Ji Xuanya's intelligence came from those ancient cultivators, so there was no doubt about its accuracy.
In combination with their current course of action, as well as the intelligence gathered by the Eradication Department and the discoveries Lin Yuan made during this time.
Even without a shred of evidence, Lin Yuan was nearly seventy percent sure they were definitely targeting Lu Ziyu...
And the reason they had sacrificed so many lives was merely to gather information on her.
This kind of enemy is the hardest to deal with.
Just like the zealots they had faced in the Other Domain, why did they kill them even though they knew that these people might not have committed any evil?
Simply put, it was because their belief was deeply rooted; at the drop of a command from above, they would march through mountains of blades and seas of flames without hesitation, unmindful of their own sacrifice.
Facing such people, one must cut the problem at its roots to solve it once and for all.
