BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2188 - 2188: About the Undead Race 5
They were gathered to discuss the forthcoming arrangements.
Now, with the absence of Pei Yueling, daughter of the Grand Unity Sect’s leader, Mr. Head, who possessed the Chaotic Spiritual Root, the responsibility of organizing the arrangements fell upon her shoulders. The Supreme Sect, much like the other sects, would simply adhere to her decisions.
Elder Lin remained silent throughout.
Upon her approval of the proposal, Pei Yueling wasted no time in formulating plan.
Taking her seat at the head of the gathering, she began, “Thousands of years ago, Xuhai City fell under the dominion of the Undead Race. With the uncertainty surrounding their numbers and the possibility of revival after they’ve slain numerous disciples of our sects, we must take precautions.”
Silence followed.
“Just to be safe, we should dispatch as many disciples as possible. You have 400 inner sect disciples and 600 outer sect disciples, led by two Elder Men.
Meanwhile, the Grand Unity Sect will contribute 1,000 inner sect disciples and 1,500 outer sect disciples, led by three Elder Men, including myself. What are your thoughts?”
Another pause ensued.
“We cannot afford any mishaps during the extermination of the Undead Race in Xuhai City,” Pei Yueling pressed.
The Elder Men exchanged uneasy glances.
Their discomfort was evident.
Two sects collaborating with their Elder Men posed no issue, but the inclusion of 400 inner sect disciples was a daunting proposition. For instance, the Fengyue Sect only boasted 1,500 inner sect disciples, and sending one-third of their inner sect disciples to this mission seemed excessive.
The potential for accidents among the inner sect disciples was a cause for concern. The prospect of both inner and outer sect disciples leaving in such numbers would severely deplete the Fengyue Sect’s ranks. What if..
Pei Yueling’s tone turned bitter as she challenged, “With 1,000 inner sect disciples at our disposal, what is there to worry about?” She fixed her gaze upon the Elder Men.
“Very well, we are in agreement, ” affirmed the Moon Sect.
The Moon Sect’s Elder Man had contemplated this matter in advance. They had already consented to the arrangement, and even if it didn’t gain favor with the major sects, the reduction would only amount to a hundred individuals.
The Grand Unity Sect had taken excellent care of the Moon Sect, showering them with numerous benefits. By being the first to commit, the Elder Man aimed to keep Pei Yueling content with the Moon Sect’s cooperation. If Moon
Sect’s value could be recognized through this, it would be a favorable outcome.
Thus, they concurred.
Pei Yueling’s smile briefly flickered, her satisfaction evident with how the Moon Sect had conducted itself.
The Moon Sect had already given its consent, and the other sects, sooner or later, followed suit without hesitation.
However, Elder Lin wore a perplexed expression.
In theory, having Pei Yueling as the leader of the Grand Unity Sect should have been advantageous. Nevertheless, he couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something was amiss with the arrangement.
Wasn’t the number of disciples too excessive?
While Elder Lin hesitated, Pei Yueling turned her gaze towards him and inquired, “What is the Supreme Sect’s proposed course of action? This is what you all have agreed upon.”
“Originally, the Supreme Sect should have been able to accommodate more participants, but given the current state of our sect, I refrained from making such a request,” she continued..
