Taoist Master Xuanhuang

"Underestimating her? She predicted our predictions."

Yan Lai said depressedly.

As soon as they left the Spirit Beast Headquarters, they started spreading the news. Unexpectedly, the Spirit Beasts did the same and also started spreading the news as soon as they left.

"Master, what should we do?" the Confucian leader said solemnly.

The tone was a bit hostile, as if he wanted to take revenge.

After all, it's rare to suffer such a huge loss. If you don't pay it back, are you still one of the Big Four?
"What can I do? If I lose, I lose. What else can you do with the spirit beast?"

Yan Lai also said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

The disciples spoke in a bad tone because they felt provoked, and Yan Lai's bad tone was to criticize these people, and he was just short of saying that they were out of their minds.

"Can you beat the Holy Mother of Tushan? Or can you win the lawsuit?"

Yan Lai didn't want to be acquiesced and asked directly.

The group of people who were questioned were speechless. They couldn't beat him up, and they couldn't complain either.

I really can’t cure the spiritual beast.

He even said that if the problem had to be solved by force, his top leaders would never leave Qingyun Mountain again, because Holy Mother Tushan alone could wipe out all the top leaders of the Confucian sect.

Rules always protect the weak and always restrict the strong.

"You want to break the rules after suffering a little loss? Don't you know that the rules are to protect us? Tushan's strength is at the limit of the second stage, and our best tricks can't do anything to her. Use your brain when you speak next time."

Yan Lai continued to criticize.

Those people who just said that were all very ashamed.

Putting aside the losses suffered externally, the Big Four have never suffered any losses internally, which makes them particularly strong internally.

I kind of forgot that I'm the weak one.

"They are more skilled than us, so we have to accept defeat... What's the situation outside?" Yan Lai revealed the matter.

Meng Qiao replied: "It's very bad. The independent cultivators were angered by this news and have formed a united front. They are not going to give up. We...we..."

"We have to pay a certain price, right?" Yan Lai answered for him.

"Yes, Master, the third battlefield is impossible. With the current situation, if we give the third battlefield to the spirit beasts, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid that the independent cultivators have been completely offended. The independent cultivators, who are determined to fight to the death, will definitely sue the Big Four directly.

"What are the other three plans?"

"Master, there is no news from the other three families yet. I guess they are also making a decision." Meng Qiao.

There was silence for a while.

"Let's withdraw from the three major battlefields and retain control of the city. Let's withdraw from all three battlefields."

Yan stated his decision.

"Headmaster?"

"This, this, Master, there is more to it than that."

"Yes!"

Everyone was very puzzled, and Yan Lai waved his hand to stop everyone from talking.

He said: "Retreat to advance, and calm anger. It's our turn to close the battle line. Spreading out too much is not all good. I have thought about some of the recent events for a long time. The disorderly expansion needs to be curbed. Don't rush to refute, think about it carefully before speaking."

Since the headmaster said so, everyone naturally couldn't continue to refute, and instead did as the headmaster said, think about it carefully.

The disorderly expansion was not intentional on their part, but was forced upon them. There were many unexpected situations, so they had no choice but to go ahead with it.

We have barely made it this far, but there are many hidden dangers on this high-speed chariot.

Starting from the sudden attack on the teleportation array, which resulted in heavy losses, to the seriously ill personnel, bloated management, and lack of supervision.

One thing after another, all indicate that although things are running at a high speed, there are many hidden dangers, and we need to calm down for some time to sort them out.

Only in this way can we go into battle with greater ease, instead of being like now, not knowing when another accident might occur.

We are all smart people, we just didn't change our thinking at the moment.

After thinking silently and calmly, everyone felt that the headmaster was right and that it was time to calm down and stabilize the situation.

This period of sedimentation is for better progress in the future and will be of great benefit.

"Master, I agree with your idea. You are right. We should stop and take a good rest so that we can better digest and transform it. Take the three major battlefields as an example. We really need to let you fellow Taoists temporarily step back and take a rest."

Zeng Wu agreed.

Following Zeng Wu's agreement, the middle and senior levels all began to speak up and agreed with the headmaster's decision.

"Thank you all for your trust. I am very grateful. Fortunately, my Confucian school has many talented people who are calm and not radical. They understand how to be inclusive and take things step by step..."

Yan Lai first thanked everyone for their support.

As mentioned before, Confucianism has retained this style. Everyone discusses together, and there is rarely a problem of one person monopolizing the final say.

"Master, please stop talking. It is shameful for us. It was the Master who reminded us in time."

