Chapter 260
"Elder Zhao, do you know something about this?"
Elder Sun noticed his weird reaction and decided to ask .
Elder Zhao sighed and said, "There's no point in trying to hide it now… One of our disciples happened to encounter a Guardian Spirit a few months back, and we have been raising it ever since then . However, it seems like the Million Snakes Sect has learned of it . You should already know by now just how precious a Guardian Spirit is and what many people would sacrifice to get their hands on one . "
Elder Sun's eyes — and everybody there — widened with shock upon hearing such words .
"A Guardian Spirit, you say?"
Elder Sun couldn't believe that the Profound Blossom Sect would actually have such a precious yet dangerous thing in their possession . However, since a colossal power such as the Million Snakes Sect noticed a small place like them, it wasn't too unbelievable after all .
That being said, what's even more unbelievable to Elder Sun was the fact that Liu Lanzhi had allowed a Guardian Spirit to be even near the Profound Blossom Sect despite knowing very well that they are in no position to raise one — especially when they would not be able to protect it .
Having a Guardian Spirit may be a fortuitous encounter to some, but it is akin to a disaster waiting to happen if it falls into the hands of unworthy places such as the Profound Blossom Sect .
In other words, unless you have the ability to protect the Guardian Spirit from being stolen by others, one would normally avoid it or act as though they've never seen it before .
"And you kept silent despite being aware? Elder Zhao, how could you be so…"
Elder Sun shook his head in disappointment .
"Perhaps both the Sect Master and I were blinded by the overwhelming prowess a Guardian Spirit could bring to the Sect when we agreed to keep and cultivate the Guardian Spirit, or maybe we truly believed that we would be able to keep it a secret until it fully matured, but alas, as you can see what disaster it has brought upon us…"
Elder Sun shook his head and said, "I understand your feelings to a certain extent, but this is not the time to sit around and regret, as we still have to deal with the Million Snakes Sect . "
"Elder Wu, where is the Sect Master right now?"
Elder Wu shook her head .
"She disappeared after giving me the order to gather everyone here . "
Suddenly, Fang Zhelan appeared from the crowd, and she spoke, "The Sect Master went to meet the Million Snakes Sect… with the Guardian Spirit . "
"Disciple Fang!"
The sect elders there turned to look at her .
"How do you know this?"
Elder Sun asked .
"I spoke with her just before coming here," she responded .
"As for the Guardian Spirit… I was the one who found it and pleaded the Sect Master to keep it . "
"You…"
The sect elders there wanted to blame Fang Zhelan for the situation right now, but they believed that she was only trying to help the Sect, not to mention they would also do the same if they were in her shoes .
