It was indeed a coincidence.
The day after Lin Wan'er had left, Zhou Mingde was informed by Taoist Mingjing that there was a meeting to attend.
It turned out that all the Golden Core Stage Cultivators also knew that the White Dragon branch was difficult to attack, so they convened all the Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators to gather opinions and see if they could brainstorm some useful strategies.
By the time Zhou Mingde followed Taoist Mingjing into the stone hall that served as the meeting venue, he saw thirty-nine Golden Core Stage Cultivators sitting in two rows with crossed legs.
They, the Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators, could only sit in order behind the two rows of Golden Elixir Cultivators.
Once all the summoned Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators arrived, the number in the hall had already exceeded one hundred and fifty.
"All right, now that everyone is here, we can begin,"
spoke a middle-aged man dressed in silver robes with white hair at the top of the grand hall.
