Chapter 15638 Decision
Kong Jing didn't want to back down, but he had no choice. The reinforcements from the Dao Sect had already arrived twice, and this time they had even brought large magical artifacts. They had done a very good job. If he didn't back down, he would be stubborn and would only make himself look petty. So he simply lowered his head.

Looking at Kong Jing's expression, Qing Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He knew Kong Jing's thoughts; Kong Jing's thoughts were the same as his. It was just that the Buddhist sect was unhelpful and had not provided Kong Jing with any support. Otherwise, Kong Jing would definitely not be reacting like this now.

Thinking of this, Qingyu couldn't help but say, "Alright, then we'll wait for news from the other sects and see what they do. We're only here to let you know that our sect's reinforcements have arrived and to see when we can launch an attack. If you want to wait for news from the other sects, then you can wait for now."

Upon seeing Qingyu's expression, Kong Jing knew that she had understood him. He was deeply moved and sighed softly, saying, "Thank you for your understanding. You two should go back and rest first. I will let you know when I have any news."

Qingyu nodded and stood up with Qingbo, walking out together. Soon, the two left Kongjing's main hall. They remained silent until they returned to the Ruyi Eight Treasures Gourd. Watching the Daoist disciples orderly entering the gourd, Qingbo finally spoke, "You seem to have a good impression of Kongjing? You didn't embarrass him just now."

Qingyu sighed softly and said, "His thoughts are actually the same as ours. We all want to take over the Jade Bamboo Continent in one fell swoop and drive the people of the Seven Realms back to the Seven Realms. However, the One Buddha Sect is not very supportive of him in this regard. Compared to the support the sect has for me, it is far less. So as you can see, the One Buddha Sect has not sent a single reinforcement so far. Not only them, but other sects and families have not sent reinforcements either. He is very bitter right now, but there is nothing he can do. He can only wait for the final result. If their sect really does not send reinforcements, then they may announce a retreat without us even needing to attack."

Upon hearing Qingyu's words, Qingbo couldn't help but smile slightly and say, "I really didn't expect that the One Buddha Sect didn't send a single reinforcement. They still want to be the number one sect in the Meteorite Domain. With such a mindset, they can't possibly become the number one sect."

Qingyu snorted coldly and said, "With their abilities, they still want to be the number one sect? This incident has already shown many people the true colors of the Yifo Sect. Even if the Yifo Sect sends reinforcements later, it will be useless. Everyone has seen through them and will not think more highly of them just because they send reinforcements. In this kind of thing, you either do it first or you don't do it at all. Doing it second or last is actually no different."

Qingbo nodded. At this moment, Qingyun also flew over. He looked at the two of them and said, "Why are you back so soon?"

Qingyu said in a deep voice, "Kongjing lowered his head. He said he would wait for news from the sect. Well, let's wait then. I want to see if the One Buddha Sect will send reinforcements. If they do, we will attack the Jade Bamboo Continent. If they don't, we will come back."

Qingyun nodded and then said, "The disciples can all enter the gourd now, and they can get some rest." Although all cultivators can rest in the void, it's not the same as resting in the Jade Intent Eight Treasures Gourd. It's like sleeping in the wild versus sleeping in your own bed—how can they be the same?

Soon, all the disciples of the Dao Sect entered the Jade Eight Treasures Gourd, which made people from other sects and families extremely envious. They also wanted to have a good rest, but unfortunately, they didn't have that opportunity.

On the other side, on the highest mountain of a vast continent, there is a large complex of buildings. At the very center of this complex is a three-faced Buddha. This three-faced Buddha is about a thousand meters tall and is made entirely of metal. It is enormous. One side of this three-faced Buddha is the Buddha of Passing Clouds, one side is the Buddha of the Future, and one side is the Buddha of the Present. The three-faced Buddha looks in three directions with a solemn and dignified appearance. This is also the location of the sect of a Buddhist sect.

Despite its name, the Yifo Sect actually worships more than one Buddha. Currently, in a side hall of the Yifo Sect, the abbot and some hall masters are holding a meeting. Abbot Jueyin sits on the main cushion. He is a slightly plump, kind-looking monk, appearing to be only about fifty years old. He has a fair complexion, no beard, and bright eyes, always wearing a smile. He looks at everyone with a smile and then speaks: "You have all read Junior Brother Kongjing's letter. To be honest, I didn't expect the Yidao Sect to send such a large magical artifact this time. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

The monks all fell silent. They hadn't expected the Yi Dao Sect to send out such a large magical artifact. This was completely unexpected. After a while, one of the hall masters finally spoke up. He sighed and said, "Abbot, I don't think we need to send any more reinforcements. When it comes to sending reinforcements, we should either be the first to send them or not send any at all. Sending the second will only make us a laughingstock. So we might as well not send any reinforcements and just make our stance clear."

