Intense Probing

The sky was clear, with not a cloud for thousands of miles, yet continuous rumbling thunder echoed in Luo Hong's ears, sometimes violently explosive like fire, sometimes brief and piercing.

This was neither thunder from a clear sky nor demons causing havoc. It was four Nascent Soul Late-stage Great Cultivators battling a thousand miles away!

And Luo Hong himself was responsible for this situation.

"Misjudged it, yet not entirely. Does this count as owing someone a favor?"

Watching the ever-changing spiritual radiance on the horizon, Luo Hong shook his head and muttered to himself.

On the surface, Yueyang Palace had only one Great Elder with nascent soul late-stage cultivation. Therefore, according to Luo Hong's calculations, the pursuers Yueyang Palace sent should have been only Gongsun Yang and a group of disciples.

After all, Qingyun Temple's affair did not warrant Yueyang Palace deploying its hidden strength. In the end, it was merely about salvaging some face.

Face might seem useless, but to those great sects, it was deterrence!

Once it was lost, endless trouble would follow. Thus, if it could be recovered, they had to recover it.

As a Supreme Elder of Yueyang Palace, Gongsun Yang spent his days battling wits and courage against the Old Demons of the demonic sects. Naturally, he was an extremely shrewd man.

Could he truly fail to see the suspicious aspects of this matter?

Perhaps he would miss them in a moment of rage, but once his mind settled, he would certainly notice that something was wrong.

However, he would never stop because of that. His purpose was to restore Yueyang Palace's honor, and he did not care where that compensation came from.

In Luo Hong's original plan, As Long As Gongsun Yang forced the two demons out, he would be unable to extricate himself.
