Although Fan Changqing spoke as he did, he was actually well aware of the true reason Ning Chongxuan was summoned back.
In the Mingcang Sect, it is quite difficult for disciples to earn merit under normal circumstances, but the conquest of the Three Pools presented a tremendous opportunity for them.
Thus, many elders hoped to send their own disciples to participate, seizing the chance to earn some accolades, especially with the sect's full support—how could they not be eager for it?
Yet, with Ning Chongxuan's arrival, the entire Nandang Swamp fell under Mingcang Sect's control overnight. If this trajectory continued, it wouldn't be far-fetched to think he could lead his current forces straight into Perch Eagle Land Continent.
With his Second Grade Elixir Formation power and an exceptional Mystical Artifact at his side, it wouldn't be surprising if he succeeded in conquering it.