Upon hearing his words, none of the other hall masters spoke. Some nodded, while others frowned. The next moment, one of the frowning hall masters spoke up: "I disagree with doing this. If we don't send reinforcements now, won't all the limelight be stolen by the Yi Dao Sect? I think we must send reinforcements and not let the Yi Dao Sect monopolize the limelight."

Many people agreed with his point of view. The hall master who had spoken earlier then said, "Other sects can do this, but we can't. This time, the commander is one of our own, but we haven't sent any reinforcements to the front lines. Even if we send reinforcements now, by the time they arrive, reinforcements from other sects and families might already be there, making us even more humiliated. So my idea is that we shouldn't send reinforcements; we should just have Kong Jing announce the disbandment of this allied force. While this might seem like an admission of defeat, it wouldn't be the most shameful thing. After all, the Dao Yi Sect also lost when they were the commander last time. And I've also heard that the Yi Ti Sect demanded an explanation from us; they actually wanted to disband as well, but Qing Yu put them in a difficult position." "They can't leave yet. As long as we announce the disbandment of the alliance, they will definitely support us. And this news must be announced as soon as possible. Only in this way will reinforcements from other sects or families not arrive at the front lines. Otherwise, we will only lose face even more. Moreover, there is a reason for doing this. Don't forget, the people of the Seven Realms have already built the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall on the Jade Bamboo Continent. Even if we send out large-scale magical artifacts, are we sure we can break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall of the Seven Realms? If we can't break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall of the Seven Realms, then what's the point of sending reinforcements? It's better to disband the alliance and wait until the people of the Seven Realms take action again. Then we can re-establish the alliance, and next time we re-establish the alliance, we can directly send out large-scale magical artifacts and increase manpower, concentrating all our strength to defeat the people of the Seven Realms in one fell swoop. This time, let's retreat."

Upon hearing his words, everyone fell silent. Yes, he had raised the most important question: who could break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall? This had been a question on everyone's mind in the Meteorite Domain. If they could break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, then there would be no need to say anything more; they would have already driven the people of the Seven Realms back, or even destroyed the Seven Realms long ago, instead of waiting until now. The biggest problem now was that they had no way to break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, which was their biggest headache.

If they can't break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, what's the point of sending reinforcements now? And even if they do send reinforcements, what about the other sects? What about the other families? Will they send reinforcements too? If they don't, what will they do? Will they and the Dao Sect be the only ones attacking the Seven Realms? Who will be responsible for the losses of those two sects? In the end, it will only benefit the other sects. So what's the point of sending reinforcements now?

Upon hearing this, everyone fell even more silent. Abbot Jueyin glanced at everyone and then spoke up, "I also think there's no need to send reinforcements this time. Let's just disband the allied forces. The Ten Thousand Serpent Wall on Jade Bamboo Continent is already built, and we have no way to take it. If the people of the Seven Realms attack that continent again in the next moment, we can form an allied force again and give them a full-force blow. At that time, we might be able to take advantage of the situation and take Jade Bamboo Continent directly. Now we have no chance to attack Jade Bamboo Continent. Sending reinforcements would only be suicide."

Everyone nodded, and Abbot Jueyin said, "I will write to Junior Brother Kongjing now and ask him to announce the disbandment of this allied forces. Since the reinforcements from other families and sects have not yet arrived, they may be hesitant and waiting for our attitude. Once we make this announcement, we will be on their side. As for the Yidao Sect, it is on the opposite side of all of us. In the future, they may be more friendly to us and more distant from the Yidao Sect. This will also benefit us."

Everyone nodded again, and Abbot Jueyin said, "If no one objects, I will write to Junior Brother Kongjing now, otherwise it may be too late."

Everyone responded in unison, "We have no objection." Abbot Jueyin nodded and said, "Alright, then everyone should go back first. I will handle the rest." Everyone responded in unison, then they all stood up, bowed to Abbot Jueyin, and then left the side hall.

After they left, Abbot Jueyin took out a communication array and a jade slip, and sent a letter directly to Kong Jing.
