"The Huangji Sect is investigating the specifics. We haven't been able to contact our inside source, and we currently have no leads." Zhu Qilan shook her head slightly. The Huangji Sect was still probing the situation at the Heavenly Sword Sect; the Council of Elders was still in the dark, let alone her.
Hearing this, Lin Bei's expression turned solemn. He knew that asking further would yield nothing. Despite being the commander of three provinces who held military power, Zhu Qilan was actually ostracized by the Council of Elders due to her status as the Eldest Princess. She was an outsider within the Huangji Sect, and important intelligence would never be shared with her.
Since Zhu Qilan had come up empty-handed, Lin Bei decided to try his luck with Jing Ji. No matter what, Jing Ji was an unstable element within the Lingxiao Sword Sect and a commodity of great value. Since the Heavenly Sword Sect was preparing to make a move, they would undoubtedly target the Lingxiao Sword Sect first. Perhaps he could squeeze some information out of him by leveraging this connection.
