Myth Beyond Heaven-Chapter 1185 The Golden Mountain Ruins (4)

Although Xie Jing's heart trembled from the sudden pressure, he didn't lose his courage as he said solemnly. "What I want to say is that. What's the point in joining the alliance when the leading forces like them clearly don't even care about us from the beginning?"

"What's the benefit we will get from this when we have to fend for ourselves in the end?" 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

Hiss—

When the words came out, people in the crowd sucked in cold breath one after another. They looked at Xie Jing in disbelief as well as admiration.

"It seems you don't listen to what I said earlier." Weilan Tianjun said with a cold smile.

Xie Jing shook his head. "I heard what Palace Master Weilan says clearly. Everybody here heard it as well. However, to me, it sounds like a cheap excuse."

He looked around and said further. "Among the four major cities, the Azure Ancient City suffered the surprised attack the least. It can be said that not even a single scratch could be seen here. So, when you said that you lack manpower, I don't think it makes sense."

"As for the claim about destroying the source of the beast tide. In all respects, this is an even more ridiculous excuse than the first one."

Xie Jing raised his hand, and the Dark Crystal immediately appeared. "This is the source of the Abyssal Poison that we found deep in the Endless Sea. There are countless of them over there."

He looked at Weilan Tianjun fearlessly and asked. "I went to check the seabed nearby the coastal cities, and it is still filling with these crystals. Is this what you are saying that you have destroyed the source, Palace Master Weilan?" 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

Weilan Tianjun's face became terrifyingly gloomy. He, who stood at the top of the world, was actually being questioned by a mere ant?

Just when his anger was about to explode, Du Xiaotian suddenly said. "I understand your feeling, Sect Master Xie. This is indeed our negligence. We will make up for it."

Everyone quickly turned to look at Du Xiaotian, and the latter said further. "I may not be able to represent the four palaces, but my Myriad Pill Palace can promise everyone here that we will provide you the necessary medicines without charging a single tael in this battle."

The audience glanced at each other in surprise. Although the medicines Du Xiaotian said should be low-level healing pills and so on, to provide everyone for free, it would certainly consume a lot of materials. It could be seen how generous he was.

"My Star Pavilion will also provide information related to the enemy for free. Everyone can go to the pavilion and inquire about it at any time." Xing Yongnian suddenly said.

"Our Divine Thunder Palace will provide everyone the Thunder Bead for free. I think everyone here knows how powerful it is. It can save a lot of lives in a critical moment." Lei Yubai echoed.

Seeing this, Weilan Tianjun made a decision on the spot. "My Azure Palace will send a monarch-level expert to station in everyone's territory. Once the enemy comes, they will help all of you in the battle."

He then turned to Xie Jing. "Is this enough to prove our sincerity?"

Xie Jing immediately went silent. Even if he knew that these four people simply used a benefit to cover their own faults, retorting them on the spot was impossible. After all, there should be many people here satisfied with it.

Xie Jing took a deep breath and cupped his fists. "I thank the four palace masters for your generosity. This will save a lot of our lives."

Seeing Xie Jing finally submit, the dissatisfaction in Weilan Tianjun's heart lessened by several degrees. However, Xie Jin's following sentence immediately gave birth to a killing intent in his heart.

"However, please forgive me. The Rising Sun Sect and I will not join the alliance."

As Xie Jing's voice fell, the audience immediately looked at him in shock.

"I know you are dissatisfied with the previous four palaces' mistakes. But can't you let the bygones be bygones, Sect Master Xie? You see, they are willing to make up for it now." One of the audience who seemed to know Xie Jing said.

"That's right, Sect Master Xie. You have to think about it carefully. Without the help of the four palaces, your Rising Sun Sect may not be able to seek help from the others later."

"Yeah, Brother Xie. There's nothing to lose by joining in."

One after another. Those who knew Xie Jing spoke out. They were trying to persuade him to join the alliance.

Xie Jing cupped his fists toward everyone and said. "I thank everyone for your goodwill. However, I cannot join the alliance because of personal reasons."

He looked at Weilan Tianjun and the other three palace masters. "In the previous beast tides, several of my sect members have lost their lives to protect people in the coastal area. Many of them had tried to seek help from the Azure Palace and were rejected mercilessly."

"Because of this, they could not hold on and had to sacrifice themselves to let the others escape."

He took a deep breath and said solemnly. "I should indeed join the alliance for the sake of my sect, but I cannot let them be wronged by betraying them like this. Otherwise, how can their souls rest in peace?"

He bowed his head and said. "I shall excuse myself."

As he finished his sentence, he turned around and walked toward the entrance without looking back.

"Did I let you go?" Suddenly, Weilan Tianjun's voice resounded, causing Xie Jing to stop his track.

Xie Jing turned around and said fearlessly. "If Palace Master Weilan wants to deal with me, I have no objection."

Weilan Tianjun stared at Xie Jing for a while without saying anything.

Seeing this, Xie Jing cupped his fists and said. "Since Palace Master Weilan has no further instruction, I will leave now."

BOOM!

The moment Xie Jing turned around and prepared to leave, his entire body was instantly shrouded with terrifying azure-colored profound lights. And before he could react, his Origin Core was shattered directly as he was thrown into the air and smashed onto the floor.

"Do you really think I don't dare to do anything?" Weilan Tianjun retracted his hand and said with a cold smile.

His cold gaze swept over everyone in the arena as he asked. "Is there anyone who wants to leave?"
