"The Demon race army is pressing on the borders?!" The sect leader's exclamation echoed through the grand hall, every word striking the hearts of everyone present like a heavy boulder.

"Senior members, please hear me out!" I said loudly, pressing down the unease in my chest as my resolute gaze swept across the crowd.

If there is half a falsehood in my words, may heaven strike me down!"
