Chapter 635: The Yin Demonic Venerable 52

However, what the two of them hadn't expected was that when the Sect Master of the Ziyang Sect heard what they had to say, he immediately shook his head. "You're thinking far too optimistically. Rather than counting on Bai Tong sacrificing himself to repair the Heavenly Dao, you might as well hope that we can unite as one and keep the evil clan outside the Heavenly Domain."

"But Sect Master, we don't even know how long we'll be able to resist them! Only by repairing the laws of the Heavenly Dao and allowing more people to break through to the Spirit Emperor realm will we have any hope of completely driving the evil clan away!" Feng Feiyang couldn't help saying.

"And so what? What does any of that have to do with Bai Tong?" the Sect Master of the Ziyang Sect immediately countered.

Feng Feiyang was stunned. "How does it have nothing to do with him? He's also a member of the Qianye Continent!"

"Heh! I think your memory is even worse than mine! Not long ago, we were calling him a demon and planning to surround him at Spirit Mountain and take his life. And now you want him to sacrifice himself to repair the Heavenly Dao? Isn't that just a young man dreaming while wide awake? If you were treated the way he was, would you still be able to say something like that? He has already done everything he could by warning us that the evil clan shows signs of invading and helping us seal the spatial node! As for asking him to sacrifice himself to repair the Heavenly Dao—what a joke!"

If he didn't directly let the evil clan in to take revenge on them, they should already be thanking the heavens.

……

Hearing the Sect Master's words, Feng Feiyang couldn't help pressing his lips together.

Then he said righteously, "I know what we did in the past was wrong. But this concerns the survival of the entire Qianye Continent. As a Spirit Emperor, how can Bai Tong simply leave the Qianye Continent to fall into the hands of the evil clan because he can't let go of what happened in the past? Besides, he broke through to the Spirit Emperor realm at this particular moment. Isn't that a glimmer of hope given to us by the Heavenly Dao?"

"What you're saying makes sense, but so what? He doesn't want to do it. Are you planning to force him to go and repair the Heavenly Dao?" the Sect Master snorted.

Then he flicked his sleeve and said, "Since you've learned so much about the battle against the evil clan, organize the information as soon as possible and spread it. Rather than relying on Bai Tong alone, we'd be better off having all of our cultivators unite!"

With that, he left.

After the Sect Master departed, Feng Feiyang couldn't help clenching his fists.

Everyone unite?

Unite to go and die?

Something that could clearly be accomplished by sacrificing Bai Tong alone—why should so many innocent people have to die?

……

At this moment, Fairy Lingzhi stepped forward and took Feng Feiyang's hand. "Brother Feiyang, don't be upset. There must be another way!"

Feng Feiyang nodded absently, then took a deep breath. "If we can't rely on Bai Tong, then we'll have to rely on ourselves. Zhi'er, I'm going into seclusion for a while."

"All right, Brother Feiyang! Go into seclusion without worry!" Fairy Lingzhi immediately said.

"Mm!"

Tang Wan still had no idea that Feng Feiyang had set his sights on Bai Tong.

After the two of them left the main hall of Spirit Mountain, they returned to Tang Family Fortress.

A few days later, important figures from the four great sects came to visit and knelt down to beg Bai Tong for forgiveness.

"Emperor Bai Tong, we were selfish and completely wrong in the past. But now that the evil clan is invading, you are the only Spirit Emperor left in the entire Qianye Continent. We sincerely ask you to lead all the cultivators through this crisis! Every one of us is willing to obey your orders!"

The people from the four great sects all expressed their willingness to submit.

To them, being willing to let Bai Tong lead them in fighting the evil clan was already a considerable concession.

But they had forgotten one thing: Bai Tong didn't need their apologies or their concessions at all.
