Novel Full Chapter 1211 1210 How to Save
Chapter 1211: Chapter 1210: How to Save Chapter 1211: Chapter 1210: How to Save Dragon Haotian laughed, “Why should I owe you an explanation?”
“Long Zhixin was the third to fight; why did she lose? Is this not the responsibility of your Long Family?” the Western Moon King said with a grim face.
As soon as these words were uttered, Dragon Haotian’s anger rose from his heart. With a fierce slam on the stone table before him, it shattered into powder with a bang, and the entire Ancient Pill Court trembled.
Feeling the tremors of the Ancient Pill Court, the high-ranking members of the Pill Alliance, who were meeting in another great hall, were shocked and anxious, not knowing what had occurred.
“Chief of the Dragon Family, please quell your anger for the moment,” the East Pole Heavenly King quickly stood up and said. If a fight broke out, the entire Ancient Pill Court would undoubtedly be torn down.
Dragon Haotian glared at the Western Moon King with an icy expression, “Western Moon, clarify your words. Are you saying that the Pill Alliance’s defeat should be blamed on my Long Family?”
The Western Moon King was not at all intimidated, his words a direct confrontation, “Since Long Zhixin was the final contestant, she had to win. Otherwise, she would be a sinner of the Pill Alliance, and your Long Family would have let down the Pill Alliance!”
“Western Moon, that’s not how you should speak. The Long Family has nothing to do with this defeat, and Long Zhixin is not to blame, as she has already done her best,” the South Zodiac Heavenly King couldn’t stand by any longer and stepped forward to persuade.
The Western Moon King snorted, “Long Zhixin is a Pill Refiner of our Pill Alliance. Having failed to secure victory and caused the Pill Alliance to lose face, she must take responsibility.”
Dragon Haotian immediately cursed, “How shameless of you, Western Moon! Uttering ‘sinner’ over and over, do you see everyone who doesn’t meet your expectations as the sinner of the Pill Alliance? Fang Lin was so treated, and now you wish the same for my Long Family’s Talent?”
“Dragon Haotian! You’re too presumptuous! This place is not under your Long Family’s control!” the Western Moon King spoke likewise.
Boom~~~
The clash of two invisible auras, if not for the East Pole Heavenly King’s gesture that intercepted the outburst of their energy, the Ancient Pill Court would perhaps have been reduced to ash in an instant.
Despite that, the great hall was already in complete disarray, everything inside having been shattered to pieces.
“Settle this amicably, one of you is a Pill Alliance Heavenly King, and the other is the Chief of the Dragon Family; what sort of behavior is this?” the East Pole Heavenly King said helplessly.
Dragon Haotian sneered incessantly, “My Long Family’s Talent has fought for the Pill Alliance’s honor and face against people from the Seven Seas. Even in defeat, she should not suffer unwarranted disaster. If someone must be punished, then the Long Family will henceforth break away from the Pill Alliance and become its enemy.”
Hearing this, the Western Moon King’s face changed, as did the other three Heavenly Kings, all showing concern.
“That definitely should not happen, absolutely not,” the East Pole Heavenly King said, also somewhat alarmed. If the Long Family were to leave the Pill Alliance over this affair, the Pill Alliance would lose half its support—it would be utterly ruined.
“Do not make a rash decision,” the North Spirit Heavenly King also spoke up unusually, not wanting to see the worst scenario materialize. The Long Family could not leave the Pill Alliance; such a split would have too great an impact.
Of course, Dragon Haotian was merely speaking out of anger. The relationship between the Long Family and the Pill Alliance was very complex and delicate. To let the Long Family leave the Pill Alliance was not realistic and would severely damage both parties.
“Hmph! If it weren’t for the Pill Alliance imprisoning Fang Lin, how could we have lost this competition with the Taoist Sect of the Seven Seas?” Dragon Haotian said.
At these words, the Western Moon King’s complexion became extremely unsightly, and the East Pole Heavenly King sighed, “Indeed, if Fang Lin had been allowed to fight, perhaps the Pill Alliance would not be facing this situation now.”
The Western Moon King’s face grew even more unsightly, dark as the bottom of a pot.
The South Zodiac Heavenly King looked troubled, “We underestimated the people from the Seven Seas too much. If we had taken them seriously from the start and allowed Fang Lin to atone for his offences, we indeed wouldn’t be in such an embarrassing position now.”
Even the South Zodiac King, who had previously stood with the Western Moon King, was saying the same thing, making the Western Moon King extremely embarrassed at the moment.
It was he who had firmly disagreed on sending Fang Lin to battle, believing that the Pill Alliance had many talents, and that it would be sufficient to send two or three at random to meet the challenge from the Seven Seas.
The Eastern King had advocated for Fang Lin to enter the battle but had no means to put his proposal into action and thus had to let it go.
Now, both the South Zodiac King and the North Spirit King bitterly regretted not letting Fang Lin fight.
“Even if Fang Lin had fought, it wasn’t certain he could have beaten the Seven Seas’ contestants.” The Western Moon King said this with a tone that seemed to lack confidence.
Dragon Haotian sneered, “If even Fang Lin couldn’t win, then we would just have to admit that the Seven Seas Taoist Sect is more formidable than our Pill Alliance. But now, it’s useless to say anything since certain people never even gave Fang Lin the chance to fight.”
Anger flashed in the Western Moon King’s eyes—Dragon Haotian was clearly speaking of him.
“Talking about this now is pointless. We should be considering how to salvage our reputation,” said the North Spirit King with a frown.
No one spoke. How could they salvage their reputation now? They had already lost; what could they possibly do? Would they kill everyone from the Seven Seas Taoist Sect?
The people from the Seven Seas Taoist Sect had indeed not yet left, and the Pill Alliance could certainly send out some strong individuals to kill all of them.
But this was nothing more than self-deception. What good would killing them do? Their reputation was already in tatters, and slaughtering the people from the Seven Seas Taoist Sect would only make the Pill Alliance look like sore losers.
“The people from the Seven Seas Taoist Sect have not left yet; we still have a chance to salvage our reputation,” said the East Pole King, his eyes narrowing.
At these words, the others looked at him. The South Zodiac King asked, “How can we now salvage our reputation?”
“Indeed, should we compete with them again? To be humiliated one more time?” Dragon Haotian’s tone was somewhat mocking.
The East Pole King took a deep breath, and his hunched figure now appeared exceptionally upright.
“Let them compete with us once more,” the East Pole King said.
Dragon Haotian frowned; the expressions of the other three Kings were varied.
“East Pole, setting aside whether they are willing to compete with us again, even if we do compete once more, it’s hard to guarantee victory. After all, Jade Qincheng of the Seven Seas possesses abilities far surpassing many of the Pill Alliance’s talents,” said the South Zodiac King.
“Heh, my Long Family has no one who can shoulder this great responsibility. We should look to the younger talents within the Pill Alliance for competition,” said Dragon Haotian.
The East Pole King glanced at the Western Moon King, “Given the current situation, only Fang Lin must join the battle now.”
Upon hearing this, the other three looked towards the Western Moon King, for it was he who had strongly opposed Fang Lin’s participation in the battle.
The South Zodiac King hesitated for a moment before saying, “If we can restore face for the Pill Alliance, I actually think it’s worth letting Fang Lin have a try.”
The North Spirit King nodded. Though silent, he too made his stance clear.
With that, only the attitude of the Western Moon King remained.
