In a huge meeting hall at Phoenix Villa, dozens or even hundreds of family elders sat inside, their faces filled with anger.
"Master, how can we have a truce now? When the ancestor comes out of seclusion, we will directly destroy the Soul Realm.
This evil force that appeared out of nowhere has been hiding near us, plotting against us secretly, and even instigated our 17 vassal forces to rebel. They are truly despicable.
What qualifications do they have to claim that they are the Fifth Holy Land? We have never launched our strongest force to attack them before. Patriarch, didn’t you say that we should deliberately create the illusion of being evenly matched, wait for the ancestor to come out of seclusion, kill their so-called soul master first, and then launch the strongest offensive to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop
Why are we declaring a ceasefire now? Why haven't the other three companies expressed their views? They have even tacitly acknowledged their existence!"
An old man roared at the owner of Phoenix Villa who was sitting in the main seat, his eyes full of questioning.
Feng Tianlai, the master of Phoenix Villa, had his pair of red eyebrows furrowed into a ball, but there was some helplessness in his eyes.
He glanced at the old man who had just asked the question, then looked at the indignant elders, and waved his hand gently, signaling everyone not to speak for the time being.
Feng Tianlai still had enough prestige in the family. The elders around him immediately quieted down, suppressed their anger, and looked at Feng Tianlai.
With a light sigh, Feng Tianlai said: "I also want to rush to the main hall of the Soul Realm right now and kill those bastards.
However, there is one thing that I have been hiding from you all this time because I am afraid that if it gets out, it will affect the reputation of my Feng family in the world.
Now listen carefully. I can tell you this, but after you walk out of this door, you must forget everything about it and forbid anyone to tell it to anyone.
Once I hear any news outside, I will definitely trace the source. If I find out who leaked it, I will immediately expel him from the elders. "
As he spoke, Feng Tianlai's eyes became stern, as if a huge phoenix suddenly appeared in the room, blazing and majestic.
When the elders saw Feng Tianlai's appearance, they knew that the matter was of great importance. At this time, most of them restrained their emotions and waited with serious faces for what Feng Tianlai would say next.
Feng Tianlai glanced at everyone and said, "The ancestor has actually come out of seclusion. He and I have been to the Soul Domain Main Altar, and the ancestors of the other three families also went with us.
After we arrived at the Soul Realm, the ancestor challenged the Soul Realm's number one expert to a duel, hoping to test the other party's strength.
If the opponent is not strong enough, the ancestor will take action to kill the opponent directly and eliminate their arrogance.
After that, launch a general attack and destroy the Soul Realm in one fell swoop.
However, the final outcome of the battle was beyond my expectations. After this battle, the person who was injured was not the opponent, but the ancestor!"
When he said this, the elders around him had already widened their eyes, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"How is it possible, the ancestor was defeated!
The ancestor is a talisman saint who has comprehended a thousand rules of the great way of heaven and earth. He is one of the four strongest people in the world, along with the Lotus ancestor of Prajna Mountain, the Saint Emperor ancestor of Emperor City, and the Cold Evil ancestor of the Great Snow Mountain Divine Sect. How could he be defeated by the other party! ? "
The elder who had just spoken opened his eyes wide and began to speak.
To him, this was something that was simply impossible and completely overturned his common sense.
Feng Tianlai took a deep breath, exhaled, and said, "It is indeed true, the ancestor was indeed defeated by the opponent that day, and was seriously injured.
The other party is also a Talisman Saint. According to the ancestor, the other party has comprehended more rules of the universe and the earth than him, and is even stronger than him.
He was a little careless at the time. He didn't expect that another Talisman Saint would suddenly appear in this world. He was injured because he was not careful. Otherwise, he would not have lost so badly.
After seeing the opponent's strength, the Great Snow Mountain Divine Sect was the first to give up the plan to be enemies with the other three ancestors. They were not on good terms with us, so naturally they would not be willing to help us.
The reason why we went to the other party's headquarters was just to use our hands to see the other party's strengths and weaknesses.
The people of Prajna Mountain have never liked fighting. After seriously injuring the ancestor, the other party wanted to kill him, but was stopped by the Lotus Ancestor and did not succeed.
However, Patriarch Lotus had no intention of becoming an enemy of the other party. Instead, he accepted the other party as the fifth holy land.
The attitude of the Imperial City is very unclear. It is hard to tell whether they like it or not. This is consistent with their usual style of doing things. As long as the other party does not affect their interests, they will never say anything.
It was after this battle that I realized that this soul realm was definitely not simple. On the surface, its strength seemed weaker than ours, but in fact it might be hiding enormous power.
If we rashly launch a full-scale attack, we may be ambushed by the enemy and suffer huge losses. The seventeen forces that were turned against us are nothing. If the family is willing, more forces will attach themselves to us. We are not short of vassals.
However, if the core fighting force of the family is calculated by others and a large number of members are reduced, then for us, it will be a loss that outweighs the gain."
After hearing Feng Tianlai's words, the conference hall became quiet. All the elders fell silent, each of them looked thoughtful, and could not utter a word for a long time.
After all, this truth that overturned their common sense made it difficult for them to accept it for a while, and their thoughts were in a mess.
Feng Tian came to look at them and said, "My mood that day was the same as yours. I was even more shocked and unbelievable than you.
But this is the fact. After returning, the ancestor went into seclusion again to heal his injuries.
Before we went in, he also told me to control our emotions and not to act rashly, or else there would be losses. "
After hearing Feng Tianlai's words, the eyes of the elders finally returned to normal. After looking at each other, their fighting spirit subsided a lot.
The elder who had spoken earlier was still a little unwilling and said, "Master, are we going to let this matter go? Are we going to swallow this anger?"
Feng Tianlai thought about it, a gleam in his eyes, and said: "No, we can't just swallow this anger, but we can't act too hastily either.
What we need to do next is to prepare for a protracted war. We must first understand clearly who our enemies are.
Where on earth did these people come from and how did they suddenly possess such powerful strength
Before they plotted against us, they must have fully understood our strength and made plans for our possible actions. If we act impulsively now, we will only fall into their trap and suffer losses in vain."
