Facing Chen Changsheng's words, Wang Hao smacked his lips. "Since we've already guessed who killed the Supreme Sage..."
"Should we still carry out the original plan?"
"If you want to stop, you can't short us on the reward you promised."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng glanced at Wang Hao and answered with something unrelated.
"Back then, I asked what you thought about Scholar's death. The guesses you and Yong Xian gave were completely opposite."
"Both directions you gave could be investigated further, but neither had an endpoint."
"The reason for this was not that you guessed wrong, but that you did not guess the full picture."
"There were only so many powerhouses in an era. It was normal for three or five of them to hide away, but a force powerful enough to destroy Forbidden Grounds could not possibly remain hidden."
"There was only one explanation: that force had been scattered throughout the entire era."
"The Four Brahma Three Realms, the various Forbidden Grounds, even the former Three Mountains One Sea Forty-Two Worlds—all bore their traces."
"And that was precisely why I had never been able to find any clues."
"When one stood within the mountain, how could one glimpse the mountain range in its entirety?"
"If I once had any intention of leaving them a sliver of life, then now, this entire era had to die."
Ye Yongxian's eyelid twitched at those words.
"By your reasoning, Desolate Heaven Emperor Wu Li and Little Immortal Elder's side have been infiltrated as well?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because Scholar died. He killed himself."
"If Desolate Heaven Emperor Wu Li and Little Immortal Elder had also been infiltrated, Scholar would never have committed suicide."
"What kind of logic is that?"
Wang Hao interjected from the side, clearly unable to understand the Supreme Sage's abnormal behavior.
