Chapter 406 - 385: First Update
Zong Yunqian knew he couldn’t escape this question. From the moment he knew his master and senior brother’s thoughts, he felt that it shouldn’t be as they thought.
Although Zong Yunqian didn’t know the details about the matters between Qiandao Temple and Ghoul Ravine, he was aware that Ghoul Ravine and Qiandao Temple, many years ago, belonged to the same sect. The ancestors of Ghoul Ravine and Master Huo Yi of Qiandao Temple were originally fellow disciples, but due to straying onto the wrong path and practicing the Ghost Path, they gradually transformed into what they were today.
Therefore, the predicted omens could be referring to Qiandao Temple, as well as Ghoul Ravine.
His master and Master Yu Sheng believed that the downfall of the Nanzheng Imperial Clan was related to Ghoul Ravine, and Ghoul Ravine’s stirring in the Northwest Border indeed confirmed the suspicions of his master and Master Yu Sheng.

Zong Yunqian knew that whatever he said now, his senior brother wouldn’t believe him. He also had doubted his own judgment. Yet, there was a detail in the prophecy that only he knew about; neither his master nor his senior brother had noticed this detail, and even if he spoke of it, the people of Qiandao Temple might not believe him, because he had seen it in dreams—from childhood to adulthood, countless dreams that grew clearer and clearer, as if something was guiding him to this answer.

"Senior brother, do you think that Ghoul Ravine’s visit this time is related to what the prophecy mentioned?"
Master Yu Sheng was slightly startled. His initial thought was that Master had informed his younger disciple about the prophecy indeed; they hadn’t avoided Zong Yunqian because the prophetic signs, even if placed openly, are not something that just anyone can see.
In Qiandao Temple, only Master and he could see the prophetic signs.
"So, you’ve always been able to see the prophetic signs?" Master Yu Sheng asked, then why didn’t you tell Master? It wasn’t that Master Yu Sheng was overly suspicious, but the art of prophecy, the spells taught by Master, were only known to him. If Yunqian, the disciple, could also...
