Upon hearing that the mastermind is the Heir Apparent of King Qin, you were taken aback, feeling something was amiss. If the mastermind were indeed the Heir Apparent, then in your previous lives, after Elder Wang framed you, there was no need for the Man in Black to ambush the escort team. They could have simply used the power of Qin King's Manor to intercept you before you were sent to the army, which would have been a trivial task.

Sensing something suspicious, you took the initiative to inquire about Jiang Xun's situation. Li Wuyi said he was unsure; after he repelled the scarred Elder last night, Jiang Xun was secretly taken away by people from the four major sects. Finally, he subtly hinted to you that after they destroyed Jiang Xun's stronghold, several ancestors proposed to perform a Soul Search on you. It was Gu Yue from Medicine King Valley who protected you and took you back to the valley...

Seeing this, a flash of understanding appeared in Chen Shi's eyes. The four major sects knew he could lead them to the mastermind, and they must also know the mastermind was very interested in him. It was not hard to understand why they wanted his memory. Gu Yue's intervention might be related to Master Gu He. However, these were not the key points. The key was that both sides had clearly planned this operation for a long time.

In the simulation, from the moment he left the Spirit Clan Paradise, he was likely under close surveillance. Chen Shi was unsure why the four major sects were targeting the mastermind, but one thing was certain: in this situation, the mastermind would find it extremely difficult to kill him. Therefore, to take his life, they would first have to deal with the old monsters behind him.
