No one knew.
Xu Fengqiu had been preparing for a long, long time to deal with the Immortal Palace.
However, this matter was indeed a bit too heaven-defying.
No one could have imagined it.
And although the battle against the Immortal Palace was set for tomorrow night,
Xu Fengqiu still had many things to do.
The first thing was to determine how many people were willing to follow the Eternal First Divine Sect to fight the Immortal Palace.
It was difficult.
If there wasn't such a reason, it would be even harder.
The first, naturally, was the Tang Sect.
From the very beginning of his arrival in the Nine Provinces, Xu Fengqiu had been pushing the Tang Sect into the fire pit.
The Tang Sect had also fought so many battles with the Eternal First Divine Sect.
What would become of the Tang Sect in this battle against the Immortal Palace?
At this moment, the Tang Sect was actually very troubled.
Because they roughly knew that Xu Fengqiu would definitely make them take action.
Therefore,
within the main hall, the people of the Tang Sect were also discussing this matter.
"Sect Master, Xu Fengqiu will definitely make our Tang Sect take action, but how can our Tang Sect possibly take action in this battle?"
"That's right, that's the Immortal Palace! We have indeed fought other God-level forces with the Eternal First Divine Sect, but we never thought of fighting the Immortal Palace."
"What does fighting the Immortal Palace mean? It means that our Tang Sect may have to pay an unimaginable price, a price that we simply cannot afford."
"This should not be a situation where we need to take action. Under any circumstances, no sect should need to take action in this situation, right?"
"Is Xu Fengqiu a madman? Are we going to be crazy with him?"
"..."
Any discerning person knew how to choose.
And if they didn't fight with the Eternal First Divine Sect, what they would lose would only be some credibility and the sect's reputation.
The Immortal Palace didn't even have a reputation anymore, so why would they care about that?
What they needed to care about more was their own survival.
Tang Jingyu, who had been silent all along, glanced at everyone.
"Everyone, there's no need to think so complicatedly. The core of this matter is whether we want to be enemies with the Immortal Palace or enemies with the Eternal First Divine Sect."
Tang Jingyu's words were actually very clear.
It was a question of being enemies with the Immortal Palace or enemies with the Eternal First Divine Sect.
If they fought the Immortal Palace with the Eternal First Divine Sect,
then if they failed, they would inevitably suffer the Immortal Palace's counterattack.
The Immortal Palace's counterattack would definitely be a shocking event.
But if they didn't fight the Immortal Palace with the Eternal First Divine Sect...
Logically, there seemed to be no problem, after all, it was such a big matter.
But what was the relationship between the Tang Sect and the Eternal First Divine Sect??
They were staunch allies!
In their alliance, this was where their Tang Sect needed to stand up.
And if they didn't stand up, it would be tantamount to violating their cooperation and agreement.
In that case, Xu Fengqiu could completely disregard their past relationship.
Moreover, from a standpoint, although everyone could understand the Tang Sect's actions, it was also the Tang Sect who was wrong.
None of this was important.
This matter was so big that the Tang Sect's actions would affect the whole situation.
Everyone fell silent.
On the surface, they must stand on the side of the Immortal Palace.
Because the Immortal Palace was everyone's deeply ingrained, top-level existence.
But, Xu Fengqiu...
He was also very special.
Very extraordinary.
"Alas, yes, this choice is simply about being enemies with the Immortal Palace or enemies with Xu Fengqiu."
"Being enemies with the Immortal Palace means that in this battle, the Immortal Palace must be severely injured, so injured that even if they have displeasure in their hearts, they will not have the energy to deal with us, or rather, they will not be able to shake our alliance with the Eternal First Divine Sect."
"Being enemies with Xu Fengqiu means that the Eternal First Divine Sect must be destroyed, and even... that's not enough, Xu Fengqiu must die."
"It's a difficult choice, Sect Master..."
Tang Jingyu sighed.
"It's indeed a difficult choice. I never thought that one day, we would also be caught in such a difficult decision as those few sects."
Then Tang Jingyu said, "Now we need to weigh the pros and cons. Obviously, if we fight with the Eternal First Divine Sect, we will be facing the Immortal Palace. The power of the Immortal Palace is beyond doubt, including the fact that the Immortal Palace will definitely not be just one person's strength. They must also have a large number of top sects assisting them, which will increase our difficulty. In my opinion, taking down the Immortal Palace is basically unrealistic."
Everyone nodded.
"However, if we don't fight with the Eternal First Divine Sect, then that means that the Eternal First Divine Sect and Xu Fengqiu must die. This possibility is also unlikely. Xu Fengqiu was able to easily kill Jun Tianchao within the Immortal Palace, which is even more extraordinary."
"We can't say that they must die, can we? It's enough if the Eternal First Divine Sect is gone. Can Xu Fengqiu alone stir up my Tang Sect?"
Tang Jingyu said, "What if? You all know how strong he is. If he sneaks into my Tang Sect and plays some tricks, among those of you present, who can discover him?? Who can resist him?"
Everyone stopped talking.
"It's difficult to do either way, but we must choose one."
"What are everyone's opinions?"
Tang Jingyu said, "Actually, there's no need to destroy the Immortal Palace. We only need to be able to severely injure the Immortal Palace, then with the Eternal First Divine Sect and other sects, our Tang Sect is actually not very afraid of the Immortal Palace anymore. Destroying the Immortal Palace is difficult, but achieving this point, I think, is easy."
"And Xu Fengqiu, although he acts recklessly, but everyone, this is not the first time. It has been many times, and there has never been an accident."
"This Sect Master knows that in everyone's eyes, Xu Fengqiu was plotted against by the Immortal Palace, and then became angry and wanted to destroy the Immortal Palace. It's impulsive, but in this Sect Master's opinion, this Xu Fengqiu seems young, impulsive, and acts recklessly, but how many people has he deceived with this pretense? It has been so many times, will anyone still think that Xu Fengqiu is reckless?"
Everyone lowered their heads and pondered.
That seemed to be the case.
"Everyone."
Tang Jingyu looked at everyone and said, "Although it is indeed somewhat unacceptable to say it, but in this Sect Master's eyes, although destroying the Immortal Palace is difficult, making the Immortal Palace suffer a great loss of vitality is something that can be achieved. This Sect Master actually thinks that this is easier to achieve."
"But Sect Master, isn't it also very easy for the Eternal First Divine Sect to be no match for the Immortal Palace?"
"Sect Master is more confident that Xu Fengqiu has other means?"
"Sect Master, in fact, that is indeed the case, but... this gamble is too costly."
"But... everyone, before, everyone thought that Xu Fengqiu was not good enough. How many times has it been? Which time has he not gone against the heavens? He has broken everyone's perception. What if the Immortal Palace is like this again this time?"
"But this is the Immortal Palace."
"Before, the Eternal First Divine Sect was nothing. At that time, he began to shake Emperor-level forces, God-level forces. In fact, the theoretical situation at the beginning was not much better than it is now."
"..."
