Lin Bai had never thought of this either. It was only after meeting the Sect Masters of the Overturning Heavens Sect and the Worship Heaven Sect that enlightenment suddenly struck him.
He realized that the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace and the Northern Region might very well have such a follow-up plan.
Lin Bai had never understood why the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace and the Northern Region had gone to such lengths to spread the news.
As the Sect Masters of the Overturning Heavens Sect and the Worship Heaven Sect, along with the leaders of the sects whose Holy Sons had been abducted, arrived in the imperial capital one after another, Lin Bai gradually formed a new opinion.
Could the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace and the Northern Region have hidden some of the Holy Sons and Ancestors in the imperial capital, waiting until the sect leaders had gathered there before brutally killing them and delivering their corpses before those sect leaders?
In particular... if the corpses of those Holy Sons were found in the residences or private estates of members of the imperial clan, then the imperial clan would have no way to clear its name.
"So Wolf Marquis means... the Northern Region and the Nine Underworlds Demon Palace may have transferred only some of the Holy Sons and Ancestors to the Northern Region, while hiding most of the others in the imperial capital."
"Their goal is to kill the Holy Sons after the sect leaders arrive in the imperial capital, driving those leaders completely out of control and making them turn against the Chu Empire?"
The Emperor of Chu drew a deep breath and analyzed the matter clearly.
The advisers behind him also racked their brains at lightning speed, sorting out the entire chain of events.
