The First Elder's group of five widened their eyes, looking at the Sect Master and then at the Seventh Elder. What exactly were these two fellows planning to do?
Were they trying to incite the anger of the various peaks and cause everyone to rebel?
Had the old Sect Master's prediction from a few days ago, that the sect would face a calamity, been referring to a rebellion among the peaks?
"You all have such strange expressions. As the Sect Master, I instructed the Seventh Elder to sweep through the peaks for contributions, and you five actually don't cooperate?" Mu Xingzhi spoke indifferently.
The First Elder frowned and asked respectfully, "Sect Master, what is the meaning of this?"
Mu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, "The Seventh Elder didn't tell you?"
The Seventh Elder quickly took over the conversation, "Sect Master, truly, there hasn't been a chance to explain to them, these days they all avoid me whenever they see me."
