Hearing this, Tan Yun smiled calmly, "Sovereign Xue, before I answer these two questions, can you and the other sovereigns answer me one question first?"
"Of course, please speak, Tan Yun." Xue Chong said.
Tan Yun continued lightly, "Then I ask you, you and the other sovereigns, do you still regard the Huangfu Sacred Sect as your ally?"
"Why is it that our Huangfu Sacred Sect, despite having declined for tens of thousands of years, is still considered an ancient sect?"
Tan Yun's words were like silver needles, piercing deeply into the hearts of the sovereigns!
Dantai Xuanzhong raised his brow slightly, thinking that Tan Yun had gone a bit too far; his words undoubtedly had the suspicion of mocking and slapping them in the face!
As expected, the sovereigns at the table started to glare disapprovingly.
Xue Chong squinted his eyes, staring at Tan Yun, angrily saying, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for Tan Yun to belittle our sects this way?"
Dantai Xuanzhong wanted to mediate and speak up for Tan Yun, but after a moment's thought, he remained silent.
"Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you doubt." This was Dantai Xuanzhong's principle in managing the sect. Since he had employed Tan Yun, he believed that Tan Yun could handle it.
Tan Yun calmly replied, "I know that I have touched on your sore spots."
"Because you lack powerful techniques, and within your sect, there are no experts with profound attainments in alchemical arts, artifact techniques, talisman arts, or formation techniques."
"Because you don't have sufficient cultivation resources, which results in your disciples having great talent but unable to enhance their strength, thus failing to boost the overall power of the sect."
"And our Huangfu Sacred Sect, although it has fallen into decline, has plenty of techniques and possesses experts with unfathomable skills in alchemy, artifacts, talismans, and formations."
"Therefore, our sect remains an ancient sect, while regardless of how hard you strive for many years, you will never be able to reach even one-tenth of the power of our Huangfu Sacred Sect!"
"If this continues for too long, most of your sects will gradually decline until they disappear in the long river of cultivation history."
Upon hearing this, almost all the sovereigns were filled with rage. This envoy was no longer belittling them; he was blatantly humiliating them!
Dantai Xuanzhong felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly thought of something, reflecting inwardly, "This kid has good methods!"
At this moment, just as the anger of the sovereigns was about to erupt, Tan Yun spoke again!
The next few sentences extinguished the anger in the hearts of the sovereigns in an instant, which was swiftly replaced by expectations, yearning, excitement, and fervor!
"Everyone, please do not misunderstand. I am not here to rub salt in your wounds, but to bring you blessings, to deliver good news, and to heal your injuries, allowing your respective sects to grow stronger."
"Aren't you lacking elixirs? Good! Our Huangfu Sacred Sect will provide you with them!"
"Aren't you lacking magic treasures, formations, and talisman treasures? No problem, our Huangfu Sacred Sect will provide these too!"
"You also lack heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Our Huangfu Sacred Sect possesses the Fallen God Canyon, this vast treasure trove, containing all kinds of rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Whatever you need, we can provide!"
Upon hearing this, all the sovereigns were incredibly excited!
If all of this were true, the strength of their sect's disciples would surely leap forward!
Over time, as the strength of their disciples doubled, it would only be a matter of time before their third-rate sects crossed into second-rate and then into first-rate!
It was not impossible for second-rate and first-rate sects to one day become comparable to ancient sects!
"Tan Yun!" Xue Chong’s wrinkled face blossomed like a chrysanthemum, "Can you also provide the techniques?"
"Hahaha." Tan Yun joked, "Sovereign Xue, you are thinking too much. Techniques, of course, cannot be provided to you right now. However, there’s plenty of time ahead! If our sect and all of you cooperate pleasantly in the future, these things can be discussed."
