Looking at the crowd of angry martial artists, a group of elders felt a headache coming on.

They could suppress dissent from a few dozen or even a hundred, but when the numbers grew, it became troublesome. Nearly thirty thousand martial artists represented not just themselves, but also the families behind them.

Nearly thirty thousand families, their anger was not something these outer sect elders could withstand.

The elders' faces were extremely gloomy. This time, such a big mistake had occurred. The sect would definitely blame them. With such a major incident, even inner sect elders wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility, let alone them.
