Shen Changqing's expression showed a bit of surprise.
Although he had already prepared himself to participate in the battle to see if he could reap any benefits, voluntarily going versus being passively summoned were completely different things.
Voluntarily going suggested that the Candle Sect still held some reservation towards this battle.
But if the direct disciples were required to participate compulsorily, it meant this battle was not just for show, but a real confrontation.
Cui Fu said: "According to the information I've heard, indeed all direct disciples must participate in the battle, but as for the specifics, I cannot confirm much at the moment. If the Peak Master hadn't emerged from seclusion today, I would have sent a message directly."
Now that the Peak Master has emerged from seclusion at just the right time, if you truly wish to understand, you might as well inquire with the Elder or Sect Master. I believe you can get accurate information."
