A female Grand Elder, however, reminded them coldly, "The Innate Religion is still our ally, after all."
"If those five scourges of the False Dao aren't eliminated, weakening the Innate Religion may not be a good thing."
"If the entire False Dao were already wiped out, with no threat remaining, then even if Pei Ling slaughtered every last person in the Innate Religion, it would be cause for great celebration!"
"No," said a Grand Elder who looked like a youth, his tone mild. "The Holy Son of the Chongming Sect, Pei Ling, is our ally as well."
"Since he alone was able to slay Ji Lu, it's clear that this junior is more important to saving the world than the current leader of the Innate Religion."
"When the Anti-Pseudo War begins, with the Chongming Sect as our vanguard, we'll surely sweep through our enemies like a broken bamboo, invincible wherever we go!"
"The female cultivators on the list are all ready. They can be sent to Pei Ling at any time."
"Only, there's the matter of the Eternal Night Desert..."
At this, everyone fell silent for a while. Then the Grand Elder at the end of the row spoke again. "Something has definitely gone wrong in the Eternal Night Desert."
"But we can't venture deep inside at present, so it's difficult to investigate what happened to the seal."
"This matter is of great importance. We can't keep putting it off."
"We should ask the Patriarch to emerge from seclusion and report the matter to him in person."
Hearing this, the Great Pagoda Edict pondered carefully for a moment and was about to nod when he suddenly sensed something. He immediately raised his head and looked in one direction.
At the same time, the Grand Elders sensed the disturbance as well.
