The Earth Spirit Pearl had perfectly preserved Saintess Xing Huan in this manner; ever since the coffin had been buried, no one had been able to open the coffin nor had they been able to see Xing Huan's true visage. Therefore, the claim that her body was incorrupt was, in fact, a kind-hearted conjecture.
The winged natives could never allow outsiders to open the coffin and take the Earth Spirit Pearl; this wasn't a matter that could be resolved by persuasion or threats. With tens of thousands of people, there would always be those who saw wealth as mere dirt and those who stood for justice unafraid of death; it was simply an impossible mission.
But for cultivators in their pursuits, their means were ever-changing and these circumstances couldn't stump them; so they set up such a plot, letting the winged people unwittingly become ensnared, including the chieftains and elders, as well as the significant figures of Yiting. Other than the two of them, nobody else knew.
