All eyes were focused on the cultivators from the Ji family. Their decision would determine the current situation.
If the Ji family agreed, then the three families would join forces, giving them a slight advantage against the cultivators from Canglan Academy and Tian Gang Sect.
If the Ji family declined, then only the Yan and Huangfu families would remain, with a fifty-fifty chance of winning.
Moreover, even though Lin Xirou said she wouldn't be enemies with Di Beichen, if they engaged in a battle and both sides suffered injuries, the Lin family could take advantage of the situation.
At this moment, the minds of all the cultivators present were in turmoil.
Ji Daier hesitated. She had been quite infatuated with Di Beichen, but after the recent events, she felt that he was too indifferent towards her, while Baili Hongzhuang had just saved her life...
Baili Hongzhuang's lips curled into a faint smile. Ji Daier was truly interesting. Didn't she realize that it was both morally and logically impossible for her to make a move?
Even if Ji Daier had made up her mind to take action, Baili Hongzhuang still held a favor from the Ji family in her hands.
Once Ji Daier made a decision, she could reveal this favor, and at that time, Ji Daier would truly be in a difficult position.
Just as Ji Daier hesitated, the leading expert from the Ji family took the initiative to speak.
"Miss Baili has shown kindness to our Ji family, so naturally, we will not take action."
Ji Daier was slightly stunned. Just as she turned around to ask her fellow cultivators how they could make such a decision so quickly, she saw the cultivator give her a deep look, a hint of warning in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ji Daier fell into silence. She also understood that the warning from the cultivator had some truth to it.
After the Ji family's cultivators made their stance clear, Xia Zhiqing and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that the crisis had been alleviated to some extent.
Compared to the previously inevitable defeat, at least now they had a chance to fight back.
Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen's gazes fell on Yan Lingxuan and Huangfu Hua. The current situation was evenly matched, and they believed that even if the two wanted to take action, they had to consider it carefully.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xirou's direct withdrawal exceeded their expectations and completely changed the situation.
Yan Lingxuan and Huangfu Hua felt a bit embarrassed. They had expected a smooth situation, but it had turned out like this.
Di Beichen stared coldly at Yan Lingxuan and Huangfu Hua without saying a word. His aura had already permeated the surroundings, giving off a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Yan Lingxuan, do you really want to be enemies with our Tian Gang Sect?" Just as the atmosphere became tense, Han Xiling, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward and addressed Yan Lingxuan directly.
Baili Hongzhuang's lips curved into a faint smile. Han Xiling was indeed skilled at playing favors. Yan Lingxuan, this poor guy, was about to become her pawn.
It seemed that with Han Xiling's methods, there would be no shortage of men being used by her.
Sure enough, after Han Xiling spoke, Yan Lingxuan's face stiffened.
Although conflicts often arose over the competition for treasures, even if there were disputes between individuals, they wouldn't involve the entire family.
Han Xiling's simple words had already escalated the issue to the level of the entire Tian Gang Sect. Coupled with his feelings for Han Xiling, he had no way to answer that question.
This was the first time Han Xiling had looked at Yan Lingxuan so seriously, and as Yan Lingxuan gazed at that enchanting face that haunted his dreams, he became utterly lost in confusion.
