"Ancestor, are we really just leaving like this? The Grand Elder and Fifth Elder..."
Looking back and seeing that Chen Che and the others were no longer in sight, someone finally mustered the courage to ask.
Ye Yuanji's face was grim. "Going all out to take them down with us would be simple," he rebuked. "But what would happen after the battle? Would we be left with a shattered family, at the mercy of others?"
He was the ancestor of a clan first, and a Cultivator second.
If he went all out, he could indeed kill all of them. But what then? Five Elders had already fallen; all of their top-tier combat power was lost. Were they to lose the core strength of their clan here as well?
"Our foundation is still intact. In a hundred years or so, we can produce a few more at Great Perfection. The worst-case scenario is simply splitting Yunzhou three ways."
Hearing this, everyone had mixed feelings.
