War Calamity
"Impossible!" The old hall master shot to his feet, his eyes bulging round as fish eyes. The disciples and elders he had brought along were so startled they nearly dropped the communicators in their hands!
"This... Uncle-Master Lu, is the message sent to every sect member genuine? How could the Chenyang Sect possibly do something like this?" Huaxia Yue was utterly shocked as well.
My heart gave a jump. What on earth happened? The Chenyang Sect was the sect Li Poxiao, Wan Songxiao, and Ni Shi had gone to. Could it be that their sect had done something terrible?
"Master, the Chenyang Sect has defected to an enemy sect. Is this news reliable?" The young Elder He could not sit still after all, so he immediately sought confirmation from his master. My heart tightened too. If the Chenyang Sect had defected to an enemy sect, wasn't that outright rebellion?
"The sect-wide communication wouldn't be false. By the looks of it, there's an eighty- or ninety-percent chance this is true. Otherwise, they wouldn't have told us to classify the Chenyang Sect as an enemy force as well. Who would've thought? After all these years of dealing with the Chenyang Sect, we're turning against them starting today!" The old hall master's round eyes sank, and a grave expression emerged on his face.
"Wasn't the Xingyue Sect suspected...? How did it suddenly become the Chenyang Sect directly defecting to the enemy?" I reminded them at just the right moment. Sect Master Lü Qiu had previously said that the Xingyue Sect was suspected of harboring ulterior motives, but now the Chenyang Sect had directly defected to the enemy. This was enough to blow the lid off everything. I could use this matter to indirectly cover up the deaths of Luo Qingjun
