"Moreover, since the existence of White Emperor Lu Divine Flow is well-known, the person targeted by White Emperor Lu Divine Flow should be able to ascertain who hired them... In that case, what's the difference between this and taking direct action?"
Hearing Xue Jing's words, Ning Yuantai unconsciously lowered his voice:
"Xue, you may not be aware that indeed, many, including the Thirteen Great Families, wish White Emperor Lu Divine Flow dead... But they have reservations and dare not truly act against them."
Ning Yuantai paused, then continued:
"Because behind White Emperor Lu Divine Flow, there is an entity even larger than them... Or rather, although it is uncertain, they dare not risk it."
Xue Jing was intrigued and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ning Yuantai's voice continued to lower, as if the mere mention of the next person required all possible respect.
