Quan Sheshou stood at the western gates of Dawn City, calmly observing the approaching threat. From his investigations, he had found that the Holy Creek Sect was only a minor sect with about 200 disciples. Even if they dispatched all of their elders; even if the patriarch himself had arrived to fight, this was by no means a significant force. With him there, the enemy had practically no chance of winning.
Having spent almost 3 decades in closed cultivation, the old man didn't understand the intricacies of the ongoing situation. He knew the rough outline, as was relayed by Quan Dongjin, but he never cared to learn about it much beyond that. However, even without that understanding, many things about the relationship between the two powers seemed weird, including this attack.
