The crowd on the scene looked at each other, not a single person made a move for the time being.
Sect Master Ling’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, he suddenly stepped forward and said aloud, "Alliance Leader Su, since you are so obstinately unreasonable, then Ling Mou can’t be blamed. I must consider the entire sect, the foundation of hundreds of years of our sect must not be destroyed here, I hope Alliance Leader Su understands my actions!"
"No harm done!" Su Yang said with a light smile and a nod, "Sect Master Ling, please feel free to do as you wish. Of course, if there are others who share the same thoughts as Sect Master Ling, they may also leave. Those who stay are willing to share life and death with the Divine Physicians Alliance!"
The people once again exchanged glances, yet after a long time, none of them backed down.
The Hua Tuo Sect Leader directly stated, "Alliance Leader Su, we are willing to share our fate with the Divine Physicians Alliance. Even if we all die in battle here, we will never surrender!"
No sooner had he said this than many others echoed his statement, supporting Su Yang. After all, the sects present had been humiliated by those people, suffering great losses, and naturally did not wish to give up just yet.
Sect Master Ling beside them trembled with anger. He thought that after all his talk, he had managed to scare these people. But unexpectedly, not a single person was persuaded, and it was only him who had dropped out of the Divine Physicians Alliance.
Su Yang nodded with satisfaction and said softly, "Thanks for your profound affection, everyone. Su Mou also makes a promise here to all of you. As long as I am alive, they shall not even dream of killing anyone here!"
The crowd shouted in unison, the scene heating up with enthusiasm.
Sect Master Ling’s face was cold, and at this moment, Su Yang’s gaze also happened to turn towards him.
"Sect Master Ling, it looks like your sect is the only one leaving." Su Yang said softly, "However, there is something I must remind you!"
Sect Master Ling frowned but still said, "Please speak, Alliance Leader Su."
"I know you have come to plead on behalf of the Wan Family, hoping to take some sects away without bloodshed and dissolve the strength of the Divine Physicians Alliance," Su Yang said softly.
Sect Master Ling’s expression changed, what Su Yang had said was not false at all. However, only he and a few key members within his sect knew about this matter. How could Su Yang possibly know?
What he didn’t realize was that Su Yang had seen it through the use of the Soul Searching Technique on his son. His son had not yet reached the Integration Realm, so Su Yang could easily see his thoughts.
"You don’t have to be afraid, since I have already said I will let you leave, I will definitely not make a move against you at this time!" Su Yang said, "Everyone has their own aspirations, and I don’t deny that. It’s normal for you to want to leave and save your own lives in the face of such a crisis in the Divine Physicians Alliance, and I will not stop you."
Sect Master Ling heaved a sigh of relief and bowed, "Thank you, Alliance Leader Su!"
"No need to thank me!" Su Yang said, "But, I do have to warn you. You can leave the Divine Physicians Alliance, but if you join those family forces and counterattack the Divine Physicians Alliance, then I will not be polite to you. Because once you leave here, you have no relation with the Divine Physicians Alliance. And if you were to counterattack us, that means you are our enemy, and we are not merciful towards our enemies. Do you understand what I mean?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ⓝovelFire.net
Sect Master Ling’s face turned slightly chilly, but he still nodded slowly, "I understand!"
"Good that you understand!" Su Yang waved his hand and said, "Sect Master Ling, I guess there’s no need for me to see you out, right?"
Sect Master Ling clenched his teeth and, without a word, led his sect members away indignantly.
As the people of the Divine Physicians Alliance watched them leave, someone finally couldn’t hold back anymore, "Alliance Leader Su, why did you let those people go? They were patrons for the Wan Family, forcing us to compromise, which is practically colluding with outsiders to deal with our Divine Physicians Alliance!"
Su Yang smiled and said, "In the face of a great enemy and imminent crisis, it is normal for them to have their own thoughts. They chose to leave to protect their sect, and it’s not such a grave mistake that we must relentlessly pursue and kill."
The crowd exchanged glances, some feeling unreconciled, but in the end, they fell silent. Indeed, as Su Yang had said, a relentless pursuit would only show that they lacked magnanimity.
"Master Su, then how should we deal with this situation?" A man asked worriedly.
"Everyone, rest assured, it is time to reorganize the Southern Six Provinces!" Su Yang said with a smile.
"Ah?" Everyone was astonished. What did Su Yang mean by that? Reorganize the Southern Six Provinces, was he really thinking that big?
Just then, Jeang Zier hurriedly came over and whispered, "Master Su, there has been trouble."
"What happened?" Su Yang asked.
Jeang Zier said, "The people we sent to bring back the Back to Heaven Sect have met up with them. However, they were pursued by the Nie Family’s people when they reached Yundu Mountain, 130 miles from here. Our forces have been forced into a canyon on Yundu Mountain, relying on the treacherous terrain to temporarily block the Nie Family’s pursuit. But they can’t hold on for much longer, just now, someone from the Divine Farmer Sect risked his life to climb the mountain and was able to send back a message with a signal."
As soon as she finished speaking, the people below started to make an uproar. The surviving members of the Back to Heaven Sect were few, and if they were directly intercepted by the Nie Family’s people, what would become of them?
"Alliance Leader Su, shall we gather people and rush over now!" One sect leader said loudly.
"Yes, there aren’t many left from the Back to Heaven Sect. If they are captured, it will be troublesome!"
"But, 130 miles away, even if we rush there now, it will take us at least an hour. By the time we get there, it might already be too late!"
The crowd discussed anxiously. They were extremely concerned, yet they seemed to be out of options.
Su Yang was calm; he stood up and said in a cold voice, "Ping’an!"
Zhao Ping’an immediately stood up and bowed, "Master!"
"I’ll make a trip to Yundu Mountain. Guard the Divine Physicians Alliance in my absence!"
"Yes, Master!" Zhao Ping’an replied obediently.
"Gentlemen, I’ll be back shortly!" Su Yang called out loudly, stepping outside where the Nine Cold Jade Sword soared into the sky. Su Yang leapt up and flew on the sword, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
When the people in the hall ran out, Su Yang was already gone. Everyone on site was dumbfounded, such swordsmanship, it truly seemed the handiwork of an Immortal!
"Master Su’s supernatural abilities are truly awe-inspiring!" a sect leader exclaimed.
"With Master Su’s age and such heaven-defying cultivation, given time, he will surely become a Terrestrial Immortal. Our Divine Physicians Alliance will finally have a Terrestrial Immortal to rely on!"
The people commented with admiration, their own sects once having Terrestrial Immortals. But now, they had all fallen from grace. If they could have a Terrestrial Immortal to guard them again, the entire Divine Physicians Alliance would rise to prominence once more!
