Chapter 248 I gave you a chance but you didn’t use it.

Qu Hong came to pay his respects, and the remaining five people also stood beside him, calling him "Master Donghuang Taiyi" and bowed down.

Mei Qiulu put one hand in front of her chest and bowed her head slightly: "My fellow Taoists, your courtesy."

Six people accepted the gifts, and the remaining five were about to straighten their backs to speak, but Qu Hong spoke up while he was still straightening his back: "Master, Sect Leader Li said you are here to borrow something, what do you need? The Yudu Sect is not powerful, but if we can help, please speak up."

Mei Qiulu smiled and said, "I appreciate Elder Qu's kindness, but the thing I want to borrow is only available in the Suhua Sect."

After she said that, she looked at Kong Xuan and said, "Sect Master Kong, I'm here to borrow the Xuanzhu from the Suhua Sect."

The room fell silent for a moment, and the six people were silent. Kong Xuan was shocked, angry, and happy again.

"Xuanzhu?" She repeated the word, looked at the six people again, and sneered, "Did you hear that? Xuanzhu. Don't you like to help? How about going to help - take out all your sect treasures and help Master Mei!"

Then he stopped sneering and said, "Master Mei, so you brought these people here just to rob the Suhua Sect's treasure? Well, Li Wuxiang has already taught us from the 36 sects a lesson about the Sword Sect's tyranny. Now Master Mei has only been on the mountain for less than a day, and he has learned even more!"

Mei Qiulu said calmly: "Master Kong has misunderstood. It is indeed a loan, and if you borrow, you must pay it back."

She looked around and said, "All my fellow disciples are injured. I want to borrow the Mysterious Pearl to heal them. I don't mean to threaten them by asking them to come up together. I just want Master Kong to see their injuries and know that I am not lying. Since the Great Tribulation Alliance is to fight against the Xuan Sect, the people of the Xuan Sect will not sit idly by. When they come in a few days, the injuries of my fellow disciples will heal faster and they will have enough strength to fight again. It will only take two weeks. This matter will be witnessed by Emperor Taiyi."

The room was still very quiet when she said the first few words, but when she said the last sentence, the elders of the six sects all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Since I can't compete for the first place, I'll just follow anyone. But when I heard her ask for the Suhua sect's treasure just now, I was frightened for a moment - this behavior is even more terrifying than Suhua and Juque.

But since it was said "witnessed by Taiyi" - such words are not easily uttered by ordinary practitioners, and it was said by the Taiyi leader now, which can be said to be a solemn oath, so it should be said that it was really "borrowed".

"I can't borrow it." Kong Xuan said, "If Sect Leader Mei really wants to fight against the Xuan Sect, it's best to go down the mountain now. Everything was ready for the Great Tribulation Alliance, but when Li Wuxiang came, it set off a bloody storm and made people panic. Now Sect Leader Mei, you are here again, and you are going to make the mountain a mess."

She looked at Mei Qiulu, but only for a moment, then she looked away and stared at Li Wuxiang and said, "Besides, whether the Xuan Sect will come or not is still uncertain. Even if they come, we are all gathered on Dajie Mountain, so we are not afraid of them leaving the diocese. But you are more troublesome to our thirty-six sects than the Xuan Sect right now--"

She glanced at everyone in the room: "Those who are here, at least they were not outsiders before. I won't preach any big principles, I'll just say it straight - Mu Zhenyuan is gone, and the group is leaderless. Master Mei may want to be the leader, but you, the Sword Sect, are good at fighting and killing, are you good at anything else?"

"In the past three hundred years, there have been about a hundred people in your sect, and even the Yudu Sect where you, Elder Qu, are, has nearly ten thousand disciples and countless industries. When the seal-holding sect leader comes out, the sect he belongs to needs to rally people's hearts - yes, you call yourself the Taiyi Sect Leader, and there are many people like Elder Qu who know how to adapt to the situation, so rallying people's hearts is a piece of cake. But let's talk about something more practical. The purpose of rallying people's hearts is to allocate the sect resources of the Great Tribulation Alliance so that the disciples of the alliance can practice - Elder Qu, you are the deputy elder of Yudu, do you have any industry in your lineage that should belong to the sect but is actually your own?"

Qu Yang frowned: "Oh, Master, I dare not say that, I..."

Kong Xuan ignored him and glanced at the other people: "Do you have them too? Master Mei, among the thirty-six sects, which sects have how much stuff and what industries, do you know as Master Taiyi? Your people have become the seal master, how can you transfer these things? Our five major sects, Suhua, Juque, Qingxiao, Qianji, and Tiangong - do you think we have done nothing in these years, so we deserve this title? You know how to command more than a hundred people to cut off heads with flying swords, but do you know how to manage and allocate countless industries under your sect and let the disciples practice without worries?"

