"What if Li Mu appears right as we retract our forces, and we miss him?"
"The chance of that happening is very small."
"We've been searching for over three months, and we're even joined by the masters from the other regions. We're slowly narrowing down our search for Li Mu. If we give up now, everything we've done would have been wasted. If we restart after destroying the Su Family, it's equivalent to starting from zero."
"Either way, the Su Family is already trapped, There's nothing they can do. It wouldn't make a different if we capture them now or later on. On the other hand, we can't afford to miss out on capturing Li Mu."
The two factions within the Viper Clan argued.
Some of the elders remained neutral.
It was a dilemma!
Both sides seemed to have a point.
How should they choose?
Soon, all of the elders in the Viper Clan sank into silence as they struggled to justify either view over the other.
