"Of the two evils, choose the lesser. Although King Lu Dan's strength is formidable and he has many methods at his disposal, he is currently trapped within the Five Buddhist Monks' Tiger-Subduing Formation. Unless the sect gives permission, it is absolutely unrealistic for King Lu Dan to break out, even with heaven-defying abilities." Kong E did not believe Lu Xiaotian's strength had reached such an astonishing level.
"Don't forget that King Lu Dan cultivates both body and magic, and that both have already advanced to the Mahayana Realm many years ago. Moreover, he cultivates the Buddhist sect's sacred scripture. Since the scripture was lost, he is the first person to cultivate it to such a level. The power of his methods is far beyond what you or I can predict. There is no restriction in this world that cannot be broken, nor any formation that cannot be breached."
Kong Ming shook his head and spoke gravely. "Let's set aside King Lu Dan's exact strength. His influence in the Chaotic Demon Territory alone is already enough to warrant our sect's caution. If Senior Brother Kong Jian ascends to the Immortal Realm, the sect's strength will be weakened further. With the Five Buddhist Monks' Tiger-Subduing Formation unable to move lightly, we have no advantage whatsoever against King Lu Dan's forces outside."
"Of the two evils, choose the lesser. The threat behind that sword embryo is far greater than King Lu Dan's. If we make an enemy of it, the Buddhist sect will inevitably pay an even heavier price. Besides, the other party is willing to offer the Void Sky Cauldron in exchange. The Buddhist sect has no reason to refuse."
"Hopefully, this move will not cause even greater losses for the Buddhist sect." Kong Ming let out a faint sigh.
