Strictly speaking, Yu Baiyi still had some doubts as to whether the other side could break Jade Ruins' Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation.
After all, this grand formation had stood for over a thousand years. It had seen even Golden Core cultivators, let alone Emergence from Dust cultivators. Though the End of Dharma Era had left spiritual energy depleted and Daoist arts in decline, for an Emergence from Dust cultivator to break the formation—wasn't that a bit overestimating himself?
But at a time like this, he absolutely could not take the wrong stance. "Please rest assured, Adept. Jade Ruins will never shield such criminals."
"Simply not shield them?" Tang Wenji sneered. "Jade Ruins calls itself the leader of the Daoist Order. Its usual plundering and extortion might be one thing, but now someone has colluded with foreign barbarians, and all you have to say is that you won't shield them?"
Yu Baiyi knew that she was the Azure Mountain Little Celestial Master, and he also knew where her resentment came from. So he stated decisively, "Fellow Daoist Tang, rest assured. Jade Ruins will have to give everyone an explanation."
Just then, someone gave a cold snort. "Jade Ruins cannot give everyone an explanation, and Fuluo Mountain will not accept this."
Zhang Dongyuan followed closely behind. "Allure Mountain will not accept it either..."
In the end, Yu Baiyi had no choice but to leave in embarrassment. "You are all outstanding figures of the Daoist Order. We will definitely provide an explanation."
"There needs to be a time limit," someone from the Jade Sect spoke up. At this moment, even they were no longer supporting Jade Ruins.
"An explanation after one day is still an explanation. So is one after ten days... and even ten years would still count as an explanation."
