Chapter 52: The Failed Plans

Song Junwan spent some time before she finally stabilized her Cultivation base and then opened her eyes. Exhaustion and tiredness were clear in her eyes and even her face seemed to have aged.

Lan Ming got worried and held her hand, as she asked.

"Are you really okay, Elder Sister?"

"Don't worry about me but worry about the sect. I won't last long so you need to take over this Sect and shoulder the responsibility. However, that's what a Sect Leader is telling you."

Song Junwan smiled, as she rubbed Lan Ming's head.

"But as your Elder Sister, I will advise you to take your faction's people and leave the Sect. This Sect....is not ours now."

Lan Ming was shocked hearing that. She had an idea about what was going on in the sect but she didn't imagine it would escalate to such lengths so quickly. She had thought they still had a chance of winning and that's why she was working hard to find allies.

"Don't worry about me, dear. I'm already half foot in grave. I'll watch over you when you escape. You said this Shen Yu is very powerful, right? Go to him and see if he takes you all in. If not, then go and hide somewhere and at no cost you should come out for a few months or maybe a year or two."

Song Junwan looked at her hands and continued.

"I had thought I'll be able to hold for a few move days and then send the disciples to you. However, it seems it's impossible now. So, take advantage that I'm still in a state to fight otherwise we'll all be killed and our heritage of Wind Flower Sect will be lost."

Lan Ming bit her lips as tears began to roll on her cheeks. However, then her gaze suddenly landed on the jade bottle and an idea came to her mind.

It was the Selfor Peak, which Lan Ming was peak Lord of. That was the only faction left that was loyal to them. That was one of the reasons they were running

Lan Ming's smile disappeared as a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart. The closed they got to the mountain peak, the more she felt that something was wrong. Something was definitely wrong. She couldn't put in words but she was sure something bad had happened.

Remembering the disciples that trained under her, she got anxious but forced herself to calm down.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll make sure of that even if I had to die."

Lan Ming nodded and ran towards the mountain peak as fast as could. She didn't even bother hiding now since she knew that they had been exposed otherwise they wouldn't get this bad feeling.

It was then, suddenly her senses began to scream of crises as her scalp began tingling. Her heart stopped for a second as she raised her head to look at the beam of light that was closing in on her rapidly. It was so fast and so close that she couldn't even dodge it.

However, her vision darkness as she realised that Song Junwan was standing in front of her. The beam landed on her, forcing her to take a step back and cough up black blood. However, she had successfully deflected the beam of light as it landed song distance away, destroying the upper part of a small mountain.

"Elder Sister!!!"

Lan Ming cried in shock and worry as she summoned her sword, coming in front of Song Junwan. She looked around with her guards up, ready to intercept the next attack.

"Looks like they were prepared more than we thought."

Song Junwan wiped the blood from the corner of her sleeves and looked at the mountain peak from where the beam of light had came.

All of their plans had already been exposed and turned against them.