Meng Qiao took the lead and became everyone's substitute.

"Okay, in that case, let's send this decision directly to the three companies. Whether they agree or not, we will do this."

Yan Lai determined the nature of the Tao.

"Yes!"

the other side……

The most brave and fearless martial arts alliance.

The discussion here is even more heated, with more than half of the people calling for war.

Fortunately, Sun Hui, Wu Gang, Guan Dao Shen Qiang and others at the top level remained calm.

"Master, the Confucian school has sent a message." Gao Jian said loudly.

It instantly suppressed everyone's discussions.

"Oh? What do the Confucians say?" Sun Hui asked, his eyes lighting up.

"This? Uh?" Gao Jian found it a little difficult to answer.

"Speak, speak boldly." Sun Hui said.

"Yes!" Gao Jian wiped his sweat and said, "The head of the Confucian sect, Yan Lai, has decided to accept defeat. In order to appease the dissatisfaction of the independent cultivators, he plans to withdraw the Confucian sect monks from the first and second battlefields, and give them all to the independent cultivators or spirit beasts, and retreat to defend and calm down."

After Gao Jian read out the Confucian school's decision, the entire Martial Arts Alliance hall fell silent.

Although they are brave warriors and good at fighting, they are not stupid.

The Martial Arts Alliance is ranked last among the four major factions, while the Confucian School is the strongest among the four.

When the strongest party makes such a decision, shouldn’t you think carefully about why?
We can’t say that Confucianists have scholarly personalities, right?
If you say that, everyone will puke in your face.

The Confucian school composed of scholars is very scary. They are everywhere and are not afraid of war at all.

It is said that scholars have powerful martial arts and no one can stop them.

Using principle in one hand and force in the other, this is the style of Confucian monks, and they have truly inherited the style of their ancestor Kong.

“Is there a detailed introduction?”

Sun Hui's expression changed.

It was very serious at the beginning, but now it has become much more relaxed.

I can only say that this news came at too timely a time, and I could hardly control my subordinates.

After all, he is a warrior and doesn't like to think much.

"There is no detailed introduction. It's all here. It just says that you are willing to accept defeat and the sedimentation and contraction will occur." Gao Jian said.

"Master, it's good that the Confucian sect told us the decision. It's human nature not to tell us the details. I guess you are willing to admit defeat because you really can't beat the Tushan Holy Mother.

Just now I heard a fellow Taoist was dissatisfied and said he wanted to take revenge. I am very curious. Who is so powerful that he can beat the Tushan Holy Mother who is at the limit of the second stage? If this fellow Taoist is so strong, please challenge me first. If I lose, you can be the deputy headmaster. "

Guan Dao spoke at this time, and had a tacit exchange with Sun Hui.

The headmaster and several top masters did not get carried away, but some high-level people did.

Good fellow, they are actually shouting for revenge, what are these people thinking? I really didn't dare to say anything casually just now, after all, the momentum was huge, and the people below were filled with righteous indignation. If I said something that belittled the Martial Arts Alliance, I would be washed away by the impulsive senior management.

Fortunately, fortunately, Rumen’s decision came just in time.

Isn’t this a major drawback of the Martial Arts Alliance?

Confucianism has its own drawbacks, so they decided to retreat and settle down. Does that mean the Martial Arts Alliance will disappear?

Not necessarily. Pride and arrogance are the biggest drawbacks.

Weakness is not an obstacle to survival, arrogance is.

Although there were also people in the Confucian School who shouted for revenge without thinking, their numbers were small, unlike the Martial Arts Alliance, which had scared Sun Hui quite a bit just now.

I haven't discovered this drawback yet, luckily.

As Guan Dao finished speaking, the Martial Arts Alliance headquarters suddenly fell silent, and the person who had been shouting just now blushed a little.

I want to slap myself a few times. They are not mentally retarded, but arrogant.

Or is it just habitual arrogance? There are actually people among the monks who are plotting against our Martial Arts Alliance?

Must come back with revenge.

They even forgot that it was the spirit beast that caused them to suffer.

I forgot that the spirit beast is not the same spirit beast as before, but the spirit beast led by the Holy Mother of Tushan.

The rules are to protect them, not the spirit animals.

"Are you ashamed, are you?"

Sharpshooter also stood up and said.

They were very worried just now, but now they are fine.

"Master, I can only say that the Confucian School is worthy of being the number one force. Not only are we inferior to them in strength, but we are also inferior in wisdom. We think of fighting and killing, while they think of calming down and advancing to retreat..."

