I'll Handle It Myself

The Central Plains was simply too vast, with far too many factions. Their interests intertwined and their roots ran deep; compared to the tiny Gamma Empire, the situation here was undoubtedly a hundred times more complicated.

I sighed, feeling rather helpless. If I had not gone looking for Heavenly Flame Venerable and had simply returned to Starfall Pavilion with Wind Venerable and Xiao Yan, I would have seen Wu Hall Master's letter sooner. Everything could have been stopped in time.

But then again, if I had not gone looking for Heavenly Flame Venerable and had not happened to bring Xun Er and the others along, we might not have been able to handle the combined forces of the Hall of Souls and Ice River Valley. Compared with the colossal Hall of Souls, my strength was still far too weak.

"No matter what, we should go take a look at Burning Flame Valley!"

I swept my burning gaze over everyone present. "Burning Flame Valley has stood on the continent for thousands of years. They are certainly no easy opponent. Even if the Hall of Souls and Ice River Valley join forces, they may not necessarily be able to do anything to Burning Flame Valley."

One Starfall Pavilion Elder disagreed, muttering, "What if the Hall of Souls uses a feint attack? The Pavilion Master could lead people to rescue Burning Flame Valley, only for the Hall of Souls to launch a surprise attack on Starfall Pavilion Mountain Gate. What then? We can't sacrifice Starfall Pavilion itself just for one Burning Flame Valley, can we?"

As soon as he said this, several Starfall Pavilion Elders nodded in agreement. People were selfish. Compared to Burning Flame Valley, they naturally cared more about Starfall Pavilion. This was where their foundation lay.

I felt somewhat irritated.
