Shang Xia had always expected that the reason behind the sneak attack by the experts of the Manyu Continent was because news of Shang Bo trying to break through to the Martial Dipper Realm was leaked to the outside world. He thought that the experts of the Manyu Continent attacked them in a last-ditch effort to prevent their world from being destroyed by Shang Bo’s breakthrough.

That was also the reason Shang Xia sympathized with the experts of the Manyu Continent even though they were enemies.

After learning that the original residents of the Manyu Continent weren't going to be exterminated along with the destruction of the Manyu Continent, his feeling of guilt lessened slightly.

Now that Ren Bainian revealed even more information, Shang Xia started to get curious again. The cultivators of the Manyu Continent knew that their fates were sealed. Why would they waste their strength to eliminate the Tongyou Institution by launching a joint attack?

The members of the Tongyou Institution used to think that the mastermind behind their actions were from the Azure Origin World and Azure Spiritual World. They thought that those who wanted to get rid of the Tongyou Institution were from the various holy lands in the 2 worlds, but from what Ren Bainian was saying and the intelligence gathered by the Tongyou Institution, those holy lands were busy controlling their territory and accepting powers of the Manyu Continent under their banner.

The situation seemed to be in complete contrast...
