A Sect Master turned to Si Que and Mu Xin at this point and asked, "You two are disciples of Feng Jiu. Is it true that you have not heard anything from them in the past five years?"


    Si Que and Mu Xin exchanged nces before responding with a wry smile. "When our masters left, they didn''t tell us where they were going. So we have no idea where they are, and we haven''t heard anything from them."


    Even if Si Que and Mu Xin did have information, how could they possibly reveal it without their Masters'' permission?


    After hearing what they had to say, the others looked thoughtful but said little. Instead, they discussed and reached the conclusion, "We need the Four Great Immortal Sects and the Four Sects to join forces if we want to fight against the Skylink Monarch. Once we''ve returned to our respective sects, the weaker disciples should go back to their families while the stronger ones stay behind to fight. This way, we can lessen the number of casualties."


    Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this. It made sense because the weaker disciples would die if they took part in the battle. They naturally hoped to leave some promising disciples in the sect and avoid total annihtion of the sect.


    "We should also spread the word and invite Strong Exponents from various factions to join us in this battle. I believe there are many Strong Exponents in various regions, and once we release the news, I am confident that people wille to our aid."


    "Mm. This can be done." The crowd nodded in reply.


    "We should also send people to the Temple to ask for help when the timees..."


    Si Que and Mu Xin listened and watched the discussion in silence. Up until the end, when the problem was solved and the Sect Masters, elders, and others started to leave, they were also ready to leave, but the Sect Master called them back.


    "Wait a moment, you two," the Sect Master called out as he walked towards them with his hands behind his back.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Sect Master." The two of them turned around and saluted him. "Do you have further instructions?"


    "Do you know why the other elders didn''t attend this discussion, but the two of you did?" asked the Sect Master, looking them in the eyes.


    When they heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and they understood but didn''t say much. They simply bowed and asked, "Please exin, Sect Master."


    The Sect Master sighed. "There''s no need to feign ignorance. You heard the discussion right now, and I think you understand what I''m trying to say. I will not borate on the other matters. Consider it carefully!" With that, he left the two behind and walked away.


    As he walked away, Mu Xin looked at Si Que and said, "The Sect Master wants us to inform our Masters."


    "What else could it be?" Si Que asked with a wry smile. "Even though we really don''t know where our Masters are, the Sect Master won''t believe us. Anyway, although we do not know about our Masters'' news, we do know how to get in touch with them."


    Si Que sighed. "In the past five years, despite holding Master''s messaging jade token, we have never used it once. So, since the Sect Master has mentioned it, and the situation is indeed serious, we should report it to our Masters. Whether or not they return is entirely up to the two Masters."


    Mu Xin nodded. "You''re right. Let us return first! Report this news to Masters." They walked away together, towards Si Que''s cave dwelling.
