As she expected, the three sects indeed dared not use their most valuable resources to support Licheng.
Especially after Fu Shan took over as sect leader and held that sacrificial ceremony to heaven.
The defeat of the Great Sect always evokes endless sighs. Seeing the Juque Sect today is like seeing our own sect tomorrow. Even if someone like Fu Shan emerges, what difference will it make?
If Heaven wishes to destroy someone, how can one person's great strength, like an ant trying to shake a tree, possibly prevail?
Therefore, it appears all the more tragic.
In order to avoid following in the footsteps of the Juque Sect, the three sects must consider their own interests and find a balance between self-interest and benevolence.
"When things are peaceful, the Qingyun Sect puts on airs as the head of the four sects, but when it's time to uphold justice, why does it suddenly seem to lack the foundation and be unable to continue?"
Gu Yiguan's voice was neither warm nor cold, but the sarcasm in his words was clear to everyone present.
Zhu Wuyao quietly found a corner to listen in.
The envoy from Qingyun Sect remained unmoved, seated in his chair, and smiled:
Every family has its own problems.
"The Juque Sect has always boasted that it is the largest of the four sects, but now its city is being eaten away by insects and ants and is about to collapse."
"Today the flowers are in full bloom, next year they will be broken walls and ruins."
"If we can ensure our safety, we should follow the example of the Taibai Sect, living a simple and peaceful life, recuperating and resting. In recent years, the Taibai Sect has been quietly making a fortune, and I suppose the Supreme Elders are enjoying their retirement."
"It's time to get out and stretch our muscles."
The envoy from Taibai Sect this time was Qi Jun, Ruan Ayao's master.
Zhu Wuyao had met her at the Immortal Cultivation Conference in Zhongling City.
Qi Jun sneered and said:
"Since you know that my Taibai Sect is indifferent to worldly affairs, why are you still trying to take advantage of our Supreme Elder?"
"Our Taibai Sect has several Nascent Soul stage elders who are willing to go to Licheng to fight. They are all chivalrous and willing to risk their lives for the common people."
"Everyone knows that the Juque Sect is now in dire straits."
"A cornered beast's struggle is a desperate fight."
"Does your Qingyun Sect intend to force my Taibai Sect's Supreme Elder to his death?"
"Sect Leader Gu, who from your Star-Picking Tower is leading the attack?"
All eyes fell on Gu Yiguan.
The envoy from Qingyun Sect spoke first:
"Zhu Wuyao must not show herself in Licheng. Otherwise, her presence will not only attract the attention of the Juque Sect, but also cause them to fight amongst themselves and become a disorganized mess."
This statement is rather cryptic.
What he really meant was that if Zhu Wuyao appeared, the three sects probably wouldn't join forces against the Juque Sect, but would all want to capture Zhu Wuyao.
Gu Yiguan smiled, put down her teacup, and instead of directly responding to the two groups' probing, she said:
"Since Qingyun and Taibai are unwilling to contribute, the best option for Zhaixinglou at this time is, of course, to hand over Zhu Wuyao and form an alliance with Juque Sect."
Wishing you no invitation: ?
But she remained sitting quietly, without uttering a sound.
“My Zhaixinglou is not adjacent to the Juque Sect.”
"Bang—!"
The envoy from Qingyun Sect slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and angrily said:
"Gu Yiguan, the South is already in chaos. Are you trying to add fuel to the fire by threatening us here?"
Gu Yiguan said calmly:
"The Star-Picking Tower and the Giant Que Sect possess three fragments of the Heavenly Dao."
"My master, Sect Leader Fang, for the greater good of the world, risked his life to travel alone to other continents to seize the fragments of the Heavenly Dao from the hidden ancient clans."
"He who plans for the world can also plan for the world."
The Qingyun Sect envoy was rendered speechless.
This is something that can't be explained.
Headmaster Fang resigned from his position as headmaster. At such an advanced age, he risked his life to uphold the Dao and serve Heaven. He was truly fighting for his life.
