"Replying to Protector Zuo, we, we don't know that Lin Che either. But she should be in the group. We saw the former Saint. She was the one who led them up the mountain. She should be there for sure."

"How many of them are there?"

"It looks like... it's around ten thousand."

All the elders, protectors, and supreme elders looked at each other.

"Now that they are here, let's treat them well."

"Humph, this King Yanyun relies on his status as an eighth-rank official to look down on us. He dares to attack my Yuxu Palace with a mere 10,000 people. He must not know how we became the head of the Taoist sect!"

"Follow the plan! Go!"

"yes--"

Brush, brush, brush.

Dozens of elders scattered in the air, returning to their respective caves on the mountaintops. It was obvious that they had also been prepared.

One of them quickly turned around and went to report to the sect leader Ling Jingzong.

"Master, Lin Che is here! He's brought 10,000 men with him, all powerful soldiers."

The elder knelt outside a cave and reported in a deep voice.

Ling Jingzong's voice remained calm. "Okay, I understand. Go to the entrance of Shengyun Cave and fetch some spring water. I'll be entertaining our distinguished guests later."

The elder was suspicious. It was already this late, and the sect leader was still not in a hurry?

What distinguished guests are you entertaining? Are there any distinguished guests coming now?

Could it be to entertain Lin Che?

But the elder immediately denied it. The sect leader did like to chat with his enemies on weekdays, but he definitely would not talk much with Lin Che.

Now we have a formidable enemy, and we are also honored guests...

Who wants the spring water from Shengyun Cave?
