c722: 697: The Admonition Assembly of Five Immortals City

The resources sent from Tiger Peak Manor to Five Immortals City have already been distributed.

When these resources were previously acquired, many people in Five Immortals City felt quite pleased.

Suddenly gaining so many resources naturally made them happy.

But now, with the news spreading, those who received the resources are starting to worry.

Even a regular disciple of Five Immortals City knows what it means to be able to defeat You Wanying’s Poisonous Mist Incarnation.

Perhaps, Five Immortals City will have to return the resources to Tiger Peak Manor.

The possibility is not low.

This is what those who took the resources are worried about now.

If the resources are returned to Tiger Peak Manor, will they have to return what was distributed to them before...

These days, Five Immortals City is in chaos.

Various rumors are flying around everywhere.

Shen Han’s outstanding performance has caused the Vice Sect Leader to lose face badly.

After the news reached him, even the Vice Sect Leader felt a bit anxious.

In his high position, he wouldn’t usually be bothered by such matters.

But now, Shen Han has made him feel a sense of crisis.

Helping Tiger Peak Manor track Shen Han’s whereabouts is essentially making an enemy of Shen Han.

If Shen Han uses the same methods on Five Immortals City as he did on Tiger Peak Manor, what should be done...

Vice Sect Leader’s small courtyard.

Over these few days, the Vice Sect Leader has already declined many visitors.

Alone in the courtyard, he even sent away his attendants and servants.

Because of Shen Han’s affair, many people in the sect have criticized him.

Moreover, Dean Sixin and Elder Sizhi’s departure is also a result of this incident.

So much has been sacrificed just to gain some resources, just to maintain his vice sect leadership’s authority.

Now, to return the resources and cut ties with Tiger Peak Manor?

If it indeed happens that way, then his vice sect leadership’s authority would be completely lost.

After that, any decision he makes will be questioned by more people.

For someone in a high position, admitting their mistakes is difficult, and that’s where the challenge lies.

Without prestige, leading others becomes difficult.

What the Vice Sect Leader is considering now is how to protect his authority and prestige.

It’s already past noon, and the courtyard gate is knocked upon.

Sitting upright in the courtyard, the Vice Sect Leader doesn’t respond.

His brows are tightly furrowed, showing some anger.

He had already told his servants that he didn’t want to see anyone these days.

Yet, knowing that he didn’t want to see anyone, someone still came knocking.

In a sense, this is a challenge to his authority.

The courtyard remained silent, but the knocking continued.

The ’thud, thud, thud’ of knocking continued for a quarter of an hour.

Suddenly, the courtyard gate finally opened.

"What, does what I say no longer count?

Do I really have to meet with you all?"

At the gate stood several young disciples who had come knocking.

Behind the young disciples was an Elder.

This Elder was obviously very clever, bringing in young disciples to knock so as not to directly offend the Vice Sect Leader.

Seeing the Vice Sect Leader’s face full of anger, Elder Liu quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Vice Sect Leader, this disturbance was not my intention..."

"Then tell me, who instigated this?

Are you trying to strip me of the Vice Sect Leader’s title as well?"

As he spoke, the Vice Sect Leader’s face carried a trace of anger.

The incident with Shen Han, the Vice Sect Leader knew, would definitely have a massive impact on him.

But he hadn’t expected it to come so quickly and fiercely.
