A boiling clamor poured into his ears. With such a commotion, the cultivators below were naturally startled at once. Radiance flared, and streaks of multicolored Startling Rainbows shot into the sky, pouncing toward Lin Xuan.
There was no surprise on Lin Xuan's face. Before coming, he had already investigated everything clearly. Although Spirit Fox Venerable had no intention of founding a sect, he was by no means a solitary man.
Rather, he had taken in quite a few disciples and followers.
If Lin Xuan had guessed correctly, the ones coming here should be his disciples and grand-disciples.

Most were evil cultivators, committing every evil deed imaginable in their daily lives.
Uprooting his entire line could also be counted as acting on Heaven's behalf.
