Chapter 2157 I Will Never Leave
Chapter 2157 I Will Never Leave
When Qi Xiong said this, his expression was serious and he looked very serious.
But in fact, he was already very happy in his heart. When he first learned about this last night, he laughed on the spot.
From the very beginning, Qi Xiong had a headache because of the number of worshippers.
Which normal sect would have tens of thousands of worshippers? This is a joke.
However, there had never been any good reason to let these people leave, so in the end they had no choice but to accept it.
But unexpectedly, by accident, Li Hongyan helped him solve such a big problem.
Qi Xiong was so happy that he could justifiably reduce the number of offerings. That was great, really great.
However, what Qi Xiong did not expect was that before he could finish his words, all the priests in the hall started shouting in indignation.
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Yeah, when did I say I was leaving?"
"Master, what are you talking about? We have absolutely no second thoughts about the sect."
"Yes, I rejected my brother yesterday and vowed to live and die with the sect."
"Yes, we have nothing to fear from a mere boundless fairy city."
"I am willing to live and die with the sect."
"I am willing to live and die with the sect."
Everyone shouted indignantly, and finally, no one knew who started it, but the hall suddenly erupted in shouts of "live and die with the sect".
Looking at this scene, Qi Xiong's face turned dark. Do I want you to live and die with the sect?
Besides, my Daoyi Immortal Sect will not perish.
Qi Xiong's purpose was to take this opportunity to reduce the number of offerings.
A sect cannot do without worshippers, but having tens of thousands of worshippers is outrageous. It is best to control the number within an appropriate range.
Faced with everyone's opposition, Qi Xiong was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and could only speak earnestly.
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me first."
He gestured to everyone to be quiet, and after the hall had returned to calm, Qi Xiong continued speaking.
"I know how you feel about our sect. Our Daoyi Immortal Sect is grateful for your great support during this period of time and for helping our sect overcome difficulties many times."
"But the more this happens, the more I, Qi, cannot let you guys down."
"You also have your own families and sects. Now that the conflict between my Daoyi Immortal Sect and Wuji Immortal City is gradually erupting, I don't want you to be caught in a dilemma."
"As the saying goes, a drop of kindness will be repaid with a spring of water. I, Qi, will never do such a thing as repaying kindness with enmity."
"So, I appreciate your kindness. After this matter is over, if you still want to come back, our Daoyi Immortal Sect will certainly welcome you. As for now, you should all go back and don't make things difficult for your fellow disciples and family members."
Qi Xiong's words were polite, but if he left now, it would be difficult to come back in the future.
Do you think that during this period, Daoyi Xianzong still has any intention of recruiting priests?
Even if someone introduced him to something, Qi Xiong would never agree and would never increase the number of offerings.
And when these people are gone, they are really gone.
But no one present was a fool. On the contrary, they were all old monsters who had lived for who knows how many years.
They are all scheming people, so how could Qi Xiong hide his little thoughts from them?
If I leave now and come back when things are over, will I still be able to come back when that time comes?
You want to trick us? No way. We can't leave.
So, as expected, everyone present chose to refuse without hesitation, and vowed to live and die with the sect.
As for being caught in a dilemma, that is impossible, and Qi Xiong doesn't need to worry about it. They will handle the matter themselves and will never cause trouble for the sect.
Seeing that it was useless even after talking to this point, Qi Xiong's face turned black.
You don't understand what I'm saying.
Such a good opportunity, is it possible to miss it? No, I must not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Qi Xiong was determined to reduce the number of offerings no matter what.
It's rare that Li Hongyan is so supportive, and Qi Xiong can't let him down. If he can't seize such a good opportunity, there will be no hope in the future.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiong didn't care about anything and didn't listen to what everyone present said. He just threw down a sentence.
"I understand your good intentions, but let's not talk about this anymore. We, Daoyi Xianzong, don't want to embarrass our friends or our own people."
"You don't have to feel guilty. Our Daoyi Immortal Sect will never blame you for this. On the contrary, we are deeply grateful."
"Okay, everyone, pack up and leave within three days. We'll see you in the immortal world in the future. We'll still be fellow Taoists and brothers."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to respond, Qi Xiong turned around and left, as if the matter was settled.
Seeing Qi Xiong leave as soon as he said, everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment. It took a long time for them to come back to their senses, and someone said quietly.
"Could it be that Qi Xiong has been wanting to drive us away for a long time?"
"That's probably the case. He used this as an excuse."
"Li Hongyan is such an idiot. He is more likely to cause trouble than to help. He has caused us so much trouble."
"Don't talk about these nonsense. What should we do now? Qi Xiong really got the chance."
"Why don't you leave?"
"It's not impossible."
Qi Xiong's move was almost an open attempt to drive people away. Naturally, the priests would notice it and they guessed his true thoughts at this moment.
However, the person that made everyone the most angry was Li Hongyan. If it weren't for that idiot Li Hongyan who made a great assist, where would Qi Xiong find such an opportunity?
Now, Qi Xiong insisted that he did it for the consideration of everyone, making it impossible for anyone to refute him.
Now they are just kicking people out......
Someone suggested staying put, which was fine. After all, they definitely couldn't leave. Once they left, according to Qi Xiong's decision, they would never be able to come back.
Stay here first and find a solution later, that’s for sure.
However, how could Qi Xiong not think of this, so after leaving the hall, he directly said to the deacon beside him.
"Go to the cafeteria and tell Elder Ye that a group of worshippers are in a dilemma because of the matter of Wuji Xiancheng. I have agreed to let them leave the sect. From today on, you don't have to prepare meals for them."
Still want to stay here? I, Qi, will cut off your fuel supply. Without food to eat, why are you still staying here?
Hearing this, the deacon was surprised but still nodded respectfully.
"Yes."
Then he turned around and rushed towards the cafeteria.
Qi Xiong was really ruthless. He was determined to take this opportunity to screen out a group of offerings.
Otherwise, there may never be such a good opportunity again in the future.
"Li Hongyan, Li Hongyan, you are really my lucky star. You have done a great job."
Qi Xiong secretly sighed in his heart that Li Hongyan did a great job.
