The Im father and son did not rush. While expressing regret over the disputes that had occurred between the two great Golden Core sects and the immense damage caused as a result, they emphasized that the time had come for the two sects to set aside their grudges.
They championed the great cause of the human race as advocated by the Immortal Alliance, yet they did not invoke the name of the Immortal Alliance directly. That plea—if it could even be called a plea—was, in truth, meaningless.
Even if the Im father and son had not mediated the reconciliation, the two sects no longer had the capacity to continue fighting regardless.
Not to mention the Golden Sun Sect, which had been all but wiped out except for its spirit vein and a handful of surviving disciples; the Bright Scroll Sect, too, had lost its head in a single moment and no longer had the leisure to commit its strength to external matters.
Although Je Rim-so had, before departing, named his legacy disciple Seo Chung-ho as the next Sect Master, the appointment had been far too abrupt. And since a dead man’s words hold little sway, discord had already begun to stir within the Bright Scroll Sect.
