As an ally of the Sacred Void Sect, Li Fire Palace did the opposite. In a rare move, it took the initiative to speak out, declaring that the claim that the Sacred Void Sect was a Demonic Dao spy was nothing but a fabrication by certain factions. Their goal was to destroy the Sacred Void Sect and seize its territory, while throwing the Cultivation World of Blue Sea Star into turmoil.
Li Fire Palace stressed that this was the shameless act of petty villains, and that their sinister scheme would end in failure. It also called on the factions of Blue Sea Star to remain calm and exercise restraint, warning them not to fall for the Demonic Dao forces' divisive ploy!
Before long, a terrifying rumor spread across Blue Sea Star: Demonic Dao Cultivators planned to incite infighting on the star, then seize it first and use it as a beachhead from which to attack other Cultivation Stars, ultimately taking the entire Tianlan Star Domain.
The rumor sounded horrifying, but few factions took it seriously.
In recent years, it had been far from uncommon for people to brand rival factions as Demonic Dao spies, then use the accusation as an excuse to destroy them. The Sacred Void Sect was just one more unlucky victim.
Li Fire Palace's statement, however, gave people pause. Quite a few factions were doubtful, while most chose to wait and see.
Blue Sea Star was not wealthy, but the major factions of the Tianlan Star Domain had informants there. These reports soon made their way back to the great powers.
On Tianlan Star, in the Qu household, Qu Yulin was speaking with a green-robed old man in his early fifties.
"What? You want me to go to Blue Sea Star and investigate the Sacred Void Sect?"
