"What Alchemist Shen said is logical. If those two are truly connected to the Asura Clan in some way and we kill them, it’d spell the end of our faction," one of the elders said, breaking the silence.
"Then what should we do with them? The chances of them being ’friends’ with the Asura Clan are slim to none, and if we bother the Asura Clan, it might affect our relationship with them," said another elder.
"Why don’t we hold off on contacting the Asura Clan and examine them for a little while before we make any decision?"
"That’s a good idea. We can just stall this for a little. If they turn out to be troublemakers, we’ll kill them."
Though the Inferno Alchemists’ stance might seem excessive, it revealed the depth of their fear toward the Asura Clan. In the Primordial Realm, even something as simple as approaching them to confirm an identity was anything but simple.
"I’ll let them know," said Alchemist Shen, who guided Yuan and Mu Xuelian to their headquarters.
While the elders continued to contemplate the situation some more, Alchemist Shen returned to Yuan’s guest house.
"We will be sending someone to the Asura Clan to confirm your identity soon," Alchemist Shen said to Yuan.
"So, how long is this going to take?"
"I’m not sure... but we’ll let you know immediately when we receive an answer."
Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There’s no way it should take more than a few hours, a few days at most. Don’t you have something to contact them directly?"
Alchemist Shen looked at him with a dumbfounded face and said, "Only our leader has direct communication with the Asura Clan, but even then, he can only use it during emergencies."
Yuan sighed out loud, "Why are they so hard to contact?"
Alchemist Shen remained silent.
"In any case, we just need to wait, right? Alright, but don’t take too long."
"Thank you for your understanding."
Meanwhile, at the Chaotic Sect, the cultivator who managed to survive revealed the situation to the Sect Leader and other elders.
"What did you say?! A mere True Immortal killed four God Ascension cultivators?! Do you really expect me to believe that?!" The leader of the Chaotic Sect angrily shouted after receiving this news from the sole survivor.
"I swear on my soul it’s true!"
The room fell silent for a moment.
"Sect Leader Zu! We must avenge Elder Zi and the others!" One of the elders suddenly exclaimed.
"How dare that bastard kill people from our Chaotic Sect! Our elders, no less!"
Hearing that they wanted revenge, the cultivator quickly said, "No! We shouldn’t!"
Everyone in the room turned to look at the cultivator with deep frowns on their faces.
