When the dim yin soul answered, "Yes," the suspicions that had just surged through Ding Songyan's mind quickly settled into conclusions:
The Two-Faced Clan members transformed by "demon seeds" could conceal their abnormalities. Under those circumstances, even "Candle Eyes and Star Pupils" would not ordinarily detect them. Only a Martial Grandmaster approaching the perfected law realm could see through them with "Candle Eyes and Star Pupils." And in the entire Xiaoming Sect, Tao Wenshu was the only person publicly known to have reached that level!
No wonder the Accumulated Evil Path-no, the "Devil Lord"-went to such painstaking lengths to eliminate Master. If even Master couldn't see through the "demon seed" technique, Qin Guanchan would have had no reason to orchestrate the Bai Zhaolin affair. He could simply have secretly transformed the sect's disciples into "demon-seeded" Two-Faced Clan members.
In his eyes, without Tao Wenshu, the Xiaoming Sect would be utterly undefended. His "demon-seeded" Two-Faced Clan subordinates could infiltrate it fairly easily, corrupt its key members, and eliminate any future threat for good...
That was why he sent a Two-Faced Clan member with a clean background, no martial arts, and no experience. Only someone like that stood a chance of passing the year-end recruitment...
Besides this fellow, we also need to guard against disciples who were outside the sect before this. Once news of Master's death spreads, the "Devil Lord," or subordinates who also possess his "demon seed" technique, will surely transform a few of them in secret, preparing multiple contingencies. How could an operation like this rely on just one line of attack...?
*Thinking about it now, it makes sense that "demon seeds" are difficult to detect. In essence, they don't belong to the transformed Two-Faced Clan members. They originate directly from a Great Grandmaster like the "Devil Lord," or
