Three Letters

In such a setting, with such an identity, saying such words carried something of a fierce facade masking inner weakness.

Other than that, Yue Yuan had no other choice. He had never expected the Myriad Beasts Sect to flatly refuse to admit it and demand that he produce evidence. Where was he supposed to find any evidence?

When they played that card, there was truly little you could say without evidence.

After leaving the main hall and watching Yue Yuan's departing back, Xi Haitang let out a slight sigh of relief and turned his head to ask in a low voice, "They may be going to look for evidence. Is everything secure over there?"

Chao Jing replied quietly, "Rest assured, Sect Master. Everything has been arranged. They should know the consequences. If our people are exposed and leave us unable to save face, we may very well withdraw our support. That would do them no good. The three great sects will protect our people with all their strength and will not let them fall into the other side's hands."

Xi Haitang nodded slightly.

Yet news of Meng Shanming's defeat caused no small stir among the various kingdoms. It was not only the Yan Kingdom's three great sects that came to inquire; major forces from every kingdom expressed concern and asked whether the Myriad Beasts Sect had intervened in the war.

The three great sects of the Qi Kingdom and Wei Kingdom in particular even issued direct warnings to the Myriad Beasts Sect, warning it to set its position straight, or else not blame them for being impolite!

The situation was already obvious. The Yan Kingdom intended to beat the Song Kingdom into submission so they could join forces against the Han Kingdom. This would also stabilize the situation under heaven.
