Feng Jun and Yi Jue spent another five days on the road, but the five days had been richly rewarding.
They found three locations whose bloodlines matched those of the Dong Family, spread across two continents.
Two of those locations were already home to clans numbering over a thousand people. More importantly, both clans had moved there over fifteen hundred years ago. One of them, surnamed Meng, openly declared that their family had come from the Golden Crow Sect.
The third family had only a little over two hundred members and was surnamed Xiao. They had moved there nine hundred years ago, precisely around the time Little Winter Melon had been killed by Shouxin.
Yi Jue found this somewhat strange. "The Spirit Wood Dao actually didn't kill Little Winter Melon's relatives to silence them. That's rather rare."
"No one probably expected things to develop this far back then, right?" Feng Jun replied casually. "The Six-Yao Formation is certainly rare, but saying it was worth silencing people over is a bit much... After all, Little Winter Melon died to protect the Spirit Wood Dao's reputation."
The two of them had effectively begun treating their speculation as fact.
However, some people were determined to verify it. Luo Shiqi instructed his clan's True Immortals, "I don't care what methods you use. You must find out whether this Xiao family knew that New Desert had a Six-Yao Formation!"
The Luo Clan would never accept the humiliation of someone else passing off their ancestors' formation as their own.
Feng Jun and Yi Jue did not care what they chose to do. Their own investigation had essentially reached its conclusion—this was most likely something the Spirit Wood Dao had done in collusion with someone else.
As for the Spirit Wood Dao acting alone? That was impossible.
