During those times, news that 'The Hunters' Plateau' was attacked by some unknown cultivators quickly spread across the nearby places.
And with the rumors that the Shu family's Emperor-Protector was looking for the mastermind sent shivers to many cultivators—especially to some family heads.
It was not difficult to deduce that the most probable mastermind was another cultivating family since it had been like that in the cultivation world.
If had been a clan or minor sects, then it would have been deemed as nothing short of bullying. Thus, many who heard the incident quickly turned their eyes towards other cultivating families.
Around the area, the Shu family was not known for being arrogant and domineering so the only possible reason for the family's territory to be attacked was jealousy for the family's seemingly unstoppable rise.
Thus, nearby families and even minor clans sent some aid to support the Shu family in investigating the incident. That was obviously to avoid being implicated and turn the Shu family's vengeance away from them.
As a result, the Heng family and the two others that colluded with them did not attempt to make any other move. In fact, they also sent someone to pretend to help in the investigation—although their real intention was to further spy on the strength of the family and learn how the elites they sent died.
But soon those three families realized how vast Shu family's connections were. The Frozen Sword Sect, previously known as Mo Clan, as well as the Thousand Treasures Pavilion branch in Jiang City also joined the investigation.
Those facts left the family heads of the colluding culprits left dumbfounded. They acted too quickly against 'The Hunters' Plateau' without making a thorough investigation.
They knew that should they continue, it would be their families that will be decimated.
"What should we do?"
"Can't we seek the help of the Heng main family?"
"Cant do.. side family like ours was just an ant in their eyes."
In an underground meeting, the three were helpless and could not come up with the best solution.
They could afford to offend another family but they definitely could not be enemies of the Frozen Sword Sect and the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
"If we don't do anything," one of the three said, "they will soon find out the truth."

Few days later as planned, Qai brought Shu Kongxu with him on his Howling Wind Eagle towards the Purple Mist Sect.
Ordinarily, it would take a little over than a week to reach the mountain peaks of the Sect. But with such flying steed, not only would the two lessen the time to travel, but they would avoid unnecessary attacks from the demonic beasts.
The two flew above across the forested area to the north towards the Purple Mist Sect high enough to avoiding the mist. From there, Qai could see as he activated his 'Hawkeye' skill several beast hordes and garden-like areas filled with herbs.
It was also during that travel that Qai gave some pointers about cultivation and skills.
On the other hand, Shu Konxu shared that he would follow the 'Beast Taming' path after he learned all the 'Forgery' skills.
Eventually, upon hearing Shu Kongxu's interest in 'Beast Taming,' Qai figured out one problem--that should many in the family contract their own demonic beasts and reach the higher realms, Qai had no idea where to get the unique 'Spiritualize' skill scroll.
Even without yet experiencing it himself, Qai felt that 'Beast Taming' and 'Spiritualize' should go together in order to fully realize the benefit of following such cultivation path. However, he let such idea aside and tried to focus on the matter at hand.
In this trip, Qai was actually expecting that he would immediately leave his nephew under the Sect's care since he would join the Purple Mist Sect's team participating the Gathering of the Five Great Sects.
And after flying for few days, Qai's flying steed finally triggered the Sect's barrier which slightly alarmed few cultivators from the sect.
"A Howling Wind Eagle!"
"Quick, let's kill it!"
"I badly needed a Wind skill scroll!"
"Senior brother, let's team up."
Some outer and inner disciples were raring to take action, since such flying demonic beast was rarely seen in that part of the region—and the one that intruded the Sect was actually a Sky stage Sage level demonic beast.
Killing intent suddenly rose—and in just few moments there were already a dozen of disciples waiting for the Howling Wind Eagle to lower its flight.
One of the disciples even threw a sword slash upwards aimed at the 'unwelcomed' demonic beast. Fortunately, perhaps due to distance, the attack barely missed.
"Eh!?"
Qai who was sitting on the flying steed was slightly surprised at the sudden attack and was dumbfounded at the sight of the welcoming disciples with seeming untoward intention.
'Such a warm welcome,' Qai said to himself.
He knew there was a slight misunderstanding so he did not immediately retaliate and was about to show himself. But just before any one from the Sect disciples unleashed another skill, a powerful emperor Qi aura enveloped the area.
'Wabaaaaaaaam.'
"Sect Master!"
Instantly, the inner and outer disciples clasped their hands and respectfully bowed before the head of the Purple Mist Sect. Their immediate thoughts were the Sect Master was perhaps there to personally slay the demonic beast.
But they were shocked when the Emperor Void just stood with a smile and did not seem to have any intention of attacking. Instead, he even showed a warm facial expression.
"Ho ho ho," the Emperor Void chuckled. "Little friend, Ive' been waiting for you."
