After disciple Liu Baiwan recounted what had happened, Jun Changxiao fell into deep thought.
Over the past few years, he had ransacked quite a few Forbidden Lands. He knew full well there was an unwritten rule in the Upper Realm: whoever entered and obtained good things owned them. Could Dao Sect disciples possibly not know that?
Besides, Earth Response Stones were not anything valuable.
Making a fuss with Eternal Sect Disciples over such trivial nonsense, then directly resorting to violence in the end—no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like...
"Sect Master."
Ye Xingchen frowned. "In this disciple's view, they deliberately came looking for trouble with our Eternal Sect!"
After taking possession of the Devil Ancestor's body, this fellow's intelligence seemed to have noticeably improved.
"My master is True Person Tonggu. There is no way Tianhua Dao Sect does not know that. For them to deliberately provoke us in a Forbidden Land, someone must be backing them from behind," Jun Changxiao guessed.
When the Dao Stone Mineral Vein had appeared earlier, many factions had come, including Dao-word level ones. After he defeated the elder of Lingtian Immortal Sect, had they not all obediently left? Unless Tianhua Dao Sect had been kicked in the head by a donkey, why would they take the initiative to stir up trouble?
"Sect Master."
Li Luoqiu walked in and said, "The investigation has been completed."
"Speak."
"Tianhua Dao Sect was founded fifty thousand years ago. After rising to the True-word level, it latched onto the great tree that was Lingtian Immortal Sect, and in a mere ten thousand years, it leaped up to become a Dao-word level sect."
"Oh?"
Jun Changxiao's interest was piqued.
Li Luoqiu continued, "Every ten years, Tianhua Dao Sect sends outstanding disciples to cultivate at Lingtian Immortal Sect.
