Chapter 660 - 760: To Save or Not to Save?
"If you think you can take this opportunity to wipe out the entire Demon Sect, then you're gravely mistaken. Since that organization's people attacked both us and the Demon Sect at the same time, it means the Demon Sect poses some kind of threat to them. If the Demon Sect weren't a threat, they would have wiped them out just like they did to the Celestial Fragrance Sect, without giving the Demon Sect a chance to send a distress signal to us allies. Do you understand? This means the Demon Sect has something akin to our Five-Colored Divine Phoenix or the Evil Daffodil, something filled with the Power of Purification," said the Taichu Real Person solemnly.
"Do you know what this means?" the Taichu Real Person asked.
Zhen Chu Real Person was bewildered by the reprimand and instinctively replied, "What does it mean?"
"It means, besides the Evil Daffodil, we have something else that can hurt that organization, giving us more hope, understand?" said the Taichu Real Person with some irritation. "I don't want to hear anyone saying such treacherous things anymore, understand? Now we are allied with the Demon Sect. Although we were deadly enemies before, we are now an alliance, an Avengers Alliance against that organization. What should we do now? We should work together to eradicate that organization. The grievances between us and the Demon Sect will be dealt with later. It's no longer about the grudges between us and the Demon Sect, but between the entire cultivation world and that organization. We shouldn't bring personal feelings into this war. If we want to win this war, we have to use all the forces we can to truly destroy that organization. Only then can we welcome a beautiful peace, and only then can we safely confront the Demon Sect after this organization is destroyed."
Everyone nodded at Taichu Real Person's words, though it's hard to know what they truly thought, as this is really not the time to bring personal grudges into the alliance. Additionally, a 500-year-old alliance that hasn't been reformed yet, surely hasn't integrated well. If personal grievances arise now, it's almost certain those grievances could lead to the dissolution of this newly formed Avengers Alliance.
However, everyone felt that even though Taichu Real Person spoke a lot, there was no specific talk about whether to rescue, or how to rescue. It seems the Taichu Real Person is trying to be sly. Everyone can talk about principles, but you have to act them out.
In fact, the Taichu Real Person was also hesitating at the moment. He wasn't torn between rescuing or not rescuing, but if rescuing, should it be a full rescue or just a show? After all, it's unwise to put the Taichu Sect at risk for saving the Demon Sect.
Besides, there's another point: the Demon Sect probably has something with the Power of Purification, and this is their hope against that organization. So, Taichu Real Person is pondering whether to inform the Demon Sect about this. Then, they wouldn't have to go. If the Demon Sect hasn't figured it out, they'd go to aid them. However, Taichu Real Person really couldn't figure out what the Demon Sect had that could threaten that organization's members. If there were any Magical Treasure or item filled with the Power of Purification, it would greatly restrain the disciples cultivating Demonic Qi. Simply put, it's like the disciples on Taihuofeng, who all cultivate fire attribute Immortal Techniques, but Taihuofeng treasures a water attribute Magical Treasure. Even if they can't use it, just having it would weaken their techniques or even render them unusable, akin to this situation.
Moreover, the rightful path and the Demon Sect have been at odds for so long and never have they shown something filled with the Power of Purification. Perhaps it's because rightful path people don't value the Power of Purification; using it would suppress their Demonic Qi themselves. But before the Demon Sect was formed, Taichu Real Person had never heard of any Demon Sect faction obtaining this Power of Purification item.
Perhaps, just like the Five-Colored Divine Phoenix of Taichu Sect, they never disclosed it to anyone. But if so, why would that organization's people know? The Zen Sect never told Taichu Sect about the Evil Daffodil, but Taichu Sect still learned about its existence through indirect means. So, maybe first speak to the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji and see what it really is? After all, this item is crucial for dealing with that organization.
Thinking of this, Taichu Real Person said to everyone, "I will first speak to the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji and ask what it really is since it's vital for our entire cultivation world to deal with that organization. After all, only something filled with the Power of Purification can truly harm that organization's people. Otherwise, we don't have other means to truly harm them at present."
"Sect Leader Brother, if possible, ask the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji if they could share the item. Sharing it would increase our chances against that organization, even if we return it to the Demon Sect after use like the Zen Sect did. We're not the type to covet such items," said Yuan Chu Real Person.
"Right, Sect Leader Brother, see if they would share the item. If not, then let the Demon Sect bear the brunt of the attack. After all, we cannot inflict any real harm on that organization's people. Only something filled with the Power of Purification can truly harm them."
"Yeah! Yeah! If they don't share it, then let them take the lead, since by then, the unknown item in the Demon Sect's hands can truly harm that organization's members."
"This is for the whole world. If the Demon Sect understands the gravity of the situation, they are worthy people. If not, let them take the lead."
"Exactly! Exactly!"
Zhen Chu Real Person watched this scene and thought to himself, it's best not to share that item, and let them take the lead. It's better to lose Demon Sect members than righteous ones, after all, Demon Sect members aren't worth much. Losing them doesn't cost much, while every loss of a righteous person is a huge loss to the world, and every Demon Sect loss benefits the world, while one more living Demon Sect member is a huge detriment.
Why does Zhen Chu Real Person hold such a grudge against the Demon Sect?
