In his mind, Su Mo and Yang Qingxi were the only people capable of helping the sect overcome its crisis, and he genuinely hoped to persuade them to cooperate.
Unfortunately... He had absolutely no idea that he himself had been deceived.
The respected, kind, and self-sacrificing Old Ancestor, whom he had admired all his life, had never intended to negotiate in the first place. From beginning to end, the old man had been carrying out an entirely different scheme behind everyone's backs.
Wu Haruto rubbed his forehead before shaking away those thoughts.
"It's still not too late."
"After we find them, I'll explain everything properly."
With that decision made, he summoned the guards stationed outside his office.
Within moments, emergency orders spread throughout the entire sect.
Every disciple, elder, and even the civilians residing within the sect grounds received the same instruction.
Search immediately for Su Mo, Yang Qingxi and Elder Song Meilin.
