Fang Qingyuan had thought this appearance was just a routine matter—a chance for Bear Wind to flex his muscles and show everyone the Qingyuan Sect's strength, to justify the price Cui Dongcheng had paid.
However, the situation had taken a shocking turn. Fang Qingyuan had no desire to investigate the reasons behind it. The Illusion Sword Alliance had backstabbed its ally; they must have had their reasons. Now that three factions wanted Nie Xinyuan of the White Mountain Sword Sect dead, he had no choice but to side with the majority.
In the current situation, Bear Wind was ostensibly facing off against the Illusion Sword Alliance's Nascent Soul Cultivator. This freed up the Thick Earth Alliance's Nascent Soul Cultivator to support the Sharp Gold Alliance. As a result, Nie Xinyuan, who previously held a guaranteed victory, would no longer have such an easy time fighting two against one.
