"Then we can't just wait here to die!"
"Who says we have to wait for death?" In the moonlight, his gaunt face looked like a skull. The He Family elder spoke in a ghostly tone, "The three great families are tied together like grasshoppers on a string. Since we can't get a response from the gods anyway, we must get the other two families to come up with some ideas."
He Yaozu swallowed his saliva, "Reveal our hand? Won't they distrust us?"
"Whether they trust us or not is not up to them. Without our He Family leading the summoning of the gods, the key rituals held by the other two families will be of no use!" The old man unsteadily got to his feet, "Let's go, have a good talk with them."
The rough candle in the cave was lit, casting eerie shadows like ghosts on the stone walls.
