Qingshan Sect was only the beginning. Everyone knew that they were aiming for more than just Qingshan Sect.
There were others in the mountain who had their eyes on Qingshan Sect as well. They had to make the first move. Otherwise, they would find it tough to secure resources forthemselves in the future.
"Don't worry, I'll deal with this," said Zhang Heng. "The sect leader isn't going to budge easily. But if Jiang Ning were to die..."
A streak of viciousness flashed across his eyes.
Elder Luo Feng nodded.
"We will remain in Qingshan Sect for a few more days. We look forward to what you have planned."
They exchanged looks with one another. Everyone was in the same boat now. If they failed, they would have to suffer the consequences together. Greatness could only be achieved if they stayed united.
Zhang Heng escorted the elders out of his residence, then headed for his study. After some time, someone pushed the door to his study open quietly and entered the room.
"Mr Zhang."
It was Luo Heng.
He didn't look very well.
He had been humiliated by his defeat at the hands of Liu Qing.
Then, he had been defeated with a single blow during his fight with Jiang Ning. He had dug his own grave and suffered a second round of humiliation. News of his repeated defeats had spread throughout the Inner Court and Outer Court.
Luo Heng had become the laughingstock of the sect.
Even though he had secured a place in the Portico and was going to be made a Portico disciple, the news didn't make him feel any better.
"Are you still fuming?" Zhang Heng laughed. "Did you feel embarrassed about being defeated by Jiang Ning in front of so many people?"
Luo Heng didn't say a word. The look on his face told Zhang Heng everything.
"I have something that might make you feel better.”
Luo Heng's pupils contracted. "What do you mean by that?"
"Do you wish him dead?"
Luo Heng's heart began to race when he heard what Zhang Heng had said.
