♂,
"Just now, I was testing whether Fellow Daoist Xia was sincere and whether you could hold fast to your resolve. That was why I deliberately said the opposite to probe you. Now that things have come to this, Fellow Daoist Xia remains so unyielding. It is clear that you are truly sincere toward our Ancient City Sea Region. I admire and respect you!" After Elder Yu, several of those who had shouted at me fiercely earlier soon flew over from Liang Qiu Si's side as well.
"That's right. Everything we said just now was to test you. We never expected you to possess such profound principles and such a resolute heart! A model for us all. From now on, we'll follow you, brother!" At their level of cultivation, they were all crafty old foxes. They effortlessly found themselves a way down and even elevated themselves to a whole new height.
Soon, only two fellow disciples remained beside Liang Qiu Si. The accomplices from Spirit Gourd Island who had helped me kill Wang Shouliang had no intention of coming over either.
Four people facing more than a dozen of us were obviously much weaker in momentum. Everyone stared at them coldly, and Liang Qiu Si said furiously, "Ungrateful turncoats! Without me, let's see how you'll deal with the Six Great Sects!"
"At worst, we die, Senior Brother. I, your Junior Brother, won't accompany you any longer. I can't bring myself to go against everyone's wishes." Before Liang Qiu Si had even finished speaking, an old man beside him who looked to be about his age cupped his hands toward him, then chose to stand before me as well.
"You! You! You dare betray the Ancient Immortal Sect? I'll expel you from the sect right now!" Liang Qiu Si was livid.
