Obtaining the Storm Sword

Ye Zong's heart skipped a beat. He originally thought that Ye Rou would go with Ye Chen. After he heard Ye Rou's words, it felt like his heart was struck by lightning. After the events that had occurred today, the Scarlet Flame Sect would be stepping in extremely dangerous territory. They were severing ties with the House of Storms who was going to prove to be a powerful enemy. The House of Storms just might exact their revenge on the Scarlet Flame Sect.

The House of Storms might not risk crossing Ye Chen due to his complicated background. However, the Scarlet Flame Sect was an easy target so the House of Storms had got to save some face somehow!

The current situation of the Scarlet Flame Sect was very unstable. If Ye Rou decided to leave the Scarlet Flame Sect, Ye Zong would not have much to say about it. After all, she did not grow up in the sect. Ye Rou's decision to remain in the sect and weather the storm together filled Ye Zong's heart with guilt.
