Since Sun Yixie had already spouted his grandiose claims, he was certainly going to tough it out and step up.
Therefore, while Huang Donglai was tying up Xiao Wuji and Jiang Muchan was helping Double Xie with the luggage, Sun Yixie had already taken the lead, charging out of the temple gate alone, bursting onto the street with a trident in hand.
As for the band of Fire Lotus Sect followers outside, the moment they saw Sun Yixie brandishing his trident, they knew they had been exposed too. So, they no longer hid—instead, every single one of them emerged from their hiding places, surrounding the decrepit temple openly and forming three layers outside and three inside.
You might be wondering at this point, if they already had so many people in place, why wait outside? Why not directly storm in?
The answer is simple: they didn't want to end up like those from Qinglian Hall.
