Even if Senior Brother Zhang wants to return to the sect, the Xingshen Sect must verify everything he has said. Although Li Xiuyuan has not discovered any deceit through secret observation, the necessary procedures cannot be omitted.
Whether Senior Brother Zhang is a disciple of Zhou Yuandan and a direct heir of the Jianji Palace lineage cannot just be decided by his own statement; the Magic Sect has its own verification methods.
On the other hand, regardless of whose successor he is, as long as cultivation of the Magic Sect breaks through Tier Four, theoretically, he can find the sect's grotto heaven, request return to the Magic Sect, and accept the secondary inheritance.
The sect's task is to investigate his past conduct; if there are any criminal activities, appropriate punishment will be levied.
