"I understand..."
Zhang Yao contemplated for a while, then slowly said:
"Li Shuixian has most likely defected to the Lingyang Sect and become their pawn."
"Behind this event, there might be directions from the True Yang Ancestor. Only direct pressure from a Golden Core Ancestor could force the other two major managers to surrender."
"Indeed."
Lord Bai slightly nodded and said:
"Daoist Brother Qingxu's analysis is spot on. Elder Cen, Brother Liang, and I share similar views."
"As of now, it's very likely that Yu Wen Tai encountered some mishap, whether alive or dead is uncertain, so there's no need to consider him further."
He paused for a moment, a hint of caution in his expression:
"The question is, when exactly did Li Shuixian pledge allegiance, and how long has the Lingyang Sect been preparing for this strike?"
"Not knowing this leaves us with uncertainty..."
