Chapter 429 Shifting the Blame

Xu Guancang nodded, "I've considered this point, but the only way to get them to send elite disciples to support us now is through this Three Sect Joint Order."

After speaking, Xu Guancang's gaze suddenly turned cold, "If anyone dares to rebel, we'll make an example of them by destroying the first sect that riots."

Xu Guancang added in that chilling tone, "No matter how strong they are, they are just one sect!"

Xu Guancang's words, carrying endless chill, struck the hearts of those present.

Those present, including Hao Tianquan, were stunned by Xu Guancang's aura.

Yu Daochen looked at Xu Guancang opposite him and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Although this person's strength was not on the Black List, his strategy was definitely not inferior to anyone present.

Making an enemy of him would undoubtedly be an unwise choice.

The people present fell silent. The Three Sect Joint Order was of great importance and required careful consideration.

Just as everyone was unable to make up their minds, Hao Tianquan spoke, "Since everyone has no other solutions, let's vote by a show of hands."

"Those who agree to use the Three Sect Joint Order, please raise your hands."

As soon as Hao Tianquan said this, the people present began to ponder.

Without exception, Xu Guancang was the first to raise his hand in agreement to use the Three Sect Joint Order.

Hao Tianquan also raised his hand. For him, this battle had resulted in too many losses. Although some disciples of Chang Le Sect had miraculously survived, their numbers did not exceed twenty, which was no different from annihilation.

As Nanjing Shuo was from the state, he naturally raised his hand in support, followed by Ma Zhong.

Now, only Yu Daochen, Cui Yiling, Tang Junsheng, and Liu Jizhan had not yet expressed their stance.

Seeing the situation, Tang Junsheng declared his position, "This Three Sect Joint Order is of great significance. The Yan Shu Sect is behind me, and this might implicate them."

Tang Junsheng's meaning was quite clear: he disagreed.

Tang Junsheng also knew that Nanjing Shuo, Xu Guancang, and Ma Zhong were in league. Moreover, they had no sects behind them. If someone wanted revenge in the future, they couldn't exactly go against the state, could they?

As for Hao Tianquan, his sect was destroyed, and his disciples were killed. Chang Le Sect had basically fallen off the stage of history.

He was now beyond caring, eager for other sects to come and die, wishing for chaos.

"Amitabha, this humble Daoist also chooses to disagree," said Forgetful Bliss Nun, clasping her hands together without saying more.

Next, it was Liu Jizhan and Yu Daochen's turn.

Liu Jizhan was hesitant. To be honest, he really wanted to agree. If other sects sent elite disciples to support them, it wouldn't be a problem to defend for half a year, let alone ten days.

But now, almost every sect had sent disciples to support them. Although it was somewhat perfunctory, they had at least sent disciples.

It would be somewhat inappropriate to ask them to send elite disciples again.

"I choose to disagree," Liu Jizhan said slowly.

The situation was now three to four, with only Yu Daochen left to express his stance.

Seeing that Liu Jizhan had not agreed, Yu Daochen cursed inwardly.

"Good heavens, so you're passing the buck to me. This guy is also an old fox."

Yu Daochen cleared his throat and smiled, "Everyone present is a respected senior in the martial world. I, a junior, am not as strong as any of you, nor do I have any backing. Furthermore, I'm dragging along a small sect. I really don't dare to offend the great figures of the martial world."

Yu Daochen spoke with a hint of grievance, secretly amused.

"It's just showing off, as if I don't know how to do it."

Hao Tianquan, sitting in the middle, had a dark expression and cursed inwardly.

"How can these words come from your mouth?"

"No backing?"

"Who doesn't know about the master in the Jiangdu Midnight Shop? This is what you call having no backing."

If it weren't for Hao Tianquan's pride, he would have exposed Yu Daochen on the spot.

Yu Daochen naturally noticed Hao Tianquan's expression but pretended not to see it.

"This will offend all the sects in the martial world. Whoever wants to take this risk can do so, but I won't."

Tang Junsheng, standing beside them, remained silent but his gaze towards Yu Daochen changed.

It was as if he was saying, "Well done!"

The scene fell silent again. With a four-to-four tie, honestly, Hao Tianquan regretted inviting Yu Daochen.

If this guy hadn't come, they might have been able to use the Three Sect Joint Order with a four-to-three vote.

Just as they were unsure what to do, Tang Junsheng spoke, "Since the votes are tied, let's think of another way."

Although Nanjing Shuo and the others were unwilling, they had no other choice but to think of another method.

After all, with a tie, they couldn't forcefully implement the Three Sect Joint Order.

Liu Jizhan thought for a moment and said, "There is still one more way."

As Liu Jizhan finished speaking, everyone present looked at him.

Liu Jizhan explained his original plan, "My original plan was to shrink the encirclement. This way, it would reduce the manpower and also concentrate the experts."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Liu Jizhan's plan.

Although this method was not the optimal choice, it was indeed somewhat useful.

Nanjing Shuo pondered for a moment and nodded, "This method isn't bad. What's the specific plan?"
