"You could say that!" In the pavilion, Ye Jingcheng gazed at the tranquil lake, which reflected the blue sky and white clouds. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.
Naturally, he had spoken against his true intentions.
After all, his purpose this time was certainly to weaken Penglai. Otherwise, with its Nascent Soul cultivators and reserves surpassing the Ye Family's, someone in Penglai might also break through again by the time Ye Jingcheng reached Spirit Transformation.
That would hardly be good news for the Ye Family.
In fact, if he encountered Nascent Soul cultivators from the Profound Heaven Sect, he intended to strike at them as well.
They had already sown the seeds of enmity during the previous war between the righteous and demonic paths, and he still held Mysterious Heaven's spirit treasure, the Heaven-Stabilizing Treasure Mirror.
Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Blood Dragon Fruit was in his possession. Since he had yet to break through, Mysterious Heaven's Nascent Soul cultivators might very well try to take it back.
Thus, there was likewise no possibility of reconciliation between the Ye Family and Mysterious Heaven. Any chance to weaken them in the Earth Immortal Realm would certainly be welcome.
Of course, he would not say any of this now, even though no one present would leak it.
The demonic sects possessed countless methods and were no less calculating. If they arranged a probe and discovered something, or even had something like Dao seeds in place, this trip to the Earth Immortal Realm would become dangerous.
For now, going along with the others and giving a vague answer was the best response.
True Lord Xingyuan and True Lord Xu Huai did not try to persuade him further. Knowing he would not target Penglai or Mysterious Heaven put them considerably more at ease.
