"Where is the source?" Xue Fuyao asked.
The Sect Master shook his head. "The other party is very cunning. We still haven't found the source."
Hearing this, Xue Fuyao pondered for a moment, and something seemed to flash through her mind.
"Sect Master." She suddenly looked up. "Could this have something to do with a reclusive cultivation aristocratic clan?"
At her words, the Sect Master looked at her and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Xue Fuyao hadn't said it offhandedly. She had remembered something from her previous life.
That incident had happened much later than now. A cultivation aristocratic clan that had always remained secluded, a lineage calling itself the Longevity Aristocratic Clan, had suddenly emerged.
The Longevity Aristocratic Clan thought nothing of any of the existing powers in the Cultivation Realm. They spent their days looking down from on high, pointing out how the world should be run. Of course, they had the strength to back it up.
The emergence of the Longevity Aristocratic Clan had pressed so heavily on the other powers that they couldn't raise their heads. It was also at this time that the Longevity Aristocratic Clan had set its sights on that young man who had come from the Mortal Realm.
Yes, the very person who had obtained that mighty cultivator's fortuitous opportunity in her previous life.
The Longevity Aristocratic Clan had seen through the young man's origins at a glance. After they successfully recruited him, he had vanished without a trace. This alone wasn't enough for Xue Fuyao to connect them to the current incident. What truly made her suspect a connection was something else.
As everyone knew, every power controlled a number of ore veins and spirit veins, some more than others.
These ore veins and spirit veins required manpower to mine.
