It had to be said, this was a very bold conjecture.
If the Blue Robe Sect had not been founded at the goddess's behest, then it implied a terrifying consequence: the Ice and Snow Goddess had lost control of her mortal church. No true god could tolerate such a thing.

Closing the documents in his hands, Xu Nan steadied himself.
When the old man had come to ask for their help, he had clearly withheld
