"What? Submit?"
"Sect Master, you're not joking, are you?"
"What even is the Immortal Poison Sect? We've never even heard of it!"
"Our Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect has dominated the Chu Yun Empire for so many years. Why should we submit to some unknown sect?"
The elders all spoke at once, breaking into heated discussion.
Several hot-tempered Dou Wang elders even rose directly to their feet, anger written across their faces.
Xie Shan's expression was grim, but he said nothing.
"Presumptuous!"
Xie Biyan shouted sharply, releasing the aura of a Dou Zong!
All the elders were suppressed into silence, staring at Xie Biyan in shock.
"Ancestor, this..."
A Dou Emperor elder spoke hesitantly.
Xie Biyan swept a cold glance over everyone.
"I have already decided this matter."
"The Immortal Poison Sect's Sect Master is a peerless genius with unfathomable cultivation. Our submission will be a blessing, not a calamity."
"If anyone dares object..."
He did not finish his words, but the threat was unmistakable.
The elders looked at one another. If even their ancestor had said so, what else could they do?
Though they were unwilling, they could only accept reality.
Lu Xia stepped out from the shadows, with Dugu Mei following close behind.
When Xie Shan saw Dugu Mei's face clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Dugu Mei?!"
"How are you here?"
"Shouldn't you be at Wu Tian Manor?"
Halfway through speaking, he suddenly realized something.
Wu Tian Manor... the Immortal Poison Sect...
Could it be...
Dugu Mei gave him a seductive smile, radiating endless charm.
"Sect Master Xie Shan, it's been a long time~"
She offered no explanation, merely standing beside Lu Xia with a smile.
Xie Shan opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not dare ask.
Wu Tian Manor had most likely already been taken
