Jiang Caiyan had expected this long ago. She set down the teacup in her hand, rose, and said mildly, "First of all, behind this storm is the intent to wipe out every last one of you. The Dao Lords have been captured, and it is only a matter of time before you are settled with."
"That is why you are like ants on a hot pan, obeying Crippled Granny's instructions and coming here to gather for discussion. You are not worried about what will happen to the Dao Lords, but about whether you will be implicated!"
The moment these words came out, everyone present was shocked. She had actually seen straight through their thoughts.
But at the same time, they were also very curious. On what grounds was Jiang Caiyan so certain the Dynasty would arrest them too?
Seeing that they did not speak for a long while, Jiang Caiyan walked down from the platform while continuing, "Then the second point. You did not take advantage of the Dao Lords' capture to sit amid the chaos and profit from it... I imagine it is not because you are particularly loyal, but because they hold some leverage over you."
"Am I right?"
Her dark-blue eyes were like demonic pupils that seized the soul, as if they could summon the deepest fear in a person's heart.
Gu Yun, Wang Qiang, Tian Sheng, Lou Lixuan—these four people could sit firmly in the Dao Lord position, their forces spread across many places, able to keep everyone under control. How could they not have some methods?
"Have you never wondered why Gu Yun was willing to acknowledge me as master? Was it merely because I am Revered Lord Yu's daughter? No. It was because I also have means to hold your Dao Lords in check.
