"What the..."
Xu Tao groaned as he looked around.
From his memory, there should have been barely twenty people here. There were supposed to be five outer disciples of the Azure Dragon Sect, five of Jehanne's soldiers, Arthur, and a few dark elves he'd taken in.
However, now, there were even a few races that Xu Tao had never seen before.
They came in various shapes and sizes... but all had one thing in common—they were pointing some kind of weapon at him.
"W-We greet the Great Elder!"
The next moment, the five outer disciples rushed forward and knelt, pressing their heads to the ground. From their actions, they looked panicked, probably because they had just pointed blades at him moments ago.
Of course, aside from sparring, pointing a weapon toward an elder within the sect was tantamount to treason. If caught red-handed, punishment could range from fifty lashes up to immediate execution.
Thus, their reactions weren't over the top, but the natural consequence of their blunder.
