Chapter 637 - The Hero Has Returned! (1/2)
”Lord Luo! The Hero has returned! I repeat, the Hero has returned!”
A guard came rushing into Lord Luo's room without knocking.
”Hero? What nonsense are you talking about? We are having an important discussion right now! Scram!” Lord Luo got angry when his important meeting was interrupted, not to mention the grave situation that has been stressing him lately.
”Sorry for interrupting your meeting, but I heard you need some help, so I came.”
Yuan entered the room a few moments later.
However, because of how drastically different his appearance was compared to his last visit, especially his longer hair, Lord Luo didn't recognize Yuan at first.
”Y-You are—!”
Once Lord Luo got a good look at Yuan's handsome face, his body immediately began shivering from sheer excitement, and he even began crying.
”D-Daoist Yuan! Is that really you, Daoist Yuan?!” Lord Luo couldn't control his emotions and spoke as though he was before his savior.
”You have changed— grown so much in just a few months! I almost didn't recognize you!”
”It's really me,” Yuan confirmed with a gentle nod.
Then he continued, ”Can you tell me what's troubling you and the city? If there's anything I can do to help…”
”Please take a seat first—” Lord Luo suddenly stopped talking when he finally noticed the four beauties standing behind Yuan.
He turned to look at the table only to realize that there was not enough room for everyone.
However, he promptly made a decision and said to the people sitting down, ”Stand up and let these esteemed guests sit!”
”It's okay, we can stand.” Yuan shook his head.
The people that had already begun leaving their seats froze, and they turned to look at Lord Luo.
”If you say so, Daoist Yuan.” Lord Luo nodded before telling the others to get back in their seats.
After sitting down and taking a deep breath, Lord Luo spoke, ”Daoist Yuan, have you heard of the Blood Sect?”
”The Blood Sect?” Yuan found this name very familiar for some reason, but he couldn't instantly recall where he'd heard it.
”Young Master, the Blood Sect is one of the top evil sects in this world. Their disciples practice dangerous and forbidden cultivation techniques that people don't practice for obvious reasons, which more often than not causes their disciples to go crazy or become bloodthirsty, and when that happens, they cause havoc in the cultivation world.” Feng Yuxiang gave him a brief explanation.
'Ah, I remember now… The Sect Master of the Flying Sword Sect mistook me as a disciple from that place…' Yuan finally recalled what occurred really early on in his journey in this world.
”What about the Blood Sect? Are they causing trouble in this city?” Yuan then asked.
”No, they're not— at least not yet.” Lord Luo sighed.
”Not yet? What do you mean by that? Are you expecting trouble?”
Lord Luo nodded and said, ”Ever since the Blood Sect's most talented disciple— who is also their Sect Master's only son disappeared mysteriously, they have been doing all sorts of crazy things, such as attacking people randomly.”
