This is completely illogical.
unless……
Shen Tong suddenly opened his eyes.
The anger in his eyes had subsided significantly, replaced by a serious and cold expression.
Unless, within the Demonic Dragon Palace, a hidden powerful figure stepped in to provide assistance.
Moreover, the expert’s strength obviously far surpassed the first rank of the True Immortal Realm, and might even reach the same level as him, or even a higher level!
He instantly realized that the Demon Dragon bloodline was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Behind them stood the notorious Demon Clan, a pawn planted by the Demon Clan in this region.
Could it be that an extremely powerful demon had personally acted?
Upon realizing this, the anger in Shen Tong’s heart was instantly replaced by cold anxiety.
The demons were cruel, cunning, and powerful. If they were to get involved in this matter, the hasty deployment of the temple troops now would be the same as walking into a trap.
Shen Tong slowly walked back to the main seat, then sat down again, his expression changing unexpectedly.
Below, the elders, seeing the Palace Master remain silent for such a long time, their anger turned to silence, could not help but feel doubt.
The anger and war cries that had arisen before gradually subsided.
The red-faced elder suppressed his curiosity, stepped forward, respectfully put his hands together in front of Shen Tong, and asked in a deep voice, “Palace Master, why do you still hesitate?”
“The Demon Dragon Clan wiped out my elders and insulted my temple. This is an irreconcilable hatred. If we don’t take revenge immediately, how can we face our fallen brothers? How can we face all the temple disciples?”
Shen Tong raised his eyes, glanced at him, and said in a low and cold voice, “You think I don’t want revenge?”
“The Great Elder has followed me for thousands of years, and we are like brothers. His tragic death has angered me more than anyone else. I want to tear Long Yuan apart!”
He slowly stood up, hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across every elder present like a sword, his tone heavy and clear: “But have you thought it through? How could Long Yuan, a first rank True God, be able to finish off the Great Elder, three other True God Elders, and fifty elite soldiers?”
“He doesn’t have that ability!”
“Not even the Demon Dragon bloodline has this power!”
“Therefore, there must be an influential figure secretly helping him! And that influential figure’s strength is probably no less than mine!”
These words have been spoken.
The expressions of all the elders in the hall changed simultaneously. The anger that had just arisen was instantly extinguished by a splash of cold water, replaced by deep shock and fear.
No less powerful than the Palace Master?
Does that mean that the other party is at least at the peak of the second rank of the True Immortal Realm, or even the third rank?
Currently, in the temple, apart from those with supernatural powers, no one else had such powers!
Seeing the changes in the expressions on everyone’s faces, Shen Tong continued his analysis in a deep voice: “During this period, the three sacred mountains of our temple were destroyed, and several elders of the True Immortal Realm died one after another. The strength of the sect is far from what it was before, and its vitality has been greatly damaged.”
“If we rashly start a war with the Demon Dragon lineage now, even if we win in the end, it will be a false victory, and we will pay a huge price!”
“At that time, will the two great powers, the Divine Hall and the Divine Palace, who have always coveted my temple, give up this opportunity to kick me while I’m down and destroy my temple in one fell swoop?”
“They won’t!”
He paused for a moment, and a deeper layer of worry appeared in his eyes.
“Moreover, David is still in Yunxian City, conspiring with the Tianlong Clan and having close ties with them. David is cruel and has unfathomable power, repeatedly destroying important things for our temple.”
If my temple launches a large-scale attack on the Demon Dragon Palace, and he seizes the opportunity to launch a surprise attack from behind, cutting off our army’s path of retreat and heading straight for my temple’s main hall, then my temple will be attacked from both sides. How could we possibly defend ourselves at that time?
“Caught in a pincer movement, besieged by internal and external troubles, my temple will plunge into utter ruin!”
His words were clear and logical, and every word pierced the heart.
The elders, who had been furious, looked at each other, their fervor and anger gradually replaced by seriousness and rationality.
They fell silent, contemplating the Palace Master’s words. The more they thought about it, the more worried and afraid they felt.
Yes, they only thought about revenge, but they ignored the most dangerous situation at hand.
After hesitating for quite a while, an elder cautiously asked, “Palace Master do you mean we should spare the Demonic Dragon bloodline for now? Swallow this humiliation?”
Let them go?
To bear it?
A terrifying killing intent suddenly flashed in Shen Tong’s eyes, so strong that it gave all the elders present goosebumps.
How could he let him go?
The blood of the Great Elder must not be shed in vain.
The lives of fifty elite soldiers must not be wasted.
The humiliation experienced by the temple cannot be taken for granted.