"To be honest, fellow Taoists, I used to feel the same as you. I felt that there was no obstacle that I couldn't break through. As long as I had my fists in my hands, I could break through all obstacles. But..."

"Everyone knows what happened to me. I failed to break the weird and twisted shackles on me. I thought I could handle everything, but later I found that I couldn't do it... I was lucky to learn the method of Master Xuan... I want to say that the fists you put away are far more beneficial than the fists you throw out."

Liu Bi said.

That is Mr. Liu, who is extremely talented. He is currently at the sixth level of the middle stage of Xuanbian, and is not far from the late stage of Xuanbian.

Therefore, he became a high-ranking member of the Martial Arts Alliance.

"We really should calm down. If we are weak, we should learn from the strong. If we are stupid, we should learn from the smart. Since we are weak and stupid compared to the Confucian school, we should learn from the Confucian school. I plan to follow the decision of the Confucian school. What do you think?"

Sun Hui said so.

It seems to be a bit of a blow to one's morale, and a bit of belittling oneself while elevating Confucianism.

but!

Sun Hui finally realized that his group of warriors did not need any morale boosting or confidence boosting.

Everyone is full of confidence and morale is high.

There is no need to worry about discouraging everyone. This problem does not exist in the Martial Arts Alliance.

On the contrary, you should attack and criticize everyone when there is nothing to do.

This is the management method of the martial arts alliance.

Just like the social bullies and the social phobics, metaphorically speaking, the entire Martial Arts Alliance is made up of social bullies, the kind that are so bullish that they can’t be stopped.

They need to be put on a leash and not get out of control.

"Master, you are wise. We agree with your decision."

Whether they were silent just now or those who were shouting and calling for killing, they all agreed with Sun Hui's decision.

As for the group of people who were hinted at by Guan Dao, they did not feel awkward or embarrassed at all. They had already walked out of the scolding and seemed to have forgotten the criticism just now.

Look, this is just a bunch of warriors.

What counselling, what low spirits, what low morale, what lack of self-confidence?

None of these exist.

……

"good!"

"That's good, we'll follow."

The Taoist headquarters was very silent.

It was not the silence after an argument, but the calm silence of everyone, waiting for the decision of the headmaster Jiutong.

It is somewhat opposite to the Martial Arts Alliance.

"Amitabha, Master Yan Lai is not as good as me, I will follow the Buddhist sect."

The same situation happened with a group of big monks.

They made the same decision without much argument.

It can even be said that they want to settle down and shrink more than Yan Lai.

Due to the aftereffects of the previous lewd monk, Buddhism is still under high pressure.

No one wants to be quiet for a while more than they do.

Immorality would be just a joke to the other three families, but to them, it was a devastating blow.

Reform, reform, reform is necessary.

This is the common call of the Buddhist leaders, and this situation must be reformed.

Buddhism must keep pace with the times and balance the weight of lay disciples and novice disciples.

We need to open the door to wedding customs and not allow this to continue.

Every time people say that it is unproductive and that it will be extinct, which is not conducive to the current cruel environment of mankind.

Every time someone says this to them, they can't find a reason to refute it.

It is possible to change from being unproductive to working and supporting oneself. Buddhism has already started this a long time ago and is currently doing very well.

It is no longer the Buddhist sect that does not engage in production.

But it is really hard to change when people say that it goes against the current human situation.

It would take several times the effort of the other three companies to get the same praise.

In short, the Big Four have made the decision to strategically retreat and make concessions.

When this news spread, the independent cultivators were a little confused.

Is this still the domineering Big Four?
And some people, like No. 8 Middle School, are a little panicked.

You don't really think that they didn't add fuel to the fire?

It's impossible. The spiritual beasts' ability to spread the news is just so-so. The eight great forces are the key.

They took action to spread the message more widely for the spirit beasts, which was the key to the simultaneous appearance of the two pieces of news.

Don’t you know the Big Four?

Of course I know, but I don't care.

We can settle the accounts later, now is not the time.

Now is the time to give in to calm the storm, and I can also use this period of time to calm down.

"We won't be discovered, will we?"

One of the eight people who spread the news said in horror.

"They are not stupid, they must have figured it out, but what good can it do? At least our plan succeeded and hindered the development of the Big Four, that's enough."

"That's true. Our mission is accomplished. As for the revenge of the Big Four, that is in the future. Who can predict what will happen in the future? Besides, aren't we also the target of the Big Four's suppression? It seems that the independent cultivators have suffered, but are we immune?"

"Yes, the third battlefield was hosted by our Eighth Middle School and the World of Gods and Demons. We suffered the most."
