Sima Quan looked at Fang Dong's dead body and scoffed with a disdainful expression.
"Damn you!" he cursed. He didn't look at the dead body anymore and returned to the Sima clan with his men. Back inside the main hall, Sima Ru had recovered quite a bit and looked a lot more energetic now.
Fang Yin's poison was really powerful. It made one's limbs weak and unable to retaliate. It also caused a searing pain in the muscles and it was terribly painful. "Senior Elder, does the Sima clan really have to hand the secret texts over to Jiang Ning?" he turned to look at Sima Quan.

Sima Quan was now the Senior Elder of the Sima clan, and was the person that Sima Ru trusted the most.

"We must give it to him." Sima Quan nodded. The expression on his face was extremely solemn.
"Is it because he's too powerful and we can't afford to offend him?" asked Sima Ru.
"That's one part of the reason." Sima Quan didn't deny that.
Jiang Ning's power was incredible without a doubt, and nobody could push Jiang Ning to his limit, so nobody knew exactly how formidable he really was. But the important part wasn't Jiang Ning's fighting prowess.
After spending tin Donghai, Sima Quan could see that the most frightening thing about Jiang Ning wasn't his martial arts gifting, but his heart! His genuine and pure heart! "He is someone who will change the rules," said Sima Quan. "No matter which circle he's in, regardless of whether it's the society at large, the martial arts circle or even the reclusive clans of Mount Zhongnan. If he wants to change the rules, he will change them!" "There's almost nobody else who can do such a thing." He took a deep breath as he recalled how Sima Gang wanted to kill Jiang Ning in Donghai, but was surrounded by everybody in Donghai instead. That picture was truly terrifying! He never wanted to experience that ever again.
"Moreover, does the Sima clan have enough power to fight for any say in this?" Sima Quan laughed self- deprecatingly. "We're left with only three highly skilled fighters at Elder level, and we're considered lucky already. Even if we get the manual and find that place, we will still have to rely on Jiang Ning and the Fang clan to get anything out of it." "So working together is the best option. Or rather, we should attach ourselves to them." He didn't think that doing this was shameful.
This was just something that happened naturally due to the circumstances and they didn't have any other choice. In fact, this could even be an opportunity for the Sima clan to get rid of the way they used to be and to embark on a new path.
If he hadn't spent tin Donghai, Sima Quan would never have felt this way. But after he had witnessed Jiang Ning's prowess and the attractiveness of his personality, he suddenly started feeling this way. The thing he was worried about most was that Fang Yin had escaped...

Sima Quan knew how frightening that fellow was. Someone as formidable as Sima Gang had died at kis hands, and the other reclusive clans' Senior Elders had been attacked easily by him as well. This Fang Yin was no ordinary man. As long as he was still alive, he was still an unknown variable.
He exchanged glances with Sima Ru and they could both see the worry in each other's eyes.
They were not only worried about the future of the Sima clan, but also for the future of the eight reclusive blans of Mount Zhongnan. Everything in front of them seemed to be dark, but there also seemed to be a small beam of light that lit up the path into the distance. When Jiang Ning returned to Donghai, the first thing he did wasn't to look for Lin Yuzhen but Butler Zhao.
There were more than a hundred monitors inside the huge information network center and they displayed footage from different cameras 24 hours a day. "I've already placed cameras at all the exits of Mount Zhongnan a long tago, but there's no trace of Fang Yin.
I don't know where that underground tunnel of his goes to." X
