Chapter 869: The Stances of Various Parties, Taking Sides Begins

As Qin Xiao leveled his accusation, everyone looked toward Ke Dan.

“This Sect Leader Ke really isn’t playing fair. He doesn’t plan to let an elder take the fall, does he?”

“Indeed. You can’t just deny things now that experts from the Great Luo Realm have arrived, can you?”

“Could it be that Sect Leader Ke hasn’t reached an agreement with those major powers yet, and that’s why he’s stalling for time?”

People began discussing it. The sect’s Great Elder had ordered the encirclement, Ke Dan had threatened Qin Xiao, and one of its Elders had struck him. Denying responsibility now seemed dishonorable.

“Qin Xiao, do you seriously intend to go to war with my Immortal Pill Sect today?”

Ke Dan could not express his frustration. Explaining would only make things worse. He asked Qin Xiao directly: if he wanted a fight, then fight.

“You old thief Ke Dan! You’re still trying to distort the truth at a time like this. Wasn’t it your people who struck and injured me first? And now you claim I want to start a war? It is your Immortal Pill Sect that has declared war on my Seven Stars Tower. If I don’t dismantle your sect today, everyone will assume I am weak and easily bullied.”

Qin Xiao feigned difficulty as he struggled to his feet, rebuking Ke Dan angrily.

“My Immortal Pill Sect is hosting the Myriad Pill Assembly today and has invited numerous powers from the Southern Region. Do you realize that your actions today make enemies of us all?”

Ke Dan had not finished negotiating with the great forces. Three Great Luo Realm followers were already inside his sect, leaving him no choice but to try to involve everyone.

In his original plan, he intended to capture Qin Xiao first, leaving Seven Stars Tower’s main forces to arrive later. That window of time would allow him to persuade the major powers. With Qin Xiao as a hostage, Seven Stars Tower would not dare act rashly. Mediated by these major factions, the dispute would eventually be resolved peacefully, regardless of how many Great Luo Realm experts Seven Stars Tower possessed.
