Chapter 2343 - Requesting Aid
After a while, Wen Ruoxue asked softly, “What do you think I should do next, Sect Leader?”
“Leave the sect,” said Ling Qingfeng.
“Leave?” Wen Ruoxue was a bit confused.
“You spent three years locked in bloody combat with the Church of the Black Cloud, and you slew many of their warriors. If we submit, you and your companions will be the first people they target,” said Ling Qingfeng with the utmost solemnity. “When the time comes, the spineless cravens in our ranks will sell you out without hesitation to curry favor with the Church of the Black Cloud. Thus, you’d best leave now while you still can!”
Wen Ruoxue’s gaze was conflicted.
They’d fought for three years, bathed in blood, losing many of their companions. Who could have imagined that after all they’d sacrificed, they’d receive only retribution in the end?
Suddenly, the sound of cheering emanated from beyond the grand hall.
The oppressive atmosphere that had enveloped the sect for the past three years vanished completely.
Wen Ruoxue felt indescribable grief. We just surrendered. Why are they all so happy?
“It’s grating to the ears, isn’t it?” said Sect Leader Ling Qingfeng.
Wen Ruoxue nodded woodenly.
“People have to experience setbacks if they are to progress. The same is true for sects,” said Ling Qingfeng. “Just wait. When the Church of the Black Cloud takes control of our sect, all of those spineless cravens will discover that becoming servants of the church will only worsen their situation. They’ll naturally understand then.”
