CHAPTER 1552 CANNOT LET OFF
The most important thing to do now was to leave Donghai, because it was dangerous for them to stay, and to go far away from this terrifying Jiang Ning.
Once they returned to Mount Zhongnan and returned to their clans, they could make plans again.
Brother Gou gathered the papers from all the elders and left the room. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"You guys should leave, nobody will stop you. Don't stay in Donghai, otherwise you'll never be able to leave again." Brother Gou's voice slowly disappeared as he walked away. The seven elders looked at one another, frowned slightly, then turned at the same time to look at Sima Quan's shut door.
DOONG DOONG DOONG!
The Huangfu clan elder went up to knock on his door and whispered, "Let's leave together!”
Nobody was watching them now, so even if they brought Sima Quan away with them, nobody would find out.
"All of you can leave without me." To their surprise, Sima Quan turned down their offer.
"Sima Quan, Donghai is a dangerous place and that Jiang Ning is very unpredictable. If you stay here, you might not live for very long!" the Huangfu clan elder continued to persuade him.
"Let's all return to Mount Zhongnan and think of something else. As long as all the clans combine forces, there will definitely be a way..."
"All of you can leave without me!" Sima Quan's voice was a little louder now. "The Sima clan has already given up on me and there's no place for me in the clan anymore. I can't go back."
There was no sound after that.
The other elders sighed.
They knew that the person whose words carried the most weight in a reclusive clan was actually the Senior Elder. Even the head of the clan would not dare to defy him openly.
Even though they were elders too, they were just people who were at the beck and call of the Senior Elder.
Nobody else tried to persuade him further. They all quickly left the academy and left Donghai.
Sima Quan remained in the room and sat very straight, but he looked like he had aged by ten years.
He looked out into the distance, in the direction of Mount Zhongnan...
He looked in the direction of the Sima clan's residence.
At the Sima clan's residence in Mount Zhongnan, Sima Gang was seated in the house and his expression was still grim.
"Senior Elder, I really can't take this lying down!" Sima Heng sat on a chair as he was practically shouting away. Both his legs had been crippled after all.
He saw that Sima Gang didn't respond, so his voice went up in volume. "Uncle Gang! I'm the only descendant of your bloodline! And now I've been incapacitated...how upset would my late parents be if they found out about this?"
BAM!
Sima Gang immediately slammed the table after Sima Heng said this.
"I will not let Jiang Ning off!” he roared with a livid face. It wasn't only because Sima Heng had been crippled, but more because he had been thoroughly embarrassed by Jiang Ning.
He didn't even have the courage to attack Jiang Ning when he went to Donghai!
The more Sima Gang thought about it, the angrier he became. His entire body was shaking in fury.
fortress and that Jiang Ning is more powerful than an ordinary man. Why did all of you just barge in like that?"
He had been embarrassed, but so had all the reclusive clans!
"It's the Fang clan!" said Sima Heng. "Fang Hongshan from the Fang clan gave us this information. He's very close to the Sima clan, so I didn't expect him to actually lay a trap for us!"
"Fang Hongshan?" Sima Gang's expression became even grimmer.
He had heard of this name and had killed Fang Hongshan's subordinate the other day. So it was this idiot after all.
"That Fang clan must have joined hands with Jiang Ning! Otherwise, why would everyone from the other families be imprisoned within Donghai but only Fang Wei got to return?" said Sima Heng furiously. "Senior Elder, we must never, never, ever let the Fang clan off!”
