Even today, most of the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Saber Sect here only know that woman's name!
His surname is Liu, so it's entirely possible that he really is a descendant of the God King Fusheng!
But now that the God King Fusheng is in dire straits himself, he probably has no interest in caring about the safety of a descendant!
"It's not that I, Jiang Yu, am sentimental, but the conditions proposed by the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion are simply unacceptable!"
Jiang Yu was also very frustrated.
He had never expected that the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion would make such a suggestion!
The God King Fusheng is now reduced to Divine Infant, which is a very advantageous situation for the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion!
Under these circumstances, Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion should have pressed their advantage and pursued the attack!
Could it be that the Heavenly Sword God King also knows that Liu Ling'er possesses Supreme Divine Physique and doesn't want her to grow stronger?
Jiang Yu had already made preparations: if the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion launched a full-scale invasion of Red Cloud Star, then the Heavenly Saber Sect would fight them to the death in Purple Maple Valley!
Unexpectedly, the other side proposed a ceasefire despite the favorable situation!
"You don't know yet, Liu Ling'er possesses Supreme Divine Physique; she can completely help us fight against the Heavenly Sword God King in the future!"
Jiang Yu added, " The Heavenly Sword God King must have realized this, which is why he went to such lengths to kill her! By granting the Heavenly Sword God King his wish, we've essentially destroyed a hope that could allow us to turn the tide in the future!"
It's fair to say that his plan to lure the enemy out has failed!
Now, those who oppose him have indeed jumped out, but they have fairly good reasons!
Instead, he found himself in an extremely passive situation!
Jiang Fengnian and the others knew that he would not accept Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion's proposal, and they themselves were not necessarily willing to kneel before Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion, but they could use this as an excuse to make trouble!
"Sect Master, if the Heavenly Sword God King is willing to give the Supreme Divine Physique time to grow, why do we need to discuss this here?"
Jiang Junjie chimed in, "For the sake of a Supreme Divine Physique that hasn't even matured yet, and may never mature, we're giving up the chance to win peace and insisting on fighting Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion to the death in such an unfavorable situation. That's irrational!"
"When the previous sect leader passed the leadership to you, he said that only you can ensure the survival of our Heavenly Saber Sect. Don't make us doubt his judgment!"
Jiang Huarong and her brother sang in unison!
This statement is a public yet subtle questioning of Jiang Yu's status as sect leader!
"In short, I do not agree to accept the ceasefire terms offered by the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion!"
Jiang Yu said coldly, "I believe that any disciple with a shred of backbone would not do such a thing as begging for mercy from the enemy by betraying their own people!"
Let's vote by raising our hands!
Jiang Fengnian spoke again, "Raise your hand if you share the same attitude as the sect leader!"
The direct descendants of the Jiang Clan naturally sided with Jiang Fengnian, and none of them raised their hands!
Only three people who were usually close to Liu Fusheng raised their hands!
Those with backbone, who refused to kneel before the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion, also raised their hands!
However, in the end, there were still more people raising their hands than before!
After all, Heavenly Saber Sect Heavenly Saber Sect belongs to the Jiang Clan!
Moreover, the situation was indeed very unfavorable for the Heavenly Saber Sect. Even the God King Fusheng almost perished, which made many people realize the power of the Heavenly Sword God King!
Fighting to the bitter end might just mean certain death!
The higher one's cultivation level, the more afraid they are of death!
"Sect Leader, the result is clear: you have a minority of supporters!"
Jiang Junjie slightly curled the corners of his lips.
Jiang Yu could only sigh inwardly, realizing that compared to Jiang Fengnian, he was still not deeply rooted in the Heavenly Saber Sect!
If Liu Fusheng hadn't only had the Divine Infant left, the outcome of this vote would have been different!
Unfortunately, there's no "what if"!
"I'm going to use my sect leader privileges!"
