The Final Steal

One of the elders slowly said, "I wonder...is this some sort of ploy at foot? With the weird ending of the territorial competition, I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to attempt something." 

"Maybe." One of the ancient elders slowly trailed off. "But perhaps there are some truths to their words? Realistically, the Jias don't have anything to gain by defaming themselves with this news." 

"Still, no matter if it's true or not, any thief would not be able to escape from us! Even if they somehow slipped past our defenses, nobody can match our speed." A supremely confident ancient elder boasted. 

The others were all inclined to agree. Even the more cautious elders.

After all, the Dao law of Lightning not only has one of the most potent destruction power, but also one of the highest speeds among all Dao laws! 

Some lightning cultivators can even attain such speed that they transcend the temporal dimension of time.
