However, an untimely voice emanated from Tongshan, who had just been promoted to the rank of Jin Gang:
"Sect Hierarch, I understand all that you've said; our fear isn't the Flame Dragon Organization or the Ancient Martial World. It's that guy named Xu Fan. I've heard he single-handedly destroyed the carefully orchestrated operations by Huang Pao, killing all the experts including Huang Pao himself, even the Zhulong perished at his hands. I'm afraid if this guy sets his sights on us, how will we ever stop him?"
Instantly, everyone seriously looked toward Tongshan, admiring his courage while implicitly deriding his cluelessness of the danger he was courting.
Speaking to the Sect Hierarch in this manner under such circumstances, wasn't he essentially slapping him in public? If they were a military force, Tongshan would have been immediately taken down and punished for disheartening the troops.
