In the cave mansion of Shi Nandang, the Divinity Transformation cultivators from the Yun and Luo Clans bowed in unison before Zheng Fa: "Many thanks to Ancestor Shi for the life-saving grace!"
Although Zheng Fa acted with utmost secrecy, no one was a fool.
Before Shi Nandang returned, the Lu Clan's offerings of blood food to the Gu God had never posed any issues. Yet, upon his arrival, those gu insects developed a picky eating habit.
Otherwise, why would Shi Nandang's Master immediately suspect his own disciple?
Zheng Fa, looking at the grateful faces of the Yun and Luo Clans, maintained a serious expression: "Don't speak nonsense. This matter has nothing to do with me. How could I disrupt the Sect's grand affairs?"
"We understand, it is all the Lu Clan's own self-inflicted plight!"
A quick-witted elder from the Luo Clan promptly responded.
The others nodded rapidly, seemingly buying into this shameless lie.
