The group quickly reached a consensus and together they went to the cave dwelling of Qingxiao True Person to report the matter.
And Qingxiao True Person also accepted Master Qingwei's opinion, allowing such a response to be given in his name.
Thus, Green Lotus Temple immediately released a message that Qingxiao True Person could agree to Tianjing True Person's challenge, but on the condition that the criteria for victory and defeat be changed—Tianjing True Person must last a full day under Qingxiao True Person's hands.
Furthermore, if Tianjing True Person lost, he must swear an oath never to strike against the cultivators of Green Lotus Temple again, nor join or establish any faction.
This reply indeed served to divert attention.
The pressure that was originally on Green Lotus Temple now fell half on Tianjing True Person as well.
