"May I ask what instructions you have, Senior?" Song Wen wore a respectful expression, with just the right hint of excitement showing through.
Gai Lu said, "I trust what you said earlier, little friend. Those three from the Shi Family must have concealed something. Yin Ling's death was most likely related to them. I hope you will remain here. Once Ling Xu exits the secret realm, the three parties can confront one another face-to-face. Then the Shi Family's lies will surely be exposed. Rest assured, little friend, I will not have you exert yourself for nothing. Once this matter is settled, regardless of the outcome, I will gift you one million high-grade spirit stones to aid your cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Song Wen immediately understood Gai Lu's intentions.
Gai Lu intended to eliminate the Shi Family, yet he wanted a justifiable cause.
The Shi Family had only managed to gain a foothold in the Purple Star Immortal Domain by relying on the lingering prestige of the late Immortal Yunhe Dao, but they were merely eking out a miserable existence.
But if the Shi Family were to produce another Lingxu Dao Immortal, they would surely rise again.
The Gai Family, which had long stood opposed to the Shi Family, naturally had no desire to sit by and watch such a situation unfold.
During this journey into the Return-to-Ruins Cave Secret Realm, the Gai Family had suffered grievous losses. Yet perhaps they could use this as a pretext, together with Yin Ling's death, to seize the chance to uproot the Shi Family entirely.
With Gai Lu's strength, he could have uprooted the Shi Family directly and needed no reason at all. Yet he did not dare do so. That would be openly committing an act abhorrent to the entire Purple Star Immortal
