603: Chapter 603 The Elders of Various Families Arguing with Each Other
Soon, many Old Ancestors of the families were moved, and their breathing became rapid.
If their dozens of families truly united, their strength would certainly be extraordinary!
Compared to the Old Ancestors of some families who were moved, many others remained very calm, not tempted at all, and instead shook their heads:
"But if we do this, will it arouse the vigilance of the Ten Great Holy Lands and those Central Region Sects?"
"After all, there has never been so many families united together. If we suddenly unite, what if we face suppression from the Ten Great Holy Lands and the Central Region Sects?"
"What are you afraid of? With dozens of families and so many people, why should we fear them?"
"That's right! Just do it! Could it be that the Ten Great Holy Lands would send a Mahayana Realm Grand Elder to directly take action against us? Impossible!"
...
Soon, the Old Ancestors of the various families voiced their respective proposals, and the sound of arguments rose and fell.
The entire hall instantly fell into a mess.
Several Old Ancestors from Second-rate Families argued until they were red in the face.
Especially several Old Ancestors of families that usually had some grudges; if they hadn't been mindful of being on the Xu Family's territory, they would have almost started fighting directly.
At this time, Xu Ze, who was in the middle of the hall, saw this and didn't care at all, as if the noise in the hall had nothing to do with him.
He gripped his Dragon-Head Staff, turned to walk a few steps, and sat directly on the Spiritual Chair behind him, looking with a face full of smiles at the many Old Ancestors of the families discussing intensely not far away, refusing to yield to each other.
His heart was filled with disdain.
Discuss! Just keep discussing!
No matter what result you discuss, it doesn't matter!
After all, there is only one result...
Thinking of this, a cold glint appeared in Xu Ze's eyes, and then it vanished.
A moment later, the discussions of the Old Ancestors of the various families gradually subsided.
At this moment, Elder of the Duan Family, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said in a heavy voice:
"Old Ancestor of the Xu Family, your Xu Family... whatever good plan you have, just say it directly! Since you invited us here, you must have a good plan!"
"I have no interest in listening to so many people arguing all the time. Speak up quickly!"
"That's right, Brother Xu, there are dozens of families present. If we continue to discuss like this, we won't reach any result even after another month!"
"And you have always been incredibly wise; you must already have a very mature plan! Tell us quickly! Stop keeping us in suspense!"
Zhou Hengwei also nodded and echoed in a gentle tone.
As the two Old Ancestors of the First-rate Families spoke, the Old Ancestors of other Second-rate Families also agreed, saying:
"Yes, Senior Xu, please speak!"
"Senior Xu is highly respected; the method you've come up with must be a good one!"
"No matter what the plan is, our Yan Family will cooperate fully!"
...
Seeing everyone's excitement, Xu Ze said loudly:
"Fellow Daoists, you really flatter me, but I do indeed have a very good plan!"
He paused, then gripped his Dragon-Head Staff and stood up again, saying loudly:
"This plan is very simple. It's what you mentioned at the beginning—all dozens of families present will unite! Together, we will resist the future turmoil in the Central Region."
"To this end, I have gathered you all here to discuss the matter of our dozens of families uniting with each other!"
"As expected, I was right! Senior Xu suddenly gathered us here because he hopes our dozens of families will form an alliance!"
"These are extraordinary times, and we cannot worry about arousing the wariness of the Holy Lands and Sects. I support this plan!"
"Me too! I also support this plan!"
...
After the Old Ancestors of the Second-rate Families hesitated for a moment, most of them spoke in agreement.
"Our Duan Family also agrees. But who will be the Alliance Leader? With dozens of families forming an alliance, we can't be like a leaderless host or a heap of loose sand! How else can we resist the turmoil in the Central Region?"
Elder of the Duan Family suddenly spoke up.
Although it was only an alliance to resist the turmoil in the Central Region.
But if he became the Alliance Leader, it would certainly be of great benefit to the Duan Family.
Perhaps it could even allow the Duan Family to reach the next level!
Therefore, this position of Alliance Leader, he, Elder of the Duan Family, was determined to have it! No one should even think about competing with him!
Immediately, a sharp light flashed in Elder of the Duan Family's eyes. He looked around and cupped his hands: "Since no Fellow Daoist is willing to become the Alliance Leader, then I am willing to recommend myself to be the Alliance Leader!"
As soon as his voice fell, the eyes of several Old Ancestors of First-rate Families nearby instantly widened, and they hurriedly said:
"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Duan, you're wrong there!"
"What do you mean by 'no one is willing'? Haven't we just not spoken yet?"
"To become the Alliance Leader of so many families, there are many things to consider! Not just anyone can take on the position of Alliance Leader!"
"That's right, I think I am more suitable. After all, our Fang Family governs many Cultivation Cities; I have a lot of experience in leading a large force!"
"What does governing Cultivation Cities count for! Our Sun Family has countless shops throughout the Central Region; I have even more experience in these matters! Therefore, I should be the Alliance Leader!"
...
Subsequently, several Old Ancestors of First-rate Families began to argue loudly.
The other Old Ancestors of Second-rate Families remained silent.
It was fine to offer suggestions just now!
But the position of Alliance Leader would not fall to the Old Ancestors of these Second-rate Families.
Not to mention Family strength, even the strength of these Old Ancestors themselves was a large step behind those of the First-rate Families.
Besides these Old Ancestors of Second-rate Families, those who did not join in included Xu Ze and Xie Zhisong.
After a while longer, the atmosphere between the several Old Ancestors became solemn, and no one could argue to a conclusion.
After all, these First-rate Families that were invited had similar strengths and scales, being on par with each other.
Therefore, no single Old Ancestor of a First-rate Family could completely overwhelm the others.
Shortly after, Zhou Hengwei loudly interrupted the arguments of the other several First-rate Old Ancestors: "Everyone, stop arguing for a moment. Why don't we listen to Brother Xu's opinion first? Or perhaps just let Brother Xu be the Alliance Leader?"
"The Old Ancestor of the Zhou Family has a point. If the Old Ancestor of the Xu Family becomes the Alliance Leader, I agree!"
"Yes, if Brother Xu becomes the Alliance Leader, I... also have no objection!"
"I also agree!"
...
After hesitating for a moment, the several Old Ancestors of the First-rate Families agreed.
The Xu Family was actually somewhat stronger than their families.
Previously, they had thought Xu Ze had no interest in the position of Alliance Leader.
After all, the Xu Family had always been low-key, not competing or grabbing.
That was why they had intended to compete for the position of Alliance Leader.
But if the Old Ancestor of the Xu Family became the Alliance Leader, it would also be good.
Moreover, the reputation of the Old Ancestor of the Xu Family was very good.
Rather than competing with each other without reaching a result.
It would be better to choose to let the Old Ancestor of the Xu Family be the Alliance Leader.
