Public evidence had made it clear that the Azure Lotus Sect had colluded with warriors from beyond the realm to scheme for the Devil Palace's territory. There was no doubt that this was forcing the Azure Lotus Sect onto a dead-end path.
The Azure Lotus Sect could never simply sit back and await death. To avoid being "cursed by a thousand men" throughout the Devil Palace's territory, the Azure Lotus Sect would certainly fight to the death.
That meant openly exposing the grudge between themselves and the Devil Palace. They might even fabricate all sorts of reasons to support launching a war.
Under ordinary circumstances, with no external enemies and no internal troubles, the Devil Palace could naturally deal with the Azure Lotus Sect properly.
But at this very juncture, with powerful enemies outside and internal disasters within, openly breaking with the Azure Lotus Sect—who was "maintaining neutrality on the surface while causing trouble in secret"—was clearly unwise.
That would only make the Devil Palace more enemies.
Therefore, after obtaining the evidence, Lin Bai had never considered making it public. He had merely handed the evidence over to the Devil Palace's upper echelons and had them preserve it properly.
If the Devil Palace found time to deal with the Azure Lotus Sect in the future, they could then produce the evidence and have a "just cause" for their actions.
As soon as Lin Bai finished voicing his opinion, Saint Elder Luo Yuanjing immediately said, "I agree with the Emperor Child's idea. Regarding the Azure Lotus Sect, if we can avoid putting the matter on the surface for now, then we should avoid putting it on the surface as much as possible!"
After saying that, he added two appropriate remarks: "The situation currently facing the Devil Palace is already complicated enough."
