The figures of several Void Realm cultivators flashed through Zhuang Xuanji's mind, one by one.
On closer thought, she felt each of them had a motive. And from the information she currently possessed, there was no direct evidence that a single cultivator had acted alone.
As the only cultivator in the Void Realm who had seen Zhang Minghe's face clearly and briefly communicated with her through divine sense, Zhuang Xuanji was certain that Zhang Minghe came from an extraordinary background. The power behind her must surpass even that of the Wave-Chasing Sea Pavilion.
Otherwise, the Upper Cultivator from the Sea Pavilion would never have chosen to back down after his projection was destroyed.
Zhuang Xuanji still did not know what effect the talisman Zhang Minghe had placed outside the Void Realm might have. But judging by the Upper Cultivator's decision to abandon his spell, it must have held some power over him.
If so, then to continue meddling in Canglan Continent—or to obtain something from it—the Upper Cultivator from the Sea Pavilion had only one option when he could not act in person: find suitable Void Realm cultivators to act on his behalf.
And given the Wave-Chasing Sea Pavilion's dominance over this realm, he could offer a price that the vast majority of Void Realm cultivators could not refuse.
Zhuang Xuanji therefore had reason to suspect that more than one cultivator in the Void Realm was now working for him.
If that was true, matters had become complicated.
It could well mean that an ancestor from one of the Void Realm's three factions was involved.
The enemy was hidden while they stood in the open. A rash investigation would only startle the snake in the grass, alerting whoever was responsible and driving them deeper into hiding.
