Chapter 1197 Sore Spot

• "Hmm." Lucian didn't care much for the situation at hand. His decision to assist the Spirit Sect turned his journey to the Nine Suns Sect into a one-way path. If Favian ever found out, Lucian doubted he could survive, even with that protective barrier. So, everything depended on his acting skill.
• As Lucian contemplated this, he quickly realized the implications and turned to Zacharias. "When I return, I'll inform Favian that the Spirit Sect caused Joven's death. This will undoubtedly expose the Spirit Sect's location. Moreover, killing Joven will infuriate Favian. Favian will likely send his men here immediately, and his retaliation will be far more severe than this. Whether you choose to escape with the sect members or ambush them, you need to consider your options carefully."
• Zacharias was a capable man. Once informed, he knew how to handle the situation; he needed no further advice from Lucian.
