After telling Tang Luo about the attack, the Sixth Elder Tang Gaomin learned that the Great Elder intended to stabilize the injuries of several Martial Ancestors here and then head back to the clan for reinforcements. He then looked around.
This place was a hill in the floodwaters, once known as Mang Hill, a low mountain east of Xiling. Now with Xiling turned into a lake, Mang Hill had become an island in the midst of its waters, abounding with trees.
"We can't leave directly," Tang Luo said to the Sixth Elder Tang Gaomin. "There is nowhere to hide on such an island. Plus, the Great Elder needs to keep infusing Geng Metal Qi into the Martial Ancestors, causing formidable fluctuations in spiritual power. If the Mi Clan comes back, given the injuries of the Martial Ancestors, they won't be able to activate the Xuanji Jade. It's too dangerous."
