Chapter 573: The Sacred Sword Palace Elicits Public Anger

Elder Xiang Gan paused briefly as he digested the words, and then slapped his thigh “Ole brother Yun Nie is a thoughtful one after all! We almost let such a loophole slip past us! Everyone, count up your people and report anyone from your sect who has yet to arrive! This is no s Gan was a highly principled person and i this rehtly when he saw that Elder Xiang Gan was e an ironclad oath He’d done all he’d could at this point, and had given all the re with an enor that he couldn’t change on his own Jiang Chen could only take things one step at a time So, he would just keep a careful eye on the situation, and expose the Tristar Sect at a suitable moment

He discreetly kept an eye on their reactions, and noted that the two Tristar Sect elders did indeed have a barely perceptible shadow flash past their brows after Elder Yun Nie’s speech Zhu Feiyang even frowned unconsciously Mei Ruoxi however, nodded lightly, quite in agreement with Elder Yun Nie

“It looks like Mei Ruoxi’s still in the dark Her level isn’t high enough to know” Their reactions wasChen to for absolutely knew the truth

Those who had yet to arrive were quickly tallied up There were two from the Tristar Sect, and one each from the Dark North Sect, Sacred Sword Palace, and Walkabout Sect

“I don’t care what et in contact with them immediately If you are unable to do so, you hts will be tolerated This isn’t aireater picture of the Myriad Doh, but indeed reasonable

Elder Wu Qi of the Walkabout Sect responded, “The other elder of our sect should be here shortly”

“There’s a disciplefroet in touch with hiain and include him within it whether alive or dead”

The Sacred Sword Palace also spoke up to report that they’d gotten in touch with their person and that they’d be here momentarily Only the Tristar Sect re, what of your Tristar Sect?” Elder Xiang Gan s extremely conflicted at the moment, but could only accept reality “The other elder of et in contact with disciple Ding Tong at theGan nodded, “Then we can only swear the oath again”

Elder Tan Lang was dejected, but he could only smile faintly “But of course”

The others all arrived after roughly another hour Apart fro of the Tristar Sect was also absent The other thirty eight candidates were all present, and they were ht, there are still tho are not here All of the various sects need to reaffir Gan was absolutely is Everyone ultiain under his supervision

Elder Tan Lang was the epitome of dejection Not only had they lost their loophole, but another alar? Even Zhu Feiyang found this odd, reat character, how could he possibly have e? However, neither Elder Tan Lang nor Zhu Feiyang knew that Ding Tong hadn’t done anything other than e Ding Tong was prideful by nature and didn’t thinkTherefore, there werehadn’t told the Tristar Sect at all

Such as the fact that he was also there on Third Senior Brother Yong Xingyun orders to kill Jiang Chen, for example He would never have been inclined to reveal this This was also why Elder Tan Lang and Zhu Feiyang wasn’t connecting his disappearance to Jiang Chen Even if they knew about it, they likely wouldn’t have thought that so Chen

Elder Xiang Gan only spoke again after verifying that there was nothing amiss with everyone’s oath “This is the thirteenth day, and the formations to the mountain will close in seven days Thus, time waits for no one I’d like to obtain everyone’s opinions now Do ait for the third batch to arrive before entering the ancient herb garden, or do we go in now?”

“No! Time is precious and we’ll only have five days left when the third batch enters It’s not worth it to waste three days waiting for theo in first Three days is s!”

This didn’t even need to be discussed at all Everyone advocated for entering right then

Elder Xiang Gan took a look around and shts But if we go in first, what of those who come after?”

“What about theht, we can’t pass up on this opportunity Why don’t we leave behind a few folks to wait for them?”

“Mhed softly “Who’s willing to stay?”

Everyone suddenly beca they hadn’t heard Who illing to stay? No one illing to give up the chance to enter the ancient herb garden It wasn’t fair no matter who stayed behind But they couldn’t not leave someone behind When the third batch entered and saw the pheno ns ofthe ancient herb garden Without the heavenly oath binding the

Elder Yun Nie thought momentarily “How about this, every sect will leave someone behind That’s fairest to everyone”

It was actually the Walkabout Sect as the first to agree to this proposal Elder Wu Hen nodded expressionlessly “I think this is fair The best is if the one who stays behind is an elder level personage Only this ill they be able to enforce restrictions on the third batch”

But now, the elder froree He was the only elder present from the Sacred Sword Palace If he stayed, then only three of the young disciples could enter, placing Sacred Sword Palace at a great disadvantage Of the eight froal Pill Palace and the Walkabout Sect, they’d all entered within the first two batches It wasn’t critical whether they had one arden

“That would be inappropriate There’s only four of us here fro behind the only elder for the three youngsters to go in isn’t fair” The Sacred Sword Palace elder shook his head

However, none of the other sects agreed Apart from the Sacred Sword Palace, the others had more or less a full complement present Apart from the Tristar Sect, all of theal Pill Palace and Walkabout Sect even had all eight of their people there Although the Tristar Sect and Dark North Sect had each lost a person, there were still six each froroups There was also six present from the Great Cathedral Only the Sacred Sword Palace had just four
