"Let me finish." Zhenyu raised one thick finger. "You told me how Wen Wu was lured into an inheritance ground and murdered by people following orders from their superiors."
He raised another finger. "Little Bull was sent into the Mad Demon Depths under false accusations." A third finger rose. "And now you've revealed that the Vault Division controls information concerning a repository of dangerous ancient treasures."
Zhenyu's eyes narrowed. "Do you truly see no connection?"
The Grand Elder fell silent while the Clarity Peak Head's expression had become exceptionally serious. Lin Mu knew that his argument was beginning to take effect. He had deliberately connected the present conspiracy to the historical tragedy they had just described.
The parallels were compelling, especially because the Grand Elder had personally explained how secret factions could manipulate the sect's institutions.
