[Three Days Later]

The disciples and elders of Heavenly Dragon Cliff stood ready, prepared to set out at a moment’s notice.

But why the three-day wait?

The reason was simple.

First, as the conflict originated with Sect Master Bu Haoyan, it was imperative for him to lead the charge.

However, his injuries—particularly the swelling on his face—wouldn’t heal overnight.

It was only proper to give him time to recover and present himself with dignity.

Second, Grand Elder Zu Xuzhong, humiliated by the incident with the communication stone, had declared his intention to stand with Bu Haoyan in opposing Zhaomo Pass.
