Among the human race were spineless wretches who bowed to the Hundred Clans. Naturally, among the Hundred Clans were also those who admired the human race, wishing to be recruited and to feast on fine food and drink.
Thus, the Beitang Imperial Clan had its own watchers and covert agents in the Arctic Ice Plains. Naturally, they could also relay certain major events occurring there back to the imperial clan.
The imperial clan had actually learned of Tong Lie's existence long ago. Only now, however, had they confirmed that he had been cultivated and created by the Heavenly Demon Palace Lord.
Tong Lie's departure from the Arctic Ice Plains to stir up storms in the Land within Divine Continent Passes was also inseparable from the Heavenly Demon Palace Lord's arrangements.
One thing was clear: as a member of a foreign race, without receiving an imperial investiture or the permission of the human race's fortune, Tong Lie should have had most of his strength suppressed by the human race's fortune upon entering the Land within Divine Continent Passes. At most, he should have retained martial prowess at the Grandmaster Realm.
Yet now, Tong Lie had clearly suffered no suppression or interference from the human race's fortune whatsoever. On the contrary, he had been able to unleash his full power and had even defeated Xie Wanzhi, a Great Grandmaster martial artist of the Nine Surnames Xie Family. The clues were plain to see.
It could only have been the Heavenly Demon Palace Lord's doing, helping Tong Lie cross the barrier of the human race fortune's suppression and allowing him to wield his full strength.
"Actually, I'm quite curious as well. The Heavenly Demon Palace Lord is also a peerless genius of this age, someone capable of contending with His Majesty for supremacy.
