The Zither Sound City was truly in a mess. All of the local gangs had no reason to take the blame, and the rich and powerful fighters had come looking for them. These hoodlums had an uncontrollable temper. Once they started fighting, the entire Zither Sound City would instantly become a bloody mess.

The retreat of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect had caught the Water Sword Sect off guard. When Yu Lin Tian heard the news, he was about to explode with anger!

"The Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect and we have already discussed this, why would they leave while we're at it?" Yu Lin Tian's chest heaved up and down, his face filled with rage as he looked around the hall. The upper echelons of the Aquatic Sword Sect were all silent, and no one dared to speak.

Only Great Elder Jin Lingfeng was still able to raise his opinion towards Yu Lin Tian, "Sect Leader, it seems like now, the Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect must have left for some reason! Someone must have secretly given them a large amount of silver to back them up and withdraw from our agreement! Other than that, there is no other reason! "

Looking back at Jin Ling Feng, Yu Lin Tian's face darkened, "Then Great Elder, who could possibly be willing to give a large sum of money to the Sky Dragon Sword Sect to change their mind? Where did they get such a large amount of silver? "

The Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect was different from the Aquatic Sword Sect. The strength of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect was slightly higher than the Treant's Core Sect. However, in the entire Zither Sound Mountain Range, it could not be considered a large sect that had undergone cultivation. At most, it would only be a medium or upper-middle level sect. In order to get Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect to participate in this, they had already abandoned many benefits and pulled Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect into this mess!

The Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect was participating in the entire plan against the heart of the tree for their own benefits. If there was someone who could make the Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect give up on their plan, they would definitely take part in it. That must have cost a lot of silver taels to do it!

Jin Lingfeng frowned slightly. He pondered for a moment and then said, "I think that the only person who could do this is the current leader of the Green Wood Sect, the traitor, Mu Xinshu!"

Fish Scale Tian narrowed his eyes and turned his head around with a strange expression. He looked at Seventh Elder Tang Lin Feng who was sitting beside Jin Lingfeng and said, "Oh?" Mu Xinshu? "Is this the person who kidnapped Elder Tang Linju?"

Jin'ling Feng nodded, but Tang Linfeng's expression was a bit awkward. He still sighed and said, "At present, it seems like it's all done by these people! As far as I know, even though that Mu Xinshu has become a traitor to the Sect of Tree, he still wholeheartedly protects the Sect of Tree! From the front, back, and even in the open and in the dark, this is the only one who is going against us! "

Jin Lingfeng stood at the side and said to Jin Lingfeng, "According to what I know, the Green Forest Sect has been developing rapidly and has spent a lot of money to recruit a lot of the top fourth and fifth meridian cultivators!" There were even rumors that they had recruited a 6th meridian stage super cultivator! The Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect was not an ordinary sect. As one of the top ten sects in the Zither Sound Mountain, if they wanted to buy them off, they would need a large amount of silver! "Now that we think about it, this matter ought to be done by the Azure Forest Branch!"

Fishscale nodded, his expression solemn. "In that case, are we really raising a tiger?" "It looks like we didn't kill the Green Forest Sect last time. That Mu Xinshu went back to Qinyin City. I didn't think that the Green Forest Sect would develop so quickly."

Jin Lingfeng smiled bitterly and sighed, "So far, it seems to be true!" There are 100,000 people in the Zither Sound City, and more than half of them are cultivation practitioners. Amongst these tens of thousands of cultivation practitioners, there are always many that work for money! "

Fish Scale Sky gradually calmed down, his expression was no longer as angry as before, "Then according to you guys, should we go in or retreat? We've already done so much, and the news has already spread throughout the entire Zither Sound Mountain Range! If you leave now, our Water Sword Sect's reputation would be at a disadvantage! "

Jin Lingfeng shook his head and said with a grave expression on his face, "Reputation is secondary!" Now we can't back down! Furthermore, because of the withdrawal of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect, we are now in a passive position! The situation at the Core Gate was unknown, and the situation in the Zither Sound City was in such chaos! If we make a wrong move now, we will regret it for the rest of our lives! "

In the great hall, the people of Aquatic Sword Sect were discussing animatedly. The sudden withdrawal of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect caused them all to feel incredulous! But from the looks of it, if the Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect really quit, it would be equivalent to isolating them from the Zither Sound City! The alliance that had been set up against the core sect was instantly broken up.

"The plan needs to be continued!" Fish Scale Tian's face was gloomy, he looked coldly at the crowd of the Aquatic Sword Sect, "It's as Grand Elder said, we're already on the tiger's back, and furthermore, we won't necessarily lose this battle! One had to know that, besides the Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect, there are also many other cultivation sects in the Zither Sound Mountain Range that are secretly watching our every move! These people might be the key to the victory or defeat of this situation. Therefore, we cannot back off rashly! "

Jin Ling Feng hesitated, raised his head, looked at Yu Lin Tian, and said with worry: "But, the Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect's withdrawal, very likely means that the cultivation sects that are secretly watching us will also withdraw! What I'm worried about is that the Green Forest Sect, as they grow stronger and stronger, can already pose a great threat to us! It is true that we will be able to retreat, but right now, we might not even be able to leave the city gates of Qinyin City! Even if we can get out, it might not be complete! "

Yu Lin Tian frowned as he looked at the rest of the people in the hall. He realized that almost all of the upper echelons of Aquatic Sword Sect were like this. They all seemed to be in a difficult position. They all seemed to agree with Jin Lingfeng's words!

However, Fishy was not angry. Instead, he looked at Jin Lingfeng calmly, "Then, First Elder Jin, how do you think we should face this crisis?"

Jin Lingfeng, Tang Linton, and the others who were beside him all looked at each other. A trace of awkwardness appeared on their faces!

"Retreat from the Zither Sound City!" Go back to our territory! The Heavenly Dragon Sword Sect has left, and I failed as a spy. What are we still playing here for? Why don't we go back and honestly develop Aquatic Sword Sect? That is the most important thing! " Although Tang Linton was the seventh elder of the Aquatic Sword Sect, after the kidnapping incident, the seventh elder no longer had much confidence in himself and the Aquatic Sword Sect.

The moment Tang Linton said this, the hall burst into an uproar. It was obvious that many of the higher ups of the Aquatic Sword Sect felt that the Seventh Elder's words were correct.
