His teacher had suddenly summoned him inside. He certainly hadn't wanted a heart-to-heart.
Sure enough, his purpose had now emerged.
Even though Hongjun hadn't said it outright, Tongtian was no fool.
Hongjun's words clearly pointed to the Interception Sect as that unforeseen variable.
After all, by all normal reasoning, the Interception Sect should have been the ones to face the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.
Only because the Interception Sect had disbanded ahead of time had an unforeseen variable emerged in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.
But even though both Tongtian and Hongjun knew it perfectly well, Tongtian could only feign ignorance.
"Please enlighten me, Teacher."
Hongjun stared steadily at Tongtian.
"Have you disbanded the Interception Sect?"
Faced with this question from Hongjun, Tongtian was, for once, entirely confident in his answer.
"This disciple has never disbanded the Interception Sect."
Although he was the leader of the Interception Sect.
He truly hadn't known that the Interception Sect had already disbanded.
Had Hongjun not pointed it out, Tongtian would still have been in the dark.
In fact, Hongjun had already discerned this earlier.
Tongtian was his own disciple, after all, and he understood him to some degree.
If Tongtian really hadn't known about this, then who had disbanded the Interception Sect?
"Before you left, whom did you entrust with managing the Interception Sect?"
Faced with such a direct question from Hongjun, Tongtian hesitated for once.
But under Hongjun's gaze, Tongtian still spoke.
"I entrusted Lu Feng with managing the Interception Sect."
Upon hearing Lu Feng's name, Hongjun raised his eyebrows.
He did know of this Lu Feng.
Even though Tongtian had never formally acknowledged it, all the Interception Sect's disciples had already tacitly accepted him as their Senior Brother.
Tongtian had also passed the position of Vice Leader to him.
