That instant of realization suddenly made the divinities of the Wanli Great House feel as though, while watching someone else's drama, they had found themselves dragged onto the stage. It left them deeply worried.
The divinities of the Wanli Great House broke into a flurry of discussion, all urging Lord Cang to respond as soon as possible and avoid being struck by an undeserved calamity.
Lord Cang, however, was torn.
He shared their concern. In fact, he could say with absolute certainty that if the Red Fox Divine Dynasty could not determine who had killed its three divinities, it would turn its spearhead toward the Wanli Great House.
But the problem was, how could they explain something like this?
The Red Fox Divine Dynasty had yet to make any official response. If they jumped out impatiently to explain themselves, would that not be like planting a sign saying, "No silver buried here"?
They would practically be confessing without being questioned.
Even those who had not suspected them would start to.
What was more...
The Wanli Great House had always fought the followers of True Gods, both openly and in the shadows. When had they ever backed down?
Volunteering an explanation would amount to bowing their heads to the Red Fox Divine Dynasty.
That would inevitably damage the Wanli Great House's prestige.
On the Myriad Sources Continent, besides the followers of True Gods and the Wanli Great House, there were quite a few divinities cultivating in seclusion. The Wanli Great House had always been trying to recruit them.
If the Wanli Great House's prestige suffered and those secluded divinities thought it had lost its nerve, how could they possibly be willing to join it?
At that thought...
Lord Cang felt an immense headache coming on.
Yet the thing they feared most
