The Man's Decree

Meanwhile, the six purple-robed emissaries had secretly gathered in Evil Heart Sect’s secret realm. “Everyone, I’ve already met
with Jared Chance, and he has agreed to rescue our families. What we need to do now is come up with a foolproof plan,”
Quindon announced.
“Mr. Yuchamore, Evil Heart Sect’s dungeon is heavily guarded from top to bottom. I’ve made some inquiries and learned that our
families are locked on the most secure underground third floor. It looks like Lord Tanner is also worried about us rescuing them,
so he had taken these precautions against us from the beginning,” Angus said with a heavy sigh. “Even if Jared has agreed to
lend us a helping hand, saving our families will still be a long shot...”
Upon hearing that, the other purple-robed emissaries lowered their heads in dismay. “No matter how difficult it is, we have to try.
We can’t continue to let our families suffer, nor can we let our disciples be treated as disposable resources. We have to fight
back!” Quindon said. with a look of fierce determination.
Windmist’s eyes instantly lit up. “That’s right! We have to fight back! Otherwise, Lord Tanner. will come after us once the Spiritual
Energy Restoration Formation is activated and the spiritual energy in the mundane world is restored. Who knows? He might
even use us as cultivation resources!”
“I didn’t say to give up on the rescue mission...” Angus retorted. “However, given the tight security of the dungeon, we have to
proceed cautiously. One wrong move is all it takes to jeopardize the entire mission, and when that happens, the dungeon will
become our graveyard.”
“Well, I do have a plan...” Windmist piped up. “What is it?” the other purple-robed emissaries asked in unison.
“If we want to save our families, we’ll have to do so when Evil Heart Sect’s security is the most relaxed. That would be when the
Spiritual Energy Restoration Formation is activated,” Windmist reasoned. “Lord Tanner will definitely lead his subordinates to
Divine Quest Sect to get the preparations underway, so that’s the moment Evil Heart Sect will have the least security. We can
use that chance to rescue our families.”
For a moment, nobody said a word until Sigwin broke the silence. “Mr. Windmist, your plan sounds good, and I agree that’s the
day when Evil Heart Sect will be least secure. However, if we were to wait until then, Skylar would have absorbed almost all of
our disciples. Besides, as Evil Heart Sect’s purple-robed emissaries, wouldn’t Lord Tanner want us by his side?
How would we find the time for the rescue mission? Let’s also not forget that Jared plays a critical role in activating the Spiritual
Energy Restoration Formation. Lord Tanner would get him to Divine Quest Sect by any means, so who else is there to save our
families?”

The other emissaries quickly agreed with Sigwin. While they couldn’t deny that Windmist had a viable plan, no one would have
the time to carry it out on the day itself!
“I’ve done the calculations. On the day of the activation, Lord Tanner will threaten Jared to get him to Divine Quest Sect, and that
time difference will provide us with a window of opportunity. Jared can use that interval to slip into Evil Heart Sect for the rescue
mission. Since we’ll be in Divine Quest Sect, we can buy Jared some time and keep an eye on Lord Tanner.
Once our families are safe and sound, we’ll unleash our attack. As for the disciples, we’ll have to sacrifice them... This is the
best plan I can think of, and as heartbreaking as it sounds, we have to choose between our families and disciples. We can’t save
them all,” Windmist said rather grimly.
I don’t wish for this, either! I don’t want to sacrifice our disciples, but what other choice do we have? The rest of the group
instantly fell silent again. as they pondered Windmist’s words.
“Let’s do as Mr. Windmist suggested. The harsh reality of life is that we can’t have it all. It’d be good enough to get our families
out of that. hellhole. In any case, I shall return to Jared and discuss the plan with him. You guys have to continue acting normal.
We can’t let anyone catch on to what we’re planning,” Quindon instructed before waving everyone off.
If they stayed together for a minute longer, it’d only give Tanner a reason to suspect them.
