Thus, Shen Xiu and the others remained outside the Heaven Sword Sect's mountain gate, waiting for the right moment.
Meanwhile, at the Heaven Sword Sect's Sect Master's Mansion.
"Sect Master, why did you let those people go? Are they really that terrifying? Are even we incapable of dealing with them?"
A Heaven Sword Sect disciple spoke angrily.
The Heaven Sword Sect Master said, "Hmph, the Shen family is indeed somewhat formidable. Their patriarch is even at the peak of the Divine Emperor realm. We are not yet their match."
"But no matter how powerful they are, what can they do? They still cannot escape our pursuit. When the time comes, we can kill them here. How could our strength be something ants like them can contend against?"
"Yes, the Sect Master is wise."
That Heaven Sword Sect disciple hurriedly flattered him.
"Hehe, this time, the Shen family patriarch personally came to our Heaven Sword Sect. I believe they must be harboring some scheme, seeking to drive a wedge between us and the Shen family. That is why I have to stay on guard. If relations between our Heaven Sword Sect and the Shen family turn sour, then even if the Shen family has an expert at the peak of the Divine Emperor realm, we will still have ways to deal with them."
The Heaven Sword Sect Master spoke slowly.
"Sect Master, you mean?" one disciple asked.
"Send people to watch the Shen family. Report their whereabouts to me at all times. No matter what they are doing, we must be able to keep track of their movements at any moment. Then we can make our decision."
That Heaven Sword Sect disciple answered respectfully, "Yes, Sect Master!"
"Alright, disperse," the Heaven Sword Sect Master said with a wave of his hand.
