After a brief start, Ling Tianya understood. He now knew why Huang Xiao refused to acknowledge him. It turned out that Huang Xiao had mistakenly believed he had killed Mu Yi, Xu Yan Yun, and Li Cong.
At this thought, Ling Tianya felt a measure of relief. For a time, he had thought Huang Xiao refused to acknowledge him because he was the Sect Master of the Thousand Demons Sect.
