"It seems we can't drag this out too long. If breaking through the formations really takes several months, I think we might as well forget about this Longevity Pill," Pang Ji said.
"What do a few mere disciples matter?" Feng He spoke up. "Trading some disciples' lives for the Longevity Pill is worthwhile no matter how you look at it. Besides, we can split into two groups. One group breaks the formations here, while the other watches Imperial Remnant Manor's movements and keeps an eye out for anyone coming out. Wouldn't that do?"
If Pang Ji and the others withdrew, what use would it be for him to stay here alone?
"Split into two groups?" Mo Pozheng said coldly. "Wouldn't that make things even slower?"
And so, those present were divided.
Some thought they should devote all their efforts to breaking the formations, while others thought they could spare a group to watch Imperial Remnant Manor, lest it send people to launch covert attacks on their sects.
If Imperial Remnant Manor succeeded, the consequences would probably be more than even they could bear.
Whether they could secure the Longevity Pill in the end was still uncertain. They had no choice but to be cautious.
Imperial Remnant Manor's disciples soon reported what was happening here to Xuanyuan Xing and the others.
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Xing could not help laughing heartily. "Look, hardly any time has passed, and they're already about to fall out. Each of these old fellows has his own agenda. How could they possibly work as one?"
"You're right, Sword Master Ancestor." Xuanyuan Song laughed as well. "In my opinion, they'll have no choice but to slink away in a few days."
"We still can't let our guard down. Order our people to intensify surveillance," Xuanyuan Xing said.
