The Clearwind Sect.
The sect leader stared gravely at the directive issued in Central Province's name.
The Clearwind Sect's involvement in the evil cultivator affair was already an established fact. After all, there was sufficient evidence.
How to handle what came next was now the top priority. They would certainly have to cut ties.
But if they truly followed the Central Province directive, Shangguan Hong, Elder Li, and the others under his command had all participated in the Evil Spirit Cult affair.
Then nearly half the Clearwind Sect's elders would have to be dealt with...
For the Clearwind Sect, that loss would also be an unbearable blow.
Still, this could be considered a good outcome for now. He had heard that the Wind Sword Sect... had already scattered, its members fleeing every which way, and its former grounds had been sealed off by Central Province.
They called it a Central Province blockade, but Central Province had merely ordered the other sects to cooperate, with Heavenly Derivation Sect disciples commanding the operation.
It would probably be several more days before anyone from Central Province actually arrived.
Those two Heavenly Derivation Sect disciples had actually investigated the matter thoroughly.
Every Wind Sword Sect disciple who had yet to escape was probably lining up for torture right now, with a crowd waiting to pry their mouths open and force them to reveal whether any other sects had been involved.
If they could extract information implicating a rival sect, wouldn't that be pure profit?
