Qin Wentian felt gratitude for the ancestor of the Battle Sword Sect, whom he had never once met before after hearing the words of Lin Shuai. One could very well imagine how much threat existed in his sentence, ‘If they dare to send Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants over to target you, it would be equivalent to announcing an all-out war against our Battle Sword Sect.’ This meant that at the very least out in the public, all Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants had to think twice before they acted against him.
As for moving in the shadows, Qin Wentian didn’t even begin to doubt that they wouldn’t do so. This was only to be expected. Even leaving aside the death of that elder from the Royal Sacred Sect, Shang Tong’s death was already sufficient for Grand Shang Empire to plan his assassination.
