Situ Yao chuckled and hurriedly tried to dissuade them: "The Ten Sects have always been united. Even past calamities far more dangerous than this, we have endured together. How can we let this separate us?"
Fang Dinge, however, did not relent in the slightest: "These times are different from the past. After several great battles, how much energy do the Immortal Instruments in your hands still possess? Without the Immortal Spirit Energy, what difference are they from scrap metal? We've been lucky to survive until now relying on these Immortal treasures in the starry sky. If we can no longer use Immortal Instruments, where do we go from here?"

"Since everyone has a point, why not bet on both sides? Don't forget, we still have a seized Immortal Instrument."
