Chapter 16235 Agree
Qingming and the others fell silent. After a long while, Qingming finally spoke up: "But senior brother, this is too risky."

Qingxuan said in a deep voice, "Let's take a gamble, otherwise we'll be constantly suppressed. But it's still hard to say whether this will succeed. I'll send a message to the other sects and ask them to come here for a meeting to discuss whether they should participate in this operation. You all go and make your preparations." Everyone responded, and then Qingxuan waved to them. They stood up, turned around, and left.

After they left, Qingxuan instructed his sect members to send letters to the other major sects, saying that he had important matters to discuss with them and requesting that their respective sect leaders come to Tianxuan Sect. The people from those major sects trusted Qingxuan quite a bit. It could be said that the suppression of the various sects by the royal family in recent years had actually made the sects more united, so they believed that Qingxuan was not targeting them. The sect leaders made all the necessary arrangements and then came directly to Tianxuan Sect.

When they arrived at Tianxuan Sect, they were immediately invited to a conference room where Daoist Qingxuan was already waiting for them. He invited everyone to sit down, and they began to chat. They all asked Daoist Qingxuan what he wanted to see them about, but Daoist Qingxuan simply told them that he would tell them after everyone had arrived.

Soon, all the sect leaders of the major sects arrived. There were quite a few people this time, more than a hundred. And these were all sect leaders of major sects. Ordinary sects didn't even have the qualifications to attend this meeting.

Seeing that everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, Qingxuan said, "Everyone, I have invited you all here today because there is something I want to discuss with you. Last night, I met with Gongsun Xing. Gongsun Xing took the initiative to come to see me. He only had one purpose in meeting me, which was to cooperate with us. His aristocratic family alliance wants to cooperate with us to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and destroy it. We will split the benefits afterward."

Everyone was stunned when they heard him say that. Then they looked at Master Qingxuan with some surprise. One of the sect leaders asked, "Sect Leader Qingxuan, are you telling the truth? Gongsun Xing really said that?"

Master Qingxuan nodded and said, "Really, I have no reason to lie to you about this. You should have heard about the matter between the aristocratic families and the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, so it is normal for them to want to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect."

"So when he approached us and offered us benefits, he was actually planning to get us to act with them, so that when the royal family blamed us later, we would share the burden with them?" a sect leader said.

Master Qingxuan said in a deep voice, "That's true, and that's not true either. This time, it's not just about dealing with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, but also a test of the royal family." He paused here, glanced at everyone, and then continued, "Some of you may know this, and some may not. Let me tell you all, the royal family actually has an incredibly powerful ancestor. Not many people know this now, but anyone who does should understand how powerful that ancestor is. This is why the royal family has been able to suppress us for so many years. But whether this ancestor is still alive or not..." No one knows for sure, so this whole affair was actually a test of the royal family, to see if their ancestor was still alive. If he was, then after we dealt with the Myriad Laws Divine Cult, they would definitely retaliate very fiercely. However, because we acted in alliance with those aristocratic families, even if their ancestor were alive, the royal family wouldn't dare to go too far. If the royal family didn't take a particularly strong stance against us, it would mean their ancestor was gone. Then, if the royal family wanted to suppress us again, we could resist, and the fate of the Divine Kingdom would change. Do you understand now?

Among these sects, there were indeed a few who knew who the royal ancestor Qingxuan was talking about was. So after hearing what Daoist Qingxuan said, their expressions all changed slightly. Then, one of the sect leaders said, "If that's the case, then this operation is absolutely necessary."

Some sect leaders who were unaware of the existence of the royal ancestor all looked at him. One sect leader said, "This royal ancestor is extremely powerful. He single-handedly fought against fifty kingdom-level experts from the previous dynasty and killed them all in a quarter of an hour without being injured. You must know that those kingdom-level experts from the previous dynasty were extremely powerful. They were top-tier among kingdom-level experts. But even so, fifty against one was killed by that royal expert. You can imagine how powerful that royal ancestor is."

Upon hearing his words, the sect leaders gasped in astonishment. They found it hard to believe that such a master existed in the world; it was truly beyond their expectations, and they were at a loss for words.

