Once he had calmed down a bit and alleviated some of the heartache, Chu Liang immediately deduced who the likely culprit was.
The idea of the Demon Sect's disciples sneaking away in the midst of the attack on Shu Mountain to indulge in stolen fruit was absurd. It seemed highly unlikely, though the notion of an Eighth Realm cultivator and a Seventh Realm cultivator teaming up to do such a thing was even more ludicrous...
But it was likely the truth.
Sightings of a large and small creature pillaging the berry trees had been circulating for a few days, so it wouldn't be a surprise if they had targeted the Silver Sword Peak today. However, if the culprits were indeed these two, one couldn't consider their actions as theft.
Immortal Qi Jing had just recently given him a hand, entirely altering the course of the battle. To some extent, one could even say he had saved Shu Mountain.
