Because they previously promised the Sect Leader to kill these people before them and not let them take a step into the sect.
Just a moment ago, letting Yue Chan and the others leave actually went against the Sect Leader’s wishes.
But there’s one thing, they couldn’t defeat them.
Unable to kill the opponent, it was even harder to stop them outside the gate.
So now calling the Sect Leader out to handle the situation is a most reasonable course of action.
Even if the Sect Leader didn’t want to come out, she had to.
After all, she is the sect leader.
The most crucial point is, she has been the Sect Leader for only a few days, and if she doesn’t step onto this, it would be unreasonable.
As for thereafter, she can do as she pleases.
A ruthless hand?
It probably won’t happen.
After all, the sect needs the three of them.
However, the sect didn’t anticipate things turning out this way.
They never expected this.
A bit around 500 meters away, Yue Ying stood alone atop a tall building.
From there, she could clearly see what was happening in front of the mountain gate.
Though she couldn’t hear the sounds, she could see the situation seemed to be at a standstill.
At this moment, her complexion looked a bit unpleasant, and she couldn’t help but emit a killing intent, speaking gloomily, "Are these three old immortals doing this on purpose?"
As soon as she uttered that, she looked towards a corner.
From that corner, a silhouette immediately flashed.
If any other disciples of the sect saw this scene, they’d be absolutely terrified and shocked.
Because this person was a man.
The sect was virtually always forbidden to men unless with special permission from the Sect Leader, and the entire sect’s disciples must be informed.
But neither the old Sect Leader nor the new Sect Leader Yue Ying had ever informed the disciples of this matter.
Meaning there were essentially no men in the sect.
Now, however, appeared a person.
Hence, this was not allowed.
Yet Yue Ying being aware meant this person was the mysterious Innate Powerhouse Leng Qin mentioned before.
"Most likely so!" The man was relatively handsome, though the wrinkles on his face indicated his age wasn’t small.
As he spoke, he sneered and walked behind Yue Ying.
His hand directly wrapped around her waist.
.......
There was no resentment at all from Yue Ying.
Instead, her face was filled with enjoyment.
About a minute later, a hint of contempt flashed in the man’s eyes.
Yue Ying immediately sat weakly on the ground, seemingly devoid of strength.
"What now?" Her face had already lost the Sect Leader’s demeanor from just moments ago.
The man glanced at her, "Go down."
"Let those three old folks kill them!"
"And make your sect’s disciples all take action."
"In such circumstances, I wonder if those few can survive?"
Upon hearing this, a trace of doubt crossed Yue Ying’s face, "I just ordered those three old folks earlier, but they don’t seem to be doing it!"
"If I go now, can they take action?"
With a cold laugh, the man reached out to hold her chin, saying word for word, "If they don’t comply or offer any excuses."
"You just trigger the poison, and say not only the elders will die, but half of the disciples as well!"
"Then, they naturally will heed your words."
"..... Fine!" Yue Ying’s face showed some hesitation, but seeing the man before her, recalling that intoxicating ecstasy of survival, she made up her mind.
Immediately, she sped down the building toward the mountain gate.
Once she departed, a trace of disgust flickered across the face of the man atop the building, muttering,
"If it weren’t for still needing you, I would’ve slapped you dead already!"
