"How dare you!" The white-haired woman glared at Shen Aobing angrily, "When I handed over the position of the sect leader to you, is this how you repay me by betraying my trust?"

Just as Shen Aobing was about to say something, her elder sister Shen Aoshuang grabbed her hand and gently smiled, "Let me explain."

"What good will your words do?" Shen Aobing angrily shrugged off her sister's hand and muttered, but she did not escalate the conflict.

Shen Aoshuang looked at the white-haired woman warmly, "Junior Master."

"Do we two sisters still matter in the eyes of our Junior Master?" The white-haired woman scoffed sarcastically.

Shen Aoshuang said, "Of course, you do. However, when it comes to this matter, our views differ from those of our seniors."

The white-haired woman humphed coldly, and the other white-haired women next to her, all wearing a solemn expression, stared at Shen Aoshuang.

Unlike Shen Aobing, Shen Aoshuang had always been an obedient girl since childhood. Apart from that matter with the worldly emperor once, she had never worried the elders.

Moreover, Shen Aoshuang was the most brilliant genius of the Immortal in over a thousand years, similar to Hua Xiaoya's status in One Sword.

If it weren't for that incident, the position of Immortal's leader would definitely not have fallen upon Shen Aobing's shoulders.

But many years have passed since that incident. Now Shen Xingxue has grown so much, times change, people change, the resentment of the old ancestors on the Immortal's side has mostly faded. Therefore, their perception of Shen Aoshuang is much more favorable.

"Speak then." The white-haired woman spoke coldly but gave Shen Aoshuang a chance to explain.

"The elders should have some knowledge about the grievances between Xiao Bing and the young man." Instead of explaining directly, Shen Aoshuang began with this matter.

Shen Aobing frowned at the side but didn't interrupt.

The white-haired woman nodded and glanced at Shen Aobing, "We were somewhat puzzled too. Considering deep grievances, why would you act like this? Were you truly frightened by that little fellow's threat? It's laughable! Can he challenge the entire Immortal all by himself? Humph… If I hadn't been preoccupied, I would've dealt with that little insolent personally long ago!"

Shen Aoshuang smiled slightly, "Junior Master, there's no need to stoop in contending with a child. There's more to the story than meets the eye…"

Then, Shen Aoshuang began to speak about Chu Mo's affairs from a few years ago, when he was rejected by Longevity Heaven as a disciple, to now growing into a strong innately powered individual. She told everything in detail.

In the end, Shen Aoshuang said, "That mighty person who suddenly appeared in our Immortal's ancestral land, why couldn't he… kill Chu Mo himself?"

"Perhaps he looked down upon it." Another white-haired woman suggested.

"Do you truly believe this conjecture, dear elders?" Shen Aoshuang smiled subtly.

The white-haired women opposite fell into deep thought.

"Xiao Bing and I think that this matter… is not something that we can intervene in. While that person… is indeed an incredible powerhouse, Chu Mo's… is also full of mystery. In any case, we do not wish to get involved in this." Shen Aoshuang said softly.

"What you say… makes sense. The thing that person gave… we did not give it to you for the reason that we felt it was somewhat strange. However, since you feel this way, why did you… place our two direct disciples beside that lad?" The white-haired woman questioned.

"In fact, they both wished to be there, that's one reason." Shen Aoshuang continued softly, pre-empting the white-haired woman who was about to speak, "Secondly, even though Xingxue and Yiniang didn't tell us anything, over this period of time, both their cultivation levels had greatly increased. Such a dramatic increase, in the context of Immortal, would normally take at least a year or two, even if all resources are used on them."

"What? Is there such a thing?" The white-haired woman was somewhat stunned, looking at Shen Aoshuang with an incredulous expression.

Shen Aoshuang nodded confidently, "There's no room to lie in such matters. The junior master and elders… you will know once you verify."

"So, are you suggesting that we stand by Chu Mo's side in this?" The white-haired woman furrowed her brows, still somewhat unsure. Sighing, she muttered, "That sudden appearance of a man… was so formidable that it's beyond belief. Once he looks at me… I'm not able to move an inch. I do understand that we shouldn't kill that lad as he commanded, but in this world… where are there that many rights and wrongs?"

"Indeed there aren't many rights and wrongs, but Junior Master, we should still have some bottom lines." Shen Aoshuang commented.

"Ah, forget it, for so many years we, Immortals, have weathered every storm, even without this opportunity, we might not necessarily be inferior to them. You two sisters did a great job, much more so than us old folks." The white-haired woman sighed, her face showing a sense of bleakness.

Shen Aoshuang said softly, "The sect cannot do without you elders. With you in command, we can rest assured."

"Elder Sister, what Frost had said makes a lot of sense." Another white-haired woman said softly, "This matter is indeed hard to predict whether it brings fortune or disaster. Moreover, that man who killed millions of mortals with a wave of his hand, even if he regards people as ants, this kind of behavior is absolutely heinous, else how would it have provoked heavenly sanctions? Cooperating with such person is like courting death."

"Yes, Frost is right. There are many things in this world that aren't right or wrong, but we should have our own bottom lines." Another white-haired woman joined in.

Watching this scene, Shen Aobing felt a twinge of bitterness. Despite being the sect leader of Immortal for so many years, she had yet to receive a compliment. But her sister seemed to have always been the darling of the elders. If it were the previous Shen Aobing, she would have been sure to argue with them.

But after going through so much, even if she refused to admit it verbally, Shen Aobing had come to understand deep inside that she had been wrong about many things.

Compared to One Blade and Immortal who had given up cooperating with that man and chose to remain neutral, Lonely City and Beyond Heaven, the two top martial arts sects, were determined to walk this path till the end.

Neither the people of Lonely City nor Beyond Heaven hesitated or argued when they met with the old members of the sects. There was only one thing on their minds: discuss how they could complete the task given by the big man alone by shaking off the other three Great Sects!

At this time, neither Lonely City nor Beyond Heaven knew that the two sects, One Blade, and Immortal, had already given up.

They all wanted to complete this before everyone else to establish a relationship with that big man to ensure a smooth path in the future.

The four major sects, because of one person, embarked on two completely different paths.

Who is right?

At this moment… Those who are part of this situation cannot figure it out.
