Mi Jin nodded noncommittally, yet puzzled, he asked, “Quelling the Red Cloud Village issue isn’t a big deal, but how to defy the Du Clan?”

“The Sect Head is unaware.” Mi Zhen, brought up this issue with such emotion that his voice involuntarily rose, “This morning, I went to Red Cloud Mountain and tried to entice the Du Clan with extremely generous conditions, but Du Sha kept making excuses. So, I set another appointment for tomorrow. Just now, I heard that without turning down the Mi Clan’s approach, Du Sha agreed to Tang Luo’s plan for civilian recruitment, which has enraged me!

At first, I thought it was due to his aloof nature, but having thoroughly examined the archives of Red Cloud Village for hundreds of years, I realized it wasn’t so.”

Cloud Village had been delegated to him because of his acquaintance with Du Sha, hence he thought he almost had it in the bag. He certainly had read the archives of

“At the peak of its power, the Du Clan had a population of 5000, with six members in the Fierce Realm. Armed with the formidable Red Cloud Skill, they were by no means inferior to the typical prestigious families in Xiling. But now, the Du Clan’s population is less than a thousand.
