In fact, as standard among China's second-tier Ancient Martial Arts sects, there are generally three to five First-Class Ancient Warriors or warriors at the Peak of First-Class Ancient Warrior, plus one Half-Step Innate Ancestor. As a middle-of-the-pack sect among the eleven major second-tier Ancient Martial Arts sects in the circle, the Holy Fire Sect's foundation and strength were slightly stronger than this standard, but only by a very limited margin.
Therefore, if those three—the Elder of Law Enforcement, Elder Zhong; Elder Xue Hongxin; and Zhou Duanyi—had truly met with trouble, it would most certainly be a major catastrophe for the Holy Fire Sect. It could even be described as crippling, a devastating blow to their core strength.
After all, although the strongest martial power in their Holy Fire Sect was his father, Junn Duanshan, the dignity and prestige of a great sect could not be maintained by just one person.
