Chapter 1322: The Three Great Sects (1/2)
“Attack the palace?” The three elders blinked
Not in a ined this requirement Since they’d played no part in the invasion, they’d assu Chen’s understanding and preserve their status in Great Scarlet
If the ireatest sects in the region If the emperor stayed on the throne, he would be too wary of the sects’ power to fall out with them Either way, the results didn’tlord had shattered their beautiful dreale inch to rew sharp as an indifferent s to be fence-sitters? Dreaotiation I’ all of you a chance I cae Do you think a cheap trick like sealing off your gates would be enough to keep you safe?”
The three elders couldn’t repress shudders when they sensed the coldaura?
“Young lord Jiang Chen… You’re picking on the wrong target! We had no part in the invasion, so your en to do with us”
“That’s right, young lord Jiang Chen You can ask anyone, they’ll tell you we’re innocent and didn’t send any troops”
Jiang Chen barked a laugh, but his face remained hard “Innocent? Aren’t you factions of Great Scarlet? Even if you didn’t participate in the invasion, have you not obtained any indirect benefits? No resources allocated by Great Scarlet? Don’t go thinking you can wash your hands of this simply because you sent no troops! If you had, you wouldn’t even be standing here right now”

“What? He wants us to attack the ile’s sect head was already frustrated enough by the encircle request added insult to injury
“Yes, Sectmaster He said that we can either attack the imperial family and prove our sincerity, or be suppressed”
“How can young lord Jiang be so unreasonable?” the indignant sectmaster complained “We didn’t participate in Myriad Do our hand?”
“Sectreat sects of Great Scarlet is criave us only half a day If we don’t act by then, he’ll order an assault on the three sects”
