Chapter 1488 - Threats
The tall and st.u.r.dy old man"s face twisted, two bell-like eyes stared straight at him, "If the Void Zen Sect were to covet our Pill Sun Sect"s pill cultivating techniques, they would have made their move three thousand years ago, would they still need to wait until now? "Zuo Yi, the Dan Yang Sect is everyone"s Dan Yang Sect, not yours alone!"
Just like the tall and skinny old man, the tall and st.u.r.dy old man called out the Sect Leader"s name, gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth while waiting for Zuo Yi, "At such a time, you"re still holding onto that "Emperor Spiritual Immortal Pill". If the Sect of Danyang were to be destroyed by the Void Zen Sect today, you would be the main culprit."
"Elder Fu is right, Sect Leader, hand over the "Di Ling Immortal Pill"!"
"An Immortal"s pill is rare, but it"s impossible to refine. It"s no different from trash. If we keep it to ourselves, it"ll give our sect a chance to live."
"Zuo Yi, I know what you"re thinking." Do you think that the Void Zen Sect will kill everyone after giving the "Emperor Spiritual Immortal Pill" to them, so that the news won"t leak out? "There is indeed such a possibility, but if you don"t even try, how would you know that those people from the Void Zen Sect won"t keep their promise?"
"..."
The remaining tens of elders were talking back and forth, either shouting angrily with ugly faces and fiendish expressions, or persuading him to reason and be sentimental.
Zuo Yi"s expression was wooden and there was an indescribable tiredness between his brows.
This kind of scene had already played out many times over the past few days.
The elders were all talking about preserving the legacy for three thousand years, not letting the Sect of Danyang be destroyed. To put it bluntly, it was nothing more than the word "afraid of death". However, this was human nature. After all, life and death were at stake, and he couldn"t ask everyone in the Sect to be like him, the Sect Leader.
When the noise died down, Zuo Yi took a light breath and spoke in a deep voice, "Elders, there is no need to say anymore. There is no such thing as an "Emperor Spiritual Immortal Pill". If you don"t believe me, you can search around in any area of the sect. "
The tall and skinny old man and the others immediately became angry. The palace descended into a deathly silence as an extremely oppressive aura lingered in the air. They had already searched the entire sect over and over. If they had any gains, they wouldn"t have forced Zuo Yi again and again.
Suddenly, the tall and skinny old man"s face darkened as he angrily said: "Zuo Yi, do you really think that we don"t dare to kill you?"
"Dying in your hands is still better than dying in the hands of those people from the Void Zen Sect." Zuo Yi looked at the crowd, sighed, and showed a relieved smile.
"You …"
The tall and skinny old man and the others were once again angry.
In the entire Dan Yang Sect, if anyone knew where the "Emperor Spiritual Immortal Pill" was located, it would belong to none other than the Sect Leader, Zuo Yi. If Zuo Yi died, then there would be no hope at all. If they couldn"t get the immortal pills, then the Void Zen Sect would definitely not let them go.
However, Zuo Yi refused to budge. No matter how they tried to persuade or threaten him these past few days, Zuo Yi never relented. It made them both angry and discouraged.
"Eh? Who"s that?"
After a while, a low and deep voice suddenly broke the silence of the area, and finally, someone noticed the Tang Huan who was lying on the ground behind Zuo Yi.
Upon hearing this, many people immediately looked over.
"This old man will take a look!"
One of the Black Costume Old Man snorted coldly, and shot forward explosively.
When Zuo Yi saw this, he subconsciously stretched out his arm, wanting to stop them, but the words were just about to reach his mouth when he swallowed them back. The senior on the ground was a half-dead person, if they wanted to see, then they would see that if he showed too much concern, then they might suspect that it would have the opposite effect.
"No Dao Soul?"
After searching for a bit, Black Costume Old Man was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. "Looks like my Nascent Soul was shattered, tsk tsk, this injury is really severe! "However, it was a bit strange that she didn"t die immediately after her Dao Nascent Soul shattered …"
With that, the Black Costume Old Man seemed to have thought of something, and frowned in surprise, "This person looks very unfamiliar, there are thousands of people in the Sect. Even if this old man can"t call all of them by their names, I have more or less met them a few times, but this old man has never seen him before."
"Sovereign, who is he?" After a slight pause, the Black Costume Old Man turned to look at Zuo Yi.
"Er, this senior is..."
Zuo Yi hesitated slightly. He couldn"t say that this person appeared out of thin air on the altar, so not many people would believe his words.
"Senior?"
Catching Zuo Yi"s hesitation, a ferocious smile suddenly surfaced on the Black Costume Old Man"s face. "Sect Leader, this senior probably has a deep relations.h.i.+p with you? Otherwise, you wouldn"t have kept him in the sect! If that"s the case, then things will be much easier. Hand over the "Di Ling Immortal Pill", or else, this old man will kill him now! " After he finished speaking, Black Costume Old Man"s right palm was already pressed down on top of Tang Huan"s head.
When the surrounding elders heard this, their eyes all lit up. If this injured person really had a deep relations.h.i.+p with Zuo Yi, perhaps they could use him to force him to hand over the immortal pills.
"Elder Hu, don"t go too far!" Anger loomed between Zuo Yi"s brows.
"Is this old man going too far, or are you going too far?"
The Black Costume Old Man sneered, "You didn"t feel bad pulling thousands of people from the sect to accompany you to die just for a single "Celestial Emperor Pill" that you don"t need? "Zuo Yi, I don"t want to waste my breath on you anymore. Either hand over the Diremonster Immortal Pill, or I"ll kill this person."
Zuo Yi"s eyes flashed with guilt. If there really was a way to save the sect, he wouldn"t hesitate to give up his life. However, the problem now was that there was no way for the Sect to continue existing. No one knew what methods the Void Zen Sect used to seal the sect"s encampment, but they couldn"t even send out any messages. If the news of the "Celestial Emperor Pill" were to spread out, it would definitely attract many powerful sects.
In this way, the threat of the Void Zen Sect was not worth mentioning. Since this news had been leaked, those powerful sects did not need to kill them to keep their mouths shut. That way, the Pill Sun Sect would have a chance of survival. It was a pity that the information couldn"t be sent out. This kind of method was impossible to implement.
"Elder Hu, this senior and I have never met before. Ten days ago, I saw this senior heavily injured at the foot of the mountain and couldn"t bear it anymore. That"s why I brought him back. It is useless for you to use this senior to threaten me." Zuo Yi sighed and spoke in a deep voice, "Moreover, without the "Emperor Spiritual Immortal Pills", there will be no "Emperor Spiritual Immortal Pills". Even if you kill this senior, I won"t be able to take out a single immortal pill. "
"You …"
Black Costume Old Man"s face was gloomy, the other elders" expressions were gloomy too.
Everyone believed about seventy to eighty percent of what Zuo Yi had just said. After all, Zuo Yi had stayed in the Sect for so many years. It was impossible for everyone to not know if he had any deep connections with people he knew. But believing was one thing, accepting was another.
"Very good, since he has no relations.h.i.+p with you, then this old man will help him get out of this predicament!"
After a moment, the Black Costume Old Man laughed sinisterly, and his right palm dropped.
