370: Could it be that the background and support behind the other party is so strong that they are not afraid of the Daluo Dynasty?
Time rewound to a quarter of an hour ago.
Within the Star Pavilion in the Southern Xuantian Realm.
A heavy atmosphere permeated the entire main hall. Luo Shenyi and the many Elders of the Star Pavilion had their brows furrowed almost into the shape of the character 'ba'.
"The Great Luo Imperial Dynasty intends to annex the Southern Xuantian Realm, and we, the four Supreme Realm forces, will be the first to bear the brunt."
"Now the Ming Family is completely defunct because of Gongzi."
"The only remaining obstacles are our Star Pavilion, the Taiyin Sect, and the Heaven Sword Sect."
"And those guys from the Heaven Sword Sect, completely forgetting Gongzi's existence, directly defected to that Eighteenth Prince."
"It seems they relied on that Eighteenth Prince's Emperor Lord Dao Protector to break the Soul Imprint left by that Demon Clan expert."
"So, before us now are two paths..."
"One is to do as the Heaven Sword Sect did and defect to the Eighteenth Prince."
"But by doing so, we would be completely betraying Young Master Xiao and also offending God Willow behind him!"
"If they were to get angry and pursue the matter, the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty might not necessarily shelter us, but it could allow us to temporarily overcome the crisis."
"The other path is..."
"Continue to follow Young Master Xiao and fight the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty to the death!"
"This path is full of uncertainty."
"If Young Master Xiao is willing to shelter us and has sufficient strength to contend with the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty."
"Only then can our Star Pavilion overcome this crisis."
"But if they are unwilling to shelter us, or are not capable enough to contend with the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty, our Star Pavilion will also be doomed forever."
"Both paths are a gamble, so I, this Pavilion Master... want to hear your opinions!"
Amidst the heavy atmosphere.
Luo Shenyi's gaze swept over everyone present, his low voice echoing in the main hall.
This caused all the Elders present to fall into silence.
Regardless of which of the two paths before them.
If they took a wrong step, the consequences would be unimaginable!
After all.
Neither Xiao Chen's side nor the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty were existences that the Star Pavilion could contend with.
Offending either one would be a devastating blow to the Star Pavilion.
What they needed to weigh now was which side was stronger, so they could find a way out for the Star Pavilion!
"Since the Pavilion Master has asked, then I, this Old man... will analyze it objectively."
After Luo Shenyi's voice fell, the Grand Elder of the Star Pavilion, Ma Wenlong, said in a hoarse voice at this moment.
"Currently, what we know is only that Young Master Xiao has several major experts by his side."
"One of them is God Willow, renowned throughout the Eastern Region, but currently, she seems to only have Supreme Realm cultivation."
"Another is an expert from the Demon Clan. Judging from his words and actions that day, he also seems to be an Emperor Lord Realm expert."
"But for some reason, he is not in his peak state."
"As for the last two women, each of them looks extraordinary, but they only have Supreme Realm cultivation."
"And the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty..."
"This is one of the major Emperor-level forces in the Xuantian Realm. Their overall strength and foundation are simply unfathomable."
"The number of Emperor Lord Realm experts known to the world has already reached seven!"
"That Ancestor of the Great Luo Imperial Family is even an Emperor Lord expert."
Saying this, Ma Wenlong glanced at Luo Shenyi and the others, and continued in a heavy tone.
"Judging from these objective factors, the Heaven Sword Sect's choice to betray and pledge allegiance is also a wise move."
"After all, the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great."
"Even if Young Master Xiao has God Willow, renowned throughout the Eastern Region, as his backing, her cultivation has not even reached the Emperor Lord Realm yet."
"As for that Soul Clan expert who is suspected to be an Emperor Lord, in this Old man's opinion... he is also not enough to contend with the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty."
"What's more..."
"The identities of both of them are somewhat sensitive; once exposed, they will attract great trouble."
"Therefore, unless a miracle happens, or we have underestimated Young Master Xiao's foundation, this game will ultimately favor the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty."
As these words fell, the main hall also fell into a dead silence.
One could even hear heavy breathing.
It has to be said.
Ma Wenlong's analysis was indeed very objective.
From all the information they currently possessed, Xiao Chen's side was indeed inferior to the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty!
And their most sensible course of action was to choose to pledge allegiance to the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty.
If they could convince that Eighteenth Prince and persuade an Emperor Realm Expert to break the Soul Imprint for them.
They, this group.
Could completely break free from Xiao Chen's control, but would be subject to the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty from then on!
It's like jumping from one pit to another, but at least it's slightly better than hitting a rock with an egg.
"You also think..."
"The most sensible course of action for the Star Pavilion is to choose to pledge allegiance to the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty?"
In the silence.
Luo Shenyi looked at the other Elders and asked in a low voice.
However, the other Elders did not reply, seemingly all tacitly agreeing to this choice.
After all.
He who understands the times is a wise man!
Xiao Chen had originally killed two of their Grand Elders, and their Star Pavilion was forced into a helpless situation, only choosing to surrender to Xiao Chen in the end.
Now that a more powerful existence has appeared, they can only choose this way to save their lives!
"I don't know why, but I, this Pavilion Master, always feel that Young Master Xiao is not as simple as we see him!"
While everyone remained silent, Luo Shenyi sighed and said.
This caused the other Elders to change their expressions, each raising their heads in surprise.
"Does the Pavilion Master mean..."
"We should choose to stand with Young Master Xiao and fight the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty to the death?!"
This is a life-or-death decision!
If we take one wrong step, there will be no Star Pavilion in the world!
There's no room for emotional decisions!
"Don't forget, Young Master Xiao once helped us improve our innate talent with just a wave of his hand."
"This is a miracle that even Emperor Lord Realm experts find difficult to achieve."
Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, Luo Shenyi said in a low voice.
These words caused the bodies of the several Grand Elders present to tremble slightly.
"Although we were forced to submit to Young Master Xiao, he also gave us a great fortune."
"Both logically and emotionally..."
"We cannot be too ungrateful."
Saying this, Luo Shenyi took out a jade pendant, which was precisely the sound transmission jade pendant Xiao Chen had given him for convenient contact between both parties.
Now this item could be put to good use.
"Let's first report this matter to Young Master Xiao. If he has the confidence to come to the Star Pavilion, then our Star Pavilion will stand with Young Master Xiao."
"If Young Master Xiao fears the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty and dares not come to the Star Pavilion to hold the fort, then our choice to pledge allegiance would also be understandable."
As these words fell, Luo Shenyi raised his hand and pointed at the jade pendant, transmitting the entire sequence of events.
The other Elders around.
Seeing Luo Shenyi's action, said nothing at this moment.
They had all received Xiao Chen's favor.
Although it hadn't reached the point of following him to the death, they would feel deep guilt if they were to pledge allegiance to others.
Therefore, let's leave this matter to Xiao Chen to decide.
After this thought settled.
Luo Shenyi and his group sat in the main hall, their eyes fixed on the communication jade pendant.
Finally.
After a good while.
The communication jade pendant flickered once again, and a message was transmitted.
"This This Young Master will arrive shortly!"
There were no extra words, just a simple sentence.
But it revealed an incredibly strong confidence and boldness, leaving Luo Shenyi and the several Grand Elders present completely shaken.
This Young Master Xiao, after learning about the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty, actually intends to personally descend upon the Star Pavilion?!
Could it be that the background behind him is already strong enough to fearlessly face the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty?!
