Zhou Quan's mouth fell open when he heard Elder Huang's words, "Take him to the back mountain for protection?"
Was this protection?
The back mountain was where disciples who made mistakes were held in confinement, and if they wanted to protect Sun Ming, they should not have taken him to the back mountain.
As for informing Xuanwu Gate, if the Sect Leader of Xuanwu Gate learned that Sun Chaoyang was killed by Chu Ning, he would likely choose to break the alliance immediately.
A Sun Ming without any backing, considering his talent in cultivation, the Sect Leader of Xuanwu Gate may agree to the marriage.
However, a Sun Ming with no support and who had offended Chu Ning, the Sect Leader of Xuanwu Gate would definitely break off the marriage.
Elder Huang's words were not about protecting Sun Ming at all, this was cutting off his future path.
Zhou Quan felt a chill in his heart, and the next moment he heard Yue Chongbin's words.
