130 Not One to Stab Them in the Back (1/2)

Sect Master Zhang had decided to have everybody informed in the end. Regardless of what was behind this matter and what it would mean for Mei Chao Bing's decision, he felt that this was the right choice to make on his part. The four major righteous sects were in this together so they should also work together.

Informing the Jian Chu Sect was definitely necessary. After all, it could be that they were deliberately being targeted alongside the Teng Yong Sect. As for the other two sects, he had also told the Elders to inform them. Even though they hadn't found any clues that the sects were being targeted as well, there was still a high chance that they were without their knowledge.

It was better to tell them so they could take some precautions than to keep quiet and maybe cause them to be taken by surprise and come to harm that way. After all, it was better to be safe than sorry.

As for mentioning Mei Chao Bing's name … He felt about this just like the two Elders: It would be better if it wasn't brought up for the time being. Otherwise, the other sects might get suspicious that there was something fishy happening.

Now, Elder Xing and Elder Baili had to tell their disciples about what had happened and then send some of the disciples as emissaries.

The one to step forward was Elder Xing. Just in case that somebody would ask them questions about Mei Chao Bing's role in this, it would be better for him to answer this than for Elder Baili to do so considering the relationship between Mei Chao Bing and Yun Bei Fen. They didn't want anybody to say that they were biased.

He cleared his throat and looked at the disciples that had all quieted down. ”The previous days have brought us some insights into the plans of the demonic practitioners even though we still don't have a clear picture of this. So far, there were two vital clues found in two of the assigned areas.

”While one of these clues is including the symbol of the Jian Chu Sect, the other clue is a hidden map of the territory of our own Teng Yong Sect. It is not quite clear what the demonic practitioners are trying to do with this but the conclusion that they are specifically targeting us is almost inevitable. There is also a very high likelihood that the other two major sects on our righteous side will be included in their plans as well even though we haven't yet managed to find clues as to how that might be the case.

”In the next days, we want you to focus on looking for clues in this direction. Make sure to not only search on the surface but also to dig deeper. The clues will very likely be hidden.”

The disciples exchanged glances, unsure what to make of that. It wasn't anything new that the demonic practitioners were targeting the righteous sects but this time, one of the clues pointed at their own sect and it was even a map of the territory. That was much graver than the symbol of the Jian Chu Sect being used.

One of the disciples couldn't help but step forward. ”Elder Xing, if the demonic practitioners have a map of our Teng Yong Sect, could it be that they intend to attack us?”
