The other sect leaders looked at one another and saw anger on each other's faces.
They had joined hands because Tianlian Sect had invited them to do so, and splitting up Qingshan Sect's resources between the six of them started off as a good idea. But they didn't expect to suffer such losses in the process.
If they continued fighting, they would only suffer more casualties. They didn't want to suffer such losses anymore.
Just when the atmosphere was getting tense, a voice called out from outside. "Jiang Ning from Qingshan Sect is here! He says he would like to negotiate with all the sect leaders!"
All the expressions on the sect leaders changed.
Negotiate?
That Jiang Ning from Qingshan Sect had come to negotiate with them?
"Why is he here?" asked Ting Chan.
"Jiang Ning said that there are no winners in war. If the fight continues, the only casualties are the ordinary disciples of each sect, and this is probably not something that the sect leaders want to see." Ting Chan felt his heart tremble.
This was exactly what he was thinking about.
He was suddenly curious about this youngster.
He wasn't just curious about how Jiang Ning had managed to learn Buddha Sect's most secretive and difficult move, or how he had managed to perfect the moves in minutes. He just felt that Jiang Ning was simply too mysterious.
"They don't want to fight anymore?" Li Xuan frowned.
Heifeng Sect had lost an elder and now Qingshan Sect was saying that they didn't want to fight anymore?
How dare they?
"I'm surprised that this Jiang Ning is bold enough to actually come here to negotiate with us," said the sect leader of Qiankun Sect, Wu Liang, quietly. "Isn't he afraid that we might surround and attack him?" This was the campsite of the combined army of the six sects. So besides the six sect leaders, there were many elders and highly skilled fighters here. If they all surrounded Jiang Ning to kill him, it would be hard for Jiang Ning to get away!
"Master Wu is right," Luo Qi laughed coldly. "We shouldn't pass on such a wonderful opportunity!"
"Since he's come knocking on our doorstep, let's kill him!"
"We should not do such a thing." Ting Chan shook his head. "Even two nations at war do not kill an envoy from the enemy camp. Killing him is not ethical."
"Master Ting, who cares about ethics?" shouted Luo Qi angrily. "It's now a matter of life and death! Who cares about ethics in times like this?"
He looked at the rest of them. "I want to kill him. Who's going to stop me?"
Li Xuan didn't say anything. The sect leader of Longkongshan Sect, Yun Zhongxian, didn't speak up either. The sect leader of Bajian Sect, Geng Jianba, turned to glance at Ting Chan, then shook his head. "No, we shouldn't do that."
In an instant, the six leaders were divided among themselves.
Ting Chan sighed and laughed bitterly. "If we just keep fighting, it will never end. We are all trying to find a way to survive, and not find a way to kill ourselves. I hope everyone can understand this." "Master Ting, say no more. If Buddha Sect wishes to back out, you can take your men and leave right now. The rest of us will still be able to destroy Qingshan Sect!" Luo Qi didn't bother being polite. Ting Chan looked at everyone else. "Do all of you want to take this chance to kill Jiang Ning?"
"Master Ting, Chief Luo is right. This is now a matter of life and death said Li Xuan with a darkened face. "Also, that Jiang Ning killed one of my elders. If I don't avenge him, how am going to account to my sect?"
"A life for a life! That's how it works in the first place!"
"But what if you're the one who ends up dying?" Ting Chan shook his head. "Li Xuan, please reconsider."
With that, he got up and prepared to leave. He really didn't want to kill Jiang Ning because he agreed with Jiang Ning's opinion.
"Master Ting, please wait," a voice came from behind a screen. Ting Chan turned and saw the man who had come round to invite all of them to join forces in the first place walk out and smile at him.
"Chief Luo, I don't think we ought to
don't
kill Jiang Ning now." The man looked at Luo Qi and bowed slightly.Original content from .

"Master Fing is right. This is an. unethical move, and it's not
something that respectable sects
like ours ought to do."
Everyone turned to look at the man's face.
Luo Qi looked at him too and raised his head slightly. "Mr Lang, then what do you think we ought to do?"
