For a young master of a family to send one soul formation and three nascent soul cultivators, this was unheard of. Nascent soul cultivators were peak cultivators in every sect; only a very few cultivator sects and families had soul formation cultivators, and they were the sect's last resort. It has been a while since a nascent- soul-level battle happened in Yin country.
So you can imagine their surprise of everyone when they heard there was a soul formation that attacked the city, and even more surprising was there was a Spirit Embryo Realm in the city helping the Yang family. Most cultivators in Yin country never came into contact with someone at the soul formation level, so meeting an expert from the spirit embryo realm was out of the question.
The fact that the Spirit Embryo Realm expert was helping the Yang family was a cause for concern as it implied that the Yang family had some powerful backing.
The cultivators in Yin country were now on high alert, there was mass confusion among them regarding the event that transpired.
Every major power in Yin country had started asking the same question: What was the cause of all of it? Why had a soul formation level cultivator specifically attacked that mansion of the Yang family household? Then came the question of what were two nascent souls of the Yang family were doing in that mansion. What was the spirit embryo realm cultivator doing in that city?
They dug deep, and soon they found some of the answers.
It turned out that Liu Jie, leader of the Golden Dawn Sect, was taking asylum in the Yang family's territory, specifically in the mansion that got attacked. Liu Jie and the Golden Dawn sect were vassals of the Sky Soaring sect. Recently, the Sky Soaring Sect found the location of a medium-sized spirit stone mine. Liu Jie was actually aware of the location and decided to give it to other families. So Sky Soaring Sect wanted to kill him. Concerned about his safety, he hired the Yang family for protection.
When this went to the public, new questions started bothering them: Did it mean the Sky Soaring Sect's three nascent souls attacked the Yang stronghold? But didn't the Sky Soaring Sect only have Nascent Soul Cultivators? Where did the soul formation cultivator come from? What was this Jedi family? Were they affiliated with the Sky Soaring Sect?
When they dug deep again, their spies found answers to these questions, too; the two nascent soul elders of the Yang family who fought with the three nascent soul attackers had confirmed that the attackers were not nascent souls of the Sky Soaring Sect.
Everyone knew who the nascent souls of the Sky Soaring Sect were. If those three attackers were nascent souls of the Sky Soaring Sect, then chances were that they were hidden elders of the Sky Soaring Sect. If they belonged to the Sky Soaring sect, then it meant the Sky Soaring sect had a soul formation realm cultivator too.
But it was highly unlikely because if the Sky Soaring Sect had three more nascent souls and a soul formation level cultivator, then why would it not show its power to get more resources for their sect? Why would the Sky Soaring Sect spend so much time negotiating with every sect and family for trades when they could simply show their might and take whatever they wanted?
There were no more than ten soul formation cultivators in Yin country. Except for those ten, no one would have challenged the Sky Soaring Sect, but here even Liu Jie from a vassal sect dared to betray them.
When they thought they were at the end of this puzzle, they received some new information that made them want to ask more questions.
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ After the battle, the two nascent soul elders of the Yang family went to check on Liu Jie. They found his headless body on the floor and that his head had disappeared. And five days after the attack on Ravenfall. The Sky Soaring Sect attacked the Golden Dawn Sect and cleaned out most of the elders of the Golden Dawn Sect.
Every major family and sect heard the news of Liu Jie two to three weeks later. But Sky Soaring sect attacked the next week of his death. It meant the Sky Soaring sect was aware that Liu Jie died? This meant they knew about what transpired as soon as the event transpired. Maybe they had spies waiting in the city who took action to kill Liu Jie when the Yang family was attacked. But even then, it would have been very difficult for the golden core or nascent soul to break through the defenses of Yang's and kill the target.
They started wondering, was Liu Jie collateral damage or the target? If this was done just to kill Liu Jie, then the culprit was Sky Soaring Sect, but why would the sect send a soul formation level cultivator and three nascent souls to attack a golden core realm cultivator, Not to mention there were many golden core and core formation cultivators who attacked too.
Everyone began to believe the Sky Soaring Sect was not the culprit of the attack, but maybe they just took advantage of the situation.
When they thought confusion regarding the event was finally over, they received the most disturbing news that shook them to their core. It also cemented their belief that Sky Soaring Sect was not the main culprit.
The Spirit Embryo Realm cultivator that chased after the attackers had gone missing. If he chased, it was assuring that no nascent soul or soul formation level cultivator could run away from him. But instead of capturing the culprits, he himself disappeared.
A battle at level Spirit Embryo Realm would alert everyone in the vicinity. There should have been some news. But there was no news of him after he chased after the attackers. It meant only one thing he was caught or killed, as Yang and the Royal family both were searching for him desperately.
Turned out that the Spirit Embryo Realm cultivator was a relative of the royal concubine.
To catch or kill a Spirit Embryo Realm meant the attackers had the backing of someone with the power level of earth immortal. Only an Earth Immortal level power could catch or kill Spirit Embryo Realm cultivator without making a noise. There was no way that Sky Soaring Sect had an earth immortal.
If there were no more than ten soul formation level cultivators in Yin country, then the number of earth immortals in the country was no greater than five. Should the Sky Soaring Sect have an earth immortal, they could compete with big shots like the Starfall Sect, the Lin Family, and the Royal Family instead of making the many compromises they have made over the last few hundred years.
The conclusion every major power in Yin Country reached was that the Jedi family was the culprit. Sky Soaring Sect had nothing to do with the attack, but they might have taken advantage of the situation to finish Liu Jie.
The Jedi family, who had the backing of earth immortal, had a vendetta against the Yang family because they offended the Jedi family's young master. The young master was visiting Yin country because of recent rumors about the treasures left by Venerate. There was no reason for a soul formation level cultivator or Nascent Soul Level cultivator to lie and yell, "Feel our wrath for offending our young master and our Jedi family!."
Since the Sky Soaring Sect knew where Liu Jie was staying when the Yang mansion was attacked, they sneaked in and used the opportunity to finish off their target.
**************************************************
Elder Dongmei was sitting on the throne of Darkhall, reading the reports, and Liu Jie's head was in front of him. Elder said, " So what's the conclusion?"
The Shadow behind the elder spoke: " Everyone thinks this was not us. But the Royals, Yangs, and others believe that it was done by us partnering with some young master whom Yang Family offended."
Elder Dongmei said, " Where is that brat?"
"Back to his cave abode," said the shadow.
Elder Sighed " I never thought he would really pull this off; do you think it was a co-incident ?"
The shadow shook his head. "No, it sounds too coincidental. Now the royals think we have been hiding our power because we partnered with some hidden strong family or sect to share the benefits of the spirit stone mines. The increase in our wealth was noticed by all of them. According to them, we took this opportunity to show our power so anyone would think twice before trying to do anything against our sect."
Elder Dongmei spoke thoughtfully " Did they find anything connecting us to the assassination?"
Shadow spoke: "Nothing; it was 100% just like his earlier missions."
Elder did not know what to say.
He asked, "Spirit Embryo Realm, what about him?"
Shadow replied, "He was supposed to be chasing the perpetrator."
Sweat formed on elder Dongmei's head. If the Spirit Embryo Realm attacked their sect, the whole Yin nation would know that they were perpetrators.
Elder Dongmei was not worried about the defense of the sect as they had recently acquired a lot of resources and improved the array of the sect to a level where no one in Yin country could endanger their sect anymore. The array could take attacks from immortals. So he was not worried about the sect's safety from Spirit Embryo Realm. But if he really was going to attack, he should have attacked by now.
Elder Dongmei spoke said, " Tell Zhu Xin to meet me in the sect hall. Bring that brat to sect hall too."
