Chen Qing recalled how Luo Ziming had tested him after the disturbance at the Celestial Treasure Tower, and everything suddenly became clear.
It seemed it wasn't just these True Disciples who were searching for that ethereal ancestral inheritance. The Sect's upper echelons, even figures at the Vein Master and Elder Level, had never given up the search either.
At this thought, alarm bells screamed in Chen Qing's mind. 'I have to be far more careful from now on,' he decided. 'Until I'm strong enough to protect myself, I absolutely cannot let even a hint of Purple Light's secret get out.'
Just then, Ji Yunliang steered the conversation away from the Grotto Heaven's disturbance. He turned to Nan Zhuoran and said, "Brother Nan, your expedition to purge the Demon Thieves must have been fraught with peril. I heard that outside Soul-Breaking Gorge, you personally slew a long-renowned True Essence Realm Elder from the Infinite Demon Sect?"
At these words, everyone froze.
