Theodore, a grand elder from the Serene Lotus Sect, listened to the conversation between the representatives of the other two sects. With his proficiency in hiding, nobody noticed him.
"These two sects plan to let the kid die. We agreed to poach him, should we save him?"
Theodore consulted with his friend, Elmer. The latter contemplated the issue for a while before coming up with a solution.
"It'd be risky to run away from all those grand elders while carrying and protecting a burden."
"Indeed, that's why I'm not sure what we can do about it."
"There's the legend of the Bloodthirst Sect, I think they were situated in this area, so the mountain this kid is on should be included in their past territory."
Theodore raised an eyebrow in surprise. The Bloodthirst Sect was an evil sect that practiced many techniques of blood and murder. They were exclusively lunatics, and the whole cultivation world sighed in relief when their top elders were gone.
