The next day
Tang Sect!
Standing above, Zang Xin watched the neatly arranged disciples before him...
By his side were Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu, who lent a rather impressive air to the arrangement at first glance!!
"Sect Leader, you've called all the disciples here just to dispatch a team?"
"Yeah, it even includes the disciples from the Soul Guidance Hall. To the uninformed, it would seem as if our Tang Sect is about to go to war with some power!!"
Hearing their murmurs, Zang Xin glanced at them, "Didn't you two suggest dispatching a team to the ruins for reconnaissance? Naturally, we should gather all of Tang Sect's elite disciples for you to choose from!"
"After all... with the Federation and Spirit Pagoda out there, we can't let the majesty of our Tang Sect be diminished!"
Even though he disliked fighting for power and profit, the Tang Sect was still a top-tier force, and to treat this operation casually would invite others to look down on them!
Once he said this, Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, clearly understanding his intent...
Truly fitting for our Sect Leader, he saw right through us...
While they were discussing, the Tang Sect disciples below were growing restless...
"Strange, this is the first time in a while that the Sect Leader has summoned all the disciples. Could it be that something big is about to happen?"
"Look at this momentum, could it be that our Tang Sect is going to go to war with some force?? After all, even the disciples from the Soul Guidance Hall have been called up!"
"Heh, I always knew our Sect Leader was one to make big moves. He's been cultivating strength and biding his time all these years, just waiting for this moment!"
"I don't think it's likely we'll go to war. Although Tang Sect's overall strength isn't bad, we're nowhere near the Federation and Spirit Pagoda. Even they wouldn't dare to start a war rashly, so where would we get the courage?"
"Indeed, in today's tense situation, whichever force initiates a war would likely be immediately surrounded and attacked by the others. Tang Sect doesn't possess that kind of strength yet!!"
"Hey, hey, can't you guys discuss something practical? If we were really going to war, how could we be standing around so leisurely? Clearly, the Sect Leader or the two Hall Masters have something to say!!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was ripe, Zang Xin took a deep breath and announced, "All disciples of the Tang Sect, today, I have summoned you because there is an important matter to announce!"
Upon his words, sparks of anticipation lit up in the eyes of all the Tang Sect disciples...
Zang Xin then continued, "That is, the two Hall Masters and I have decided to dispatch some of our disciples to escort the Soul Guidance Hall disciples to the Divine War Ruins to explore the situation there!"
Despite the name "Soul Guidance Hall," it doesn't mean they only research things related to soul tools; it can be said they are the pillar of Tang Sect!
As expected, upon hearing this, the Tang Sect disciples' expressions grew animated...
"What?? Escorting the Soul Guidance Hall's people to the Divine War Ruins? I recognize every word individually, but why does it sound so unfamiliar when put together?"
"Yeah, what is this Divine War Ruins? How come I've never heard of it??"
"Divine War Ruins... could it be the ruins formed from the battle where Xu Sheng, the teacher of the Shrek Seven Monsters, fought against the Abyssal Emperor?"
"That's right, it should be that place. As for the name, it seems it was collectively given by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, to commemorate this teacher called Xu Sheng. Without him, the human world would have long ceased to exist!"
"Hiss... If I remember correctly, the Abyssal Emperor's strength was even greater than that of the Sea God who came from the Divine Realm. Who exactly was this Xu Sheng?"
"The question isn't who Xu Sheng was, but since those ruins were left by the battle of God level strong, could there be something remaining there, perhaps even dangers?"
As these words left his mouth, the disciples clearly all felt some apprehension...
After all, no one wanted to arrive there and die in unclear circumstances!
Liang Xiaoyu pursed his lips and sighed, "Sect Leader, it seems that the name 'Divine War Ruins' still instills fear in the disciples."
Guo Xiaoxu nodded in agreement, "Mmm... If it were me, I would probably feel the same, however... the people from the Federation and Spirit Pagoda have already gone, so there must not be any danger!"
Zang Xin had naturally overheard their conversation and immediately reassured them, "All disciples need not fear, before this, the people from the Federation and Spirit Pagoda have already reached the Divine War Ruins in advance and have not discovered any danger!"
"Therefore, there is still some guarantee of safety on this trip!"
However, these few words failed to arouse the Tang Sect disciples' enthusiasm...
Seeing this, Liang Xiaoyu coughed, "Sect Leader, let me handle this!"
Without any concrete benefits, even the internal disciples would not be willing to undertake such tasks!!
Zang Xin hesitated for a moment, but still nodded...
For this kind of matter, it was still better to leave it to the former!
With permission granted, Liang Xiaoyu then continued, "All Tang Sect disciples willing to participate in the escort mission, upon your return, will not only receive a large amount of contribution, but will also be given preferential treatment in all respects!"
"Not only that, this time, Hall Master Guo will personally accompany you!!"
Guo Xiaoxu was stunned and immediately pointed at herself, "Hang on, Hall Master Liang, when did I say I was going?"
Liang Xiaoyu blinked and feigned innocence, "Isn't this to reassure the Tang Sect disciples? Hall Master Guo, you'll have to be inconvenienced to make a trip!"
Guo Xiaoxu was just about to retort, but then she saw a subtle change in the attitudes of the Tang Sect disciples below...
"Not only can we earn contribution but receive preferential treatment? By the look of it, we can't afford not to go!"
"Indeed, if we can receive focused training from the sect, be it soul weapons or Spirit Souls, surely we would get the very best!"
"I want to participate, I want to participate. It's just a trip to that ruin, there's really nothing to be afraid of!"
"Exactly, and worst comes to worst, we have Hall Master Guo with us. What kind of monster could pop out from the Divine War Ruins that we can't handle? I'm in too!"
Seeing this, Liang Xiaoyu once again praised aloud, "Hall Master Guo, do you see? Because you are also going, you've given the Tang Sect disciples a great sense of security, and their attitude has immediately changed!"
"Are you still going to refuse now?"
Hearing this, Guo Xiaoxu hesitated, then waved her hand, "Fine... if we're going, we're going. But Hall Master Liang, didn't you have this planned all along??"
The exposed Liang Xiaoyu just chuckled darkly, "Heh heh, all's fair in war, and besides, if you don't go, there will be no one to lead the Tang Sect disciples!"
"When the time comes, we'll need to live alongside people from the other two major powers, and if any conflict arises, that would be troublesome!!"
