Ting Chan was dead. He had nothing to make a bargain with Buddha Sect. But the sect leaders and elders of the remaining four sects were now in his hands. Luo Qi could destroy the sect that refused to submit to his rule.
Tve discussed with the Senior Elder. Even though this has nothing to do with Qingshan Sect, we can't just stand by and do nothing."
Their fates were bound with each other's. If one perished, so would the other. They knew how this worked.
Luo Qi wanted control over the five major sects and he wanted to unite them in power and strength. Who was he planning to attack with their forces?
It was probably Qingshan Sect.
Jiang Ning nodded.
"You're right. We can't stand by and do nothing." He gave everyone a look. "Let's go. I'll join you as well. Our top priority is to rescue the sect leaders and elders of the
other sects."
They had to do it not simply for Qingshan Sect but for the peace and safety within the mountain.
The peace and stability of the worlds within and beyond the mountain were equally important. Anything that affected one would affect the other too. Jiang Ning knew that very well.
He did not hesitate as he joined Liu Chuandao and Qingshan Sect in their charge to Tianlian Sect to rescue the rest.
Tianlian Sect was situated on a tall mountain that was obscured by thick clouds.
Towering majestically above a winding mountain range, the sect was an impenetrable fortress with strong defenses that could not be easily breached.
The path up the mountain was winding, long and ill-suited for mass armies who thought of attacking the sect. Elder Ting Feng frowned slightly at the sight of the endless mountain path. He was certain that they would be faced with numerous ambushes on their way up.
"What do we do now?" someone asked.
"Have the other sects taken action?"
"Not yet. They're probably trying to think of a plan.”
No one dared to abandon their chief and elders. These were the pillars of the sect.
If they died, the sect wasn't going to survive for long either.
Was submitting to Tianlian Sect's demands their only option?
Their chief and elders would be forced to become Tianlian Sect's puppets and for as long as they lived, remain under the control of the sect.
"We can't wait any longer," said Elder Ting Feng. "As soon as they surrender and pledge their loyalty to Tianlian Sect, Luo Qi, that scoundrel, will strike immediately.
Everything's going to be too late then."
