The Two Shakya's Bright Idea: The Interception Sect Could Supply Everyone! Was Yuanshi Furious Again?
Daoist Zhunti suddenly turned to the expressionless Sect Master Tongtian.
He said, "Senior Brother Tongtian, forgive me for being so bold!"
Sect Master Tongtian had guessed what Daoist Zhunti had in mind, but he said nothing. He merely watched him calmly.
As though watching a clown perform.
Daoist Zhunti felt uncomfortable under that gaze, but he cleared his throat and continued. "Ahem... Senior Brother Tongtian, what I'm about to say is only a small suggestion. Please don't be angry!"
Sect Master Tongtian said nothing. He simply kept watching him.
"I'll be bold, then!"
Daoist Zhunti drew a deep breath, as though staking everything on his words. "Senior Brother Tongtian, everyone knows the Interception Sect is the greatest power in the Primordial Wilderness. None can rival it! Ten thousand immortals come to pay court, and the gods bow before it—it is the greatest power in the Primordial Wilderness in both name and deed!"
"And everyone knows you have more than a million Outer Disciples!"
"Those Outer Disciples have put down roots and spread their branches throughout the Primordial Wilderness, founding sects of their own. Their disciples must number in the tens of millions!"
"If you're willing, Senior Brother, why not show some sincerity? Contribute a portion of your Outer Disciples, along with a portion of the Interception Sect branches they founded across the Primordial Wilderness. That would surely provide at least a million!"
"That would fulfill the task our teacher assigned and fill out Junior Brother Haotian's Heavenly Court, putting an end to all these vexing problems."
"What do you think?"
Daoist Zhunti delivered this speech with an air of righteousness.
As though he were upright and making some great sacrifice for the cause.
The Saints all turned their eyes toward Sect Master Tongtian. Venerable Yuanshi, too, stared hard at Tongtian.
