Before Brother Ninth could respond, a hoarse voice spoke up “Don’t blaone overboard They played noble e first forains would be equally split between factions, and that we should work together and not be selfish But in the end, it’s every ht Sect has been played for fools”

“But I hear that the most powerful cultivators in the sacred land aren’t the three primes; it’s their venerated forefather, a divine cultivator He can easily rebuild the sacred land and ht a God?”
“It’s said that House Xiahou’s forefather is a full-fledged God as well”
