Feng Jun hesitated before saying, "My sect has elders at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage. If they notice anything amiss, I cannot hide it from them."
Before the other party could react, he added, "However, I can confirm that my sect has absolutely nothing to do with Senior Jiu Qing."
Jiu Qing truly felt a little like losing his temper. Even if there was some great power's trump card on him, he could not act so recklessly, could he?
But after hearing the explanation, he could also tell that Feng Jun truly did not want to become his enemy. He simply did not want to state things too definitively.
However, Jiu Qing was not only an Ancestral Patriarch, but also extremely self-willed. How could he allow others to alter the bottom line he had drawn?
"Absolutely nothing to do with me... Just whose sect do you belong to?"
"Sorry, I can't say," Feng Jun replied with unusual bluntness. "In any case, none of you have heard of it."
"Could it be... similar to Bamboo Gentleman's origins?" Jiu Qing could tell by instinct that the other party was telling the truth.
He also knew quite a bit about Bamboo Gentleman's background. In such circumstances, it was normal for the sect involved to be unknown.
But he could not gamble on that. "Show me your talisman again."

The other party might have been the shrewdest great power he had ever encountered. If Jiu Qing discovered that the guiding aura came from another world, things would become troublesome.
Jiu Qing fell silent for a while, then gave a soft cry of surprise. "Huh, it actually... carries a little of that aura?"
He did not specify
