And the Fifth Elder's words continued:
"But, you missed two powers in the discussion just now."
As he said this,
the Fifth Elder pointed to the dome above, hinting but not elaborating.
Though unspoken, everyone present knew what the Fifth Elder was referring to.
The Prime Minister's Mansion, the Dayan Royal Family.
In the ensuing silence,
the Fifth Elder sighed, stood up, and faced the Sect Master with a solemn bow:
"Sect Master, Wenlin humbly requests that we immediately commence execution of the worst-case scenario plan...."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish speaking, a muffled thud sounded; dust billowed as the specially made palace floor cracked open wide.
Then,
the elder sitting at the foremost position on the left stood up:
"Xia Wenlin, we haven't leaked any information, and without solid evidence, even the current emperor wouldn't dare touch us."
