Old Ancestor Zhang Bailiu thought it over carefully and felt that Lin Bai had a point.
If those people had wanted to kill the Holy Sons and old ancestors of the top sects, they would have done so long ago. Why go to the trouble of abducting them?
For now, it seemed that they were at least safe and not in any danger of losing their lives.
"Have we received any news from the Heaven and Earth Gate?"
Lin Bai suddenly asked about the Heaven and Earth Gate again. He remembered that before entering seclusion, Old Ancestor Zhang Bailiu had said that the Heaven and Earth Gate did not want to fulfill the imperial clan's promise and had repeatedly delayed the imperial clan's arrangements.
At this, Old Ancestor Zhang Bailiu's brows furrowed deeply. He shook his head again and again and sighed. "Don't mention it. The few treasured lands that the imperial clan ordered the Heaven and Earth Gate to return to us have all been refused with one excuse or another!"
After thinking for a moment, he said to Lin Bai, "The Heaven and Earth Gate is probably trying to stall for time and wait for changes in the imperial capital, to see whether they can benefit from them."
"Holy Son, what do you think we should do?"
Lin Bai shook his head. "There's no need to care about the Heaven and Earth Gate's attitude. Just inform the imperial clan of everything."
He then said to Zhang Bailiu, "Old Ancestor, sometimes you can't be too honest when dealing with people. When it's time to spice things up, spice things up."
"But fortunately, we discovered an immortal-jade vein beneath the Water Mirror Sea. Once we mine it bit by bit, it will at least replenish some of our immortal jade."
