"Lingtian's luck is so good this time, isn't it? After leaving our Huoli Mansion camp, he happened to meet the seven people from our Huoli Mansion on the road?"

"But...how come those seven people are together?"

"It should be the top brass of our Huo Li Mansion. Let's summon them to meet somewhere."

"Meet? The seven of them...won't tell Duan Lingtian where they will meet, right?"

"Probably not... If they do this, wouldn't others be dragged down by them? If Duan Lingtian attacks everyone inside, no one can stop them, right?"

"I also think...if he were to defeat everyone in the Huo Li Mansion, except for Senior Brother Tan Yuan, including Senior Brother Mo Pingzhi, it would be very difficult not to be eliminated by him."

"Isn't this obvious? I really don't know what the people in Huo Li Mansion are thinking... Don't they know that unless they are sure to eliminate Duan Lingtian, they shouldn't take action too early?"

"None of the people who were eliminated are those on the standings... It seems that the disciples of the Huoli Mansion who sent points to Duan Lingtian are just Shifang Immortal Lords with average strength."

…

After seeing the changes in the standings, people from the major immortal mansions only thought that it was the people from the Huoli Palace who were recklessly giving points to Duan Lingtian.

Of course, there are also well-informed people who got the exact information from Huo Li Mansion through the messenger talisman:
