At this, Xia Ji looked at Fang Chen. "Is there a possibility that the fellow who plotted against your ancestor was actually wary of that female cultivator and the sect behind her?"
"You mean..." Fang Chen mused. "The person plotting behind the scenes was actually from the same sect as my ancestor?"
Xia Ji nodded slightly. "Aside from that, I can't think of any reason why a sect in a Grade One Empire would completely forget about a disciple of theirs. The person behind the plot must hold some status and power. If not, your ancestor ought to have returned to the sect rather than retreating to such a remote place."
