Chapter 383 - A Scene of Utter Destruction (1/2)

Xin Lan reached the gates of the Yun Zou Sect after only a few minutes. His gaze swept over the valley and the peaks with their houses and the mortals busying themselves and he frowned.

Where exactly was his master? He couldn't feel him from where he was right now. Had Qiu Ling lied to him after all? But no, that wasn't likely. The life of his beloved still depended on him and in contrast to his father Qiu Ling was serious about the person he loved. He wouldn't risk anything as long as his beloved was involved.

His master had to be here.

Xin Lan closed his eyes and extended his senses again. His presence swept over the Yun Zou Sect startling the disciples and elders into looking up. They couldn't see anyone though.

In just a few minutes, all the disciples had gathered on the plane in the middle of the outer sect. Most of their faces were already pale and quite a few had sweat running down their faces. Even the elders next to them looked slightly strained. Withstanding the power of a dragon as old and powerful as Xin Lan certainly wasn't easy. And that even now that he hadn't showcased all of his strength.

Sect Master Yuchi and Grandmaster Zhangsun were the only ones that still looked normal. They convened in between their peaks and soared up into the air to confront whoever had come to attack their Yun Zou Sect.

Yes, indeed, they both thought that somebody had come to attack them. After all, what other reason could there be for someone to release his presence like this in front of their gates? Well, they could probably count themselves lucky that this person hadn't attacked first and instead announced his arrival.

Yuchi Bing Xia looked around but couldn't spot anyone. He frowned. Shouldn't that person reveal himself if he came here like this? Well, he couldn't fathom the mind of someone who was even stronger than Grandmaster Zhangsun and he certainly couldn't be insolent in front of him or his Yun Zou Sect would cease to exist this very same day.

Ah, he could probably be happy that Yu Jin wasn't here right now. This way, whatever happened next, at least this disciple of his would survive.

Yuchi Bing Xia took a deep breath and addressed the empty air in front of them. ”Senior, this one is the Yun Zou Sect's Sect Master Yuchi Bing Xia. May I ask what Senior intends to do here?”

Xin Lan didn't even take a look. He just continued to search for his master. The more time passed, the worse his expression got. He couldn't sense him! It was as if his master really wasn't there! How could that be?! Had Qiu Ling indeed lied to him?

That bastard! Did he really think he could get away with this?!

Clouds gathered in the sky over the Yun Zou Sect and the winds picked up, making the robes of all those humans gathered there flutter. Thunder crackled over their heads and soon enough the first lightning strike enveloped the sect grounds in eerie, pale light.

Yuchi Bing Xia gulped and turned to the man next to him. ”Grandmaster … This is …”
