Demon Sect.
Cangmu Sect.
Gu An sat by the lake, reflecting countless times.
Many people left, some with hope, others made sacrifices, and some were like headless flies, drifting along.
Perhaps, before long, a new sect would emerge in the distant mountains on the other side.
That side would receive support from the Immortal Sect.
While this side would be spurned.
Even besieged.
But besiege is not something Gu An needs to consider at the moment.
What now warrants his concern is Senior Brother Shi.
It seems he represents not only himself but others too.
Probably they do not want him to stay in the sect.
After all, with such high merits, he would eventually be targeted.
Some can sincerely admire someone's capabilities, but someone who climbed up from the bottom might face hostility.
Why?
Perhaps they feel it's undeserved.
After all, he was an unknown figure before, and just by luck, he's now seen as one of them.
