"This…"
Lu Dengxian was taken aback by Liu Jingtiao's furious shouting and did not react for a moment.
But as the Supreme Elder questioned him, he dared not remain silent.
He promptly laid out the conflict between him and Lin Xiao, the killing of Elder Yang Kan, and up to the death of Elder Tan Qingquan, detailing how the situation had escalated beyond reconciliation.
As he continued describing, the anger in Liu Jingtiao grew visibly stronger. By the time he had explained why Gu Jinlai decided to lead troops into the Red State, the Supreme Elder was already furiously incensed, "Lu Dengxian, we entrusted the Purgatory Sect to you, and this is how you handle the affairs of the sect?"
When a Primordial Spirit became enraged, their powerful Divine Thought even stirred the mountain forests.
Many birds and creatures in the mountains, as if terrified, scurried in panic, and a large number of birds took to the sky, chirping wildly as they flew away.