Qu Yang was about to speak again, but Kong Xuan raised his eyebrows and pointed at him: "Those who are like this, fence-sitters who change their minds with the wind, naturally won't worry about these things, they just know to follow others! Master Mei, don't you have the same feeling in the Sword Sect? Li Wuxiang said that our thirty sects are hiding behind the Sword Sect, but these people used to hide behind our five major sects, so they don't have to think about anything. Do you understand what I said? So, if you really want the thirty-six sects on the Great Tribulation Mountain to contribute to the "resistance against the Xuan Sect", then go down the mountain. Otherwise, even if the Great Tribulation Alliance is established, it will leak everywhere in a few years and fall apart!"

Mei Qiulu was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Li Wuxiang: "What she said does make sense."

Li Wuxiang sighed and nodded: "Yes, I never thought about this before."

Kong Xuan was stunned by what the two said. Just as he was about to speak, Mei Qiulu turned her gaze back and said, "But I just said that the people of Xuanjiao will not sit idly by and will come - not that they may come, but that they have already come. Xiao Suo -"

Behind her, Xiao Suo, who was wrapped in bandages, stepped forward and said, "Senior Sister."

"How far is it?"

"Junior Sister He just came back from a scout and said that most of the troops are still five days away. But when she came back, she fought with a spirit cultivator, and that spirit cultivator is near Pingshan City."

These words surprised the six elders, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Mei Qiulu asked again: "Tell Master Kong how many people there are in the majority."

Xiao Suo looked at Kong Xuan and said calmly, "We ran into them when we came here. Most of them are from the True Form Sect, at least 200 of them, and the remaining five sects, add up to about 100, a total of about 300 people."

Qu Yang opened his mouth and couldn't help asking: "...Among these three hundred people, how many of them have reached the Spirit Refining Realm that you have met before?"

Xiao Suo looked at him: "All of them. But——"

Qu Yang took a breath, but when he heard Xiao Suo say "but", he only took half of the breath. However, the words after "but" made him take the rest back -

"——But there are more than that. Some are also coming here from the direction of Nether Nine Abyss. The True Form Sect that was previously pinned down in Nether Nine Abyss by our sect's heroic spirit has been pulled out because the area has been taken over by the majority of the Taiyin Sect that arrived later. If you calculate it this way, within twenty days, there may be nearly five hundred soul refiners that have arrived at the Great Tribulation Mountain."

Nearly five hundred...refined spirits!?

Qu Yang and the other five elders all knew that Xuanjiao's Refining Spirit was the Golden Elixir... but it was not the Golden Elixir of the Thirty-Six Sects, but the equivalent of the Golden Elixir of the Sword Sect. Although it was weaker outside the diocese, the cultivation level was still above the Golden Elixir of the Thirty-Six Sects. Moreover, this "weaker" refers to ordinary fights - the Sword Sect's Golden Elixir and Xuanjiao's Refining Spirit fought outside the diocese, and Xuanjiao's Refining Spirit could not borrow the magic as conveniently as in the diocese, so it was defeated. But when they were about to die, there was still a way... that was to sacrifice their body and mind and invite the Great Emperor's true spirit to descend to the world!

The sacrifice of Xuan Sect varies according to the level of individual cultivation, and the power of the true spirit invited down also varies. But if one really intends to die and fights to the death, I'm afraid it won't be much different from the golden elixir of Jian Sect!
"So you guys... encountered them... and killed them!?"

Xiao Suo smiled faintly: "It can't be said that we were involved. We were surrounded for a short while, and then we found that we ran into them sideways. We were going to the Great Tribulation Mountain, so we were busy running for our lives - only a few dozen people were killed or injured."

Qu Yang took a breath and said, "You don't have any of your people..."

"That's not the case. With Senior Sister Mei in charge, the people of Xuanjiao were unwilling to die, so they killed and injured dozens of them and stopped chasing."

Qu Yang nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!"

He asked in a low voice, "Then, what about the Nascent Soul... not the Return to Void realm?"

Xiao Suo laughed again, "That's not a lot, not more than a hundred. At the beginning, there were more than forty Return to Void who wanted to break into You Jiu Yuan from Lingshan, but we stopped them. Our Sword Sect with only a hundred people can stop more than forty Return to Void, and there are masters from thirty-six sects gathered on Dajie Mountain, so it should be no problem to stop nearly a hundred of them."

