"Senior Brother He, what should we do?" asked a Level 6 cultivator covered in insect blood.
"Should we send a message to Senior Brother Cheng and have him bring people to support us?" someone suggested.
Unlike the Righteous Blood Sect, which emptied its nest to deal with the Insect Plague, other sects generally had disciples stay behind to guard their home bases during such crises, as the home base was vital to a sect's survival, so vigilance was crucial at all times.
Take Sky Fiend Hall, for example, this time around 500 cultivators were deployed, and more than a hundred stayed behind, including Deputy Governor Cheng Bo at the home base, who was also a Level 7 cultivator, though he had only recently advanced.
Currently, the Sky Fiend Hall cultivators were in a dire situation, with waves of the Insect Plague incoming and Haotian Alliance cultivators ambushing around the insect cave exit, making escape uncertain. The best option was to have Cheng Bo come with reinforcements.
