All along, Nine Heavens Grand Purity Palace had been known for treating others kindly.
It had almost never taken the initiative to declare war on any sect.
Let alone directly confronting Yuan Sect as it did now—it was truly baffling no matter how one thought about it.
Even these two elders, both renowned Strong Persons of the Eastern Mystical Region, could not make out what Nine Heavens Grand Purity Palace was thinking.
"Just where did Nine Heavens Grand Purity Palace get the confidence to do this?"
Ying Xuanzi murmured, a puzzled expression on his face.
He knew something of Qiu Qinghan, the Palace Master of Nine Heavens Grand Purity Palace.
Although this woman was aloof, stubborn, and wore a face as cold and lifeless as a corpse—
she was absolutely no fool.
On the contrary, she was highly capable, intelligent, and wise.
As a woman, she had upheld the enormous Nine Heavens Grand Purity Palace and kept it standing firm,
securing its place among the eight Super Sects.
There was no need to question this woman's methods.
A woman like her could not possibly make such an unwise decision as declaring war on Yuan Sect for no reason.
Everyone knew Yuan Sect's strength well.
Qiu Qinghan knew it too.
If she had nothing to rely on, Ying Xuanzi believed Qiu Qinghan would never have acted so forcefully.
Yet no matter how hard he tried, he could not guess what that backing was.
What could make Qiu Qinghan behave so out of character and directly go to war with Yuan Sect?
Moreover, even if Qiu Qinghan did have support behind her, there was no reason to wage war against Yuan Sect.
Could it be that Yuan Sect had somehow offended Nine Heavens Grand Purity Palace beyond redemption?
These doubts lingered in
