He was about to get up when he heard a voice from afar.
"Who are we supposed to save? Didn't we come back alive?” Jiang Ning said loudly.
Upon hearing that, everyone looked up and was greeted by the sight of Jiang Ning striding in assertively while exuding an aura of confidence and power.
Liu Zong and Liu Heng trailed meekly behind him like sidekicks, without a hint of authority at all.
Liu Chuandao couldn't help but think about how big the difference that separated Jiang Ning and his sons was.
He had two sons but neither of them was of any use. In fact, the both of them probably wasn't even a match for one-tenth of Jiang Ning.
They might not even rival Jiang Ning at one-hundredth of his abilities.
Everyone got to their feet and approached Jiang Ning hastily.
"Jiang NingI" Liu Qing was the first in line. She looked as if she was on the verge of tears. "Are you alright? Are all of you alright?"
She seemed to have realized how inappropriate it was to only show concern for Jiang Ning and rephrased her question hastily. However, she didn't spare a glance at Liu Zong or Liu Heng at all as her eyes remained fixed on Jiang Ning.
"Of course. What could happen to me?” said Jiang Ning.
"How did it go?" asked Liu Chuandao.
The elders stared fixedly at Jiang Ning.
"They agreed to a ceasefire." Jiang Ning nodded. "I have two months to deal with the gray fog. Once that is resolved, they will stop the fight."
Everyone had released a sigh of relief when they had heard that Jiang Ning had successfully negotiated a ceasefire. But the words that had left his lips after that had their hearts in their throats again.
Jiang Ning promised to solve the problem of the gray fog within two months?
Numerous sects had tried to address the problem over the course of decades to no avail, and here Jiang Ning was, promising to resolve it within two months.
Liu Zong and Liu Heng observed the expressions on everyone's faces quietly. That was the look that they had had earlier. It was like looking at a mirror.
"Jiang Ning, do you know anything about the gray fog?" the Senior Elder asked after a long moment of silence.
"Not at all," said Jiang Ning honestly. "I've not seen it. Why would I know anything about it?"
The Senior Elder's face paled instantly. He shook his head, then nodded. "That seems to make sense."
