Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010: Public Outrage

"The reason is very simple. Our Formation Sect has just undergone a two-year long war with Red Soul Hall, and it’s time for us to recuperate. Now our treasury is empty, how could we withstand another war?"

"Moreover, it’s not just our Formation Sect, the situation is probably the same for several other forces in the Eastern Domain."

Ding Xingzheng looked at Qin Batian and said coldly.

His considerations were indeed for the welfare of the Formation Sect, but this kind of thinking was too conservative, not realizing that Red Soul Hall wouldn’t give them time to recuperate.

"If it were the same as before, Brother Ding’s words would certainly be without problem."

"But do you know, this time Red Soul Hall is different, they intend to slaughter all the common people within the territories they’ve occupied."

"When that time comes, the living will be enveloped in misery, countless lives will be lost in vain, and you are not unaware of the methods Red Soul Hall employs. If they truly commit such heinous acts, their cultivation will surely increase significantly. With their strength enhanced, does Brother Ding really think they would sit idly by, not attacking our Divine Flame Alliance?"

"Facing such ruthless and crazed individuals, do we really want to just sit idly by, unmoved?"

Qin Batian looked at Ding Xingzheng, questioning him.

These words caused shock to everyone in the great hall; some were even filled with intense anger, expressing disgust towards Red Soul Hall’s intended horrific acts.

"Brother Qin, where did you hear such things? These are merely rumors, not something that has already happened."

Ding Xingzheng said calmly and indifferently, clearly determined not to commit people from the Ouyang Family lineage to helping Lin Chen.

"Brother Ding, are you implying that I am fabricating all of this?"

Qin Batian stood up, a powerful aura bursting forth from him immediately.

Seeing the aura exploding from Qin Batian, everyone present was astonished, secretly thinking that these two big shots wouldn’t actually come to blows right here.

"I did not say Brother Qin is making things up, but I do feel that this matter requires cautious consideration. After all, our Formation Sect cannot afford another great war."

"Also, I would like to remind Brother Qin to have your own conviction and not be led by the nose, used by someone with ulterior motives."

Ding Xingzheng looked at Qin Batian and spoke with a mocking tone.

His words were obviously suggesting that Qin Batian should not be used by Lin Chen.

Hearing this, Qin Batian sneered, thinking to himself how stubborn this old man could be.

Ding Xingzheng’s approach of cautiously maintaining the status quo was already outdated. In the current situation, if the Formation Sect continued to stay in place, favoring non-involvement, they would ultimately be swallowed by Red Soul Hall.

"Brother Ding, Brother Ding, with what you’ve said, could it be that you view Yan Yue, Shang Wenming, and Cui Cai as individuals with ulterior motives?"

Qin Batian looked at Ding Xingzheng and said coldly.

The reason why Qin Batian has the confidence to convene a hundred-year unprecedented grand assembly of the Formation Sect is precisely because he has his own trump card: uniting Lin Chen’s Jade Cauldron Sect to attack Red Soul Hall, having already obtained the consent of several other super powers.

Now, upon hearing Qin Batian utter these words, everyone present was shocked, especially Ding Xingzheng, for whom terrified would be an understatement.

After all, Yan Yue was the true number one powerhouse in the Eastern Domain, famous for many years, and moreover, their senior.

Ding Xingzheng’s words at this moment bordered on arrogance.

After all, if his words reached Yan Yue’s ears, he might find it difficult to maintain his footing in the Eastern Domain.

The entire Eastern Domain holds immense respect for Yan Yue, and Ding Xingzheng’s words were undoubtedly challenging that respect.

In the great hall, some of the elder figures, having heard Qin Batian’s words, believed them almost completely.

Consequently, they naturally sided with the Qin Family lineage.

"Even so, the foundation of Spirit Sword Sect is not something our Formation Sect can compare to. Their willingness to take the lead certainly comes from their own confidence. But what about us? Our Formation Sect has been greatly weakened by this war, not to mention, speaking of the most basic Spirit Stone Resources, we are incredibly lacking. What will we use to fight Red Soul Hall?"

Ding Xingzheng looked at Qin Batian and spoke once again.

No matter what, he could not allow Qin Batian to rally everyone; if so, Qin Batian would amass all of the Formation Sect’s power under his command, thereby completely eroding the authority of the Ouyang Family within the sect.

If the Qin Family line indeed accomplishes this, it will definitely elevate their status in the eyes of the people. By then, the Qin Family might completely take over the Formation Sect, and the Ouyang Family would be cast into the shadows.

"Hmph, Brother Ding, are your words suggesting that we should become cowardly turtles, hiding and treading carefully?"

"While the other forces are uniting to oppose Red Soul Hall, should we hide within the Formation Sect, behind closed doors?"

"When the war ends, how would the other forces view us?"

"At our next meeting, will they point at our noses, and say the people of the Formation Sect are cowards?"

Qin Batian looked at Ding Xingzheng and asked angrily.

At this moment, he was truly enraged because for the sake of Ouyang Family’s position within the Formation Sect, Ding Xingzheng had completely disregarded the bigger picture and spoken such disadvantageous words against the sect.

Even if the Ouyang Family lineage does not provide assistance, they should not hinder the efforts of the Qin Family and others.

"Elder Qin is right, we must not become cowards. Since all other sects can join the battle, our Formation Sect must not lag behind."

"Right, those guys from Red Soul Hall, committing such heinous deeds, if we just stand by and act timidly within the sect, other members of the Orthodox Path will certainly mock us."

"Crazed Red Soul Hall, to hell with them."

"Right, we won’t back down, and our Formation Sect must join the fight."

Some of the younger disciples within the great hall said angrily.

Ding Xingzheng, watching this situation unfold, frowned, thinking to himself how unfavorable this was for him.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen watched the scene with indifference, thinking to himself that old ginger is indeed hotter than new. Previously he had been wondering why Qin Batian, who had clearly announced a meeting for the Hall Masters and higher-ups, also called some of the younger disciples to attend.
