Once all of the disciples left, Liu Lanzhi bowed to the sect elders in the room and said, "Once again, I would like to apologize for my incompetence."
Elder Zhao shook his head and said, "You cannot be blamed for the greed of another. If anything, this is all the Million Snakes Sect fault."
"Elder Zhao is right, Sect Master. Don't blame yourself for any of this…"
"If you blame yourself, Sect Master, then I am also to blame, as I did not have the capability to protect the disciples in such times."
"You guys…" Liu Lanzhi almost teared up after hearing their words.
"Perhaps this situation is a blessing in disguise. Not did we experience the true cruelty of this world but we also survived it, and it will make all of us stronger. Although we have lost almost all of our disciples, we can always recruit more, albeit it'll take some time. Not to mention that we still have plenty of talented disciples left, and this includes all of you here."
