"You, you, you..." ng Zhang pointed at Aunt Jin but couldn't find the right words to say.
ng Zhang finally understood that Qiaoshou Sect and Flying Swan Sect were working together. Reflecting on his previous eting with Aunt Jin, where she seed to be fully aware of the situation in the Endless Sea of Sand and reassured him that there wouldn't be any chaos for the ti being, he now realized that the information might have co from Flying Swan Sect.
Being a Gold Core sect, any connection with Flying Swan Sect ant that even with his Grand Evolving Fortune, ng Zhang couldn't deduce Qiaoshou Sect's secrets.
After a while, ng Zhang cald down. The alliance between Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect hadn't been long-lasting, and it was natural for them to keep certain secrets hidden. Just as Taiyi Sect wouldn't reveal its confidential information to Qiaoshou Sect, it was reasonable for the latter to have their own undisclosed matters.
Though he understood, ng Zhang couldn't help feeling a sense of discontent from being kept in the dark. He wore a cold expression and expressed his displeasure, "Senior Jin, you've caused great distress by hiding this from . Who knew that your sect had beco so close to Flying Swan Sect? Yet, you didn't even give a hint, which is sowhat unkind."
Aunt Jin smiled bitterly, understanding ng Zhang's feelings. "Sect Master ng, please don't be angry. It was not my intention to hide this from you. The connection between Qiaoshou Sect and Flying Swan Sect isn't recent. To be precise, we have had ties for over five hundred years."
Five hundred years ago, ng Zhang was taken aback. That was indeed a long ti ago. Wait a minute, five hundred years ago was precisely when Twin Success Valley beca a vassal of Flying Swan Sect and began expanding its influence in the surrounding areas, right?
ng Zhang believed he had figured out Qiaoshou Sect's background. "Flying Swan Sect is truly farsighted. They set up Qiaoshou Sect as a pawn over five hundred years ago, constantly monitoring Twin Success Valley, right?"
Aunt Jin listened to ng Zhang and couldn't help but laugh wryly. "Sect Master ng, you misunderstood us. Qiaoshou Sect isn't a pawn of Flying Swan Sect, nor do we have any task to monitor Twin Success Valley."
"Sect Master ng, think about it. Twin Success Valley is just a Foundation Building sect. Would Flying Swan Sect really care so much and plan so far ahead, setting up such a profound layout over 500 years in advance?"
Seeing Aunt Jin's expression, it didn't seem like she was lying. Puzzled, ng Zhang asked, "Then, Senior Jin, what is the relationship between Qiaoshou Sect and Flying Swan Sect?"
Aunt Jin looked troubled and said, "Sect Master ng, please don't put in a difficult position. The relationship between Qiaoshou Sect and Flying Swan Sect is complicated and not easy to explain. So details are better kept secret, as they can do more harm than good if revealed. Although Qiaoshou Sect has had ties with Flying Swan Sect for a long ti, we are neither their vassals nor their pawns."
"We have our own principles and won't blindly follow Flying Swan Sect. Flying Swan Sect alone can't command Qiaoshou Sect."
ng Zhang carefully looked at Aunt Jin, trying to figure out if she was being truthful. In his impression, the Qiaoshou Sect, despite its 500-year history, wasn't a powerful faction. In the past, it was rely one of Twin Success Valley's many dependents. Now, it had beco a vassal of the Forest Spring Watch, just like Taiyi Sect.
Aunt Jin seed to be quite confident in her speech, but she didn't appear deceitful or overbearing. It seed that there were many secrets behind the Qiaoshou Sect that ng Zhang was unaware of.
"Senior Jin, since the Qiaoshou Sect is not a pawn of the Flying Swan Sect, what did you an by your earlier question?" ng Zhang asked directly, setting aside all his confusion for the mont.
"Sect Master ng, my intention is simple. Does Taiyi Sect intend to accept Fei Hongzi's proposal?" Aunt Jin replied firmly.
"Sect Master ng, let tell you the truth. You cannot keep postponing this matter; you must provide a clear answer. Dilly-dallying is not an option, and trying to please both sides will lead to destruction. Now is the ti to take a stand," Aunt Jin's tone carried a distinct sense of threat.
"Don't push people too far. Even if we take a stand, Taiyi Sect can also stand with the Forest Spring Watch," ng Zhang retorted defiantly.
"Hahaha..." Aunt Jin burst into laughter.
"Sect Master ng, you really don't know anything, do you?"
"Erasing the Forest Spring Watch is not just the Flying Swan Sect's idea. There are many influential figures involved in this plot. Even the Flying Swan Sect itself is just a pawn in the ga."
"Sect Master ng, based on our long-standing relationship, I advise you not to act impulsively."
Observing Aunt Jin's proud deanor, ng Zhang wanted to believe that she was lying or exaggerating. However, his intuition told him that Aunt Jin was telling the truth.
Her revelations left ng Zhang quite taken aback. Seeing that he was visibly affected, Aunt Jin continued persuading him.
"Sect Master ng, I can swear that everything I said is true. You have experienced the chaos caused by the sand monsters firsthand. But do you know that sand monsters are not naturally occurring beings? They were artificially created."
Having fought the sand monsters nurous tis and even infiltrated their lair, ng Zhang had always wondered about their origins. However, lacking any leads, he had set the question aside. Now, hearing Aunt Jin's words, he couldn't help but ask, "Then who exactly possesses such great power to create these formidable enemies of mankind? And what is the purpose of this entity's existence?"
Aunt Jin's expression betrayed a trace of fear she couldn't conceal.
"I'm not entirely sure about all the details. All I know is that the creator of the sand monsters is a 'great power' from the depths of the Deadly Sea of Sand. As for their motives, it's beyond my knowledge."
"What I can tell you is that Guang ZhiDaoist Master of the Forest Spring Watch is connected to this 'great power.' The recent chaos caused by the sand monsters was probably orchestrated by Guang ZhiDaoist Master in the shadows."
"The sand monsters have been a scourge of the Endless Sea of Sand for many years, making them enemies of humanity. Guang ZhiDaoist Master, driven by his own selfish desires, has been covertly fueling this nace and using the sand monsters to harm innocent lives."
"The actions of Guang ZhiDaoist Master are no different from those of demons. I suspect that he has fallen into the path of evil and beco a malevolent being."
As Aunt Jin spoke, her righteous indignation was evident. The amount of information in Aunt Jin's words overwheld ng Zhang, and he needed so ti to process it all before responding to her.
