When Zhou Xuan was telling the story of "Daoist absorbing Buddha energy," Li Chengfeng was still smelling the scent of the Divine Silk.
Suddenly, his expression changed, as though he had caught a whiff of a scent that haunted his soul...
To be honest, the story Zhou Xuan made up had quite a bit of credibility,
there was evidence—the broken strands of Divine Silk on the ground.
There were conditions—only someone with immense divine skills could set fire to the mighty Qiye Temple, devouring all its Buddha energy. A Daoist fit those conditions.
As for the motive?
The Bone Elder Association's research on Daoists was thin, who knew what kind of freakish aberrations those Daoists were?
What motive would lead them to absorb the Buddha energy from Qiye Temple? That depended on how the Bone Elder Association's senior members chose to imagine it,
but it was precisely that "haunting scent" Li Chengfeng picked up, which made him distrust Zhou Xuan's story.