Her personal presence in the perilous situation gave Gu Yiguan the confidence to sit here calmly and engage in the power struggle between the two factions.
If the three sects work together to seize the Heavenly Dao fragment from the Giant Que Sect, the Star-Picking Tower will naturally push forward the process of "Returning the Dao to Heaven" with all its might.
At that time, Heaven will no longer need to use calamities to bring down disasters and eliminate superfluous things.
This achievement will benefit future generations.
However, if the Qingyun and Taibai sects refuse to cooperate, then the Heavenly Dao fragments that Sect Leader Fang personally seized in the perilous place will be the basis for Gu Yiguan's confidence to overturn the table.
Those who plan for the world can also plan for the world.
Gu Yiguan did not press the issue; instead, he conceded a step and said:
"Fu Shan, my Zhaixinglou will take action."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Not only were there guests from various sects, but also Elder Bai and Elder Chi from the Star-Picking Tower, and Zhu Wuyao was among them.
Each sect has already weighed its own methods for dealing with mountains—
This person might possess the power of a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator under certain conditions and with prior arrangements.
The most troublesome thing for the Juque Sect, besides those Nascent Soul stage elders and the sect's foundational magical artifacts, is Fu Shan.
The former two, supported by the Loose Cultivator Alliance, the accumulated resources of Li City, and the assistance of the three sects, were still slightly inferior, but could still barely hold their own.
What truly troubles all parties is Fu Shan's capabilities.
Those who can step forward to assume the position of leader during times of turmoil must be strong.
All three sects have methods to deal with half-step Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but what truly surprised everyone present was that the Star-Picking Tower was actually willing to do so.
Gu Yiguan ignored the attitudes of the people below the hall.
She continued, "In return, I hope that Qingyun and Taibai can contribute more when dealing with the Supreme Elder of the Juque Sect and the sect's foundation."
Gu Yiguan stood up, raised his hand in a salute, and said:
"Beyond interests, there is also benevolence and righteousness. We hope that all sects will lend their full support to give the people of the South a way to survive and leave a way for ordinary people to live."
"The reconstruction of the order of heaven and earth and the restoration of the natural order are imperative. This is a great achievement for all ages, and we should not shirk our responsibility."

Inside the Hall of Enlightenment.
Zhu Wuyao looked up at Gu Yiguan several times, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
"How should the Star-Picking Tower deal with the mountain?"
Noticing the gazes that had been fixed on him repeatedly, Gu Yiguan took the initiative to ask.
Zhu Wuyao hesitated for a moment, then said:
“Some time ago, Fu Shan held a sacrificial ceremony to heaven, and she also used the bloodline of the people of the south as a shield. Didn’t you also suspect… what she did in secret?”
"To be on the safe side, we should estimate her strength to be at the half-step Nascent Soul stage."
"The difficulty for the Star-Picking Tower in dealing with half-step Nascent Soul cultivators is no less than that in dealing with a dozen or even dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators."
Gu Yiguan put down his pen, turned around and asked:
"Are you worried that the Star-Picking Tower's foundation has been depleted after this battle, making it unable to cope with the future struggle between the four sects?"
Zhu Wuyao nodded slowly.
She was afraid that the Star-Picking Tower couldn't protect the North.
As a result, the people in the north will also fall into the same predicament as those in the south, suffering greatly.
Isn't that just robbing Peter to pay Paul?
Gu Yiguan shook his head and said:
"The reason I let you listen in on the three talks was to put your mind at ease. Now that the assistance has been finalized, I will send someone to Licheng to contact Ge Mingsheng."
"As for the depletion of resources and the loss of strength, you don't need to worry about it."
"This is the option with the least damage for the Star-Picking Tower."
“Zhu Wuyao, you don’t need to do anything. As long as you can stay calm, Licheng will rise, and you will have a good chance of getting out of this mess unscathed.”
The pre-battle arrangements have been finalized.
Since Gu Yiguan has made a promise, he is certain that there will be no mistakes.
Despite wishing him well, she remained uneasy.
Perhaps it's because people are always restless before something big happens.
