Gong Rui, filled with hope, said that he believed Su Changkong, being an Innate Martial Artist and an Elder of the Spirit Taoist Sect, was the only one who could lead in these dire times, now that the rest of the elders and Sect Master Helian Yuan were missing, their fates unknown.
"What use is there in gathering the other disciples?" Su Changkong retorted, leaving Gong Rui speechless.
Indeed, now that the Spirit Taoist Sect didn't even have its gate left, even if their disciples heeded the call and came back, there would be nowhere for them to stay.
"I must leave now, I will pay attention to the whereabouts of the Sect Master and the others. Once the Sect Master and they return, we can discuss other matters," he said.
After understanding the situation, Su Changkong took one last look at the ruins of the Spirit Taoist Sect and spoke to Gong Rui.
Without waiting for Gong Rui to respond, he turned and left along the mountain path.
