The elders tightened their fists as they suffered intense fury and helplessness that they had never experienced before.
They had thought of sending a group of men to serve as distraction while the rest of them attempted a charge into Tianlian Sect, but none of them could stomach the idea of sending their disciples to their deaths.
"Qingshan Sect is here!" Someone's voice thundered suddenly. Elder Ting Feng whipped his head up instantly.
Had Qingshan Sect arrived?
Why were they here?
"Chief Liu is here with his men!"
"Jiang Ning is here too!"
Jiang Ning?
Elder Ting Feng's heart fell from his throat back down into his chest when he heard the mention of Jiang Ning's name. He felt a strange and sudden lightness come over him, as if Jiang Ning's arrival was going to solve all their problems.
He had no idea why he felt that way.
Jiang Ning arrived within moments. Next to him was Liu Chuandao, Liu Zong and Liu Heng.
"Chief Liu, we weren't expecting you," said Elder Ting Feng. "The six sects had tried to attack Qingshan Sect in the past. Yet now, you're trying to save us."
"Our fates are bound with one another's." Liu Chuandao nodded. "Qingshan Sect is going to suffer too if Luo Qi gets what he wants. We're not doing this for you."
He spoken honestly, without attempting to conceal anything.
Elder Ting Feng nodded. He was still grateful.
"We're stuck here." He pointed at the forest ahead of them. "The forest is elevated. We don't know how many archers are hidden in there. They're really skilled. Quite a few of my disciples have died."
He gestured at his own hand. The bandages wrapped around it were soaked in blood.
Liu Chuandao took a look and frowned.
They were faced with archers whose shots even Elder Ting Feng couldn't dodge.
Where had Tianlian Sect found such incredible archers?
"That's going to cause us some trouble. Is this the only way up the mountain?" he asked.
"It is. There used to be another path at the back of the mountain but Tianlian Sect sealed it. This is the only way up now."
"Luo Qi must be waiting for the other four sects to surrender and submit to his rule. That would give him complete power over five sects. If that happens, he'll be able to do whatever he wants,” said Elder Ting Feng. "What worries me is the possibility that Luo Qi might not be the mastermind behind everything and that Mr Lang is the one pulling the strings all along."
