They could not be certain yet, so they planned to ask Huang Xiao about it in private.

"And for that, he had to plot against me in secret?" Xuan Yuanjun asked.
"Leaving aside his need to keep a grand formation like this secret, even if he had told you, would you have agreed to let him use the Creation Sect to set it up?" Senior Ji sneered. "Killing you would have been best. Then he could do whatever he pleased with the Creation Sect. Besides that, he had other aims.
