Chapter 621: Six hundred twenty, Agreement
Liu Yunshan managed, with great difficulty, to extricate himself and come before Song Yan Ning and her companions. Today was his day, the Sky Heart Sect’s most glorious occasion. Those who had looked down upon him were now all wearing flattering smiles, cozying up to him. He knew that all of this was brought to him by Song Yan Ning and the others.
"Thank you all!" Liu Yunshan said gratefully as he looked at Song Yan Ning and her group.
Song Yan Ning shook her head, "We helped you for our own sake, Sect Master Liu, and in truth, this isn’t necessarily a good thing for you."
"Why?" Liu Yunshan asked, puzzled as he looked at Song Yan Ning.
"Now that the Sky Heart Sect has us, others don’t dare to move against the sect. But once we leave, how long can the Sky Heart Sect sustain itself with its current strength?" Song Yan Ning had considered this issue even before entering the competition.
Liu Yunshan fell silent. Song Yan Ning was right—if they stayed with the Sky Heart Sect, it would undoubtedly grow stronger, but once they left, his own strength was simply not enough to protect the sect. Before, the Sky Heart Sect was in decline, so much so that other sects looked down upon it and disdained even to take action against it. But now, after the Sky Heart Sect had drawn attention to itself in the competition for places and offended many forces, how could those powers let the Sky Heart Sect off the hook once she and the others left?
"Is there a solution?" Liu Yunshan looked towards Song Yan Ning. Since she had brought it up, she must have already thought of a strategy.
"The Mo Feng Sect." Song Yan Ning said, her lips curving into a smile: "The Mo Feng Sect Master was killed, and now it’s a time when the Mo Feng Sect is like a dragon without a head. If we take down the Mo Feng Sect and make it part of Sky Heart Sect’s power, then no one will dare to move against the Sky Heart Sect in the future."
Liu Yunshan’s eyes lit up, but then quickly dimmed again, "With Sky Heart Sect’s current strength, how could it possibly seize the Mo Feng Sect?" The Mo Feng Sect was one of Lingyue City’s great sects, and even with its sect master gone, its strength was not to be underestimated.
"Do you really want it?" Song Yan Ning asked Liu Yunshan. She wanted to establish a power base here. If Liu Yunshan lacked the ability, she would find someone else.
