?" The silver-armored monk asked again.

"I..." The old man looked particularly ugly and depressed.

Seeing this, the silver-armored monk smiled faintly and said, "Since you can't take out one million divine stones, there is another way to continue to occupy this small spiritual island. It is said that there is a secret book called Xuanji Baolu in Xuanji Sect. As long as you are willing to take out this Xuanji Baolu and lend it to my Dou family for reference for ten years, this small spiritual island can continue to belong to you. How about it?"

"What? Xuanji Baolu? No, absolutely not. I know that your Dou family will not have any good intentions. You actually want to take my sect's secret book. Humph, this is absolutely impossible. Forget it. Even if Xiaoling Island is gone, it is impossible to leak the sect's secret book. You can just give up this idea."

Hearing this, the old man was also furious.

He didn't expect that the other party had already set his sights on the sect's secret book of Xuanji Sect. This was clearly a means to dig up their roots, just like digging up their ancestors' graves, wanting to cut off their descendants.

Moreover, the old man knew very well that if the Xuanji Baolu secret book was really lent out, it would be almost impossible to get it back.

Although the other party said that it was a loan, in fact, it was a loan without return, so he naturally would not believe such nonsense.

Not only the old man, but also Xu Fang and many disciples were all indignant, staring at the other party with eyes full of fire.

"Absolutely impossible, how can the Xuanji Baolu be lent to outsiders? It is absolutely not allowed." Xu Fang said righteously.

On the first day of the new year, I wish you all a happy new year and prosperity~
