Conspiracy

Xue Wei was surprised that even some random cultivators and mercenaries were able to guess that he was not a Primordial Beast. But if that was the case, why were the upper echelons eager to make him out to be one?

"What do you know?" someone suddenly said from a table not far away. "They are using this as an excuse to take down Xiao Lei," he spoke in a low voice as he slowly moved towards the table.

"Take down Xiao Lei?" one of the burly men asked with confusion, and the man who was coming towards them nodded his head vigorously.

"In this kingdom, when you think about the most illustrious person, who is it?"

"Primordial Beast Hunter Xiao Lei."

"Indeed. In most kingdoms, it would be the King or the Emperor or his princes, but here it is a measly hunter. He is not even nobility!"

"It is the upper echelons of society who are certain that this nephew of his is a Primordial Beast, and they are hunting him with everything they got under this premise."
