David said firmly, without a trace of his previous laziness, “I absolutely cannot just sit idly by and do nothing regarding the matter of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect!”
Ling Yunzi had anticipated this. After thinking for a moment, he solemnly said, “Brother Daoist Chen is a loyal and righteous person, whom I admire. The sudden change in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and the fact that the Combined Beast Clan is in cahoots with the Ten Thousand Soul Demon Sect has now become a reality.”
“If we let them gain a firm foothold, the sect adjacent to my Xuantian Sword Sect will no longer be the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, an ally we can win over, but the Allied Beast Saint Sect, a lackey of the Demon Sect!”
“At that time, our sect will be attacked from both sides, and the situation will be dangerous!”
He looked at David with sincere eyes: “For both public and private reasons, my Xuantian Sword Sect must help you.”
“In that case, I, Ling, will send a team of elite disciples, led by Shuang’er, to accompany Fellow Daoist Chen to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Firstly, to help Fellow Daoists find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Rift Sect Leader, and secondly, to investigate the situation and see if we can seize the opportunity to act.”
“Dad! You want me to go with him?”
Hearing that, Ling Shuang immediately felt displeased, pointing at David, “He’s only at the seventh level of the Immortal Realm, what’s the point? And you expect me to protect him? I’m not leaving!”
“Nonsense!”
Ling Yunzi retorted, “How dare you assume you know Fellow Daoist Chen’s strength?”
“On the Blood Red Plains, the Soul Demon was blown away by Fellow Daoist Chen’s palm strike! Many disciples witnessed this with their own eyes, how could this be wrong?”
“Allowing you to follow me means giving you the opportunity to learn and gain experience, and it is also a representation of my Xuantian Sword Sect in establishing good relations with Fellow Daoist Chen and the remnants of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect! This matter concerns the overall situation of the sect, and you cannot act arbitrarily!”
Ling Shuang was scolded by her father, and when she heard that Hun Sha had been knocked back with a palm, her beautiful face was filled with disbelief.
He looked David up and down again, and couldn’t reconcile this ordinary-looking blue-robed young man with the person who had defeated the notorious Demon Sect Leader.
Yet her father spoke with such strong conviction that she had no choice but to believe him.
She bit her lip, still harboring resentment, but did not dare to openly disobey her father’s orders, and could only reply sullenly, “Yes, my daughter obeys.”
At this time, David was worried about the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and had no time to care about Ling Shuang’s attitude. He cupped his hands towards Ling Yunzi and said, “Then, thank you for your help, Sect Leader Ling. Without further ado, let us depart immediately.”
“Alright! Shuang’er, immediately select twenty vigilant and capable disciples, skilled in concealment and tracking to accompany Fellow Daoist Chen. All actions will be subject to Fellow Daoist Chen’s arrangements!” Ling Yunzi gave the order firmly.
“Good.” Ling Shuang reluctantly accepted the order and left, giving David a sharp look before leaving.
