Luo Long stepped forward and pretended to knock Luo Qi out with a blow to the back of his neck.
"Guards!" He yelled. "Lock the chief up!"
Fury colored his face. The other elders looked equally livid.
Luo Qi might be the chief of the sect, but even the chief wasn't allowed to disrespect the ancestors. This was an act of blasphemy! It was a grave crime!
Jiang Ning had knocked Luo Qi out earlier but Luo Long had concealed that fact with his timely blow. Luo Qi lay motionlessly on the floor right now.
"I'm glad everything worked out.” Luo Long released a sigh of relief secretly. He wondered how powerful Jiang Ning truly was. The man had managed to knock Luo Qi out without injuring the latter.
He must be way more powerful than Luo Qi.
"He's a monster," cursed Luo Long. It seemed reasonable that he wasn't Jiang Ning's match.
They restored the tablets to their rightful places immediately. The elders got down on their knees then and sought their ancestors' forgiveness.
After some time, they finally got up and left the ancestral hall quietly.
"What should we do now?" Everyone eyed Luo Qi's prone form. "The chief's broken the rules of our sect with his actions."
This wasn't a mere misdemeanor. Anyone else would have been executed on the spot.
"He's still the chief. Let's lock him up, then discuss what we're to do with him," said Luo Long.
This wasn't the time to deal with Luo Qi. Besides, he was the chief of Tianlian Sect and the most powerful man in the sect. They couldn't just kill him.
He had been manipulated and used.
His top priority was to assist Jiang Ning in freeing the other sects' sect leaders and elders. They would need to put up a performance and it had to be sufficiently realistic that Mr Lang believed it.
Luo Long was the one who was in charge now. He immediately made changes to the sect's defenses.
Under the guise of strengthening the sect's defenses, he secretly created loopholes that would aid Jiang Ning's rescue mission.
