If, just a moment ago, Jishan had been entertaining the idea of capturing Yang An and the others who attacked the Golden Soul Sect's branch and taking them back to the Central Sect, then now, after learning they were acting on the Golden Thread Pavilion's orders, he was certain. He had to kill this boy and eliminate the rest, root and stem. None could be left alive.
Since the Golden Thread Pavilion had ordered them to attack the Chongwen State branch, perhaps it was a warning, or perhaps it was a premeditated plot against the Golden Soul Sect.
Regardless of whether the Golden Thread Pavilion had discovered their dealings with the Great Virtue Temple, these people had to die.
Although he was the Third Elder of the Golden Soul Sect, he only had the right to advise on the sect's major decisions, not the power to make them.
In other words, the cooperation between the Golden Soul Sect and the Great Virtue Temple was the sect's top priority, and it could not be changed.
