Chapter 80: Catching a turtle in a jar?
Grand Dao Sect’s words made the entire situation suddenly delicate.
"You’re saying that anyone who attacks Lu Ye—Grand Dao Sect will strike at them?" The Grand Elder of Jie Sect seemed as though he hadn’t heard clearly.
Grand Dao Sect’s Grand Elder Qin Youzhi gave a firm nod.
"That’s right. Lu Ye is our Grand Dao Sect disciple. If someone attacks a disciple of our sect, how could we possibly stand by and watch? Of course, we’ll help our own."
"He killed so many Jie Sect disciples—he’s committed a monstrous crime! And your Grand Dao Sect not only refuses to denounce him, but even protects such a fiend? How can you still call yourselves righteous?" roared the Yin-Yang Law Sect’s Grand Elder furiously.
"If he violated sect rules, we will punish him according to those rules. But he’s still a Grand Dao Sect disciple. If there is to be punishment, we will take him back to the sect to face our Sect Master’s judgment. If you’re unsatisfied, you may petition our sect. But if you lay hands on our ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) disciple—especially in such overwhelming numbers—we absolutely will not turn a blind eye."
"You’re going to start a civil war!"
"If a civil war begins, it won’t be us who started it. Protecting our disciples is not wrong!"
At this moment, Grand Dao Sect was showing unprecedented strength and clarity.
Honestly, anyone with half a brain could see Lu Ye’s value to the sect—those who couldn’t must truly have lacked perspective. He was the kind of genius who could lead Grand Dao Sect from second-tier status straight into the ranks of the top powers of the Nine Heavens.
Even if it cost them everything, even if they had to burn through all their resources, Grand Dao Sect would protect Lu Ye at all costs.
Supreme Sword Sect said nothing—but all their strongest quietly began drifting toward Grand Dao Sect’s side.
