If Ren Baqian wasn't who he was, Xu Wuming and Wen Xiaosheng might not have had to die.
However, at this time, both of them made the choice to be accountable to him.
Firstly, the chief of the Temple of Heaven was a foreign being, and this tainted all the members of the organization.
Secondly, the Temple of Heaven belonged to everyone, and it had been passed down for thousands of years. In this world that was about to transform, one wrong step would ruin everything.
The temple chief had died.
Xu Wuming and Wen Xiaosheng had to die as well.
This way, the Temple of Heaven would be free of encumbrances.
Zong Shang understood this. Some of them thought of this while others didn't. However, all of them eventually would.
Ren Baqian understood this as well and felt a little dispirited when he left the room.
This was the end.
This justification was enough.
