"Is it really a good idea to let word of this spread?" Lu Qingzhong asked.
"Then why do you think the Soul-Reaping Sect wanted to seal off the news?" Huang Xiao asked.
"Naturally, they wanted to deal with you and keep all the benefits for themselves," Du Jiliang said.
"As I see it, hiding it would put me in danger instead. Making it public might actually keep me safer," Huang Xiao said with a smile.

Du Jiliang nodded.
