"Half a month ago, before that strange rock, didn't Elder Su of your esteemed sect make quite the scene?"
"You demanded an apology from Elder Lin of Wuhua Palace, and he apologized. The items, too, were delivered as promised. So tell me, on this critical day, why does Sword Sect cower and dare not ascend the platform?"
"Or is it that Elder Su has foreseen certain defeat, hence the refusal to step onto the stage!?"
"If that's the case, then Sword Sect would indeed be nothing but a bunch of cowards. Where is the thousand-year backbone of your sect? Where is the pride that dares to fight knowing you cannot win?"
"This is what happens when women are in charge, just a bunch of cowards."
A smile curled at the corner of Ling Ran's mouth from within the Wuhua Palace's residence as he gazed in the direction of the multitude of Sword Sect Disciple.
All members of the Sword Sect clenched their teeth tightly, glaring angrily at Wuhua Palace.
