Ren Yisheng's team

Many mouths could melt gold; piled-up slander could dissolve bone.

Once outsiders had made up their minds about something, even an explanation would have a hard time convincing them otherwise.

Zhang Xuezhou could teach others realm cultivation techniques, and he could also teach them the Supreme Purity True Technique, but these were not things just anyone could learn.

As soon as Zhang Xuezhou and the others showed anything unusual, some people would inevitably connect it directly to the influence of Sinkhole No. 2, believing that the Zhang Household had obtained something from the sinkhole.

That small seed of suspicion would trigger all manner of research and observation, and even coercive measures.

Ren Yisheng drew a deep breath.

His gaze fixed on two areas of Western Capital City: one where the Zhou Household was located, and the other where the Changkong Lineage was located.

These were two Lineages with Seventh Sequence powerhouses, existences he found difficult to resist. They also formed a group bound together by shared interests.

There were struggles within the country, and struggles on the international stage as well.

The years seemed peaceful, but there had never been any shortage of contests between various forces.

Standing at the top of the Scarlet Alliance State and continually reaping the rewards of authority and influence, the many Lineages undoubtedly also needed to present a united front against outsiders and prevent their country's overall interests from suffering.

The flesh-and-blood genes from No. 1 Sinkhole had been studied for nearly thirty years, and the Genas Lineage of the British Alliance State had leaped from a second-rate Lineage to one of the very strongest.

Ren Yisheng firmly believed that the current direction of genetic development was flawed and needed correction, but there were undoubtedly people who had profited from this increasingly extreme research.
