(MC POV)
It's been several more days and yet there hasn't been any more signs of the assassin.
A few of the Elders suggested that the assassin might have given up after knowing we were vigilant of them.
However, I had seen the assassin, or at least a clone body of it, face to face back then. Their attitude at that time suggested that they definitely wouldn't give up that easily and was already plotting for their next opportunity to strike.
That's why I didn't refute those Elder's claims as it might give the assassin a false sense of security, causing them to step into the trap around Elder Feng.
Sure, I could also go the route of reading through their memories and finding out who the culprit is that way, but that would be a problem if word of this gets around and their own Sects learn of it.
Not to mention the fact that since it's a slime monster, their memories might not even be readable in the first place.
This is why I hate politics.
