Chapter 489: Slightly Inferior
"Lin Ye, what novel are you reading that makes you so engrossed?"
"The ten-year period has expired, welcome the return of the Dragon King!"
Chen Xi was delighted when he saw the content of the novel on Lin Ye’s phone.
"You like to see crooked mouths too?"
"It's still pretty fun as long as you don't use your brain to watch it."
"That is indeed the case."
Chen Xi agreed with Lin Ye's idea.
"Besides, my ten-year agreement has also come to an end, and I feel very involved."
When Chen Xi heard Lin Ye mention the ten-year agreement, his expression changed slightly, and then he asked with some concern: "Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure."
"ah!"
"But someone will break the contract. " Lin Ye replied meaningfully.
…
…
The Dharuo Sect, which has been silent for many years, has been extremely excited these days.
Because the time has come for the agreement made ten years ago.
In fact, as early as a few months ago, this ten-year agreement became a hot topic of concern around the world.
Although, this battle no longer has anything to do with Tianwaitian and the Appraisal Institute.
Because in these ten years, all the major sects in Tianwai Tian have been completely integrated into today's society.
Many sects have begun reforms, and some have directly changed into academy formats in order to recruit more potential newcomers.
After the disciples’ abilities improve, they can stay in school and serve as teachers.
Those sects that still adhere to strict class systems cannot recruit any good disciples at all.
This is not a world beyond heaven. Every sect has a fixed source of disciples.
With the development of communication and transportation, people with the qualifications to practice cultivation in various places can go to any sect to become a disciple, or join the practice academy established by the appraisal institute.
If you don't change, you will only decline.
Those sects in Tianwai Tian that have been passed down for a long time are well aware that if a sect’s inheritance is interrupted in one generation, it will bring huge risks to the entire sect.
Unless they also have a powerful person in the Void God Realm in charge.
The forbidden area of Dara Sect.
Only those who are strong in the Yuanshen realm can enter. At this moment, the leader of the Dharuo Sect and the elders all looked at their own supreme elder in confusion.
The ten-year agreement has come to an end, but the Supreme Elder has not mentioned this battle at all, as if it did not exist.
“Ahem!”
The Great Elder of the Dara Sect coughed and said, "I asked you to come here today because I have something to discuss with you."
"Master, please give us your orders, and we will follow them."
The leader and elders of the Daluo Sect were flattered. When would the Supreme Elder discuss things with them? In the past, all matters were given directly by orders, and no one dared to disobey the Supreme Elder's words.
"How do you think we should tell the public so as not to damage the reputation of our Da Ruo Sect and at the same time end this challenge?"
"What?"
The leader of the Daluo Sect and others were all shocked and almost suspected that they had heard it wrongly.
The Supreme Elder wanted to give up the ten-year agreement, and it was their Dharuo Sect that made the public announcement.
If this statement were to be released, the reputation of the Daraju sect would be completely ruined, and it would become a laughing stock among all the other sects from then on.
Why?
"Uncle Master, can you tell us the reason for your order?"
For other things, they can do it immediately without asking any questions , but if they don't know the reason, they really won't agree to it.
This concerns the reputation of the Dara sect for thousands of years.
"Ahem... I'm no match for Lin Ye."
If these people could see the face of their Grand Elder at this moment, they would be able to see the red color on the face of this powerful Void God Realm expert.
Obviously, he felt a little ashamed to say such things.
Too embarrassed to speak.
But there was no other way, he had to give a reason, and he was afraid that making up a reason would cause misunderstanding, which would be even worse.
“Let me tell you the truth. A year ago, I sensed the presence of a powerful Virtual God in this world. I was curious about who had broken through to the Virtual God realm, so I went to check it out. I didn’t expect it was Lin Ye who had broken through to the Virtual God realm. I fought with Lin Ye at that time, but I was slightly inferior to him and lost.”
The leader of the Dara Sect and the elders looked at each other.
Lin Ye suddenly reached the virtual god realm, and his own supreme elder was no match for him.
"Uncle Master, even if we lose the duel, it is better than giving up."
One elder bravely expressed his opinion that losing to Lin Ye as scheduled would at most mean admitting that Lin Ye was indeed a rare genius from ancient times to the present. Although it would also cause some damage to the reputation of the Daruo Sect, there was still a limit.
Especially as Lin Ye becomes stronger and stronger, the damage caused will only become less and less.
But if he gave up directly, it would mean that he was afraid of Lin Ye, and the nature of the situation would be different.
"Just give up directly." The Supreme Elder insisted.
"But……"
"Ahem, since Master Uncle said so, let's do it this way. We will go and think about the words now, and then tell Master Uncle after we have considered it."
The leader of the Daruo Sect stopped the elder who was about to dissuade them, gave the elders a look, and everyone respectfully left the forbidden area.
"Sect Master, why did you stop me just now?" The elder who had opened his mouth to persuade us looked puzzled: "Sect Master, you should know that if we give up, then our Da Ruo Sect will probably fall out of the top ten sects."
The reason why the Dharuo Sect can maintain its status as one of the top ten sects is not only because it has top experts of its own, but also because it can recruit talented disciples, but talented disciples are all arrogant.
They will not join a sect that doesn't even dare to challenge for a fight.
The top strong men are the foundation of a sect, and the talented disciples are the driving force of that foundation.
Without a talented disciple, even a top-notch expert would feel insecure, because he would have to consider what the sect would do if he left.
If we make enemies for our sect now, will we be retaliated against later?
In fact, a sect is just like a family.
There are outstanding descendants in the family, and the elders are firm in their words and deeds.
If the next generation in the family is full of bad guys, the elders have to leave room for them when doing things, try not to offend others, and even give up some interests so that the other party will not take advantage of the situation.
"Ahem, although what Master Uncle said is slightly inferior, it is possible that the truth is not so."
The leader of the Daraju Sect sighed. His words stunned the other elders, and then they reacted.
The uncle-master might have said this to save face for himself...
There is a high possibility that my uncle-master will suffer a crushing defeat.
This thought came to everyone's mind, but no one said it out loud.
Everything makes sense.
The next day!
Just when everyone was looking forward to this ten-year agreement, the Daruo Sect issued a statement to the public.
"Given that the Tianwaitian has now been integrated into society, this integration is positive and progressive, it is the general trend, and it is what the people want. After careful consideration, the Supreme Elder of our sect considered the overall situation of the world and decided not to let history go backwards. The Dara Sect cannot become a sinner of the human race, so we finally decided to give up this battle."
