The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

After hearing Lan Ling’s words, Bai Xiaoxiao fell into a long silence, even secretly glancing at Lin Bai with somewhat evasive eyes.

Gu Daozhi said, "Emperor Xiao, now that you already know, can you state your strategy for handling this?"

At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao regained his composure, looked at the Nine Elders, took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm as he calmly said, "My strategy is very simple!"

"Whether it’s the Demon Sect or its Master, they must be targeting the Ten Great Dynasties and the Nine Great Domains!"

"Among the Ten Great Dynasties, Longteng Dynasty, Dayan Dynasty, Xuan Ying Dynasty, Flaming Dragon Dynasty, Li Dynasty, Qingyu Dynasty, Divine Sky Dynasty, Dynasty of Beasts, and True Martial Dynasty have been wiped out successively!"

"Only the Great Witch Dynasty remains."

"Among the Nine Great Domains, East Mountain Area, Blade Area, Pill Cauldron Region, Divine Dragon Domain, Phoenix Song Area, and Tianbei Region have been wiped out!"

"Now, only the Sword Domain, Soul-breaking Area, and Jianghai Region are left!"

"Since the Demon Sect’s target is the Ten Great Dynasties and Nine Great Domains, we shouldn’t fight separately anymore."

Bai Xiaoxiao said to the Nine Elders.

Gu Daozhi narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "What you mean is..."

Bai Xiaoxiao said, "What I mean is, let the Sword Realm Warriors and Soul-breaking Area Martial Artists abandon their domains; all warriors should go to Jianghai Region to resist the Demon Sect together!"

"Integrate forces within Jianghai Region and have a decisive battle with the Demon Sect!"

"Jianghai Region is one of the Nine Great Domains, and the family land of the Great Witch Dynasty is within it. This place is most suitable as the final battle ground!"

Bai Xiaoxiao said.

Gu Daozhi said solemnly, "To have Sword Realm Warriors and Soul-breaking Area Martial Artists abandon their domains to come to Jianghai Region and have a decisive battle with the Demon Sect wouldn’t be easy!"

At that moment, Jian Kong, one of the Sword Realm Warriors, said coldly, "That’s absolutely impossible! Sword Domain is where I was born and raised, even if I am to die in battle, I will choose to die within Sword Domain!"

"I will not leave Sword Domain; it is my homeland!"

Jian Kong said with unusual determination.

Gu Daozhi looked at Jian Kong and remained silent.

Everyone understood that unless absolutely necessary, who would want to leave their home?

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Jian Kong and said, "If Sword Realm Warriors are unwilling to unite, then the tragic situation in the previous seven domains is what Sword Domain is about to face."

Jian Kong said coldly, "We Sword Realm Warriors have countless strong ones, as long as the Demon Sect dares to come, they will certainly leave with no return!"

Bai Xiaoxiao sneered, "The domains and dynasties that were wiped out before, didn’t each think that their strength was immensely strong and enough to deal with the Demon Sect, but what happened in the end? They were all wiped out by the Demon Sect!"

"Moreover, even though Sword Domain has many strong ones, once those strong ones put on black clothes and robes, they become your enemies, then what?"

"What should be done then?"

"You are all high-level figures of the East Continent Academy, you should clearly know that those who destroyed these domains weren’t Demon Sect Martial Artists, but those who put on black clothes and robes pretending to be Demon Sect Martial Artists!"

"In the face of tremendous benefits, anyone could wear black clothes and robes to become a Butcher, regardless of whether they are a strong one with great power or a saint well-read in poetry and books!"

"As long as the benefits are enough to move their hearts, even Buddha would pick up the Slaughter Knife!"

"Among the Nine Elders of Order Divine Court, there is now only one solution."

"Let the remaining Sword Domain and Soul-breaking Area Warriors enter Jianghai Region to face the Demon Sect together."

"At the same time, extend an invitation to the East Continent Warriors; as long as they are willing, they can come to Jianghai Region to face the Demon Sect together!"

"This is the final battle of the East Continent!"

"This battle will determine the framework of the next hundred years, thousand years, ten thousand years of East Continent!"

Bai Xiaoxiao said calmly.

After hearing Bai Xiaoxiao’s words, everyone fell into silence.

At this moment, everyone understood that this battle would change the framework of the East Continent.

At least now the Ten Great Dynasties and Nine Great Domains are almost all destroyed, and the future framework of the East Continent will undoubtedly be a scene of heroes competing!

Gu Daozhi found it difficult to decide immediately, and looked at the other eight elders, asking, "Fellow Elders, what do you think?"

Lan Ling was the first to speak, "This matter concerns the stability of East Continent. If it falls into the hands of the Demon Sect, the harm to East Continent will be endless, I agree with Emperor Xiao’s opinion, let Sword Realm Warriors and Soul-breaking Area Warriors abandon their domains and come to Jianghai Region for a decisive battle with the Demon Sect!"

"We can’t delay any longer, otherwise, if either Sword Domain or Soul-breaking Area is wiped out, our power will weaken even more."

Lan Ling said flatly.

Gu Daozhi nodded slightly and looked at the other elders.

At this time, another elder said, "I disagree with this opinion. We all know that the reason the Ten Great Dynasties and Nine Great Domains were destroyed was because the warriors within the domains voluntarily put on black clothes and robes, joined the Demon Sect, and acted recklessly!"

"Can you guarantee there are no such warriors in Sword Domain and Soul-breaking Area? If they all come to Jianghai Region, and the Demon Sect arrives and they directly defect, wouldn’t the Demon Sect then trap us all at once?"

"This is unwise!"

Another elder from Order Divine Court said.

"I agree with Emperor Xiao’s opinion!"

"I disagree!"

"I oppose!"

"I agree!"

"I oppose!"

"..."

The Nine Elders of Order Divine Court each expressed their opinions successively.

A coincidence occurred.

Four votes in favor, four votes against!

And only Gu Daozhi hadn’t spoken yet.

Lan Ling smiled and said, "Gu Daozhi, now the eight Elders of Order Divine Court have expressed their opinions, four votes against, four votes in favor, now it depends on your vote."

"Your vote is crucial!"

"In other words, your vote will decide the framework of East Continent for the next thousands of years!"

Lan Ling smiled and looked at Gu Daozhi as he spoke.

Gu Daozhi’s old face darkened, his heart kept pondering.

Gu Daozhi couldn’t bear this responsibility!

All the warriors present looked at Gu Daozhi, waiting for his opinion.

Gu Daozhi contemplated silently for a full two hours, and all the warriors present kept quiet, waiting for Gu Daozhi’s decision.

But ultimately, Gu Daozhi didn’t say anything!

"I... abstain!" After more than two hours, Gu Daozhi shook his head and sighed lightly.

Lan Ling took a deep breath, with Gu Daozhi abstaining, now Order Divine Court has four votes for and four against, unable to proceed with this opinion.

"Senior Gu Daozhi abstained."

"Can’t blame Senior Gu Daozhi, asking for his final vote put too much pressure on him; if he decided wrongly, the change in East Continent’s framework might bring reproach from East Continent Warriors to the Ancient Clan!"

"Yes, Senior Gu Daozhi couldn’t possibly make the decision."

"It’s too risky."

Many warriors on Order Divine Mountain whispered, they all understood the importance of Gu Daozhi’s vote!

Hearing four against four, Bai Xiaoxiao also shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, Lin Bai spoke, "Nine Elders, I recall that when I became the Saint of the East Continent Academy, you said I would become the tenth Elder of the East Continent Academy Order Divine Court in the future, didn’t you?"

Lin Bai spoke, followed by the warriors all looking at Lin Bai.
