Zhuge Qingshan frowned and said, "The Devil Race has been acting rather strangely lately. They seem to have lost interest in Ye Han. For now, they haven't made any moves."
Then a peculiar look crossed his face. "But the Demon Race Alliance certainly won't swallow this insult so easily. Word has it they're already gathering an army of demon beasts to counterattack the Upper Tomb Land and wipe out the Azure Profound Sect to vent their fury."
At this point, he said gravely, "But in my opinion, this Ye Han really has enough gall to defy heaven, and his cultivation is exceptionally high. I think he deliberately struck at the Demon Race Alliance. He should have further measures ready to deal with their retaliation!"
He paused, his expression darkening. "I believe Ye Han is deliberately building up the Azure Profound Sect's prestige. What he's after isn't merely a city or a stronghold, but perhaps the entire Heaven's Mandate Continent! Sooner or later, he'll pose a considerable threat to our Wuxie Sect."
Seeing Zhuge Qingshan's gloomy expression, Wuxie Scholar smiled. "What's so strange about that? Elder Liu Head of the Azure Profound Sect has always wanted to restore the sect's might and prestige, to return it to its former glory. Ye Han simply shares his ambition!"
Zhuge Qingshan's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help asking, "Grand Ancestor! Does the Azure Profound Sect really have a Spirit Transformation Stage great cultivator overseeing it? Then why have they declined so badly?"
Hearing this, Wuxie Scholar answered gravely, "The Azure Profound Sect's situation is even more complicated than our Wuxie Sect's. We can secretly contact those races in the Upper Realm that harbor ulterior motives, but the Azure Profound Sect can't do anything at all. The slightest move could bring trouble down upon them!"
