However, some still valued their lives, worried about encountering danger, and instinctively wanted to retreat.
A direct disciple was even more unable to understand Tian Ning's actions, feeling ashamed: "How could you lose the Six Sects' face like this…"
"You're about to die, and you still care about this?" Jiang Xi said calmly.
The direct disciple was speechless after being told off by Jiang Xi.
He just felt that such behavior was too demeaning, and those cultivators were all selfish egoists. Unless the Six Sects promised them sufficient compensation, how could they possibly be willing to help?
Moreover, this time it was related to life-threatening danger. Even if Tian Ning pleaded like this, outsiders might not be willing.
Since ancient times, people's hearts are difficult to fathom, even the Elders felt this was harder than ascending to heaven.
Tian Ning, however, asked the direct disciple: "If we die, and Liu Yao leaves this Secret Realm with the Demonic Cultivator, who will be the first to be harmed?"
"Naturally… the Fellow Cultivators within the Fu Immortal Sect…"
These words made those who were unconcerned somewhat uneasy. They…should they run away immediately?
If they really waited until Liu Yao absorbed all the Spiritual Energy and harmed the direct disciples, then after leaving the Secret Realm, she would inevitably attack them.
Just as someone was about to leave, Tian Ning, as if she sensed something, said: "Escape…where can you escape to?"
Those who had just moved their legs: "…"
Does she have mind-reading abilities?
Tian Ning: "Demonic Cultivators have not harmed the Cultivation World for the first time. Six months ago, they attacked the Wanjian Sect. Now, they are even more audacious, openly challenging the Six Sects Grand Competition. So who will be next?"
"The Dan Ding Sect, the Refinement Sect… If all the Six Sects fall, the catastrophe of the Devil Realm invading the Cultivation World a thousand years ago will be repeated. Where can you escape to then?"
Each continent will have relatively large Sects guarding it, and on the Eastern Continent, it is the Six Great Sects.
Now, the Demonic Cultivators are even more audacious, daring to attack all the direct disciples of the Six Sects. If this batch of direct disciples from the past hundred years all die, the Six Sects will inevitably be severely weakened. To cultivate a new batch of direct disciples, how difficult would that be…
The audience was also filled with various thoughts for a while.
Usually, with the Six Sects around, they didn't need to worry at all. But thinking about it this way, if the Six Sects had an accident, they would lose their protection!
Tian Ning: "It's true that it's none of your business, and no one will bet their lives. But Demonic Cultivators are different. I believe none of you are unaware of the agreement between the Five Continents. No matter when, if Demonic Cultivators invade, other continents must help. This is the rule set by our ancestors. When we cultivators encounter Demonic Cultivators, what reason do we have not to unite and fight together?!"
A thousand years is neither long nor short for cultivators. Few people remember the Demon Venerable's invasion of the Five Continents, especially since the main battlefield was on the Central Continent.
But hearing the young girl's words, everyone inevitably woke up a bit.
They, cultivators seeking the path of Ascension, all had grand ideals of upholding justice and striving for excellence.
But…betting their lives, can they really succeed?
"Elder Liu, there are tens of thousands of Fellow Cultivators watching the Six Sects Grand Competition this time, right?" Recalling the scene of the Grand Competition where the audience seats were packed, Tian Ning had already calculated this beforehand.
Elder Liu was stunned, then an incredible look flashed in his eyes: "Yes."
She even noticed this.
"Enough."
Tian Ning's determined gaze seemed to know their confusion and helplessness. She smiled: "Fellow Cultivators, rather than waiting for death, dare you join me in saving the Eastern Continent? Today, here, we will completely cut off the Demonic Cultivators' conspiracy!"
What she said was quite inspiring. She even pulled out the wooden hairpin from her hair as a weapon, raised her right hand, and boosted morale.
The audience: "…"
In a short while, she transformed into a street interviewer, scurrying to Zhou Han: "Come, come, Fellow Cultivator Zhou, say a few words."
Zhou Han: "…"
"That…" Zhou Han hesitated awkwardly, and after a long time, he whispered: "I implore fellow cultivators for help. Zhou Han will never forget today's kindness!"
Female cultivators who liked Zhou Han were touched by his awkward appearance!
You know, Zhou Han usually has a high and mighty demeanor, always with an icy face. Now, they could actually see this expression.
'Clap clap clap!' Tian Ning applauded enthusiastically.
After interviewing him, she hurried to the Elders: "Elder Liu, Elder Xie, what do you want to say?"
"…"
What could they say?
In order not to spoil the mood, Elder Liu organized his words and also added many inspiring words.
Tian Ning also asked Wang Dameng. This guy said earnestly: "Ah! I really want everyone to save us… I'm still young, I don't want to not see the sun tomorrow. If we can really save everyone, it's a good deed, and it's beneficial to you fellow cultivators, isn't it…"
The audience: "…"
Please don't say you're young with that old-looking face.
Tian Ning asked some direct disciples. Some were embarrassed, some were straightforward. No one didn't want to live in the face of life and death. Many audience members outside felt a little soft-hearted.
In terms of both emotion and reason, they shouldn't have stood idly by.
After Tian Ning's suggestion, some Elders went to find the Sect Leaders who were waiting for the Ancestors to leave seclusion in the Forbidden Zone.
Surprised that such an idea was proposed by a little girl, after discussion, the Sect Leaders also thought it feasible. However, to persuade everyone, the Six Sects would naturally have to pay a considerable price.
But it's nothing compared to the lives of the children!
However, unexpectedly, when they arrived, most cultivators were willing.
Tian Ning took out many top-grade Revival Pills from a cloth bag. The little girl didn't feel any heartache at all, and distributed the pills to the direct disciples and Elders with higher cultivation bases.
They agreed that if the outside cultivators came in, they would take the Revival Pills and do their best to make the plan successful.
"I…I also have Revival Pills. In my right-side clothes," a female Pill Cultivator direct disciple timidly said: "Although there aren't many, they are mid-grade Revival Pills. I only brought this with me, the others are in my Dimensional Pouch and I can't open it…"
"It's okay, thank you, Fellow Cultivator!" Tian Ning thanked sincerely, taking the hard-earned pills.
"That…I also have some."
"Me too…"
Pill Cultivators always carry pills on them. At this time, everyone took out their supplies.
Tian Ning was very busy. She went to one Pill Cultivator direct disciple, broke the vine to release them, and then ran to another Pill Cultivator direct disciple…
The freed Pill Cultivators were also efficient, hurriedly searching themselves, in case the Spiritual Energy was insufficient to overwhelm Liu Yao, these Revival Pills were the most crucial things!
Everyone pooled their resources, barely enough. Although it was a bit meager, it was far less than the pills usually in their Dimensional Pouches. But for some reason, everyone felt warm inside.
This scene was a bit heartbreaking.
Even a Sword Cultivator took out low-grade Revival Pills that were treasured and hidden in the soles of his shoes!
Everyone: "…"
"Pfft hahaha…" Suddenly, a cultivator outside the Secret Realm couldn't help but laugh.
"These direct disciples are just interesting children. Seeing them waiting there eagerly, if we go to save them, should we really disappoint them?"
"
