Scarlett Redshaw was very wary of him. Compared to the upright Dao Lord Lucas Lin, Quinn Shepherd seemed a bit sinister, so she naturally wasn't keen to join the Cult of the Heavenly Saint.
Lucas Lin was quite pleased, sneaking glances at Quinn Shepherd, unable to hide his satisfaction.
Quinn had poached many of his people; plenty of Daoists from Dao Gate had gone to Everpeace to become officials, and some had joined the Cult of the Heavenly Saint to study. Even more of the younger generation chose to enter Heavenly Saint Academy, while fewer and fewer went to Dao Gate Academy.
Even he, the Dao Lord, had been unconsciously won over by Quinn Shepherd; for a while, he couldn't steady his Dao heart and even considered joining the Cult of the Heavenly Saint himself.
It goes to show just how hard it is to steal Quinn's people—now, at last, he had a small victory.
Azurecloud Heaven.
When Azurecloud Sect Master saw them rush back from outside, he was a little surprised. Lucas Lin recounted their recent experiences, finally putting the Sect Master's doubts to rest.
"Jaden Jadehall has already begun framing Earth Mother Primordial Lady for the incident, sending the corpses into her territory and arranging battle traces for hundreds of li along the way. He staged the bodies so that even the howling‑sky god clan would believe it was Earth Mother Primordial Lady's demigods who ambushed them."
Azurecloud Sect Master said, "Don't worry, Jaden Jadehall is meticulous and a master of divination. When it comes to this kind of thing, his work is seamless—he won't leave any flaws."
Quinn Shepherd nodded. Azurecloud Heaven is a Dao Gate branch, specializing in numerology. Whenever the Heavenly Court needs to construct a Sky Chart, it must call on Azurecloud Heaven's Daoists.
