(There are probably two or three chapters left in Volume Three. This chapter can count as touching on its theme.)
Profound Yin Ancestor asked, "Now can you finally tell me whose man the Western Prince really was?"
Yin San walked toward the sea and said casually, "He was Nan Qu's disciple and Xilai's junior brother. Of course he was their man."
Profound Yin Ancestor asked, "If that was really the case, why did he follow your arrangements?"
Yin San raised his index finger and wagged it. "I merely offered a few small suggestions, but he was broad-minded enough to accept them."
Should that count as praise? Profound Yin Ancestor thought. The problem is, you got that junior killed. He asked, "When did you meet him?"
Yin San said, "Before coming to you, I went to find the other one first."
Profound Yin Ancestor's expression shifted slightly.
Whatever Yin San intended to do after escaping Green Mountain would inevitably shake heaven and earth, and anyone capable of helping him would inevitably be a figure who could shake heaven and earth as well.
Such as those three legendary Sword Evaders.
Profound Yin Ancestor was a Sword Evader himself.
He knew perfectly well that the Former Prince, who lived beside the Great Marsh with a turtle shell on his back, was actually quite ordinary in cultivation. The truly terrifying one was the Heaven-Connecting Realm Sword Immortal on Mist Island in the Southern Sea.
Back then, that Heaven-Connecting Realm Sword Immortal had actually succeeded in ambushing Yin San's grandmaster!
Although it had been a sneak attack at the critical moment of the True Person's Ascension, it was still something he would never even have contemplated.
"You went straight to the Southern Sea as soon as you escaped Green Mountain?"
