If these two started fighting, the forces behind them probably wouldn't let the matter rest. No matter who won, it would end in a fight.
The Tianyi Sect and Heaven Earth Gate were both top forces in Ascension Prefecture. If the two clashed, the flames of war could easily spread across the entire prefecture. Now that would be quite a spectacle.
After all, the Eastern Continent was already in a state of turmoil. The Demon Race and the Asura Clan were fighting with bloodshot eyes. For the Human Race to suddenly erupt into civil war against that backdrop—wouldn't that make them a laughingstock?
"Hmph. Then tell me, who do you think this Ascension Disk belongs to?"
A man from Heaven Earth Gate snorted and turned to face the others.
As a Spirit Transformation cultivator, he naturally understood the pros and cons. He was merely arguing for the sake of it.
If a Spirit Transformation True Person couldn't tell what mattered most, then all those hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation might as well have gone to the dogs.
So those melodramatic stories in films and television, where someone betrayed their own faction and made an enemy of the world over a woman? They were only good for watching.
"Since we can't settle this dispute, how about we have a little sparring match?"
The white-haired old man standing at the center of the eight slowly spoke.
As soon as he finished, the others all grew solemn.
Everyone who had made it here was an outstanding talent from their respective forces, and this old man was undoubtedly the strongest.
But that was only as far as appearances went.
After all, they'd all been around for many years. It would be hard to explain if they didn't have a few trump cards.
