Zhou Family, Council Hall.
"Patriarch, this is Zhao Xiu, the Seventh Elder of Purple Sky Sect."
The refined-looking Wu Shi Hong pointed to the elegant, delicate-featured middle-aged woman beside him and introduced her to Zhou Ling.
"Greetings, Head Zhou!"
The middle-aged woman cupped her hands to Zhou Ling in salute.
"Senior Zhao, forgive me for failing to welcome you properly. Please, sit!"
Zhou Ling returned the salute courteously.
For the moment, he could not make sense of Wu Shi Hong's intentions.
After all, his relationship with Purple Sky Sect was sensitive at present.
At such a time, bringing an elder of Purple Sky Sect here for a visit...
Could he be here to act as a mediator?
Zhou Ling speculated inwardly.
Still, Wu Shi Hong was trustworthy enough. He would not do anything too outrageous.
He then poured Spirit Tea for the two of them.
"Elder Zhao and I were originally on good terms. She has now left Purple Sky Sect and wishes to join Lingxiao Sect. I wonder whether Patriarch is willing to accept her?"
Wu Shi Hong went straight to the point.
"Elder Zhao wishes to join Lingxiao Sect?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ling looked at Zhao Xiu with surprise on his face.
Zhao Xiu remained calm, her gaze cool and clear. She nodded slightly and said, "Purple Sky Sect has stood as a magnificent great sect for ten thousand years, consistently ranking among the top ten of the Dao Alliance's many sects."
"Yet now, under the Liu Family's leadership, it has actually disregarded the safety of our human race for selfish gain, colluding with foreign races to ambush those who have rendered merit to humanity."
"Such a Purple Sky Sect is no longer the Purple Sky Sect it once was. It is the Liu Family's Purple Sky Sect."
