Luo Qi wasn't interested in dealing with Buddha Sect right now.

All he had to do was wait for the other four sects to submit to him. He could do whatever he wanted then.

Who gave a damn about Qingshan Sect or Buddha Sect?

He could destroy them all if he wanted.

The other sects in the mountain wouldn't be able to do anything about it even if they wanted to.

"Humph!"

A terrible smile tugged at Luo Qi's lips as he eyed the two sects before turning away and leaving.

Rows of archers readied themselves. If anyone dared to take a step forward, they would release their arrows without mercy and kill him instantly.

Elder Ting Feng and Liu Chuandao exchanged a look with each other. They knew that a reckless charge wasn't going to help. Tianlian Sect was filled with madmen who would stop at nothing to keep their enemies out.

"Retreat," ordered Liu Chuandao.

"Let's fall back first." Elder Ting Feng nodded.

The two sects retreated a mile immediately and attempted to think of another strategy.

After issuing instructions to their men to do the necessary, the few men gathered in the tent. Jiang Ning looked at everyone.

"I found where they're being locked up, but it's not going to be easy to free them," he said mildly. "They've been poisoned and probably can't fight at all. Our priority is to find out what they've been poisoned with and where the antidote is hidden."

He had to neutralize the poison so that they could fight their way out.

There was no other way. Jiang Ning might be able to slip into and out of Tianlian Sect alone, but he wouldn't be able to do the same if he had so many hapless prisoners with him.

"How do we find out what poison they've been given?" Elder Ting Feng shook his head. "Luo Qi is a sly one. He must know that someone would try to save the prisoners and have made the necessary preparations."

There must be a reason that Luo Qi was acting so brazenly. They were convinced that he had something hidden up his sleeve. "Think of something," said Jiang Ning. "This is the only way to save the prisoners. The other option is to level Tianlian Sect."

Shock rippled across everyone's thoughts. They had not expected such aggression from Jiang Ning.

He was right. Destroying Tianlian Sect would solve their current dilemma. The problem was that Tianlian Sect wasn't going to go down that easily.

Besides, they had the sect leaders and elders as their hostages. No one could promise that Luo Qi wouldn't go out of his mind and kill his prisoners.

Silence descended upon the group. Liu Chuandao and the others couldn't think of a way out of their predicament.

"I have an idea," the Senior Elder said suddenly.

All eyes turned towards him.

"If Luo Qi manages to capture one of us, he'll poison that person too. We'll know what poison he's using then."

Jiang Ning frowned slightly. He had

thought of that idea as well. Luo Qi wasn't the kind of person who would use a different poison on new captives. It was too much trouble and didn't reflect well on him. What he wanted was the control over the sects. He wouldn't really dare to kill anyone.

"Who's volunteering?" Jiang Ning asked immediately.Original content from .

Rescuing the prisoners were their top priority now. They shouldn't waste any time if they planned on going ahead with this idea.

"I'll go," said Elder Ting Feng without any hesitation. "I'm the only one who can. Luo Qi wants control overall six sects. Buddha Sect is the only sect that remains beyond his grasp now."

He took a deep breath. "He'll have Buddha Sect by the throat if he has me."

Despite what he had just said, Elder Ting Feng had instructed the other elders of Buddha Sect previously to protect the sect at all cost, even if he were to be killed.

"Jiang Ning, as soon as I get captured, find a way to slip back into Tianlian Sect again," said Elder Ting Feng. "You have to locate the antidote once we find out what the poison is."

Everything would be for nothing if they couldn't get their hands on the antidote.

"I understand." Jiang Ning nodded without

hesitation.

"Elder Ting Feng..." Liu Chuandao frowned.

"Master Ting won't die for nothing. The person who killed him must pay a price," said Elder Ting Feng. "I don't care who he is, he's going to pay the price for killing Master Ting. Buddha Sect won't let his death go unpunished!"
