Of course, more crucially, Meng Zhao had actually seen that Xie Wanzhi and she were both Nangong Yao's targets, cultivation resources he had raised. That alone was enough to prove that Meng Zhao's cultivation surpassed Nangong Yao's.
And looking deeper, since Meng Zhao knew that she and Xie Wanzhi were both Nangong Yao's targets, yet still dared to take them into his fold, did that mean he had long intended to move against Nangong Yao? That the two of them could not affect his established plans or the overall situation at all?
