Flowing Cloud Matriarch waved his hand and said, "Please be patient. There's no decision yet on whether to directly participate in the war. However, if we are forced to, we will definitely strike swiftly!"
After he finished speaking, Flowing Cloud Matriarch exuded an overwhelming aura, which immediately intimidated the elder who wanted to continue speaking.
Although Flowing Cloud Matriarch said it was still uncertain, many people were still a little uneasy.
You should know that there are many Grandmaster present, not just her alone.
Behind them are relatives, Lineage, disciples, and a whole host of other people who are all intricately connected to them.
After all, everyone has emotions and desires when they live in this world, so how can one be completely emotionless?
If the Flowing Cloud Sect were to directly participate in the war, then these people would definitely have to fight.
After all, if you enjoy the benefits of the Sects, you will definitely have to pay a price for the Sects. At that time, your life or death will be uncertain.
That's why they were a little anxious, after all, this was a matter of life and death.
In fact, the elders present are used to a peaceful life because they rely on the three sects, which is why they have such thoughts.
Think about those Jianghu forces below. Which one of them didn't risk their lives every day to obtain those cultivation resources?
But now, simply by participating in the war, it has already drawn criticism from many people.
If it were the previous three sects, before they had completely suppressed the entire world, when wouldn't they be fighting and vying for resources?
It's only because everyone is used to being pampered that they seem so agitated.
The three of them, Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Gongsun Haoyue, Duanmu Haotian, had also noticed something amiss, which is why they had this idea.
However, due to the Bloodfiend Sect incident, the current environment doesn't allow for further expansion of the war.
Only by first eliminating almost all of the remaining forces of the Bloodfiend Sect in the Great Qian Dynasty can we truly achieve this.
That will be the time to officially take action against the Great Qian Imperial Family.
The elders debated intensely for a long time about the issue of directly participating in the war, but they couldn't reach a conclusion.
The reason is that if they were to directly participate in the war, it wouldn't be up to the Flowing Cloud Sect to decide.
After all, this is a plan involving three sects. It's impossible for the Flowing Cloud Sect to put in the effort alone while the Star Moon Sect and the Haotian Sect just sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits.
The elders of the Flowing Cloud Sect are not so selfless as to sacrifice themselves for others.
"Then let's discuss the plan to deal with the royal family!" Flowing Cloud Matriarch continued.
In fact, the Three Sects' initial plan was to use the power of the Jianghu to weaken the Martial Prohibition Hall, which would indirectly cripple the royal family.
This goal has now been fully achieved; the Martial Prohibition Hall is now defunct in name only.
After that, they took action against the National Preceptor's Mansion, completely suppressing the Great Qian Imperial Family.
At that time, how the Great Qian Imperial Family will be dealt with will depend on the mood of the three emperors.
However, now that a Peak Grandmaster has emerged in the royal family, the plan should be changed.
But now that the plan is already halfway done, it's impossible to give up now.
However, after discussing it for a long time, they still couldn't come up with any good suggestions.
Ultimately, this is because the three sects do not have the strength to deliver a fatal blow to the current royal family.
Although the royal family nominally had two Peak Grandmaster, Lu Tianheng had clearly harbored other intentions, so the three sects were still able to continue to suppress the royal family.
However, Jiang Zongquan is not comparable to Lu Tianheng now, which makes Flowing Cloud Matriarch and others feel troubled.
Seeing the elders discussing the situation, Flowing Cloud Matriarch felt helpless. However, her initial goal was not to have these elders offer advice.
It was simply a matter of letting the elders know about these things in advance.
Immediately afterwards, Flowing Cloud Matriarch brought up the Star Cloud Saint Art to the elders present, which was the true purpose of Flowing Cloud Matriarch's convening of this meeting.
The elders who had been outside before immediately began to discuss excitedly, as they already knew that some elders had already cultivated the new version of the Star Cloud Saint Art.
It just hadn't been promoted among all the elders until now, but I never expected that all the elders could finally learn it.
In fact, the reason why Flowing Cloud Matriarch convened the meeting at this time was to take advantage of this opportunity to summon back all the Grandmaster and elders who were outside.
Then, all the Grandmaster and Elders will be re-tested to see if anyone is secretly practicing the Bloodfiend Art.
After all, even Lu Tianheng, a Peak Grandmaster, could not resist the temptation.
Now that some of the Grandmaster and Elders of the Flowing Cloud Sect are out and about all day, it's inevitable that some of them will succumb to temptation and go astray.
Therefore, Flowing Cloud Matriarch still felt that she needed to personally examine and confirm all the Grandmaster and Elders once again before she could feel at ease.
Only by thoroughly investigating these elders first, and then conducting a comprehensive investigation of the entire sect, can the actions against the Bloodfiend Sect be effective.
However, Flowing Cloud Matriarch would not reveal this purpose to the elders; he would only use the pretext of imparting the Star Cloud Saint Art to conduct the investigation.
The same applies to the Star Moon Sect and the Haotian Sect. They all took advantage of this opportunity to conduct internal investigations, starting with the Grandmaster.
However, like the Flowing Cloud Sect, the Star Moon Sect also used the cultivation of the Star Cloud Saint Art as a pretext.
As for the Haotian Sect, Flowing Cloud Matriarch had no idea what method Duanmu Haotian would use, after all, he was even more anxious than he was.
However, the techniques of the Haotian Sect are naturally opposed to those of the Bloodfiend Sect; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to confirm that the people he encountered overseas were from the Bloodfiend Sect.
Therefore, if someone were to actually cultivate the Bloodfiend Art, they would likely not be able to escape Duanmu Haotian's perception.
Moreover, Flowing Cloud Matriarch summoned these Grandmaster and elders back because he genuinely wanted to impart the Star Cloud Saint Art to them.
It wasn't just a pretext; it was merely a way to investigate whether they were practicing the Bloodfiend Art while teaching the Star Cloud Saint Art.
The new Star Cloud Saint Art requires drawing upon the Star Power to strengthen the body.
And this Star Cloud Power is the natural nemesis of those who cultivate the Bloodfiend Art.
Therefore, when teaching them the Star Cloud Saint Art, why not also investigate them at the same time?
As for not letting them cultivate the Star Cloud Saint Art in front of her.
Flowing Cloud Matriarch had no such intention, if there really were members of the Bloodfiend Sect among them.
That would be tantamount to directly granting the Bloodfiend Sect the Star Cloud Saint Art.
This is not just a disaster for the Flowing Cloud Sect, but for the entire world.
Therefore, Flowing Cloud Matriarch convened a meeting of all the elders.
Moreover, the Star Moon Sect shares the same goal as the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Duanmu Haotian wanted to investigate whether any elders had run into trouble during his absence.
Therefore, all three sects summoned their elders back from outside the area without prior arrangement.
