"Empty?"
The utter emptiness of the Golden Flower Maternal Sect Main Altar left Qi Xiu feeling incredulous. Even though the An'ning Holy Nation was in chaos, it was inconceivable that the main altar, a place of such importance, would be completely deserted. If there were truly no one, then why deploy so many people to guard outside? It made no sense.
Sensing something amiss, Qi Xiu's mind raced. In his state of unity between spirit and flesh, his thinking speed was a hundred times faster than usual.
To use such a number of people to guard an empty main altar—even if the Golden Flower Maternal Sect had lost their minds, they wouldn't do something so illogical. If the situation didn't make sense following normal logic, then it was time to consider a different angle. For instance... perhaps those Golden Flower Maternal Sect disciples weren't there to prevent outsiders from entering the main altar. But rather... to stop or prevent something within this main altar from getting out?
