Jiang Ning's icy tone sent shivers coursing through Yun Zhongke's body.
Li Xuan stopped him before he could say anything.
"Jiang Ning, we thank you for saving our lives," said Li Xuan. "We agreed not to attack Qingshan Sect because you said you had a way to deal with the gray fog. Have you thought of a solution?"
Everything boiled down to that.
Their attack on Qingshan Sect, their desperation to leave the mountain and the reason why Tianlian Sect had imprisoned them all boiled down to that.
The only way to resolve everything was to get rid of the gray fog.
They were grateful to Jiang Ning for saving them, but this concerned the survival of the sects and was a concern that occupied their minds all the time.
"We've identified the root of the problem," said Jiang Ning. "The problem can only be solved after we have identified its source."
He gave everyone a look.
"You might be sect leaders and elders of powerful sects and possess incredible strength and power, but you're not really smart, are you? That's rather disappointing," Jiang Ning said tactlessly, insulting them with perfectly decent language devoid of any profanity.
None of the sect leaders dared to voice a word of protest.
If they had been smart enough, they wouldn't have been caught by Luo Qi and made to suffer such humiliation.
"Just tell us what you need us to do." Geng Jianba looked at Jiang Ning. He didn't enjoy wasting time on talking and he wasn't interested in whining. This was the situation that they had found themselves in and all that they could do was do the best they could with the cards that they had been dealt.
The fact that Jiang Ning had managed to get them out was a testament to his capabilities. Honestly, Geng Jianba was of the view that Jiang Ning was a lot more intelligent than all of them.
"Elder Ting Feng," said Jiang Ning. "You should tell them."
The elder nodded, then turned towards the group.
"We've been overlooking one person." The look on his face was severe. "Mr Lang."
"Mr Lang?" A few of them blurted out in unison. The name sounded familiar. In fact, some of them could distinctly remember having heard that name before. But they could not for the life of them remember what Mr Lang looked like.
"Who is he?" asked Yun Zhongke with a frown on his face. He was very sure that he knew that name, but somehow, he couldn't place a face to it.
"You don't remember what he looks like do you?" Elder Ting Feng could tell from the look on everyone's faces.
