Left to her own device, Chun Xu pondered Zi Yao's words. All along, the Sword Fairy didn't doubt that somewhere in the White Immortal sect or beyond, her master hid corpses and secrets that could overnight bring a coalition of righteous zealots to the White Immortal sect's gates.
Zi Yao was a genius, in the purest sense of the term. Even in Qi Refinement, her scholarly and alchemical achievements had left her seniors slack-jawed, making several lower themselves to discuss results and experiments with the then teenage girl. However, the higher Zi Yao's cultivation, the less interested in alchemy she seemed to be. Only a select few knew that her achievements in that category had never stopped, but grew darker and more tyrannical as time went by, forcing her to conceal it all in a secret laboratory.
