Just only the aforementioned mystical beasts were enough toannihilate an entire sect, let along….

All the ones that had ideas dare not utter another word any more.

“Sect Master, are you saying that all we can do is to sit on ourhands and watch?”

His words was full of unfulfilled desired and unreconciled feelings.Everybody wants the treasures, but one must have the ability to claim them.

“We can also reach out to the other sects and see how they want toproceed?”

“Yes! We can form an alliance and then head toward Willow Village tocheck it out!”

“Sect master, we already have someone stationed at Willow, we have anedge than the others!”

“……”

Everybody had lots of ideas and n.o.body want to give it up.

“I don’t see any reason to report to the four top powers; whetherthey are involved or not, it won’t gain us anything. Not to mention that theycertain have a pretty good idea of what is going on out there.”

The sect master thought about it for a bit and expressed his ownopinion, “We may be able to mention the idea of an alliance in a subtle manner,but we don’t want to take the lead on it. If someone else wants the leaderrole, we will hand it over happily!”

“Sect master, why would we want to do that?”

“Oh?” The sect master looked straight at him with a deep look andasked, “And why not? What is your reasoning behind your statement?”

“Ugh….” Being looked at like that by the sect master, the personimmediately started breaking out into cold sweat and dare not share hisreasonings.

“Remember, the Cheng’s are no easy target. If we want to be a part ofthe action, we better not cross the line. The Cheng’s had sent out words thatthey will be selling their mystical animals and spring water in a month and ahalf. The alliance should get into the action. It’s best I we can trade withthem!”

“This, Sect master, we might be able to trade with them once ortwice. But in a long run, I am not sure we will be able to sustain that. Aboutthis issue….”

“You are overthinking it!” The sect master cut him off. With asarcastic look in his eyes, he said, “In a long run? So many things happeneveryday and lots of accidents. Who can be sure of what the future holds?”

Before they could say anything else, the sect master waved his handand said, “That’s all I have to say. Elder Xue, you take charge of the alliancematters. I trust that the other sects have caught wind by now. They will be actingsoon!”

“Yes, Sect master!”

“Dismiss!”

An order from the sect master and the elders dispersed one by one. Asfor what was going on in the minds of these individuals, he couldn’t care less.

Inside a small town somewhere!

Inside a room of an inn, a man in his power suit fetched out a leaderwater bottle. His expression a bit hesitant, as though he was debating aboutsome tough decisions.

The time of one incense, two, then three had pa.s.sed. As time pa.s.sed,it was the late evening (between 7 to 9 PM), his undecisive look became moreand more decision, a spark of madness could be seen in his eyes.

He twisted open the bottle, a strong aroma of

qi

came from thewater in the bottle. He took a deep breathe immediately and he lookedpleasantly surprise. Just when he was about to drink it, a strong

qi

came from the room next to him.

In the next minute, the locked door was shocked pen by the

qi

.And immediately after that, an old man in a grey robe flashed inside. Beforethe man even knew what had happened, the bottle in his hand was sent flying.

The series of actions didn’t allow the young man to react at all.When he recovered from his shock, the unknown old man looked deeply shocked andthen looked again at the stunned young man.
