Chapter 861: Submission
In the upper echelons of the North Sweeping Grand Army of the Dali Dynasty, many suggested launching a massive offensive to pursue Jade Sword Sect while they were weak. Even if they couldn't completely annihilate Jade Sword Sect, they could inflict heavy damage and eliminate its main forces.
Their argument had merit, as leaving a potential enemy alive could lead to future troubles.
For cultivators, thousands of years were nothing, and they would never forget past grievances.
Jade Sword Sect's decision to abandon its ancestral heritage and retreat overseas must be borne from deep resentment.
In the future, given the opportunity, they would undoubtedly return and cause trouble for the Dali Dynasty.
To prevent future threats, they had to uproot the problem and eradicate it entirely.
The commander of the North Sweeping Grand Army, Zhang Wei, held the rank of Grand Marshal and vetoed the proposal against the majority's opinion.
It wasn't that he wanted to spare Jade Sword Sect, but he didn't want to create unnecessary branches and complications.
With the strength and resources of Jade Sword Sect, once a war broke out, it would not end quickly.
