Yao Chen's Guess

After receiving Yao Chen's affirmative answer, Yao Tian and Yao Ling left Starfall Pavilion to deal with matters within their clan.

Xiao Yan, meanwhile, discussed the attack on the Medicine Clan with Yao Chen.

"Teacher, which do you think is more likely—the Thunder Clan or the Flame Clan? Or were those three hidden experts of the Soul Clan?"

"Since the Soul Clan had concealed an expert like Void Devouring Flame and only revealed him now, it is not impossible that they possess other hidden strength as well." Xiao Yan wore a contemplative expression.

I think the Xiao Tribe is far more suspicious... Yao Chen muttered inwardly, but he did not voice those thoughts.

The Xiao Tribe had both such strength and such a motive.

The prize for winning the Medicine Ceremony was the Burning Mantra. Those insects had parasitized me before, so the Xiao Tribe had every opportunity to obtain that cultivation method.

So the Medicine Ceremony had actually been the Xiao Tribe's scheme? They used the Ninth-Grade Golden Pill to weaken the Medicine Clan, then struck when the opportunity arose?

They could also pin the blame on other clans, making the surviving members of the Medicine Clan turn to me for protection... That would be both a generous gift to me and, indirectly, a way of providing Xiao Yan with cultivation resources?

Yao Chen felt that Xiao Zhan was entirely capable of such a thing. One only had to look at how he had captured the entire Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to refine pills—he was a ruthless hero through and through!

Xiao Zhan was setting his sights on Tuoshe Ancient God's Abode. If the Burning Mantra was the cultivation method used by the Tuoshe Ancient God, then wouldn't Xiao Yan be considered his successor
