Yuanjing killed his two guardians. These were the cold, hard facts. Wuyi cautiously began to form assumptions based on them. He had no doubt that Gao was part of this conspiracy, but he couldn't fathom how Lord Congming had allowed it to happen.
But against Yuanjing, Congming might be helpless. It all began to make sense when he recalled Gao's cryptic mention of a secret technique—most probably, Gao might have said it was demonic. Yuanjing had likely approved this attack. News of his rapid progress in cultivation through a secret technique that Gao had assumed must have reached them, more likely Gao would have sent it to them, triggering this sinister plot.
