The Void Elder sighed. "I'm old. I no longer want to fight and kill. A peaceful resolution would be best. Go. I'll await your news. Tell Tianyuan City Lord that I'm not afraid of him. I'm doing this for the disciples of the Great Void Palace."
Lin Feng left the Great Void Palace and visited several other great sects. Some of their sect masters were willing to join, while others were not. Those willing to join all proposed similar conditions: their Orthodox Lineage must remain independent. Those who refused took a hard line, and some even tried to drive Lin Feng out.
