At Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's words, everyone was startled. Upon careful thought, it did seem possible.
"That is indeed the case. Using the assassins as an excuse, they separated the negotiators from us. That made it difficult for us to stay by Mystic Spirit King's side, while they could do whatever they wanted to Xuanming, leaving us powerless." Peacock Great Bright King said with a frown.
Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden nodded as well. "That possibility is indeed very likely. But our trusted subordinates are all our own people. How could they use our subordinates to assassinate their people? Without our orders, they absolutely could not mobilize them."
Peacock Great Bright King and Fourth Princess both frowned. They did not understand this situation either.
They did not know what exactly was going on.
"I'll need to investigate this matter."
"Since we now have this suspicion, we must quickly notify Mystic Spirit King, lest he be caught up in it as well," Fourth Princess said.
They immediately sent people to look for Uchiha Shin. However, when their men had just arrived at Taishang Laojun's side, they learned that Uchiha Shin had already left.
They wanted to pursue Uchiha Shin, but there was no way to catch up. He had long since gone to North Mountain, where security was extremely tight. It was absolutely impossible for them to get through.
Peacock Great Bright King and the others grew even more anxious, but there was nothing they could do now. They could only pray that Uchiha Shin would be able to withstand the enemy's attack.
Uchiha Shin followed Yuanshi Tianzun and the others to the rear, to the North Mountain of Fallen Dao Mountain. Uchiha Shin had never been here before; the place they had stayed in previously was on the southern side.
