Hearing that Master Tongtian had entrusted Hong Ze with the responsibility of the Profound Gate Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly, Duobao Daoren couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
Because only in this way could Duobao Daoren perfectly execute his plan and completely strip Hong Ze of his prestige within the Jie Sect.
So Duobao Daoren immediately stood up and directly addressed Hong Ze.
"Eldest Senior Brother, since Master has entrusted you with the important task of the Profound Gate Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly, please make the arrangements.
However, there is one thing that I, Duobao, must remind Eldest Senior Brother. That is, the Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly is not a child's game, and our Jie Sect absolutely cannot make a fool of ourselves."
Seeing that Duobao Daoren was clearly targeting Hong Ze, Holy Mother Gui Ling immediately prepared to stand up and speak for Hong Ze.
However, she was held back by Wu Dang Mother beside her, who also gave her a look.
This made Holy Mother Gui Ling reluctantly sit back down, but a hint of anger had already appeared in her eyes as she looked at Duobao Daoren.
At this moment, Hong Ze smiled and said, "Red flowers, green leaves, white lotus roots, the three sects are originally one family.
Therefore, this Profound Gate Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly is not about who wins or loses, but merely to provide an opportunity for fellow disciples to improve.
This time, you will follow me to the Hua Xu Tribe. You must not miss this excellent opportunity, as it is a rare and great chance that comes once in a thousand years."
Hearing Hong Ze say this, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian immediately jumped out and spoke to Hong Ze.
"Eldest Senior Brother, although the three sects come from the same master, they are divided into the Human, Elucidation, and Jie Sects.
The Human Sect and Elucidation Sect have never regarded our Jie Sect as fellow disciples. If we are suppressed in this Profound Gate Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly, our Jie Sect disciples will have to walk with their heads bowed in the Primordial World in the future.
Therefore, Chang Er believes that in this Profound Gate Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly, our Jie Sect must take the lead to let the Elucidation Sect and Human Sect know of our Jie Sect's extraordinary nature."
Hong Ze smiled and nodded, "Junior Brother Chang Er is right. We should fight for what we should fight for, lest our Jie Sect be underestimated.
However, this Profound Gate Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly is not just my, Hong Ze's, matter alone. It requires the entire Jie Sect to be united."
As soon as Hong Ze said this, the disciples of the Jie Sect nodded in agreement. After all, even if Hong Ze could win, it would only be one round.
To truly achieve victory in the Profound Gate Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly, there must be an absolute overwhelming advantage.
At this moment, Pi Lu Xian also jumped out and spoke to Hong Ze.
"Eldest Senior Brother, although our Jie Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, we cannot all go to the Hua Xu Tribe together.
After all, the Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly is not about which sect has more people, but about which sect's disciples have higher cultivation.
Therefore, I, Pi Lu Xian, believe that Eldest Senior Brother should select a hundred people, and these hundred people will represent our Jie Sect in the Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly."
After all, their goal was to make Hong Ze have no one available at the critical moment, so how could they let all the Jie Sect disciples go together?
Moreover, in previous Profound Gate Three Sects Dao Debate Assemblies, Master Tongtian would not bring all the Jie Sect disciples together, and even Hong Ze had never participated.
Logically, Hong Ze should not have been able to refuse this suggestion, as it was an old rule of previous Profound Gate Three Sects Dao Debate Assemblies.
But what Pi Lu Xian did not expect was that Hong Ze actually shook his head directly at him.
"Junior Brother Pi Lu Xian, your words are incorrect. Everyone present is a disciple of Master. Although divided into inner and outer disciples, they are all members of our Jie Sect.
Since we are all Jie Sect disciples, we naturally cannot fail to contribute to our Jie Sect. Moreover, this is the Profound Gate Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly, a good opportunity for all junior brothers to gain experience.
Therefore, I have decided to bring all the Jie Sect disciples to the Hua Xu Tribe. As for whether there is an opportunity to participate in the competition, I believe all fellow disciples will not mind."
As soon as Hong Ze spoke, he instantly gained the approval of most Jie Sect disciples. After all, who wouldn't want to participate in such a grand event?
However, Duobao Daoren did not want such a thing to happen, so he immediately spoke directly to Hong Ze.
"Eldest Senior Brother, Duo Bao feels that doing so is not advisable, otherwise it will inevitably cause Eldest Grand-Uncle and Second Grand-Uncle to feel resentful.
What's more, Golden Turtle Island cannot be left unguarded; a portion of the disciples still need to remain to guard Golden Turtle Island."
Duobao Daoren did not notice how many resentful gazes were directed at him when he said this.
But even if Duobao Daoren had seen them, he would never have taken the resentment of these people to heart.
Because in his mind, these Jie Sect disciples were dispensable, and it was even better to not have them at all.
Little did he know that this was exactly the result Hong Ze wanted. Duobao Daoren was walking step by step into the pit Hong Ze had dug for him.
So Hong Ze nodded directly, "What Junior Brother Duo Bao said is reasonable. Golden Turtle Island indeed cannot be left unguarded.
Moreover, the person guarding Golden Turtle Island must be capable of defending it.
Otherwise, if Master and the disciples are not on Golden Turtle Island, it would be bad if some petty villain came to cause trouble on Golden Turtle Island.
Therefore, I think it is most suitable for Junior Brother Duo Bao to lead the Seven Attendant Immortals to guard Golden Turtle Island."
As soon as Hong Ze said this, Duobao Daoren almost fell over. He had never expected that Hong Ze would make him stay.
Although Duobao Daoren had not planned to make a move even if he went, and even if he did, he was prepared to hold back.
But this was different from being left on Golden Turtle Island, because then he would not be able to control the overall situation.
So he immediately objected, "Does Eldest Senior Brother think he can turn the tide by himself?
If Duo Bao and the Seven Attendant Immortals are left on Golden Turtle Island, who does Eldest Senior Brother plan to send to participate in the Three Sects Dao Debate?"
Hong Ze smiled disdainfully, "My Jie Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, is there no one who can participate in the Three Sects Dao Debate?
Or does Junior Brother Duo Bao think that without you, Duobao Daoren, the Jie Sect cannot stand in this Primordial World?"
This was another big pit, and it was a pit that Duobao Daoren had to jump into.
Because if Duobao Daoren didn't jump, then he could only stay on Golden Turtle Island and look after the house.
So Duobao Daoren could only say to Hong Ze, "Eldest Senior Brother is mistaken. Although I, Duo Bao, do not think I can turn the tide, I do think I am qualified to represent the Jie Sect in the Three Sects Dao Debate."
Hong Ze nodded, "Since Junior Brother Duo Bao thinks he is qualified to represent the Jie Sect in the Three Sects Dao Debate, I wonder if Junior Brother Duo Bao is confident of victory?
And you all, if you also feel confident of victory in the Profound Gate Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly, I, your Eldest Senior Brother, will naturally not make you stay on Golden Turtle Island to look after the house.
On the contrary, if any of you cannot guarantee it, or even suffer a defeat during the Three Sects Dao Debate, then don't blame me, your Senior Brother, for not showing fellow disciple affection."
At this point, Duobao Daoren finally understood. After all this, the clown turned out to be himself.
Now Duobao Daoren had only two choices: either stay on Golden Turtle Island's Biyou Palace to look after the house, or go to the Profound Gate Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly to achieve merit.
But neither of these choices was what Duobao Daoren wanted.
