The Supreme Clarity Sect had often looked after Penglai Pavilion and the other righteous sects. Yet when it needed help most, they had all chosen to shut themselves away.
If shutting themselves away could truly keep them safe, their decision would have been merely callous.
But it could not. This was no prudent self-preservation, only ostriches burying their heads in the sand. Once the Black Heaven Cult destroyed the Supreme Clarity Sect and grew stronger, it could turn around and wipe out the other righteous sects, Penglai Pavilion included.
Rationally speaking, Bai Xiaowen had only helped Penglai Pavilion see the situation clearly and set it on the right path of joining the fight. Of course, Penglai Pavilion would not thank him. In private, its people probably wished he would drop dead on the spot.
Bai Xiaowen asked, "Where is the Black Heaven Cult Leader now?"
Chen Rong said, "He's left Penglai Pavilion's main island. We don't know where he went."
After hearing that the Siege of the Supreme Clarity Sect had failed and Qiu Zhenli had died in battle, the Black Heaven Cult Leader could hardly keep his attention fixed on Penglai Pavilion.
With the elite followers the Black Heaven Cult had amassed over the years wiped out and its allied Giant Savage Soldiers having switched sides, the balance of power between the cult and the righteous sects had reversed.
Bai Xiaowen said, "The Black Heaven Cult Leader may have returned to his stronghold."
Chen Rong agreed. "Now is the perfect chance to rally our allies and press our advantage. If we destroy the Black Heaven Cult, we can end this once and for all."
Bai Xiaowen promptly received a notification.
