At that instant, every disciple present looked slightly shaken.
An elder's deadly oath!
And a fate oath at that!
Bai Dantai frowned slightly.
Just then, Luo Bin stepped forward.
"Elder Xiannan, wait." Luo Bin's tone was grave.
Bai Xiannan paused briefly.
At the same time, Luo Bin raised his hand, pointing two fingers toward the sky.
"I, Luo Bin, swear as the White Miao King of Three Perils Mountain: if there is even the slightest falsehood in my words, may Gu Poison Devouring condemn me to eternal damnation!"
"Last night, I disagreed with Mr. Xu's views and quietly returned from Elder Chen Hongming's mountain valley. When I reached the Main Hall, the Jade Clarity Peak Master appeared behind me. He told me in no uncertain terms that the relationship between Four-Rules Mountain and Divine Firmament Mountain was of paramount importance. The Main Peak would find it difficult to accept Four-Rules Mountain because Four-Rules Mountain was rebellious. Unless that rebellious qi was broken and Luo Xianshen suffered humiliation, Four-Rules Mountain would not be accepted."
"He said that neither his physical condition nor Divine Firmament Mountain's current circumstances allowed him to do anything out of line. For that very reason, it was enough for Four-Rules Mountain to establish ties with Jade Clarity Peak. The rest could be left to time, and to him to change!"
"Luo Xianshen was too stubborn. He asked me to persuade Luo Xianshen to take the Divine Firmament Four Sovereigns Mirror down the mountain!"
"I told him I would speak to Luo Xianshen the next day. Only then did he leave."
When Luo Bin finished speaking, silence fell over everyone once more.
He did more than speak. Gu worms had already crawled all over his arm, looking utterly vicious.
Bai Xiannan stood completely frozen, sweat still rolling down
