Upon verifying the information's accuracy, Qin Huai and Gou Jie deduced that the allure of the ancestral source blood might have overwhelmed the white tiger clan's leader.
Nevertheless, Qin Huai wasn't deeply concerned about the motives. His primary objective was locating the ninth king. He wouldn't waste time speculating on the intricate web of events leading to his current situation.
However, the king of the black tortoise clan's words did raise Qin Huai's suspicions. Perhaps the initial kings were merely pawns, set up by the white tiger clan's leader to lure Qin Huai into a trap.
This black tortoise king, Wu Weifeng, had an armor piece similar to the dragon's revered scale. If broken, it could mean the end for the wearer. Its potent life essence was even more concentrated than the purple flames and the Qi Mountain's life-suppressing item.
