Chapter 760 - A Suspicious Person (1/2)
While the group made their way over to the repository where the soul-engraving dagger was being kept, things were rapidly progressing in the mortal realm. The group of demon hunters that had traveled northward and taken Jinde with them, had already managed to eliminate the threat and returned to the Chun Feng Sect.
Liu Cheng walked into his Master's study, cupping his fists and bowing. ”Master, we've returned. The mission has been accomplished and the populace has been saved from that evil scourge.”
Sect Master Xian nodded his head. ”Very good. You've also come back in time. A delegation will head over to the Yun Zou Sect soon. Considering what happened the last time, I would like you and Hong Bao to go there in my stead.”
Liu Cheng raised his brows. ”Is Master worrying about the Yun Zou Sect's condition?”
Xian Xun nodded. ”Yes. Originally, whatever happened over there should have been good news but you can imagine how the other sects reacted. I'm afraid if there aren't any alleys over there to showcase their strength, then things might turn ugly for them. Right, take a few of your junior martial brothers and sisters with you. It's better if a group goes. That way, if somebody questions you for why you are there, you can tell those outsiders that you were on a mission and just stopping by because of the good relationship between our sects. Nobody will be able to say anything against that.”
Liu Cheng bowed again. ”Yes, Master.”
”Very well. If there's nothing else, then you should go and choose whom to take.”
Liu Cheng nodded and didn't go yet. ”Actually, there is indeed something else. While on our way to Bing Hai town, we met a suspicious person. They said they were from the Yun Zou Sect and wanted to go to the Liu He Alliance. It was quite curious because the person didn't seem to know the way. They said they had been hadn't left the sect in a long time but with the popularity of the Liu He Alliance and their long tradition that does seem a little strange.”
”Oh?” The Sect Master raised his brows and folded his hands, propping his elbows up on the table. ”Was there anything you noticed about their appearance or behavior?”
Liu Cheng shook his head. ”No, they were wearing a veiled hat so their face was obstructed. There was no way to even glimpse their appearance and I couldn't make out anything from the voice either. All I can say is that the person was probably a man, not too young, maybe in his late twenties or early thirties.”
”They wore that hat the whole time?”
