Tang Wu's flashy redeployments seemed baffling on the surface, but in truth, he had laid two choices before Han Zheyue.
The first choice was for Green Feather Mountain to yield one mountain peak to the Tai Luo Sect, bringing the Dragon Spring Gathering to an end.
If Han Zheyue chose that, then everyone would be happy. But if she refused to accept this favor, then the second choice would arrive.
The Green Feather Mountain disciples who had gathered earlier would immediately launch an attack on the Tai Luo Sect's mountain peaks. With that Hunter Team present, even if they could not take down a peak, they would certainly inflict losses upon the Tai Luo Sect.
There were still more than ten days until the Dragon Spring Gathering ended. As long as that invincible Hunter Team remained, Green Feather Mountain could keep the initiative in its hands.
With the two choices laid before her, as long as Han Zheyue retained even a shred of reason, she would know which one to choose.
In the end, Han Zheyue did not stubbornly hold out. She sent several cultivators to occupy that ownerless mountain peak.
Do not underestimate a single mountain peak. Having one more or one fewer made a difference. With this extra peak, Green Feather Mountain held half the total alone; without it, they held only a little over forty percent...
Once word of this outcome spread, the Tai Luo Sect would be able to save a bit of face as well.
Only now did Qin Wanli finally understand all the twists and turns involved. He immediately began to shiver. These two old schemers had been battling wits here—he truly had been far too naive...
Now that they had reached a consensus, there was naturally no need to waste any more time.
