No sooner had Yuan Shun finished speaking than the hall fell silent, for these people were no strangers to the Blood Sea.
Over the years, the cultivators of the Xuandan Sect have been continuously studying the Blood God Sect. The Blood Sea to the Blood God Sect is comparable to Xuandan Peak to the Xuandan Sect, and its importance is immeasurable.
Therefore, all the cultivators present have a deep understanding of the Blood Sea, even more thorough than some people from the Blood God Sect.
The Blood Sea originates from the far northwest region of the Yu Heng World, adjacent to the Northern Wilderness, crossing the Western Desert and Daqin, before reaching the Daqian Immortal Country.
Strictly speaking, the Blood Sea controlled by the Blood God Sect is only its end. Other forces outside Daqian are responsible for cleansing and suppressing the source and the middle section.
However, despite being the end, the demonic beings in the Blood Sea, although minimal and weakest, have caused great danger, requiring the presence of a Golden Core Sect to suppress them.
This particular Blood Sea is merely a branch of the true Blood Sea in the Nether River Immortal World.
Theoretically, by following the Blood Sea upstream to its source in the far northwest of the Yu Heng World and breaking through a certain limit, one could reach the Nether River Immortal World.
According to rumors, tens of thousands of years ago, a Spirit Transformation stage cultivator who was nearing his end and incapable of ascending to the Immortal World did just that.
However, after the barrier between worlds was broken through and he entered the Nether River Immortal World, his soul tablet inside his sect in the Yu Heng World shattered in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. This implied the immediate demise of this Spirit Transformation cultivator, resulting in extreme danger which no one else dared to undertake.
Sitting in the last row, Han Yi’s face changed slightly too, but not only due to the dangers of the Blood Sea. He was also thinking of something else.
Firstly, if one were sent to guard the Blood Sea, it would inevitably delay cultivation. The environment in the Blood Sea is definitely not as peaceful as Xuandan Sect. Constant vigilance and fights against demonic beings are necessary, thus real cultivation time would be shortened significantly.
Secondly.
The Xuandan Sect may have won this battle, but it didn’t completely annihilate the Blood God Sect and Heavenly Soul Sect. Only five Golden Core cultivators remain in the sect, with less than half surviving. Moreover, only about forty Foundation Establishment elders survived, which is severely damaging.
If they were to send out a portion, or even a large portion to guard the Blood Sea, those sent would inevitably face danger. This danger does not stem only from the demonic beings in the Blood Sea, but also from the people from the Blood God Sect and Heavenly Soul Sect.
Those Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators who fled, and those cultivators who initially did not participate in the battle and remained in their original sects, will scatter once they learn almost all the higher-ups in the sects have been eliminated.
This is also why the Duke of Zhennbei in Daqin requested the Xuandan Sect to send people to guard the Blood Sea, because they must have existed only in name.
Some of the scattered cultivators will run far away, while others will lurk and wait for an opportunity to retaliate and assassinate Xuandan Sect cultivators.
According to Han Yi’s calculation, this possibility is highly likely.
If Yuan Shun can only stay in the Xuandan Sect and cannot leave, these cultivators who are sent this time might be overwhelmed by the other cultivators. If they are not careful, their entire force may be wiped out.
For the Blood God Sect and Heavenly Soul Sect, they have lost their sects and have fallen into being loose cultivators. Daqian’s constraints on them are no longer effective. They can perform a task, then leave Daqian, and there is nothing that Daqian can do.
In other words.
Even though Xuandan Sect has won, it is more dangerous to leave the sect at this time. Only by remaining inside the sect, with Yuan Shun’s protection, even if the Zhou Heavenly Xuangang Array hasn’t been repaired, everyone can sleep without worries.
That Han Yi can think of these two points, the other Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in the hall can think of them too.
They are not afraid of dying for the sect, but they really do not want to die meaninglessly outside the sect. Therefore, after Yuan Shun finished speaking, the cultivators all fell silent.
This silence made Yuan Shun’s despair even worse.
Sitting to one side, Zhuge Wu You swept a look around the room and was the first to express his opinion.
“In this trip to the Blood God Sect, Master Huo Ming and 1 will lead the team. In addition to us, we also need fifteen Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators,” he stated.
“However, we will not be permanently stationed at the Blood Sea, but will implement a rotation system.”
“Every ten years the team will be rotated, and after ten years, the Golden Core Stage cultivators can reconsider. The Foundation Establishment Cultivators can rotate back to the sect.”
“Moreover, for the fifteen Foundation Establishment elders who go, the sect will provide some resource compensation, which will definitely make you satisfied.”
“Is there anyone willing to sign up?”
“If no one signs up, we will decide based on the ancient rule, via the Heavenly Mechanism Chart.”
All the elders remained silent.
At this time, Qin Wuxian, who sat beside Yuan Shun, suddenly added a sentence.
“This rotation system is only temporary.”
“The ten-year term is only tentative.”
“Perhaps within less than ten years, the sect will come up with new policies, and by then, you all might be able to return.”
Han Yi’s eyes flickered, but he made no movement.
Just then.
“I’ll go.”
The hot-tempered Foundation Establishment elder named Li Wenbin from Zhu Rong Peak was the first to stand up and respond to the call. Master Huo Ming nodded his head in satisfaction.
Following this, four more cultivators stood up, stating their willingness to go. Among them were two that Han Yi was quite familiar with.
One was Gu Yu who was sitting at his side.
Han Yi wasn’t surprised by Gu Yu’s decision. Gu Yu’s loyalty to the sect was so great that it made Han Yi admire him.
The other one he was familiar with was He Fengdi from White Tiger Peak..
