Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

Chapter 297 The Hearts of the East, West, South, North Have Changed

The elders of the pro-war faction were all red-faced and glaring, shouting that they must get their revenge.

The dignified elders shook their heads repeatedly, believing that the losses outweighed the gains.

Just as the two factions were locked in a dispute, the sect leader said calmly, "Shut up, both of you. It's just a small matter; there's no need to make a scene!"

As soon as the sect leader spoke, all the elders stopped talking.

Mao Chunhua could tell what the sect leader meant just by looking at his expression.

He didn't want to fight; he just wanted more geomancers.

Meanwhile, the four people standing to the east, west, south, and north had their heads down, but anyone with eyes could see the resentment in their hearts.

From that moment on, the four people from the east, west, south, and north changed their attitude towards Maoshan.

They are only now beginning to understand that their master, Chizuru, is their one and only, and the best to them.

The four looked up at each other, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

Mao Chunhua, who was narrating, also noticed the changes in the mentality of the four directions.

How can such promising young talents be allowed to go astray?

...........................

Mao Chunhua immediately became anxious: "Sect Leader, this is no small matter. Today, the entire nation has suffered such a great humiliation. If we do not retaliate, how will the disciples of Maoshan stand in the world in the future?"

Seeing this, the other elders gathered around to persuade him.

These elders of the war faction clearly support Mao Chunhua.

"Yes, Sect Leader, since the other side has abandoned all martial ethics and attacked the juniors, then let's fight!"

"Yes, attack!"

Upon seeing the elders from the war faction, Sect Leader Mao Jian frowned.

At this moment, a kind-looking elder patted Mao Chunhua on the shoulder and said, "Elder Mao, don't be impulsive. Although we have been humiliated in the east, west, south, and north, it is not good for Maoshan to provoke a conflict at this time. The strength of the Dragon Tiger Sect should not be underestimated. A battle between the two sects will surely result in heavy casualties."

Another elder chimed in, "Indeed, by demanding the Essence Stone, we can gain something without having to resort to violence, and we can also let the Dragon Tiger Sect know that Maoshan is not to be trifled with."

Mao Chunhua sneered, "The elders only see the immediate benefits, but ignore the dignity of Maoshan. If we swallow our anger this time, the Dragon Tiger Sect will become even more reckless."

"Furthermore, you mentioned that demanding the Essence Stone would provide benefits without escalating the conflict, while also letting the Dragon Tiger Sect know that Maoshan is not to be trifled with. I would like to ask, how exactly would you let the Dragon Tiger Sect know that we are not to be trifled with?"

"this......."

The elder was speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Because what he said himself was not very convincing.

Seeing Mao Chunhua's scathing remarks, he was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a moment of contemplation, the sect leader said, "Elder Mao, your concerns are not without merit, but it is indeed not advisable to act rashly at this time. How about this, we first send someone to the Dragon Tiger Sect to make a formal negotiation and then decide what to do based on their attitude."

Although Mao Chunhua was unwilling, seeing that the sect leader had made a decision, she could only suppress her anger for the time being and nodded in agreement.

..........................

Subsequently, Mao Chunhua sent someone to negotiate, and the message was that they would be compensated with four more spirit stones!

This was also intentional on the part of the Dragon Tiger Sect.

Upon learning of this result, Mao Chunhua was so angry that she trembled all over.

"Fine, four is fine too. Seven now means we can have seven more geomancers in Maoshan!"

Mao Jian smiled as he looked at all the elders.

Some of the elders remained indifferent and silent.

They were clearly very dissatisfied.

Most of the elders were very happy because they had a good relationship with the sect leader and could ask him for the gifts to help their disciples and grand-disciples!

"Sect Leader, Elders, farewell!" A-Dong stepped forward and spoke at this moment.

I made a sword finger gesture and placed it on my head.

After reading it, Mao Chunhua knew that a storm was brewing.

Qianhe will definitely seek justice for her disciple, and the Dragon Tiger Sect will soon face Qianhe's wrath.

This was Mao Chunhua's idea.

Chizuru's personality is undeniably vengeful.

"Well, consider these two spirit stones as compensation. One was exchanged for the Seven Star Sword, and the other is your compensation."

As the sect leader spoke, he tossed the two spirit stones in the four cardinal directions.

But none of the four people from the east, west, south, and north accepted the offer.

Then the Spirit Stone fell to the ground.

This scene left everyone stunned!

.........................

The Spirit Stone shattered instantly upon hitting the ground, emitting a faint glow before disappearing.

The smile on Sect Leader Mao Jian's face vanished instantly, replaced by uncontrollable rage. He stared wide-eyed at the shattered fragments of the Soul Stone on the ground.

The air around them seemed to freeze, and the elders who had been discussing things just moments before fell silent.

Mao Jian roared, "How dare you! This is a Soul Essence Stone, a stone capable of creating two Earth Masters!"

The four men from the east, west, south, and north showed no fear. A Dong stepped forward and calmly said, "Sect Leader, you dropped this too suddenly. We four brothers haven't even had time to react yet."

"Yes, Sect Leader, it's our fault. We were too weak to react in time!" Axi chimed in.

The four figures, East, South, West, and North, chuckled coldly, clearly disappointed with the sect leader's actions.
