Chapter 271
The elders stopped breathing as they looked with shock at Old Man Lightning. What did he just say? Did he just say that the Lightning Sect could break apart? What was he on about?

“Don’t you think you are overreacting?” one of the elders asked Old Man Lightning.

Old Man Lightning crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. “If we don’t plan accordingly, this is a possible outcome. I am not overreacting,” he said.

“What do we have to plan for then?” asked another elder with urgency. “What is the problem?”

“Let me give you a hypothetical,” Old Man Lightning said and then looked at one of the elders specifically. “Stor! Let me give this hypothetical to you specifically. I think you are the best person for that.”

Stor was the only elder who wasn’t in panic right now. He actually looked into Old Man Lightning’s eyes with determination. “Go ahead,” he said evenly.

“Imagine yourself in Gravis’ shoes. I am reducing the strength of the Earth Sect’s disciples so that you actually feel the strength, or in this case, weakness of your enemies in front of you, just like Gravis. Gravis is about as strong as an average Sect Master, so, in your case, two people at the Seed Stage and ten people at the initial stage of Spirit Forming are coming at you. I have not told you all how the fight went because I want to see how you would react,” Old Man Lightning explained.
