Ruo Zhong knew that what Gao Jian had said earlier was not without reason. In fact, his initial thought was the same; he didn't want to adopt a hardline approach. The specific reason, Ruo Zhong couldn't articulate. He believed that with his skill, dealing with these four cultivators in front of him should not be a problem.
Plus, he had thousands of soldiers on his side, so numbers were not a concern. Even if each of those soldiers loosed an arrow, it would still mean thousands of arrows were aimed at the four of them. Ruo Zhong knew that even a cultivator at the Emergence Stage, like himself, could not withstand such an attack.
But as Ruo Zhong looked at the four people opposite him, he couldn't shake a sense of unease. Especially when Ding Fan suddenly took out so many spirit stones, it made Ruo Zhong's previously steady heart, as stable as Mount Tai, suddenly feel off balance. For a moment, he struggled to control himself.
