"Absolutely not. Our Sacred Clan has nearly exhausted everything for everyone's chance at immortality. Even if we're to offer the Supreme Treasure Golden Gourd, our clan shouldn't be the only one to pay the price. Surely it's someone else's turn by now."
Elder Kong flew up and pointed at the great formation outside the Mysterious Xuan Wheel. "Of our thirty thousand soldiers, nearly every breath sees someone exhaust their vitality and collapse dead on the spot. The formation can hold for no more than three hundred breaths. When it falls, the people will die with it, and all thirty thousand soldiers will be wiped out in an instant. Hasn't our Sacred Clan paid enough already?"
Every word of his plea was heartfelt, each sentence dripping with blood and tears.
No one could deny the Sacred Clan's sacrifices. Even if they were unwilling to produce their Supreme Treasure Golden Gourd out of self-interest, that was only human nature.
The most awkward position belonged to the Imperial Martial Hall, the Gui Xu Sect, and the Taiqing Upper Sect.
Other than the Sacred Clan, those three were the only ones with Supreme Treasure Gourds.
Now, under Elder Kong's tearful, blood-soaked plea, the Sacred Clan had found the strongest possible reason not to use its Supreme Treasure Golden Gourd.
Those three sects immediately became targets of everyone's ire.
"Forget it. Just pretend I never said anything. Keep your gourds to yourselves, everyone. I, Wang, am willing to take the field myself. Even if I die, I'll have no regrets."
It was Xu Yi who finally broke the silence.
When disaster struck, it was hard to unite hearts. A familiar scene was playing out once more.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Yi wouldn't have minded standing aside and watching the show.
But this time, he wasn't
