That made sense. The Aohai Cui Clan already had three True Lords presiding over it, and Cui Yuanxi's destiny was so unusual that the True Lords of other clans could hardly sit idly by and watch the Aohai Cui Clan produce yet another Golden Core True Lord.
If the Aohai Cui Clan had four True Lords under one roof, who could possibly keep them in check?
Viewed that way, it was hardly surprising that the other clans wanted Cui Yuanxi to die on Mount Junya.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what's wrong? Why do you keep looking at me?" Cui Yuanxi's bright eyes flickered with curiosity.
Looking at the innocent, carefree Cui Yuanxi, Zhang Yuan's heart sank slightly.
Once again, they were using the Heaven-and-Earth Trial to lay an open scheme. Just as they had done to him back then, they were forcing Cui Yuanxi to step into their trap.
"Nothing. Let's go."
Zhang Yuan did not reveal the truth, instead secretly sending Xiao Yuanjun a voice transmission.
Xiao Yuanjun frowned and shot him a look.
Help her?
Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly.
Not necessarily.
The number of True Lords involved in targeting Cui Yuanxi this time might be smaller than in Chen Xinqiao's case, but he could easily imagine that, to ensure Cui Yuanxi's death, the clans would send more Foundation Establishment Celestials than he could count on one hand!
Against such a force, even if he wanted to help, his strength would fall short of his intentions. He could only see how things unfolded.
Just then, a knock came at the door, followed by Qin Tianyi's voice from outside. He cleared his throat. "Well, uh... Brother [Return to True], it's me, [Lightning-Striking Celestial Person], your Brother Qin. I've come to pay you a visit. Is this a convenient time?"
