"A misunderstanding?"
"An explanation?"
Li Yunjing's voice was indifferent, betraying neither joy nor anger. "Eagle King, do you take me for a three-year-old child, or do you think my Soul Search technique is merely for show?"
The Eagle King's face instantly turned deathly pale.
Soul Search!
Li Yunjing really had searched the Wolf Emperor's soul!
Didn't that mean everything the Wolf Emperor knew, including certain secrets of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, had been exposed?
Against the memories extracted through Soul Search, his earlier excuses were nothing but a joke.
"Please calm your anger, Fellow Daoist Li."
True Lord Pojun of the Heavenly Demon Sect could no longer sit still. He spoke in a hoarse voice, carrying a trace of apprehension that was difficult to detect. "Sect Master Ye-his actions have always been difficult to fathom. Perhaps-perhaps he had some private arrangement with the Wolf Emperor that did not represent the Heavenly Demon Sect's position."
"Besides, Sect Master Ye is currently wandering far and wide. We do not know his whereabouts either. This matter-"
"A private arrangement?"
"Wandering far and wide?"
Li Yunjing interrupted True Lord Pojun. His voice remained calm, yet carried a pressure that made hearts tremble. "Pojun, do you believe those words yourself?"
"Hasn't Ye Wuya simply fled?"
True Lord Pojun's face alternated between ashen and pale. He could not refute him.
As sect master, how could Ye Wuya's actions possibly not represent the Heavenly Demon Sect?
Especially when he had joined forces with the Wolf Emperor. That all but openly declared that the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Ten Thousand Demon Valley were colluding on some level.
This was not merely a slap to Li Yunjing's face. It challenged the entire Tianlan Alliance's bottom line, especially now, when everyone had just witnessed Qingwei and Xuan Ji
