"Everyone from the West Sea, it's your turn now. I don't need to teach you how to beat a drowning dog, do I?"
Li Ling did not pursue them himself. Instead, he took out a Jade Talisman and transmitted his orders to the West Sea cultivators following close behind.
This time, he had also forced Jade Lang Mountain to send a contingent to help. Each person had been assigned a quota, as though taking on a contracted task. Only completing it would bring a happy outcome.
The elders had previously declared with absolute conviction, "We are duty-bound." If they could not even handle this, then once the crisis here was resolved, it would be time to purge them.
