Lu Feng thought to himself that given the Azure Mountain Sword Sect's current state, with only the Three Elders remaining, however deep their bond might be, it would likely be difficult to single out one person to lead them all.
If any one of them could command everyone's respect, the Azure Mountain Sword Sect would not have remained fractured for so many years.
