With a thought, the Ning Clan Leader shot the Mu Family Patriarch a look, signaling him to urge the others to attack.
But this time, the Mu Family Patriarch acted as if he hadn't seen it, turning his head away.
'He was scared to death.'
'The fate of the He Family Master was a clear warning. If I take the lead, what will I do if Song Wanning cuts me down with a single sword strike?'
'Besides, it was the Ning Clan Leader who had given the orders from the beginning. It's only natural that he should be the one to act now.'
'Better him than me, anyway.'
The Mu Family Patriarch's reaction thoroughly infuriated the Ning Clan Leader, who cursed him endlessly in his mind.
'These people are so shameless, only thinking of hiding behind me to reap the benefits!'
But the situation was urgent, and there was no more time to delay.
