"The Imperial Sect is still investigating the specifics, they have lost contact with their affiliate, and currently have no leads," Zhu Qilan shook her head slightly, the situation of the Heavenly Sword Sect was still being probed by the Imperial Sect, the Elder Court had no knowledge, let alone her.
Upon hearing this, Lu Bei's face became grave, knowing that further inquiries would be fruitless. Despite Zhu Qilan holding a military power over three provinces, her status as a princess makes her unwelcome in the Elder Court, which considered her an outsider within the Imperial Sect, and wouldn't share crucial information with her.
Having drawn a blank with Zhu Qilan, Lu Bei decided to try Jing Ji, who was an unstable factor in the Lingxiao Sword Sect and might have valuable insights. If the Heavenly Sword Sect was planning to rise, they would definitely strike at the Lingxiao Sword Sect first. Lu Bei might be able to glean some useful information via this connection.
