"And the idea this person came up with was a death trap that would wipe out every last descendant. As long as Vice Principal Gao keeps taking action, his lineage will inevitably be destroyed... I reckon that even if this person doesn't belong to the Witch Alliance, they must stand against the Star Soul Continent. There is absolutely no doubt about that!"
Zuo Xiaoduo nodded slowly. Li Chenglong's deductions were essentially consistent with his own thoughts.
"I reckon Boss Zuo's attempt to turn him should have some effect, but just how much... will depend on what Vice Principal Gao actually does after waking up."
Li Chenglong said, "So... what we need to do now comes down to just one word: wait."
"But while we wait, we can still keep an eye on those lineages that took part in the operation before. After all, deploying this Lei Datou and bringing him back from the Upper Capital to go after Vice Principal Xiang required considerable strength and very meticulous arrangements. That trail is itself an important junction."
So said Li Chenglong.
Ye Changqing smiled. "Minister Nan in the Upper Capital is already investigating this matter in secret."
"Right now, we're also waiting for the results."
"This matter undoubtedly has far-reaching implications. If it really comes to confronting those colossal lineages... even Minister Nan wouldn't dare swing the butcher's blade lightly. There are too many connections at every level."
Ye Changqing gave a bitter laugh. "Roots coiled around roots, branches tangled with branches."
"But a great deal has already been exposed this time. We can still investigate based on that."
Li Chenglong said, "With this sort of thing, what they fear most is having a loose thread pulled out."
"Once that loose thread emerges, we needn't worry that they won't keep making moves!
