Chapter 1073 - The Last Preparations (1/2)
Fei Bai Mu handed Xiao Yu over to one of her older disciples who then went outside with the disciples of the Liu He Alliance, leaving Fei Bai Mu, Hua Min, and the two Elders of the Liu He Alliance alone.
Fei Bai Mu waited for the door to close behind them before she nodded. ”Very well, let's get straight to the point then. As I mentioned to Alliance Head Hua before, people of the dragon race will come over to take part in the trial.
”You can imagine that this means that nothing can go wrong. I really doubt that the demon-hunting sects will dare to do anything in front of them but we still need to ensure that we keep a close eye on all of them. And I really mean all of them. While we only have concrete evidence on the wrongdoings of the Chun Feng Sect for the most part, I think it is a given to all of us that quite a few of the others aren't innocent either. We can't very well predict what is going to happen.”
Hua Min nodded at that. ”There aren't too many demon-hunting sects though. If each of us watches two or three of them, we should be able to deal with it easily. Especially since they also only come over with a small group. Also, not all of them are equally worrisome. We should probably talk with the others about which one to look out for the most.”
One of the Elders couldn't help but chime in at that moment. ”Is it clear yet when the people of the dragon race will appear? The sects are arriving one after the other. Who knows when the demon-hunting sects will come here? If they are here when there aren't enough people on our side, then that could be troublesome.”
Fei Bai Mu gave a hum at that. ”That is indeed true. I will have some disciples keep an eye on them for the time being. As for the question of when the dragon race will arrive … To be honest, I'm not quite sure.
”It is different than with the sects. Asking a sect to come isn't much of a problem, especially since most of them were already in the know about the situation. Ordering the people of the demon-hunting sects to come here is also not a difficult matter since this pertains to them directly. Not coming … They would stand against the entire, righteous cultivation world from now on.
”But the dragon race is different. We can invite them to come but we can't order them. In fact, I feel that it is already very lucky that they agreed to our request. They wouldn't have needed to do it.”
The people from the Liu He Alliance nodded, all feeling that this really was very good. Things would be much easier with people from the dragon race around. The only worry was that these people might be angered by whatever the demon-hunting sects would say and do.
Hua Min couldn't help but give Fei Bai Mu a thoughtful look. ”The one who will come …”
Fei Bai Mu shook her head in answer to what he actually wanted to know before she gave an answer for the Elders. ”I do not know. From what I gathered, the two people that I spoke to that day were directly associated with the dragon king. I don't know if they will take the pains to come here themselves but it might be.”
