Chapter 304 - A Matter of Luck (1/2)
Jin Ling wasn't feeling well either. He continued to curse himself inwardly but still continued on. He had a task to fulfill right now. He couldn't let anything distract him.
He rushed up the mountain in front of him but finally noticed that this couldn't be the right place. There was only one palace on the peak and no signs of even one disciple.
He tsked and turned back so as to take a look at the second peak. His luck was pretty abysmal that day though. After the Grandmaster's peak, he had chosen the Sect master's peak of all places. Thus he found a few houses that seemed to be used by disciples but some of them weren't even there while the rest was deep in cultivation. There was no way to eavesdrop on anything so his mission was once again foredoomed.
Jin Ling wasn't ready to give up though. He sneaked into one of the houses and started to rummage about. Shouldn't those humans have something that would represent their identity? Qiguan, Qiguan … Wasn't that name mentioned anywhere?
He finally found a jade pendant that had a name engraved but unfortunately, it wasn't Qiguan. Ah, so it turned out he had wasted his time again.
Jin Ling carelessly threw the pendant away and left the house. He leaned against the wall next to the door and looked out at the sect grounds. This wasn't working. He might need forever to even find that Qiguan Cheng Da if he continued like this. No, he needed to do something else.
Jin Ling took out a transmission stone and imbued it with his energy. Immediately, the pale image of a white-haired man whose face was partly covered by a mask appeared.
”Your Highness.”
Jin Ling curled his lips. Still calling him that? ”Xin Lan, send someone to ask that Xiao Li where I can find that Qiguan Cheng Da from the Yun Zou Sect.”
”As you wish.” The transmission stopped instantly.
Jin Ling sighed. Ah, this guy … he was still the same as always. Couldn't he at least take the time for a simple farewell? He really would have liked to ask him … about Jinde.
Jin Ling looked back toward the other peak or rather the array at its foot. Most likely Xin Lan wouldn't have been able to tell him anything else but still. If there was even a slim possibility that he was still alive, then he had to know.
Mn … Xin Lan would send someone immediately but that person would still need to go to the capital and then from there bring the message over to the Yun Zou Sect. That would take a while. So, why shouldn't he go and take another look?
Yes, maybe he was chasing shadows but he still wanted to make sure.
He left the peak and once again went to the array. He didn't hesitate. He stepped into the array and arrived in the special dimension a moment later. Once again he opened his eyes to the beauty of a green retreat. An alchemist would probably like this type of place.
Jin Ling's lips curved. He had time now. Thus, he wouldn't leave until he hadn't searched every nook and cranny of this place.
On the other side of the dimension, Jinde froze. He still hadn't calmed down after the shock of seeing Jin Ling and thus hadn't even left his hiding place. Now, the array had activated once more.
