Should the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect save face? Everyone certainly wants to.
But he was very uncomfortable with what Spirit Hall had done before, so he intentionally overlooked it.
Now that someone brought it up, he didn't really want to respond.
At this moment, an Elder, after some thought, said,
"Sect Master Ning, you should go and coordinate with Spirit Hall and have them send a team over as well."
Sect Master Ning's expression was a bit unsightly. Whoever went to do such a thing would be cursed to death, so how could he possibly do it?
So, he pointed at an Elder and said,
"You go and coordinate with Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, that Elder's face turned pale with fear, clearly terrified of the consequences of interacting with Spirit Hall. He quickly said,
"Sect Master Ning, I am not qualified enough. Moreover, we just fought a war with Spirit Hall. If I go to make contact, my status as an Elder will probably be ruined."
Sect Master Ning snorted. If no one wanted to go, then no one would go.
Then he gave up and said,
"Whoever wants to go, goes."
The three senior Elders looked at each other, their faces showing a hint of displeasure.
Then, one of the senior Elders stepped forward and said,
"Since no one wants to go, let's vote. Whoever gets the most votes goes."
The senior Elder beside him quickly said,
"Okay, that's fairer."
The faces of the Elders below changed drastically. They were clearly afraid of being sent, knowing the dire consequences.
But they also knew that, under normal circumstances, Spirit Hall still needed to be invited.
After all, Spirit Hall was the leader of this World.
So one of the Elders said,
"Alright, let's do it this way!"
Sect Master Ning thought for a moment that this was indeed fairer, so he said,
"Okay, how about I cast my vote first?"
A senior Elder nodded and said,
"Okay, Sect Master Ning, you go first!"
Sect Master Ning nodded, pointed at the Elder who had just proposed this suggestion, and said,
"It's you. Whoever agrees, raise your hand."
That Elder's face instantly turned ashen, clearly startled. He quickly declined, saying,
"No, my ability is insufficient; I cannot handle such an important matter."
Sect Master Ning snorted. No one else had spoken, but you did, so you should bear the responsibility.
Then he raised his hand.
Afterward, some Elders followed suit and raised their hands. After all, as long as it wasn't them, everyone was happy.
But the three senior Elders did not raise their hands.
Those who had raised their hands slowly lowered them.
Clearly, everyone was acting according to the expressions of the three senior Elders.
Sect Master Ning's expression changed slightly. He had an ominous feeling; perhaps things were about to go wrong.
At this moment, a senior Elder smiled and said,
"Sect Master Ning, one vote is not enough. Can I cast a vote for someone next?"
Sect Master Ning nodded. Since everyone had set the rules, he would still abide by them.
"Alright, please cast your vote for someone."
This senior Elder pointed at Sect Master Ning and said,
"Sect Master Ning represents the face of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so it's better if Sect Master Ning goes."
Sect Master Ning's heart sank. Sure enough, his worst fear had come true. At this moment, he was hoping that the other two senior Elders would not vote for him, or else it would be bad.
At this moment, the two senior Elders on either side looked at each other, a smug smile appearing at the corners of their mouths. Clearly, through eye contact, they had reached an agreement.
So, another senior Elder said,
"I also feel this is feasible. After all, as the Sect Master, one must uphold the dignity of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
The third senior Elder also raised his hand and said,
"Indeed, it is feasible."
When the three senior Elders raised their hands, the surrounding Elders also raised their hands one after another.
After all, when the leaders spoke, how could these people dare to resist?
After all, as long as it wasn't them going, everything was fine.
Under these circumstances, Sect Master Ning's expression became grim. This situation was almost like a betrayal.
It also told him whose words held more weight within this Sect.
But as a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he reluctantly agreed, as he had already agreed to play this game.
So he said,
"Alright, I'll go."
The atmosphere in the room, unconsciously, became cheerful again. Clearly, everyone was very happy that they didn't have to coordinate with Spirit Hall.
Afterward, everyone began to discuss another important matter: what form the competition would take.
Arena battles, Spirit Beast hunting in the Star Dou Great Forest, and concealed space contention each had their own characteristics.
One of the Elders said,
"What about an arena battle?"
Another Elder shook his head and said,
"No, the Clear Sky Sect used arena battles before. The Soul Masters of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whose Spirits are powerful auxiliary Spirits, have a huge attack gap compared to the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit of the Clear Sky Sect and the Tyrant Dragon Spirit of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
Sect Master Ning sighed. This was indeed true. In the Upper Three Sects Soul Master Tournament, the Spirits of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples were indeed inferior in attack power to the other two Upper Three Sects.
Both the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit and the Tyrant Dragon Spirit were more offensive than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit.
But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit also had its own advantages, which was all-around assistance.
That person certainly couldn't participate in such an arena battle, so he said,
"Arena battles are out of the question. Let's consider hunting Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Forest and concealed space contention."
A senior Elder nodded and said,
"Sect Master Ning makes sense. Arena battles are out."
Another senior Elder said,
"What about hunting Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Forest?"
The third senior Elder shook his head and said,
"Not quite. The Star Dou Great Forest is Spirit Hall's territory. Normally, we could borrow it, but there's a problem now: Spirit Hall lost this encirclement, so they're inevitably uncomfortable. If they use some tricks during the competition, then our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda won't be able to get first place."
The Elders below also started discussing among themselves.
One of the Elders said,
"That makes sense. We've killed many Soul Masters from Spirit Hall during this period. If Spirit Hall makes a move in the Star Dou Great Forest, it would be too easy."
Another Elder also echoed, saying,
"That's right. After all, we even killed a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall. It's inevitable that the other party would be displeased."
Sect Master Ning listened and felt it made sense. After all, Spirit Hall's Lone Wolf Douluo, this Titled Douluo, was killed by Sword Douluo.
It would be very abnormal if Spirit Hall didn't resent it, as cultivating a Titled Douluo was extremely difficult.
Then he said helplessly,
"It seems we can only use concealed space contention."
