Impossible!

"No!"

Inside the main hall of the Langya Sacred Land, after a long period of stunned silence, everyone finally came to their senses and began to shout.

"Why is Azure Cloud Sect so selfish? Releasing a powerful Devil Race who has been suppressed for a thousand years without authorization, what kind of logic is this?" Jia Sheng glared at Ling Yunzi. "Where do you place the lives of all people under heaven?"

Ling Yunzi countered, "Senior, do you truly care about the well-being of all people?"

"Of course!" Jia Sheng sneered. "Our Langya Sacred Land is loved and respected by all people, and we would never do such a thing."

Ling Yunzi, a mocking smile on his face, slowly asked, "Why haven't any powerful figures from the Langya Sacred Land come to the Azure Cloud Sect to help us in the past thousand years? Even a little bit of resources?"

The Azure Cloud Sect, which you all claim is selfish, has guarded against powerful Devil Race for a thousand years. From a top-tier sect, it has fallen to a state where only a handful of members remain. Even its resources were eventually exhausted, leaving only a little over a hundred Spirit Stone.

Then I'd like to ask, who is the selfish one?

Jia Sheng stammered, unable to utter a single word.

Tan Qiushui snorted coldly and said, "Our Langya Sacred Land offered to help you three hundred years ago, didn't you already refuse us? Was it that we didn't help, or that you were judging us by your own petty standards?"

"Gentleman, I remember you're the one who abducted my nephew, aren't you?" Ling Yunzi looked at Tan Qiushui. "To kidnap a sect's True Disciple behind their back, with the aim of obtaining their top-tier Spirit Artifact —is this the act of a gentleman?"

Besides, how did you help Azure Cloud Sect three hundred years ago?

If you truly want to help Azure Cloud Sect, you should enter the Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation and fight the Devil Race forces to the death, instead of trying to control our Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation or our Immortal Artifact!

Is this a gentleman? He's nothing but a hypocrite!

His straightforwardness doesn't mean he's stupid!

Because he was straightforward, he spoke very directly, showing no respect for the Langya Sacred Land and publicly berating them in front of a group of powerful figures.

Tan Qiushui opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

The Sage Master frowned slightly and slowly asked, "Other matters are one thing, but isn't releasing the powerful Devil Race a bit inappropriate? Your Azure Cloud Sect exhausted all your efforts to suppress these Demon Lords, and now you want to release them? Doesn't that first and foremost betray the predecessors who sacrificed themselves in this matter?"

Ling Yunzi gave a wry smile and said, "Senior, how could we not know that?"

However, our Azure Cloud Sect is truly powerless to help.

First of all, our Azure Cloud Sect has no successors. Apart from my fellow disciples, there are very few second-generation disciples.

They had painstakingly trained two successors a hundred years ago, but now they're gone!

Then, ten years ago, we took on another disciple and began training him.

He had only cultivated to the Golden Core Realm, yet he was surrounded and killed by dozens of the Golden Core Realm from more than a dozen sects, including people from your Langya Sacred Land.

Our Azure Cloud Sect has actually been bullied to such an extent.

The sects of the world are not even willing to leave us a single root; we are truly disheartened.

I think that if those predecessors from a thousand years ago had known that the Azure Cloud Sect would face such a situation, they would have chosen to retreat immediately instead of fighting those Demon Lord head-on.

It's been a thousand years!

We've been fighting for these Demon Lords for a thousand years!

Beset by internal and external troubles, we simply couldn't hold on any longer, so we had no other choice!

Ling Yunzi felt extremely angry when he thought of the grievances he had suffered at the Azure Cloud Sect.

In reality, if Zhang Yang hadn't been protected by numerous Spirit Artifacts and possessed some skill, how could he have escaped being surrounded and attacked by so many Golden Core Realm?

So, he truly spoke his mind.

It was precisely Ling Yunzi's serious and heartbroken demeanor that made many powerful figures in the Langya Sacred Land tremble.

It seems the Azure Cloud Sect is really going to withdraw!

This is terrible!

Those Demon Lord have been suppressed for a thousand years and still haven't died. Even the founder of the Azure Cloud Sect, who was almost ascending to immortality back then, couldn't kill them. If Demon Lord were released, who could withstand it?

"No!" Jia Sheng roared, "Your Azure Cloud Sect may retreat, but the Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation must remain. It is the foundation for Demon Suppression. For the sake of all living beings, we will not allow you to leave!"

Ling Yunzi sneered, "Senior, put away your greedy face! Let me tell you plainly, the core of the Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation is supported by Immortal Artifact, but it belongs to our Azure Cloud Sect. We can take it if we want, and no one can or dares to interfere. Otherwise, you can try."

"What if we don't let you go back?" Tan Qiushui asked slowly.

Ling Yunzi laughed, "I'm just here to inform you. Even if I don't go back, once the three-month period is up, Eldest Senior Brother and the others will leave! Maybe they'll leave in a month because I didn't go back. As for my life or death, I'll probably die in the Azure Cloud Sect even if I stay, because of suppressing the Demon Lord. Do you think keeping me here will scare me?"

Everyone looked at each other, their faces showing signs of constipation, completely at a loss.

They could foresee that once those Demon Lords were released, their Langya Sacred Land and Myriad Spirits Sect would be the first to suffer.

The two sects are not far from the Azure Cloud Sect, so they are bound to suffer.

As for resisting the Devil Race... what will we use to resist them? Send the strongest warriors to fight to the death? Will they also suffer the same fate Azure Cloud Sect, falling into ruin?

Therefore, the only solution is to seal those Demon Lord within the Azure Sky Ultimate Cloud Formation!

The Sage Master sighed and looked at Ling Yunzi, slowly asking, "What if we give you resources?"

"No!"

"Sage Master, you mustn't! The Azure Cloud Sect harbors treacherous ambitions!"

"We cannot give in to the Azure Cloud Sect's wishes!"

The elders all shouted in unison.

In reality, none of us are fools.

Everyone thinks the Azure Cloud Sect deliberately blackmailing us, but what if they actually do it?

This is a blatant, overt conspiracy!

Nobody dares to gamble!

However, no one wanted to compromise so quickly.

The Sage Master waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then looked at Ling Yunzi before continuing to ask, "What do you all say?"

Ling Yunzi said frankly, "The affairs of the Azure Cloud Sect are to be decided by our Eldest Senior Brother! He only asked me to inform everyone about the defense; he didn't tell me anything else."

The Sage Master pondered for a moment and then said, "You go back first!"

We will send someone to discuss the specifics with you within a month.

Even if you want to retreat, it will be three months from now.

A month is plenty of time for you, right?

Ling Yunzi nodded. "We promised to withdraw in three months, and we will definitely keep our word. Of course, if someone deliberately tries to blackmail us, then it's hard to say. By the way, I'll have to trouble you, senior, to inform the other sects of this news. I still need to go back to help suppress the Demon Lord; if I'm away for too long, my Eldest Senior Brother and the others will have an even harder time."

"Alright, I understand. You may go back now!" the Sage Master gestured.

"This junior takes his leave!" Ling Yunzi bowed to the Sage Master, strode out of the Langya Sacred Hall, and flew away.
