"Before entering seclusion, Ancestor Five Elements specifically instructed us that the Alliance had to stand united as one. Since someone wants to court death—"
Li Yunjing rose and walked to the window, gazing toward the distant meeting hall. "Then I'll kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so every Nascent Soul Realm True Person knows that the Alliance's interests come first!"
"Brother Li, just say the word! What should we do?"
A flash of cold light crossed Wen Bin's eyes. He said grimly, "Should I ask the Ancestor to return from the front lines and take care of Qingmingzi?"
"Hmm! That would work too!"
Li Yunjing pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Originally, he had planned to ask several of his fellow sect elders to deal with Qingmingzi. But since Wen Bin had offered to help, Li Yunjing was more than happy to accept.
This was even better!
Having someone from another sect take action would show that the entire Alliance stood with him.
Otherwise, if he relied on people from the Divine Firmament Dao Sect, it would give those below an excuse to gossip. Who knew what sort of false rumors they might spread?
They might claim that the Divine Firmament Dao Sect was monopolizing power and suppressing Rogue Cultivators, or that Li Yunjing was jealous of the capable and was suppressing the other sects!
Such things might sound plausible, but they would be ugly to hear!
The more you tried to explain, the more troublesome it became!
If True Person Flying Cloud was willing to step in, no one else would have anything to say.
Just as Li Yunjing was about to give him a few instructions and explain his plan, the Ten Thousand Mile Communication Talisman at his waist suddenly trembled.
Li Yunjing's expression shifted.
