Story context
Well, well, well. If it isn’t the reckoning. Last chapter, we saw Source Ancestor step in to save Ji Ning from the Seamless Gate’s assassination squad. Now, the old man makes his true intentions clear: he wants Ji Ning as his disciple! But before Ji Ning can even process this incredible offer, a far greater problem presents itself. He's already a disciple of Patriarch Subhuti, and taking a new master without his permission could create a terrible conflict of loyalty. While Ji Ning wrestles with this dilemma, the Seamless Gate leadership is left utterly demoralized, having lost a batch of treasures and any face they had left. And just when Source Ancestor demands Ji Ning spill the name of his master… who should appear but the man himself. Get ready for an epic showdown of Daofather-level negotiations!
Why it matters
Alright, brace yourselves. We've entered a major political landmark in the story. This isn't a chapter about combat power, though Source Ancestor waving away avatars with a pair of scissors is a glorious flex. This is a chapter about the power of alliances and the importance of loyalty. Watch how the Seamless Gate's leadership reacts. It’s a masterclass in how to handle public failure: blame the other guy, grit your teeth, and wait for orders from on high.
