Jiang Feng's eyes blazed with a mix of determination and frustration. He stared at Li Mei, his voice laced with defiance. "Li Mei, you underestimate the importance of this treasure! It holds the power to elevate our sect to unparalleled heights. Sacrifices are necessary in the pursuit of true greatness. I will not let our chance slip away!"

Li Mei's expression turned solemn as she met Jiang Feng's gaze. "Master Jiang, I understand your ambition, but the essence of cultivation lies not only in personal strength but also in the bonds we forge with our fellow disciples. We must value their lives and honor the principles our sect was built upon."

A chorus of desperate cries echoed across the battlefield as more disciples fell under the relentless assault of the dark creatures. The Celestial Flame Sect was teetering on the edge of destruction, yet Jiang Feng remained steadfast in his resolve.
