Qu Jianlei frowned slightly at that. "What connection is there between those two matters?"
"There is," True Immortal Shen Miao replied bluntly. "The Upper Realm wants to trade for the Asura Nest, and at the same time suspects that the Ancestor was framed."
"Framed... heh." Qu Jianlei could only give a dry laugh. It was hardly surprising; everyone would think their own side was innocent.
"You need to discuss this with True Immortal Jiken, or Bu, Immortal Maiden would work too."
"The Upper Realm told me to investigate quietly," True Immortal Shen Miao said whatever came to mind. "It would be best if we could prove our own innocence."
"Sorry, I can't help you with that." Qu Jianlei shook his head. "I'm looking for the mastermind behind this too!"
True Immortal Shen Miao froze for a moment before abruptly speaking. "Does Ridge Lord Qu have a companion who went missing in the Forgotten Peninsula?"
"Hm?" Qu Jianlei glanced at him, his brow faintly furrowing as he asked calmly, "Who told you that?"
"My divination skills aren't bad!" Stalwart Master Shen Miao replied proudly. "The Upper Realm has confirmed it as well. That person is currently trapped!"
Qu Jianlei fell silent. For a moment, he was actually at a loss for words. He knew the Five Great Factions' Sect Masters were certainly no weaklings, but he had not expected them to be this formidable.
Was it a trap? It did not seem like one. Besides, with Shen Miao's personality, the odds of him setting someone up were truly low.
The main thing was that Qu Jianlei had not expected this topic to suddenly come up. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "You're sure he's trapped?"
"Of course," Stalwart Master Shen Miao answered without hesitation, raising a hand to point overhead.
