When Hanhai Venerable revealed the nature of the formation, everyone present understood that it had likely been the work of family cultivators.
There was no shortage of cultivators in sects willing to die to preserve their orthodox lineage, but comparatively speaking, family cultivators placed even greater importance on such matters.
Of course, the most crucial point was preventing Blood Essence Tracing as a prerequisite—would sect cultivators fear Blood Essence Tracing?
After a moment of silence, True Immortal Mo Ran spoke. "I don't think it was necessarily the Luo Clan."
Feng Jun glanced at him and asked noncommittally, "Why?"
Mo Ran pondered before replying, "Because... it was too deliberate. Heavenly Zither has so many regions; there was no need to ambush people right outside their own doorstep."
Before Feng Jun could state his opinion, Hanhai Venerable spoke up. "That's right. I even suspect that this formation may not have been set up recently. Perhaps it was handed down from ancient times and was only activated not long ago... This formation truly has been lost."
"My information says that this technique has also been lost," the Big Shot transmitted silently to Feng Jun. "This guy knows his stuff."
Quite unusually, True Immortal Qingque also took the initiative to speak. "My Heart Sword sense tells me that the Venerable is right."
He had no intention of flattering anyone; he was simply stating the truth.
Yet unexpectedly, Hanhai Venerable responded very bluntly, "Your sense is wrong. Your Heart Sword could only have sensed something unusual about me. Because I am inclined to believe my own speculation, you then felt that the situation itself was correct..."
"Simply put, your understanding of the Heart Sword is mistaken."
The corner of Protector Qingque's mouth twitched despite himself. That was truly humiliating. Could a Venerable just say whatever
