Listening to Xu Qingsong's ultimatum, Gong Chunling's attitude was firm.
She said coldly, "Xu Qingsong, don't even think about such a thing. I'm telling you, it's absolutely impossible!"
"Is that so?" Xu Qingsong was not surprised by this answer, but his smile became more meaningful. "What a pity then."
"But what's the use of you rejecting me? Do you think you can stop me today?"
Gong Chunling said coldly, "Xu Qingsong, if you think that bringing these people here means you can swallow our Lingzhen Sect, then you are too naive."
"You have indeed called many people, but our Lingzhen Sect is not without its people. Do you really think you can overthrow me directly?"
"I'm telling you, this is impossible."
Xu Qingsong laughed, "Impossible? Haha, Gong Chunling, you really are a comedian."
"I know what kind of sect the Lingzhen Sect is. If it's just about brute force, what can you do to fight me with these people? Set up formations?"
"Don't be ridiculous. By the time your formations are set up, my men will have already captured you. You can't stop me."
Gong Chunling said coldly, "Is that so? If you really think so, then come and try."
Xu Qingsong continued to laugh, "Try? I'm sorry, I don't plan to just make a scene with you like this."
"After all, I already have this in my hand. Do you think your resistance still has any meaning?"
After speaking, Xu Qingsong pulled open the cloth in his hand, and immediately, a purple light seemed to shine from his hand.
At the same time, a strange aura immediately formed a strong wind, blowing across the entire plaza.
Seeing what Xu Qingsong was holding, Gong Chunling was once again plunged into immense shock.
She took a step back and pointed at Xu Qingsong, "This, this is the Sect Protection Great Formation. How can this thing be in your hands?"
Xu Qingsong grinned sinisterly, "What's there to be surprised about? After all, the Sect Protection Great Formation has already been activated. Do you think it was opened by someone else? Of course, it was me!"
"To be honest, I went to a lot of trouble to get your bracelet, but now I've succeeded."
"If I hadn't said anything, you probably would never have discovered that the Sect Master's token had been replaced."
"Xu Qingsong!" Gong Chunling was completely enraged.
She roared, "Don't do anything rash! The Sect Protection Great Formation is an extremely dangerous thing. You will destroy the entire Lingzhen Sect!"
Xu Qingsong laughed heartily, "Hahaha, looking at you, are you anxious?"
"That's more like it. I'm tired of seeing you put on that indifferent and detached demeanor all the time!"
"Let me tell you, of course I know the Sect Protection Great Formation is dangerous. If it weren't dangerous, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to activate it!"
"Let me tell you, the formation core is in my hand now, and the control of the Sect Protection Great Formation is also under my command."
"Your only way out is to surrender, otherwise, I will activate the Sect Protection Great Formation right now."
"Let's see if you are more powerful, or if the Sect Protection Great Formation is more powerful!"
A layer of paleness appeared on Gong Chunling's face. As the Sect Master of the Lingzhen Sect, she naturally knew the power of the Sect Protection Great Formation.
As she remained silent, an elder said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, you must not compromise!"
"If the Lingzhen Sect truly falls into the hands of this scoundrel, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Xu Qingsong said, "Old Man Liu, at this point, you're still spouting such nonsense, aren't you?"
"Fine, since that's the case, then I'll let you witness the power of the Sect Protection Great Formation first."
After speaking, Xu Qingsong raised the formation core high into the sky.
Instantly, from the massive light shield, a beam of light shot down rapidly and landed in the center of the plaza.
Then, with a loud bang, a bottomless black hole actually appeared on the plaza!
"This!" Seeing such a terrifying scene, the people of the Lingzhen Sect were immediately stunned.
On the other side, even Wu Tian could not help but be filled with horror.
The power of the Sect Protection Great Formation was indeed terrifying!
With just a greeting, it possessed such immense energy. If it were to unleash its full power, who could resist it?
In the history of the Lingzhen Sect, the Sect Protection Great Formation had never been activated before, so everyone was seeing what it was like for the first time.
Everyone was awestruck.
Gong Chunling trembled and said, "Xu Qingsong, don't do anything foolish. This is the Lingzhen Sect, the place where you grew up!"
Xu Qingsong smiled and said, "That's right, this is indeed where I grew up. It is precisely because of this that I am willing to give you a chance. After all, I don't want this place to turn into ruins."
"However, my patience is limited. If you are still unwilling to comply with my wishes, what else can I do but resort to some forceful measures?"
Gong Chunling's mind was in chaos.
She certainly didn't want Xu Qingsong to succeed, but with Xu Qingsong now in control of the Sect Protection Great Formation, what should she do?
The elders saw Gong Chunling's hesitation. They were all veterans of the Lingzhen Sect, so they could not stand by and watch Xu Qingsong commit such atrocities.
One elder said, "Sect Master Gong, you must not flinch!"
"Don't worry, we will always stand by your side. No matter what rebellious things he tries to do, we will never yield to them!"
As the elder spoke, the other disciples of the Lingzhen Sect also responded, each with a look of determination to die.
Seeing this, Wu Tian could not help but sigh with emotion.
The Lingzhen Sect was truly a good sect. Even at this point, not a single person defected. This was not an easy feat.
However, although everyone's enthusiasm was high, after hesitating, Gong Chunling raised her hand and said, "Everyone, please be quiet."
"I know that everyone is devoted to the sect, but the more you are like this, the more I cannot bear to watch you go to your deaths."
"Today is a calamity for our Lingzhen Sect, and we probably cannot survive this great tribulation."
"Since that is the case, then let's not make any futile sacrifices. He wants to be the Sect Master, right? No problem, I'll give it to you."
"Sect Master!" Hearing that Gong Chunling was about to give up, the elders immediately became anxious.
"It's not the end yet, how can you give up!"
"There's no need to persuade me further," Gong Chunling waved her hand, looking very weary.
She said, "This is unavoidable. I know I shouldn't do this, but this is indeed the best way."
