The old Black Dove Demon felt pain.
And even offense.
"Who?"
He turned to look over with a grim tone.
Xu Zimo and Zhou Yanjun stepped out of the void.
The old Black Dove Demon's expression twisted as he sized them up.
"You are remnants of the Gu Lineage from back then as well."
Qiu Baiyin had clearly not expected Xu Zimo to suddenly appear.
He was stunned for a long while before finally giving a bitter laugh.
"So you all knew."
Xu Zimo stared at him for a moment.
Then he asked, "You were the one who left the Black Dove feathers in the Dragon God Sect, weren't you?"
"The Dragon God Sect's things vanished because of you as well, didn't they? You merely wanted to pin it on the Black Dove Clan."
Qiu Baiyin did not refute Xu Zimo's words. He even tacitly admitted it.
"That's right."
He appeared very calm.
After learning of the Dragon God Sect's inheritance, he had gone there ahead of time and moved away all the inheritances.
Then he had left the Black Dove Clan's feathers behind.
So what if someone suspected it?
Could they resist the temptation of the king's treasury?
When the time came, they would confront the Black Dove Clan.
With the Black Dove Clan's overbearing nature, conflict and strife would naturally be unavoidable.
And as long as Qiu Baiyin secretly stole away the Demon Bead without anyone noticing,
the matter would become one of irreconcilable enmity.
"There is one thing I do not understand," Xu Zimo said.
"I know what you want to ask."
Qiu Baiyin replied.
"You want to know why I sought you out from the beginning, along with Two-Headed Bear and the others, don't you?"
Xu Zimo nodded.
"Actually, my initial plan was not like this."
