Lei Hong fell silent.
Fu Zongjing's reasoning was sound, even if they chose unwavering loyalty and death before dishonor, what difference would it make?
Could they change the impending destruction of the Three-Saint Sect?
If he hadn't seen the Black Dragon, whose strength had risen to the Fifth level of Great Perfection in such a short time, maybe Lei Hong would still be torn. After all, with Yu Shoudao still around, there was still hope for the Three-Saint Sect. But now, was there any hope left for Yu Shoudao?
Although the Black Dragon's strength appeared just about on par with Yu Shoudao's, Lin Chen's ability to fight till such a stage from nothing proved his formidable skills. Now, with so many traitors inside who could betray at any given moment, and with Yu Shoudao none the wiser, he was destined to be betrayed just like him; losing or even dying was already a foregone conclusion.