Qingxuan then spoke up, “That’s right. So this time, dealing with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is a minor matter. The real issue is testing the royal family. So what I mean is that we agree to cooperate with the aristocratic families alliance. You all know how ruthless the royal family has been in suppressing us for so many years. If this test is successful, then we will never be suppressed by the royal family again.”

Everyone nodded. Qingxuan then spoke up, "If the royal family takes a very tough stance against us this time, it doesn't necessarily mean their ancestor is still alive. They might just be bluffing. We can continue to test them. In short, this matter is a challenge to the royal family's authority, and it was initiated by us and the aristocratic families. Therefore, I think this operation is very meaningful." Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this. At this moment, a sect leader spoke up, "Wait, Sect Leader Qingxuan, are you saying that the royal family's ancestor fought against a kingdom-level expert from the previous dynasty? That was so long ago! How could he still be alive? Aren't we being too cautious?"

Master Qingxuan shook his head and said, "With the strength of that royal ancestor, no one can say for sure how long he can live. What if he is still alive? Then who will deal with such a master? So we cannot act rashly before we are sure he is dead."

The sect leader fell silent. Indeed, to defeat fifty opponents in a quarter of an hour was an incredible feat. If such a master were still alive, they would certainly not dare to provoke the royal family.

At this moment, another sect leader spoke up: "That's not right either. Although the royal family has been suppressing us over the years, our strength has also been increasing. Moreover, those aristocratic families have been compressing the royal family's power. If the royal family's ancestor were still alive, how could he not take action and let those aristocratic families do this?"

An old sect leader spoke up: "Because the royal family's ancestor said that unless the royal family faces a life-or-death crisis, he will not come out of seclusion. That's why the royal family couldn't persuade him to come out of seclusion. But if the royal family really faces a life-or-death crisis, then if he really comes out, we will all be in trouble. That's why we are wary of the royal family."

No one spoke up then. Qingxuan said, "For so many years, we have never dared to touch the royal family, retreating again and again, while those aristocratic families have been getting stronger. Especially after this incident, the Creation God Sect was destroyed, and those aristocratic families benefited the most. So it is understandable that those aristocratic families want to test the royal family."

Everyone nodded, and Qingxuan continued, "If you agree to this, then go back and prepare. I will also tell Gongsun Xing about this. If you disagree, then I will directly tell Gongsun Xing that we will not participate. However, Gongsun Xing said that even if we don't participate, they will still deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. In that case, we won't even get half of the benefits from the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Moreover, the royal family may not necessarily break ties with those aristocratic families completely because of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. Therefore, their plan is very likely to succeed."

Upon hearing Qingxuan's words, everyone frowned. At this moment, an old sect leader spoke up: "I agree to participate in this operation. This is a good opportunity to test the royal family. If we miss this opportunity, it will not be easy for us to find such an opportunity again. Moreover, if it is just an alliance of aristocratic families, they may not be able to test anything. The royal family may suppress them, but they will not really break ties with them. However, if we act together with the aristocratic families, the royal family will definitely be on guard. Only in this way can we achieve the purpose of testing them."

Everyone immediately understood what the old sect leader meant. The royal family was not afraid to face the aristocratic family alliance or the sect alliance alone. They would use all means to suppress them because they believed that they could subdue the aristocratic family alliance or the sect alliance even without the support of their ancestor.

However, once the aristocratic families alliance and the sect alliance unite, the royal family will be cautious. They are well aware that once we unite, they will be no match for us. Only then will they be able to reveal their trump cards, and their biggest trump card is their ancestor, which can serve as a test.

At this moment, one of the sect leaders spoke up, "That makes sense. I also agree to participate in this operation." The other sect leaders nodded in agreement. Master Qingxuan glanced at them and then said, "How about this, let's all raise our hands to vote. Those who agree to act together with the aristocratic families, please raise your hands."

Everyone raised their hands. Seeing this, Qingxuan smiled and said, "Alright, everyone agrees. I'll reply to Gongsun Xing then. We'll plan carefully and wipe out the Myriad Laws Sect in one fell swoop. Then we'll see how the royal family reacts." Everyone nodded, their eyes shining. This was the first time they had directly challenged the royal family's authority, and they were all excited.
