Chapter 578 - 335 Swarm Out_2
Therefore, the prime suspect could only be the Skywalk Trading Company. Why the Skywalk Trading Company, you ask? Well, it’s because they sent a Nascent Soul Ancestor.
The Skywalk Trading Company had both motive and ability. The motive came from a Jade Scroll that Li Shiming obtained several years ago, which was captured from a cultivator of the Skywalk Trading Company and which contained partial information about the Sect Protection Array of Qianye Temple.
As for ability, a trading company operating across continents would undoubtedly have special methods that no one would believe they lacked.
Why was the rocket launched from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, yet it attacked Qianye Temple? Shouldn’t Senluo Sect be the priority target, or even the Shushan Sect and Thousand Illusion Sect since they’re closer?
The judgement from Qianye Temple was that someone wanted to incite hatred between the great sects.
After learning about the conflict at the Nascent Soul Stage between Senluo Sect and Qianye Temple, Skywalk Trading Company might use this method. If Qianye Temple truly believed the attack came from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, they would engage in an all-out war with Senluo Sect.
No matter how you look at it, Skywalk Trading Company ended up as the prime suspect from the final analysis by Qianye Temple.
Thus, Venerable Huike was the most proactive. He took the initiative to discuss with Elder Zuo and to take charge of this operation.
The intelligence systems of the six great sects sprang into action, and the news of a guest being received with high honors at Ten Thousand Buddha Temple quickly reached all six great sects.
This further convinced the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the six great sects of the veracity of Li Shiming’s information, and Venerable Huike kept in constant communication with the other Nascent Soul Ancestors.
A conflict involving Nascent Soul Ancestors could not go without a plan. It was unthinkable for six Nascent Soul Ancestors to mobilize only to end up without any gains. That would leave massive risks unaddressed and diminish the deterrent power of the six great sects over the Beishu Continent.
What allowed the six great sects to rule the entire Beishu Continent was the covenant formulated by the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the six great sects who have the shared duty of facing the enemies of the sects outside of their alliance jointly on a Nascent Soul level.
