Seeking Aid from the Yang Household?
The elders discussed amongst themselves, but could not reach a consensus. Seeing this, the Grand Elder became somewhat agitated.
Normally, these things would be taken care of by True Person Beigong; he wouldn't have to worry about anything, he only needed to provide military deterrence.
However, with the passing of True Person Beigong, this burden fell upon his shoulders.
"Alright, stop arguing. Proceed according to my plan. No one is allowed to hesitate!" The Grand Elder slammed his hand on the armrest, unleashing the oppressive aura of Spirit Transformation cultivator. The hall fell silent instantly.
Seeing this, the Grand Elder spoke up, "First, immediately announce to the outside world that the Sect Master is merely in seclusion, and the claim of his death is utter nonsense."
"Secondly, from this day forward, the sect's defenses will be relaxed on the outside but tightened on the inside. All disciples must be on high alert, especially Core Disciples, who are not allowed to leave the sect unless absolutely necessary."
"Third, the Luochuan Army should be immediately redeployed, withdrawing from the border to garrison the sect!"
"Fourth, seek help from the major powers with which we have good relations. The Qingcheng Sword Sect next door has a deep friendship with our sect. I will write a letter immediately and ask the Qingcheng Sword Immortal to help keep an eye on the Zhou Household's Spirit Transformation. You should also seek help from other major powers with which you have good relations, and be sure to be sincere in your words."
At this point, the Grand Elder paused, looked at True Person Yunting, and said, "Yun Ting, go to the Yang Household and do your best to persuade Yunhua to send a Fifth-Tier War Flying Vessels to support us. If possible, it would be even better to have the Water God Dao Soldiers come."
In return, my Luochuan Sect will pay the corresponding hiring fees and will never let the Yang Household suffer a loss.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of all the Nascent Soul elders in the hall lit up. If the Yang Household could intervene and help the Luochuan Sect, they could naturally overcome this calamity.
"Grand Elder, the Yang Household probably won't make a move. Don't forget we were..." True Person Yunting shook his head, his expression bitter.
"What happened before? When has my Luochuan Sect ever mistreated the Yang Household? Yunhua, in the end, still a member of my Yun Household, with my Yun Household blood flowing through his veins."
We are her elders, how dare she talk back to us?
"Let's go, let's go to the Yang Household right now and ask Yunhua for help. If she dares not agree, I'll stay at the Yang Household and not leave!" True Person Yun Hai stood up, looking aggressive and self-righteous, and pulled True Person Yunting to walk out.
If the Grand Elder hadn't reminded him, True Person Yun Hai wouldn't have remembered.
My niece is the mistress of the Yang Household; she can even mobilize Spirit Transformation combat power, and her backing is incredibly strong.
If we could appeal to Yunhua's emotions and get her to help, our current predicament wouldn't matter at all.
Upon realizing this, True Person Yun Hai's initial fear vanished completely.
As for his past grievances with Yunhua and his harassment of the latter, True Person Yun Hai automatically ignored them.
We're all family, so I doubt Yunhua would hold it against us.
Otherwise, True Person Yun Hai would dare to spread rumors that Yunhua is a heartless and ungrateful person. Surely the latter wouldn't want to see that happen?
So what if Yunhua is unhappy? He's her Uncle; does she think she'd dare kill someone?
In short, True Person Yun Hai has made up his mind to rely on Yunhua and the Yang Household.
As long as he clings to this powerful figure, even if Luochuan Sect falls into trouble, Yun Hai can still live a good life.
Of course, this is on the premise that True Person Yunting is involved; otherwise, it's uncertain whether he will even be able to meet Yunhua.
Shaking off True Person Yun Hai's hand, True Person Yunting gave him a cold look.
Then, he looked at the Grand Elder above him and said, "As an elder of the sect, Yun Ting naturally obeys the sect's orders. However, whether Yunhua is willing to help is not something I can decide. I hope the Grand Elder will investigate thoroughly!"
"You handle this as you see fit, just do your best!" The Grand Elder sighed, not giving any firm orders.
True Person Yunting nodded slightly, then stepped out of the main hall.
True Person Yun Hai immediately followed, but was stopped by the Grand Elder, who said, "Yun Hai, you stay in the sect. I have another task for you."
"Grand Elder, I..." True Person Yun Hai wanted to decline. In his opinion, it would be best to go to the Yang Household with True Person Yunting now, so that he could at least find an opportunity to curry favor with Yunhua.
With Yun Ting around, no matter how much Yunhua dislikes him, she won't do anything too ugly.
However, the Grand Elder was worried that True Person Yun Hai would mess things up, since he knew this person all too well.
If True Person Yunting was extremely loyal to his sect and Lineage, True Person Yun Hai was the complete opposite; he was selfish and only cared about himself.
As long as he can live a good life, True Person Yun Hai doesn't mind harming the interests of his sect or Lineage.
Of course, he hid it very well during the process, but it would be difficult to deceive the Grand Elder. After all, he was the highest authority in the Luochuan Sect, and his understanding of the various elders in the sect must be extremely detailed.
