"How could such a change occur?"
They had originally assumed the pendant had always looked the way it did from the very start.
But the change they were now witnessing made them realize that the pendant could undergo a new transformation.
However, none of them could understand why this was happening.
"Could it be because someone has taken control of the puppet army, and that's what caused this change?"
"Although the puppet army was forged eight hundred years ago by a guest who visited our clan, it was ultimately created using the power of that great being."
"Now that someone has gained control of the puppet army, it is tantamount to wielding the power of that great being. That is likely why the pendant on that great being has reacted more visibly."
A member of the Demon Spirit Clan offered this speculation.
"That does seem plausible."
Many within the Demon Spirit Clan nodded in agreement with this theory.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng was also observing, but he too could not discern why the change had occurred.
He turned his gaze toward the Clan Chief of the Demon Spirit Clan.
"Senior, this junior has a question and wonders whether it would be convenient for you to answer," Chu Feng asked.
"Young hero, please go ahead."
The Clan Chief of the Demon Spirit Clan's attitude toward Chu Feng had indeed undergone a dramatic shift — just as it had with Wang Yuxian, she was now exceptionally courteous and friendly.
"I know that the puppet army was created eight hundred years ago by a guest who came to the Demon Spirit Clan."
"But that guest also relied upon power left behind tens of thousands of years ago by that great being."
"The puppet army still exists, yet I have not seen the power left behind by that great being. This junior would like to see that power."
"Of course, since that power was left by that great being for the Demon Spirit Clan, if you feel it is inappropriate, Senior, this junior will hold no resentment whatsoever."
Chu Feng said.
"Young hero, after that guest forged the puppet army eight hundred years ago, the power left behind by that great being vanished."
"According to that guest, the power had already merged with the puppet army as one. When the destined person arrived, the power could be separated from within the puppet army."
"That said, young hero and Miss Wang — since you have already taken control of the puppet army, can you not sense that power?"
the Clan Chief asked.
"Lele, can you sense it?"
Chu Feng looked toward Wang Yuxian.
"I can't. I can only feel the power of the puppet army itself, and even that is limited."
"For instance, I can't tell what cultivation level those puppets are at, let alone the power left behind by that great being."
"If I'm not mistaken, Chu Feng is the same, isn't he?"
As Wang Yuxian spoke, she pointed toward those puppets whose cultivation levels they had been unable to determine.
She and Chu Feng had originally believed that once they controlled the puppet army, they would be able to sense the cultivation levels of the puppets.
But to her surprise, even after gaining control, she still could not ascertain the specific cultivation levels of those puplets.
"I can't sense it either."
Chu Feng shook his head and then turned to the Clan Chief of the Demon Spirit Clan.
"Senior, was that guest from eight hundred years ago a trustworthy person?" Chu Feng asked.
"That guest helped our Demon Spirit Clan — he could be said to have shown our clan great kindness. But whether he was truly trustworthy, I cannot say with certainty."
"Young hero, why do you ask? Do you suspect that the guest has already taken that power for himself, and that he deceived us?"
the Clan Chief asked.
