Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had considered going after Hagoromo Otsutsuki's descendants before, but he worried Hagoromo might have left something dangerous within them. Isshiki suspected Hagoromo had sensed his existence.
Otherwise, Hagoromo would never have stood by while his two sons fought each other. Isshiki knew about Asura and Indra.

But when Yi appeared before him, Isshiki was
