At the mouth of Return Heaven Valley, Xia Liang and Tan Sheng were also discussing the cause of Huo Liaoyuan's death.
Like Tu Guanxiong, neither believed Lu Ye could have killed Huo Liaoyuan with his own strength. The gap in cultivation was right there. No matter how profound Lu Ye's foundations were, it should have been impossible for him to accomplish something so unfathomable.
What was more, both of them knew something of Lu Ye's strength.
Though Lu Ye's cultivation had risen by two minor tiers since the time of the Hunting Ground, he was still only Tier Five.

His strength was certainly greater than Huo Liaoyuan's, but not by much. If Lu Ye had been capable of killing Huo Liaoyuan, then he was capable of killing him as well.
But Exotic Treasures were things one could only encounter by chance, never seek out. They were basically single-use consumables.
