“Yes, Sect Leader, I think Elder Huang's words are not without reason. No matter what, we still need to come up with a plan to reassure the disciples…”

“Yes, Sect Leader, you are a Celestial Supreme, your heart is as firm as a mountain in the face of danger and adversity, but the disciples are just disciples after all…”

“Sect Leader…”

Seeing the Sect Elders present, one by one, voice their agreement.

Xuanbing Star Lord Huang Yuankun's hanging heart also relaxed, and he even secretly felt pleased.

He knew his goal for today had been achieved.

He didn't believe Chen Jiuxu could come up with any plan in this dangerous situation.

It was simply impossible to directly confront Ye Huang and the others.

There was only one solution, and that was to call Li Yun back and use Li Yun to appease the situation.

And as soon as Li Yun returned, he would be dead.

Ye Huang and the others would definitely not let Li Yun go, and he could also gain great benefits from it.

That's right.

In fact, he had already secretly contacted Ye Huang and the others.

The reason he kept complaining in the Heavenly Martial Main Hall today was to force Chen Jiuxu to call Li Yun back.

“Is this your opinion?”

“Good, good… Since that's the case… then I will come up with the plan you want!”

Chen Jiuxu smiled coldly.

“From now on, I announce that Heavenly Martial Sect is officially entering a state of crisis, and I will officially activate the Mountain Sealing Array in one day, sealing off the mountain gate from then on.”

“From the Elders down to the Outer Sect Disciples, those who are willing to stay in the Sect and advance and retreat together with the Sect to resist the crisis are welcome. Those who are unwilling can also step forward, and I will safely send them out of Heavenly Martial Sect before officially activating the Mountain Sealing Array. From then on, they will no longer be my Heavenly Martial Sect disciples.”

“Heavenly Martial Sect's life, death, glory, and disgrace will no longer have any connection with them!”

“What, Sect Leader… How can you do this? You are splitting our Heavenly Martial Sect! How can this be?”

Xuanbing Star Lord Huang Yuankun and the others' expressions suddenly changed drastically.

They cried out in alarm.

This was clearly not the result they wanted.

What they wanted was for Chen Jiuxu to call Li Yun back to exchange for huge benefits from Ye Huang and the others, not to sever ties with Heavenly Martial Sect like this.

One must know that if they didn't sever ties, they would still be Heavenly Martial Sect Elders.

Heavenly Martial Sect would still be one of the Four Top Sects in Eastern Cloud Continent. As long as they didn't leave the Eastern Cloud Continent, as Heavenly Martial Sect Elders, they would still be prominent figures.

Once they severed ties and Heavenly Martial Sect sealed the mountain.

What would they be considered?

Just stray dogs.

Even if they could seek refuge with other forces later, they would never be able to obtain the same status, position, and power as they had in Heavenly Martial Sect.

They weren't fools, how could they not understand the pros and cons of this?

“Why not?”

“I am the current Sect Leader. When Heavenly Martial Sect faces a crisis of annihilation, I have the right to decide how to preserve Heavenly Martial Sect.”

Chen Jiuxu's expression was extremely indifferent.

As a Celestial Supreme and the Sect Leader of Heavenly Martial Sect, he clearly saw why these people were complaining here and what schemes they were hatching in their hearts.

It was nothing more than wanting to sacrifice Li Yun in exchange for benefits.

This was simply extremely shortsighted.

To be blunt, in Chen Jiuxu's eyes, even if all these people were tied together, plus the two hundred thousand disciples of Heavenly Martial Sect, they wouldn't be worth a single hair on Li Yun's head.

It had only been a few months, and the commotion Li Yun had caused in the Sky-Splitting Dynasty, which had been reported back one after another, filled Chen Jiuxu with such vigor and excitement that it was indescribable.

These shortsighted fools simply didn't know the value of Li Yun's existence.

But he knew very well.

As long as Li Yun was here, and given him some more time, he would definitely become one of the top powerhouses of the current era.

Only with Li Yun could Heavenly Martial Sect truly achieve supreme glory.

And only with Li Yun present would others not dare to easily deal with Heavenly Martial Sect.

Let him betray Li Yun?

How could that be possible?

If he had to make a choice, then he might as well sever ties. Sweeping out this group of shortsighted people would be a purification of Heavenly Martial Sect.

Only those who were truly courageous and willing to advance and retreat with the Sect were worthy of the future glory of Heavenly Martial Sect.

“Sect Leader… you… fine, then I choose to leave!”

Xuanbing Star Lord Huang Yuankun was so angry that he trembled a little.

Gritting his teeth and stomping his foot, he chose to sever ties with the Sect.

It wasn't that he really wanted to sever ties with the Sect, but that he didn't believe Chen Jiuxu would really dare to do so.

Recently, the disciples throughout the Sect had been in a state of panic. Once given the choice, he believed many people would leave Heavenly Martial Sect to seek other opportunities.

At that time, the number of people who could truly stay and advance and retreat with Heavenly Martial Sect would probably not exceed ten thousand.

Perhaps even fewer.

He didn't believe that in the face of such a situation, Chen Jiuxu would truly have the courage to let so many people leave.

“Good, you may!”

“Those who choose to leave Heavenly Martial Sect can now walk out of the Heavenly Martial Main Hall and wait at the Outer Sect training ground. After everyone has made their choice, I will personally escort you out of Heavenly Martial Sect.”

Chen Jiuxu was also straightforward and agreed directly.

Xuanbing Star Lord Huang Yuankun was extremely angry. He didn't expect Chen Jiuxu to be so decisive, and he instantly felt a great insult.

“Sect Leader… do you really have to do this?”

“Is it true that in your eyes, we who have made great contributions to Heavenly Martial Sect, and those disciples who have been painstakingly nurtured by the Sect… are not even as important as Li Yun alone?”

“Is it that difficult to find Li Yun and hand him over to Ye Huang and the others in exchange for the peace of the Sect?”

Chen Jiuxu smiled coldly.

“Yes, it is very difficult!”

“If I have to choose between Li Yun and all the disciples of Heavenly Martial Sect, I choose Li Yun!”

“Alright, stop the nonsense. Since you have made your choice, leave now and wait at the Outer Sect training ground. You can rest assured… as long as you make your choice, I will safely escort you out of Heavenly Martial Sect, ensuring that you will not be implicated by Heavenly Martial Sect.”

“At that time, whether you wish to establish your own Sect or join other Sects is your freedom. My Heavenly Martial Sect will never obstruct you, nor will we settle accounts later!”

“But you must remember, as long as you make your choice today, no matter what glory Heavenly Martial Sect achieves in the future, it will no longer have anything to do with you!”

“Good, good, good… Since Sect Leader, you are so resolute, then we also hope you don't regret it. We shall see if Heavenly Martial Sect, with only a few people left, can still be called Heavenly Martial Sect?”

Xuanbing Star Lord Huang Yuankun snorted angrily, then directly turned around, preparing to walk out of the Heavenly Martial Main Hall.

Some dissenting Sect Elders sighed upon seeing this.

“Sect Leader, it's not that we are heartless, but that we don't want to lose our lives for nothing because of Li Yun!”

Immediately after.

One by one, the Sect Elders walked towards the main entrance of the Heavenly Martial Main Hall.

Just then—

A faint voice came.

“Sect Leader, why go to so much trouble?”

Whoosh!

As the voice spread, a tall and straight figure suddenly appeared outside the main entrance of the Heavenly Martial Main Hall, his handsome face full of indifference.

If not Li Yun, who else could it be?