Qu Yang opened his eyes, and like the people around him, he was unable to speak.

There are actually quite a few people on the Great Tribulation Mountain right now. For example, the five major sects have nearly a hundred disciples. If you count the sects that have come to the mountain in recent days, the number of people is much greater than that of the Xuan Sect, perhaps two or three times more.

But for example, among the nearly one hundred disciples stationed in Suhua, most of them are here to serve as servants. There is no need to mention their cultivation level. They are just at the Qi Refining stage. There are probably only twenty or thirty people above the Golden Core stage in Suhua Sect, and there are probably less than three hundred Golden Cores in the entire Dajie Mountain.

As for Nascent Souls, no matter how you count, there won't be nearly a hundred, maybe only thirty or forty... For example, in his Yudu Sect, there are only two Nascent Souls, himself and the other from the sect.

But Yang Shen...

Qu Yang immediately turned to look at Kong Xuan. The other five people were stunned for a moment, then they all reacted and looked at Kong Xuan.

The only Yang God on the Great Tribulation Mountain right now is this Sect Master Kong!

Kong Xuan felt a chill in his heart when he heard Li Wuxiang speak, his expression was very serious: "So many people have come? Senior Sister Mei, you didn't tell me just now... But fortunately, we still have a Yang God on Dajie Mountain. Xuanjiao's Huanxu is just a mere Yuanying. If they really come, Sect Master Kong, the Yang God, will kill twenty or thirty of them like slaughtering chickens and dogs to scare them. Then, won't the Yang God Sect Masters of other sects also come? Even if I bring five more Yang Gods, and each of them kills twenty, Xuanjiao's one hundred Huanxu will not be enough to share--"

He looked at Kong Xuan and said, "Sect Master Kong, Senior Sister Mei thought what you said made sense just now, so it must be true. Since you said that there is no leader now, you will be the leader. We, the Sword Sect, will fully support you. Let's see how you can show your might in five days."

Kong Xuan's face was tense, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "You...you brought it here!"

Mei Qiulu said: "No."

"……that is!"

Li Wuxiang sighed, "My sister doesn't lie. If she says it's not, then it's not. But you, Sect Master, insist on saying yes, no, yes, it's just like a child throwing a tantrum."

Kong Xuan then realized that he had lost his composure due to his agitated mood, and he immediately stopped talking.

After a while, he said, "Li Wuxiang, your master was able to beat Mou Zhenyuan, a Yang Shen, back to a Yuanying state, and your Senior Sister Mei was able to kill him with one sword when he was possessed by a demon. With such abilities, do I really need to help?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the room had become extremely quiet again - and then she realized that she had said something wrong, but it was too late.

The elders of the six sects heard from her that Mou Zhenyuan was dead. This matter gradually spread tonight. No one knew the details. But they were all guessing how Mou Zhenyuan died - was he killed by the Yuanying of the Sword Sect? This fact was unbelievable and impossible no matter how you thought about it.

And now, Kong Xuan said that he was Li Wuxiang's "master", and then mentioned Mei Qiulu, which means that his "master" and Mei Qiulu are not the same person, so... "killing" is secondary -

Knock the Yang God back to the Nascent Soul! ?
This method is even more incredible!
Which master is he? Who!?

Li Wuxiang saw their eyes, then looked at Mei Qiulu, and refrained from mentioning Jiang Jie. He just sighed and said, "Master Kong, you are... Alas, you see, you can't be the leader like this. We are not as good at business as you, but it seems that we do know how to kill people better than you. So in the current situation, do you think business is more important, or killing is more important? You are also a person of temperament, so I have something to say -"

"If you lend us the Xuanzhu, we will stay and help you kill people. If not, we will not disturb the affairs of your thirty-six sects and leave."

"Li Wuxiang." Mei Qiulu glared at him. "Don't say such things. Sect Master Kong is right in saying that the thirty-six sects are of the same blood and help each other."

She looked at the six elders: "The thirty-six sects worship their respective ancestors, but I also know that there are Taiyi Temples in the sects, and they also worship Taiyi Emperor. After more than three thousand years, they still remember where the legal lineage of each sect is. No matter what, it is a continuation of the same lineage. Whether Sect Master Kong lends us or not, we have to stay - we know how to deal with Xuanjiao monks better. Otherwise, if we don't lend it, I think she will also help when the fight breaks out. Sect Master Kong, don't you think this is the truth?"

Kong Xuan kept silent. He just squinted his eyes and looked at Mei Qiulu and Li Wuxiang with a cold smile.

Then he was silent for a moment: "How long? Twenty days? You must keep your word!"
