In the end, Xu Yuan still failed to get a definite answer from his own master.
But with things having reached this point, there was no need to think too hard to understand.
That singing, the ghostly mist, even the wolf howls and the like that he had encountered once or twice in Biyou Market—they were likely all the work of certain elders.
He simply did not know whether any of those strange phenomena had also been caused by his own master, nor why the Foundation Establishment elders would act in such a manner.
He traveled northwestward through dense, luxuriant woods. Even though winter had just passed, the trees remained emerald-green and upright. Surrounded by them, he truly feared that one careless step might leave him wandering until he lost his bearings.

It was a green, semicircular structure. Azure stone walls, moss and saplings growing along them, wild mushrooms and weeds everywhere—all of it, anchored by a massive formation, came together to form an enormous emerald crown amid the mountains and forests.
Xu Yuan looked at Lu Yi ahead of him. The man seemed to have been waiting for him for quite some time. The moment he saw Xu Yuan, he hurried over to greet him.
"Junior Brother Xu, come in quickly. Senior Brother will show you our Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain's beast pits!"

No matter how nice this senior brother might be, he was still being so warm toward someone who had openly declared himself a competitor.
Or perhaps Hidden Moon Sect
