'They didn't dare face me head-on, so they paid others to kill me instead.'
'Logically speaking, the wealth those Holy Son Candidates possessed shouldn't have been enough to hire a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to risk their life.'
'The Elders backing them must have stepped in to help.'
'But that was to be expected.'
'After the ten Holy Son Candidates were chosen, besides their original masters, many Hall Masters and Peak Masters in the Wandao Sect would also place their bets.'
'It wasn't that no one wanted to bet on me, but I had Xue Kui refuse them all.'
'Their bets would have to be repaid with favors in the future. They'd want a piece of the pie.'
'But once I become the Sect Leader of Wandao Sect, I'm going to purge the sect from top to bottom.'
"It's nothing."
After searching the assassin's soul, Xiao Mo decapitated him with a single slash.
'When I get back to the Sect, I'll have Xue Kui investigate and settle the score with each of these Elders and Peak Masters.'
