Chapter 359: I Heard It!
I Heard It! . . .
Long Tianyun's words resonated with unwavering resolve. "For the sake of returning these dan beads to our clans, every sacrifice becomes invaluable."
The gravity of their mission lay in the promise it held—the promise of rekindled hope, of their clans' resurgence. "It signifies a renewed chance for our clans to stand tall, free from the shadows cast by any martial sects," Long Tianyun declared, his eyes ablaze with determination.
In the wake of his powerful statement, a contemplative hush descended upon the room. The plan was, undeniably, practical. However, it necessitated a brave group willing to confront the wrath of the two great sects, to endure suffering and humiliation, and, ultimately, to face death.
The room's occupants understood the gravity of their choice. Some looked around, their eyes filled with apprehension, while others shifted uncomfortably in their seats. Their fates were at stake, and the decision was fraught with peril.
For the plan to succeed, it required the participation of prominent figures within their clans, individuals with the strength to attract the great sects' attention. These figures needed to be conspicuous, which meant that hiding their identities would be no easy task. The sacrifice of these individuals was a bitter necessity.
In the room, silence prevailed. Tensions ran high, and unspoken fears weighed on their minds. No one yearned for death, especially when the prospect of life still lay before them. Even those who recognized their inability to conceal their identities harbored a glimmer of hope that they might be among the fortunate survivors.
The hesitance was palpable. "Why are you all hesitating?" Long Tianyun questioned, a bitter smile gracing his lips. "This is our sole opportunity to safeguard our clans' future."
He dispelled any lingering uncertainties with unwavering resolve. "Allow me to clarify: none who remain in this room can be part of the 'survivor' group. We are all on the two great sects' death list. Only those who never revealed their presence during the auction have the possibility of evading the sects' scrutiny."
His gaze swept the room, solemn and resolute. "Selfish inclinations threaten to undermine our plan, the only path forward. We must act swiftly and make necessary arrangements before it's too late."
Long Tianyun punctuated his speech with a hoarse chuckle. "We are of the same generation, and though we have crossed swords in the past, now we embark on this journey to hell together. It's almost a stroke of luck, don't you think?" The humor in his words, however, found no laughter among his audience.
Laughter had long deserted the room, leaving behind an atmosphere of somber reflection. Long Tianyun's words had carried an undeniable truth—the truth they all acknowledged. His reputation as the wisest man among the eight noble clans, as the Long Clan's clan master, left no room for doubt. He spoke only the unvarnished truth.
In the silence that followed, each individual harbored their own thoughts, contemplating the question of who among them would be chosen to survive for the sake of their respective clans. This grim realization sparked an unexpected glimmer of hope and resilience amid the looming specter of death.
Their impending sacrifice, as daunting as it was, became a form of solace. The clarity of their purpose, the prospect of leaving a legacy for their clans, infused their hearts with courage. In the face of adversity, they had found hope.
However, as their discussions unfolded, an unfamiliar, cold voice shattered the room's tense tranquility. The abrupt intrusion sent shockwaves through the group, for it was a voice foreign to them, belonging to someone outside the eight noble clans.
The realization dawned on them—their clandestine meeting, meant to shape their clans' future, had been infiltrated. Despite the formidable security measures, an intruder had silently listened in, aware of their most vital plan.
Long Tianyun's face contorted in anger as he demanded, "Who is it?"
A sudden explosion of force disintegrated the sturdy wooden door, revealing a masked figure in black attire standing like an unyielding sentinel. His chilling gaze bore into the room as he addressed them in an impassive tone. "The wise clan master of the Long Clan has indeed devised a remarkable plan, envisioning the future of your clan a millennium hence. I overheard your discussions outside the door, and I must admit, I'm impressed. It's a commendable plan. Bravo!"
The unexpected presence of an outsider threatened to unravel their carefully laid strategy.
The stranger's voice bore a distinct air of peculiarity, deliberately masked by hoarseness to ensure that his identity remained concealed. In the presence of this uninvited guest, Long Tianyun's expression remained taut, filled with a seething anger that threatened to boil over. He quickly raised a hand, signaling his companions to withhold any impulsive actions.
A shrewd strategist, Long Tianyun knew the value of understanding one's adversary before embarking on a confrontation. While the notion of eliminating this interloper to safeguard their covert strategy crossed the minds of others, Long Tianyun had already contemplated more intricate possibilities.
First and foremost, the stranger's audacity in appearing alone, standing before them, implied a formidable background. He had not arrived to meet his demise but rather harbored a purpose that drove him to this clandestine assembly. Perhaps he possessed an ingenious plan or held mastery over martial arts, granting him the confidence to face them single-handedly. The stranger's inconspicuous eavesdropping on their meeting without detection attested to his extraordinary skills and stature.
Secondly, and of greater significance, was the enigma surrounding his departure. Had he been an adversary, he could have vanished without leaving a trace—arriving and departing as stealthily as a shadow. Yet, he remained in their midst, opting to reveal himself. This suggested that his allegiances might not align closely with the two great sects. If such were the case, this enigmatic figure could potentially become a valuable ally in their impending conflict. In this possibility lay the promise of a future more favorable than they could have dared to imagine..
