"After this great calamity, how many of our fellow disciples will the Jie Sect lose?"
Zhao Gongming let out a long sigh, his face full of worry.
Even before Master entered Closed Door Meditation, everyone had received protective treasures. Clearly, this matter had weighed heavily on Master's mind as well.
Wudang's expression was solemn as she warned them earnestly, "Master only abandoned the Saint Fruit not long ago. All of you must remember: do not leave Golden Ao Island even half a step without permission!"

Jinling gave a cold laugh. "I'm only afraid that, with Master absent, someone will jump out and show off!"
"Reckless action would be nothing but throwing away one's life for free."

In the hearts of all the disciples, Li Tian was the sky, the anchor, the sole path to life amid utter desperation.

"It's nothing. I simply can't stand that arrogant, high-and-mighty face of the Chan Teachings!"
As soon as he spoke, a wave of suppressed indignation rose from all around.
"Well said!"
"What's even more hateful is that they dared disturb Master's peaceful cultivation!"
Wudang ground her teeth in agreement.
"The Chan Teachings will never let this go.
