The group walked on the battlefield in front of the Hidden Dragon Sect. The direction was now determined, and Wo Geng led everyone toward the hall of the Hidden Dragon Sect.
Every religious sect has a sacred shrine, and the Hidden Dragon Sect is no exception. This shrine, which they call the Temple, is where almost all important events are held. It symbolizes not only the people's faith but also the entire sect.
"The Sulong Sect has fallen to this state, yet the temple still stands; its fortune has not yet run out!" Wo Geng stared intently at the temple not far ahead and said slowly.
"The Grand Elder is right! The Hidden Dragon Sect has not fallen to this state!" Wo Yuan echoed. At this moment, the three elders of the Hidden Dragon Sect who were in the Heavenly Prison came out of the prison and appeared in front of everyone.
"Elder Qianxin, Elder Qianwen, both our sects are deeply saddened by this matter. We have come here to help, so please feel free to ask if there is anything we can do to assist you. We will certainly do our utmost to help." Wogen and Suwei stepped forward and addressed the three elders of the Qianlong Sect.
They used to be elders on the same front, back when they were just soldiers leading the charge. Now that they're elders, they can no longer address each other with the same titles; they can only add "elder" after their names. Not only has a rift developed, but a difference in status has also emerged.
"Alas! We were caught off guard by this matter. We are very grateful for the support of both factions. As for how to resolve this matter, I think we can only make a decision after entering the temple," said the elder known as Qianxin. There are only three elders in the Qianlong Sect, who are all Golden Core stage experts.
Among them, Qianxin's strength was the closest to Wogen's, and he was the first elder of the Qianlong Sect. The second elder was Qianwen Elder, and the third elder was Qianlei Elder, who was slightly weaker but had the advantage of being young.
These three were among the few members of the Hidden Dragon Sect who were fortunate enough to escape the corruption of the vampire's deadly poisonous energy, which is why they were able to cultivate to the Golden Core stage.
Generally speaking, the direct disciples of the three Wolong sects, those with strong dragon bloodlines, are all very talented. As long as they don't die young, they can enter the Golden Core stage without any problem by following the normal cultivation path.
"Enter the temple? Is this also something to be left to the gods?" Wo Geng muttered to himself, his voice audible only to himself.
Immediately, Elder Qianxin waved his Taoist robe and led everyone to continue walking towards the temple.
"None of these four have woken up yet?" Elder Qianwen asked slowly, following closely behind Elder Qianxin.
Wo Yuan shook his head and said, "They haven't woken up yet. Their injuries are very serious, but they're just unconscious. I believe they'll wake up soon."
Qianwen replied, "That would be perfect. Now the hopes of the Qianlong Sect rest on these four."
The question posed by Qianwen contains many implications, including a sense of helplessness. If the four of them wake up and, like the others in the Qianlong Sect, have lost that memory, then they will not know how Qianwei managed to get rid of that poisonous true energy, nor will they know how the vampires stopped this attack. The latter question is especially important to both the Sulong Sect and the Wolong Sect.
If they don't even know this, they won't be able to effectively defend themselves, and then they will be the target of the next large-scale attack by the vampires.
They too will be helpless, just like the Hidden Dragon Sect.
However, both the Grand Elders of the Sulong Sect and the Wolong Sect knew that the targets of this attack by the vampires were those who had been implanted with deadly poisonous energy during the previous battle. Therefore, to a large extent, those who had not been implanted with deadly poisonous energy would not be controlled by the vampires.
Therefore, the Sulong Sect and the Wolong Sect need not concern themselves with such issues.
The most important issue right now is how to help the Hidden Dragon Cult recover its strength.
The Hidden Dragon Sect is crucial to the three sects of Wolong. The loss of any one of them would be disastrous for the Wolong Mountain area, as well as for the southern and northern kingdoms.
"I'm afraid the vampires are now aware of the situation with the Hidden Dragon Cult. I believe another catastrophe will occur soon, so everyone should be mentally prepared," Qianxin, who was walking at the front, suddenly said.
This statement was meant to be a reminder to the Wolong Sect and the Sulong Sect.
“This trip to the temple is the first time in so many years. It’s been so long since the temple was activated again. This matter will surely alarm the high-ranking officials of the Northern Kingdom. I’m afraid they will send soldiers to garrison Qianlong Mountain soon,” Wo Geng replied.
“The temple will be disturbed, which will surely cause an alarm. But this is the only way we can save the Hidden Dragon Sect.” Qianxin said with a bitter expression.
Wo Geng nodded and said nothing more. The group soon arrived at the temple entrance.
Along their journey, they saw many remaining buildings of the Hidden Dragon Sect, all of which were severely damaged. When they saw the temple, they thought it would also be destroyed, but the temple remained intact without any damage!
In other words, even when the members of the Hidden Dragon Cult were under control, they did not cause any damage to the temple! This demonstrates just how strong the Hidden Dragon Cult's subconscious protective instincts towards the temple were! This is the power of faith.
"The temple is so intact?!" Woding exclaimed in disbelief! Because almost all the buildings along the way had been damaged to some extent, seeing this brand-new temple was hard for anyone to accept.
"We, the members of the Hidden Dragon Sect, are all like this," Qian Lei said with a resolute gaze and a powerful voice.
