Chapter 168: Two old foxes.
The first ones to notice the intruders were the Nethermoon sect’s Hall of Justice’s enforcers.
When the first masked person was spotted in the inner sect, the alarm was immediately raised. Unfortunately no one expected the intrusion to be of such scale that it basically became an invasion.
The Nethermoon sect didn’t have walls. It encompassed too large territories for it to be practical.
But there was something better than a wall. The sect was subsidiary of the Celestial Abyss sect – the hegemon of this world. Basically this fact should’ve guaranteed that no sane person would ever dare to trespass it’s borders, but as it turned out, there were some daring people out there. And a lot.
When the fighting began all over the sect, Elder Wang, along with the elder of the Hall of Justice Luo Yanlong, appeared above the central square of the inner sect and watched the events in confusion mixed with anger.
Batches of tens of people seemingly appeared from nowhere, but when the alarm was raised, rifts began to open in several places one after another. They weren’t opened at the same time, though.
No, it was clear that only one rift gate was used, but the one who operated it clearly knew the layout of the sect and the best places to let the enemy charge in. And that included the outer sect.
The general rule of strong going against the strong and weak against the weak was mostly followed, indicating this was an organized attack from another sect. That, in turn, made it impossible to ask Celestial Abyss’s assistance.
The leader of the Celestial Abyss, Mo Tianyin loved when his subsidiaries experienced difficulties. He considered events like this to be the stepping stones on the path of growing stronger, and actually welcomed them.
"What do we do?" Elder Luo asked.
He was an expert in a direct fight if he had one strong opponent. He was also a great leader for the Hall of Justice. But he wasn’t really a general to lead an army.
