Ever since the Jade Capital Sect Leader and Long Eyebrow Immortal decided to search for the whereabouts of the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword, Ling Yunpo quickly discovered that wherever he and Senior Sister An went, there were always other Golden Core True Persons following them.
They claimed that the Demon Cult was sinister and ruthless, unable to defeat Shushan head-on, so they might send assassins to kill the two of them, and therefore they needed to be closely protected.
This reasoning was somewhat plausible, after all, An Zhisu was a Second Grade Golden Core, and Ling Yunpo had previously severely damaged the reputation of the Nether Ghost Path, giving the Demon Cult ample motive to assassinate the two.
However, Ling Yunpo of course knew that the real reason was simply to keep him under surveillance.
