The Hao Li Saint Ancestor disciple stationed at the hall entrance watched Xuan Zhongtian emerge from the great hall completely unharmed, and the smile that had been hanging on his face gradually vanished.
He seemed unable to understand why the Hao Li Saint Ancestor had not acted to punish him.
At that thought, a few threads of wariness rose in his heart.
The Hao Li Saint Ancestor had quite a few disciples under him, yet not a single one was a true personal disciple.
Thus, all the disciples went all out to display their abilities, hoping to win the Hao Li Saint Ancestor's favor.
Naturally, this gave rise to competition. It was commonplace for them to dislike one another, even to strike openly and in secret.
That a devil of acquired birth like Xuan Zhongtian could join the Hao Li Saint Ancestor's ranks had already been exceedingly strange. With what had just happened, this person naturally grew even more suspicious.
In the end, he said nothing and merely watched Xuan Zhongtian gradually depart.
Xuan Zhongtian paid this man no heed at all.
At this moment, the Hao Li Saint Ancestor's earlier words had instead drawn him into memories.
Others might only know that he had once belonged to the human race, and that he had brought his subordinate lower realm with him when he defected to the Devil Race.
But very few knew that he had another identity.
Xuan Zhongtian had been born into the Xuan Clan.
Yet the Xuan Clan had not risen to prominence in the Xuan Mo Realm, but in the Spirit Realm.
Even now, it remained one of the powerful forces in the Spirit Realm.
The reason was that a Mahayana Stage existence stood behind the Xuan Clan.
