Chapter 1913 -s 1858–1859: Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?_2
Of course, such a situation is not something only the Shenxiao Sect might encounter; other top immortal sects will face similar situations. They hold substantial interests and will also have forces and experts dissatisfied, using this to stir trouble.
Originally, in such circumstances, if these top forces cooperated openly, exchanging information and intelligence, there was a chance to uncover the person behind the scenes.
But the key issue is that no one can truly manage openness with one another; there is mutual vigilance and guarding between them. Even if they sit together and present things, can you trust these things are entirely true, and not something false from the other side meant to guide or deceive you?
It is essential to know that there is not insignificant conflict of interests between these top forces. At times like these, someone fishing in troubled waters and provoking you to act against other forces is not impossible.
It can be said that everyone is now trapped in a cycle, unable to self-verify, unable to trust opponents, filled with suspicion and doubt.
"Is there any news from Bai Xiaosheng’s side?" Pei Xuanjing asked.
Even he doesn’t have a great solution to such a situation, after all, he’s not good at conspiracies. Moreover, this situation can’t be named conspiracy; it’s more like an unsolvable open scheme.
Clearly, everyone exchanging information could solve the issue, but no one can do it, nor can anyone trust such information, falling into a prisoner dilemma.
They can only rely on themselves now, and perhaps see what messages come from Bai Xiaosheng; only this way can they have a clear mind.
"There is indeed quite a bit of information from Bai Xiaosheng and Sky Mechanism Pavilion, but the deduction shows that all parties have reasons to act." Pang Hong stated honestly.
