PAK!
The disciple widened his eyes as his skull split wide open with a loud crack. Blood gushed from the wound and streamed down his forehead.
THUD.
His corpse fell heavily onto the ground and stained the floor red with blood.
Elder Ting Feng stumbled a few steps back as he held his hand protectively over his stomach. He was livid.
He had not expected this disciple to be the spy.
The former chief had trusted him so much.
"Elder Ting Feng!"
"Elder Ting Feng, are you alright?"
The disciples were filled with worry. One of them immediately called for someone to treat Elder Ting Feng's injury.
"I'm fine." The elder inhaled sharply and tried to pretend that he wasn't as badly injured as he appeared. Fortunately, he had reacted in time. Otherwise, that attack would have killed him.
There was a severe look on his face. There was no time to get furious over the disciple's betrayal. The worry that occupied his mind now was whether the traitor had spoken the truth before his attempted assassination.
Had members of the five major sects truly been captured? If so, by who?
Was it that man again?
Elder Ting Feng simply sat there. His mind felt sharp because of the pain he was feeling. The traitor had truly wanted him dead!
"What's going on?"
The other elders had arrived. They were filled with fury and worry when they realized what had happened.
"I'm afraid he was speaking the truth." Elder Ting Feng recalled what Jiang Ning had told him last night. "We might have made a terrible mistake. We were willing to swallow our pride in order to protect the sect, but our enemy might not be willing to let us off."
He clenched his jaw as a murderous rage churned inside him.
Jiang Ning had been right. Their enemy wasn't going to let Buddha Sect go that easily. He had something ambitious planned. The six sects had stepped into his trap and allowed him to manipulate them for his purposes when they had formed their alliance.
Perhaps they had lost their uselessness and he wanted to get rid of them. Perhaps he had other uses for them.
Regardless, they had been tools that had been exploited by someone from the very beginning.
"It's a disaster." Liu Chuandao said with a grave look on his face. "The men from the five major sects have been captured and are imprisoned at Tianlian Sect. Wait a minute, it's men from four of the five sects. They've been captured by Tianlian Sect."
He had not expected something like this to happen.
Luo Qi must be out of his mind to attempt something as wild as this.
Liu Chuandao turned towards Jiang Ning. "You are right. That Mr Lang is no ordinary character."
Jiang Ning frowned slightly.
Mr Lang had engineered the alliance amongst the six major sects in the first
place. But the alliance had fallen apart upon their withdrawal from the fight with Qingshan Sect and foiled his plans. That was why he had to carry out the next step in his plans.
But Jiang Ning had not expected Tianlian Sect to be so merciless.
They had attacked their allies without mercy.
"What are they planning to do?” Jiang Ning asked.
"They want to use the sect leaders and elders of the respective sects as bargaining chips to blackmail the other sects into submitting to Tianlian Sect's rule," scoffed Liu Chuandao. "Luo Qi wants to seize control of all five major sects!"
