At this point, Xia Ji looked at Fang Chen. "Is there any possibility that the person who harmed your ancestor is actually wary of that female cultivator and the sect behind her?"
"You mean..." Fang Chen mused, "the person plotting in the shadows is actually from the same sect as my ancestor?"
Xia Ji nodded slightly. "Beyond that, I cannot think of any reason why a sect in a First-Grade Empire would completely forget about one of its own disciples. The mastermind must hold some status and power. Otherwise, your ancestor should have returned to the sect rather than heading to a remote corner of the world."