Jiang Yu had no other choice. He said in a deep voice, "I am vetoing the results of this vote. The Heavenly Saber Sect will not betray its own people, and will not kneel before the Heavenly Sword God King!"
Jiang Junjie and Jiang Huarong exchanged a glance, both siblings wearing faint, smug smiles.
"Sect Leader, you should think this through!"
Jiang Fengnian seemingly kindly reminded him, "The sect leader's privilege can only be used once; once it's used, it's gone!"
My mind is made up!
Jiang Yu answered without hesitation.
He also knew that Jiang Fengnian and the others were trying to force him to use his sect leader privileges, which was a crucial step in pulling him down from the sect leader's throne!
Not only the Heavenly Saber Sect, but no sect would allow a powerful individual to act with impunity, especially the sect leader. A sect may grant you privileges to establish your authority, but those privileges are not unlimited!
Flying Rosy Clouds Star, Flying Rosy Clouds Continent!
Having just experienced a great battle, the Ten Thousand Swords God King Liu Chuantao arrived at the riverside courtyard of the Heavenly Sword God King Feng Wuhen.
Why did the Pavilion Master suddenly request a ceasefire from the Heavenly Saber Sect?
Liu Chuantao was very puzzled.
"The special envoy Ye Hongchen from the Wuji Sword Sect said that the current sect leader of the Heavenly Saber Sect Jiang Yu, is actually the illegitimate son of the sect leader of the Wuji Sword Sect!"
Feng Wuhen replied calmly.
"I see!"
Liu Chuantao nodded knowingly.
Given Jiang Yu's special status, if the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion goes too far, it will inevitably anger the sect leader of the Wuji Sword Sect!
"Lord Pavilion Master, Lin Heng has appeared on teleportation arrays on planets like Gold Sulfur Star and Tuosi Star. He should have gone to Red Cloud Star as well. Why should we ask the Heavenly Saber Sect Heavenly Saber Sect to hand over his mother instead of simply asking them to hand over both of them?"
Liu Chuantao asked again.
" Lin Heng has most likely indeed gone to Red Cloud Star, but he may not have revealed his identity to the Heavenly Saber Sect, nor may he have reunited with Liu Ling'er!"
Feng Wuhen explained, "We can't reveal this information to the Heavenly Saber Sect! Besides, if the Heavenly Saber Sect really hands Liu Ling'er over to us, Lin Heng will definitely follow her back to Flying Rosy Clouds Star, trying to rescue his mother. As long as Liu Ling'er is in our hands, he won't be able to escape!"
Liu Chuantao nodded again, "Lord Pavilion Master, Jiang Yu has clearly rejected your request for a ceasefire. Even if Jiang Fengnian were willing to accept it, as long as Jiang Yu's attitude is firm, Liu Ling'er will still not be sent over!"
"It's alright, it's best if it's not sent!"
Feng Wuhen said casually, "I didn't expect Jiang Yu to compromise or back down. My request for a ceasefire is just to give the Wuji Sword Sect an explanation!"
"We must let that sect leader know that it is the Heavenly Saber Sect that is unwilling to make peace and insists on protecting our Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion's mortal enemy. We have no choice but to destroy the Heavenly Saber Sect!"
"As long as we don't harm Jiang Yu, that sect leader won't punish us too harshly!"
He was very reluctant to let the Heavenly Saber Sect go, and even more unwilling to leave behind troubles like Lin Heng and Liu Ling'er!
Especially Lin Heng, that kid is simply a prodigy!
After having a meeting with the higher-ups of the Heavenly Saber Sect, Jiang Yu arrived at Lotus Pond Cottage!
When he saw Liu Ling'er again, his eyes widened in surprise at just one glance!
"Miss Liu, your cultivation level..."
"During the time Sect Master Jiang was away, I obtained a Yin-Yang Return to Void Pill, which is why I achieved the cultivation level of High-Stage Heavenly God!"
Liu Ling'er smiled, her smile blooming like a flower!
She's been very happy lately!
