What kind of person could steal a map under the Chu Family's such stringent guard?
And stealing the Chu Family's map was one thing, but the disciples at the Sword-Viewing Gathering were the elite of the Five Continents.
That was offending all Five Continents in one stroke. Who could be so brazen?
"Could it be someone from the Kongkong Sect?"
Sword Saint Dang said, "We have already sent people to ask. The Kongkong Sect has no disciples capable of such a feat."
Lin Qi's thoughts wandered. "Could there be a disciple who once studied at the Kongkong Sect, possessed extraordinary talent, and was eventually expelled over some matter?"
Lin Qi had merely guessed according to a common pattern, yet Sword Saint Dang actually pondered her words seriously for a moment.
"You have a point."
She waved a hand. "Send people to the Kongkong Sect again. Ask according to what Little Friend Lin said."
"Yes!"
Before leaving, Sword Saint Dang gave Lin Qi a gift and told her to open it after leaving the Chu Family.
Lin Qi suppressed her curiosity and departed.
The moment she passed through the gates, she opened Sword Saint Dang's gift for inspection. On top lay a beast-hide map.
Lin Qi nearly immediately guessed that this was the Five Gods Battlefield map held by the Chu Family.
The Chu Family cultivators had later told Lin Qi that they learned the map had been stolen when news of their gifting it to someone spread.
Lin Qi was not particularly surprised by the map gifted by the Chu Family.
Setting down the map, Lin Qi saw a Phoenix Feather.
This Phoenix Feather actually bore her mother's aura!
Lin Qi's pupils constricted. She hurriedly picked up the Phoenix Feather and examined it carefully, only to discover writing upon it.
