"Why go to such lengths? This matter came about through a twist of fate. How can it be called the Heavenly Witch Goddess's fault?"
Lin Xuan sighed. In the end, it was still because, after obtaining the Blue Star Sea, they had not kept it secret that they had drawn the covetous eyes of countless powerful beings.
At this thought, Lin Xuan also felt extremely fortunate. Thank goodness he had been clever and had always kept his lips sealed about the Blue Star Sea. Otherwise, if even the Ink Moon Tribe in its former prosperity had proven unable to withstand a single blow, then if he had carelessly let the secret slip, he would probably have long since fallen into a state beyond redemption, doomed through ten thousand calamities.

"Oh? Then what did the Heavenly Witch Goddess intend to do?" Lin Xuan was somewhat curious.
"Besides giving us guidance, Her Ladyship also made some arrangements. She hid the Ink Moon Tribe's treasures here, then had us guard them. She said that if, in the future, a cultivator of Tribulation Transcendence level who also practiced the Ink Moon Heaven Witch Art came here, that person would be counted as our Ink Moon Tribe's inheritor. She told us to assist them well. Perhaps our tribe would still have a chance to rise again from the eastern mountains."
"Oh?"
Lin Xuan finally understood why Xueling called him Young Master, and why she was respectful to such an extent, telling him every secret without the slightest reservation, like pouring beans from a Bamboo Tube. So there were such twists and turns behind it
