"Those youngsters being unreasonable is one thing.
But you, an Honored Guest Elder, how could you also join in the foolery?
Yu Yan from Tiger Peak Manor died right in front of you, and you promised to help but couldn’t catch the culprit...
How do you expect me to address this?"
Qianjin Hall’s Grand Elder looked very displeased.
"This situation, we should never have been involved.
Once involved, it should have been resolved properly.
As an elder of our Qianjin Hall, you couldn’t even catch a junior.
Not only did it embarrass the sect, but Tiger Peak Manor probably lacks gratitude towards us and might even harbor resentment."
The Grand Elder spoke distressingly.
Hearing these, Elder Ding felt rather helpless as well.
"That young man was prepared for a long time, and I did not anticipate he would also employ an array for obstruction.
Moreover, this Shen Han does have some strength..."
"Don’t speak of these irrelevancies. Someone practicing the Old Cultivation Method,
how much strength could they have even if they did have some?
As an elder, you’ve embarrassed us greatly."
After reprimanding at length, it seemed the Grand Elder finally tired of the scolding.
"Let’s cease our involvement in this affair at Qianjin Hall.
Act as though nothing happened and let Tiger Peak Manor handle it as they wish; after all, it doesn’t really concern us.
To avoid making the situation more complicated."
The Grand Elder was deeply upset; if only Qianmu Fan and the others hadn’t tried to take part in this uproar,
this matter wouldn’t have had any ties to Qianjin Hall.
"Additionally, observe the stance of Five Immortals City on this.
This Shen Han, didn’t you say he was Five Immortals City’s direct disciple?"
This time, Tiger Peak Manor, regardless of his identity, will surely make a lethal move against him.
Go and find out how Five Immortals City plans to decide.
This old man presumes they wouldn’t dare to protect Shen Han.
But Shen Han, after all, still bears the title of a direct disciple of their Five Immortals City."
At this point, Elder Ding raised his eyes to look at the Grand Elder.
The two exchanged glances, and Elder Ding instantly understood the Grand Elder’s intention.
If Five Immortals City protects Shen Han, they will provoke that madman from Tiger Peak Manor.
If Five Immortals City does not protect Shen Han, then even their own direct disciples cannot be shielded.
No matter which direction it leans, it is extremely disadvantageous for Five Immortals City.
Especially if they cannot protect their own direct disciples, it would be a major blow to Five Immortals City.
Five Immortals City is a major sect, a crisis of such reputation and prestige is very severe.
The relationship between Qianjin Hall and Five Immortals City was never good.
Because of the disciple-snatching issue, the current relationship has further worsened.
Seeing Five Immortals City in trouble is naturally something they are pleased to witness.
As the news floated around, Five Immortals City naturally got wind of it.
Today.
Within the pavilion of Five Immortals City.
All elders have been called by the Vice Sect Leader.
Tiger Peak Manor has already released a statement, they will definitely make a move against Shen Han.
Regardless of Shen Han’s identity or status.
Killing a core disciple of Tiger Peak Manor, not to mention Shen Han being a mere disciple.
Even an elder from other sects would face their revenge.
In the pavilion, the Vice Sect Leader wore a stern face.
Surrounding elders remained silent, none willing to take the lead at this moment.
They understood the predicament Five Immortals City was facing.
However, Shen Han had introduced two genius disciples to the sect, thus having contributions to Five Immortals City.
