At Chijingzi's retreat to advance, Elder Lieyang frowned slightly.
He seemed somewhat displeased.
The reason the Sun God Sect had invited vassal forces such as the Red Flame Sect to this Assembly of Myriad Nations—
Was also to deliberately display the Sun God Sect's current strength and bolster its prestige.
After all, in recent years, the Sun God Sect had steadily declined.
It had long since ceased to be the Yan Chi Dynasty's strongest force.
Under such circumstances,
Many people had long lost their fear and respect for the Sun God Sect.
This greatly displeased the Sun God Sect.
As the saying went, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse.
A centipede did not stop wriggling even after death.
No matter how far the Sun God Sect had fallen, it was still a renowned major power.
Thus, for this Assembly of Myriad Nations,
The Sun God Sect wanted to win over every force it possibly could.
To stand behind them and lend them support.
To flex its muscles before others and show that it was still strong.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the Red Flame Sect's withdrawal was something Elder Lieyang did not wish to see.
So he said,
"Just this once. There will not be a next time."
"In my opinion, it is time you replaced this Holy Maiden as well."
Elder Lieyang decided that once this matter was over,
He would slowly settle accounts with the Red Flame Sect.
For now, stability had to come first.
Seeing that Elder Lieyang would not pursue the matter, Chijingzi said nothing more.
After all, Su Qianyuan had followed Xu Zimo aboard the imperial treasure ship,
Instead of the Sun God Sect's treasure ship.
That behavior was indeed somewhat improper.
But he could not afford to offend either side. What else
