Both parties had motives.
There was naturally no need to speak of the members of the Fierce Ghost Sect killing royalty. As for Elder Xie Yun, it was also quite possible that the Ever-victorious Emperor's possession of treasures led to his greed overtaking his loyalty, and thus harboring murderous intentions.
However, he could not determine the specifics.
But after a brief calculation, Yang Chen muttered, "Given my speed, traveling through the periphery and arriving within Changxing Mountain, I should be fast enough. The Ever-victorious Emperor should have just died not long ago. It's impossible for him to have been dead for a long stretch of time. If he indeed died not long ago, then the members of the Fierce Ghost Sect must be nearby!"
Yang Chen pondered in his heart.
Should he avoid the Fierce Ghost Sect or not?
