Before He Yu Peak, Xiao Yunfu took out a Jade Talisman that contained a handwritten decree. The decree explicitly instructed all Sects to act cautiously in recent days and guard against surprise attacks from the Demon Sects.
Seeing this decree, Qin Xin Ascendant immediately realized the other party was using a flimsy pretext to throw their weight around. However, not daring to anger them directly, she suppressed her fury and said, "Our Hegu Sect has already allied with the Celestial Sand Sect to jointly resist the Demon Cultivators. We will certainly perfect our defenses within the coming month."
She had made a considerable resolve when she said this. She knew she was bluffing by using another's prestige. If the Celestial Sand Sect took offense, she would truly be caught between a rock and a hard place. After all, neither of these two Sects was an existence their Hegu Sect could afford to offend.
