Even willing to represent the Seven Nations Alliance to mediate the conflicts between the two sects.
But without exception, there was no progress.
In the name of "revenge," Liu Yu resolutely refused.
He stated frankly that killing people must be answered with a life, and debts must be repaid. This is the natural order of things.
Blood debt must be repaid with blood; this is the simplest thought in the hearts of the disciples under him.
As the ancestor of the sect, he naturally needs to listen to the humble wishes of thousands of disciples and respect their truest thoughts.
Thus, in the name of "revenge," no matter how the other party persuaded him, Liu Yu never relented.
He repeatedly emphasized that this was revenge, not invasion.
Seeing that he was unyielding, Bright Moon True Lord changed strategies, trying to persuade him from another angle.
First, he praised Liu Yu for his profound understanding and far-sighted vision, subtly pressuring him with the "interests of the alliance" and the "greater good of the Human Race."
“No, no, no!”
“Friend Mingjing, you flatter me too much.”
Hearing this, Liu Yu waved his hands repeatedly, pretending to be flattered, unwilling to accept Bright Moon True Lord's praise.
Then he straightened his expression and said seriously:
“In fact, I, Liu, have a narrow mind, unable to accommodate the masses, and cannot reach such a profound state, nor do I have any deep insights.”
“I am merely an ordinary person, a ‘common cultivator.’”
“But having taken on the heavy responsibilities from Brother Changfeng, as the ancestor of the Yuan Yang Sect, I have a duty to manage the sect well.”
“The grievances of the sect must naturally be addressed!”
“An eye for an eye, a blood for blood!”
By the end, Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly, leaving no room for persuasion.
He was fully aware of what he was doing, and once he started, there was no turning back.
Even if many ordinary cultivators and countless mortals lost their lives because of this, he would not care!
The immortal way values personal interests; Liu Yu must first be responsible for himself, putting his own interests first.
Secondly, were a few concubines, who he might provide some help to at his discretion without harming his own interests.
Finally, there was the sect.
For most disciples of Yuan Yang Sect, every scene and object within the sect was familiar; the sect was the beginning of everything and also their "home."
Liu Yu grew up in the sect, so he naturally had some sense of belonging.
When circumstances allowed, he didn't mind fighting for some benefits for the sect.
In this world, the vast majority of cultivators were just ordinary people; how many saints were there?
Those who talk about benevolence and morality are merely related to their own interests!
“It seems that this time, we should return empty-handed.”
Hearing the uncompromising words and sensing the other party's unwavering will, Bright Moon True Lord flashed this thought.
She came at the behest of the alliance, merely fulfilling a routine duty.
Since repeated persuasion yielded no willingness to give up from Liu Yu, Bright Moon True Lord did not intend to continue.
To keep persuading could lead to accusations of bringing in personal emotions and deliberately obstructing matters.
This person naturally did not wish to provoke hostility out of thin air.
After all, after the battle with Dan Ding Sect, the name of "Old Demon Qingyang" had become well-known in the Seven Nations Alliance.
Bright Moon True Lord felt that she was most likely not his opponent.
“Since Friend Qingyang has made up his mind, I shall not speak further.”
“I only hope that you can control the scale of the war and not involve too many innocent cultivators.”
After pondering for a moment, Bright Moon True Lord said slowly.
“Indeed.”
Hearing this, Liu Yu nodded in agreement.
This time, the expedition was solely to eliminate the hostile sect and kill He Old Demon to annex the Heavenly Harmony Sect; he had no intention of affecting more cultivators.
