A Great Secret Discovered by Chance

True Person Huai Jin was left speechless by Ye Xiu's words.

Only at this moment did he truly realize that people could never completely understand one another.

He had originally believed that everything he had seen and done along the way had been enough for him to understand the nature of independent cultivators and grasp the trajectory of future changes.

But in truth, his understanding seemed laughably shallow.

From beginning to end, he had never understood the foundation of the Alliance's continued existence, nor had he understood why the Alliance cultivators could unite around Ye Xiu with such near-fanatical devotion.

Still, this time, he had truly been taught a major lesson.

Drawing out a long breath of stale air, True Person Huai Jin swept the thoughts fluttering through his mind like scattered willow down clean away.

Neither he nor Ye Xiu moved now, entirely because they were guarding against that damned dragon soul.

That was the true objective this time. The power it had never revealed until now only made it more intimidating. At the very least, judging from the methods it had displayed so far, True Person Huai Jin truly feared that the dragon soul had obtained something extraordinary from the dragon's body that had completely dissipated...

Yet although he now understood Ye Xiu's viewpoint, True Person Huai Jin quietly made up his mind.

If the young people below truly suffered any serious casualties, then even if it meant exposing a flaw in himself, he would definitely intervene and save them;

He respected Ye Xiu's choice, but that did not mean he had to agree with Ye Xiu's methods.

The two could seek common ground while reserving their differences. Ye Xiu had his arrangements, and he could likewise rely on his own contingencies to produce the outcome he wanted.
