Chapter 850 - Your Lucky Day (1/2)

On the other hand, Liu Cheng's Master, Xian Xun, was everything but happy when he saw his disciple return with obvious wounds. Liu Cheng was his best disciple. He had reached the highest level and had the most experience. For him to return like this … And especially since he had gone to the Yun Zou Sect with the others. What could have happened?

Liu Cheng bowed to his Master and then sat down at his cue. ”Things didn't go quite as planned.”

”Did the Yun Zou Sect get into trouble?”

”Not the kind of trouble we imagined.” Liu Cheng sighed and then started to summarize what had happened while he and the other disciples were visiting.

Xian Xun stayed silent for a while before he sighed. ”So they are likely harboring two demons and are refusing to let us investigate.”

”Yes. And even the Liu He Alliance's people interfered. I can't understand what that is about. This doesn't concern them.”

”Indeed. But you said that one of the demons was the same person that had traveled from the Yun Zou Sect to the Liu He Alliance previously. Maybe they made some kind of deal or that creature managed to bewitch Alliance Head Hua. It's not impossible. Even a high level doesn't make one immune to this kind of thing.”

”Well, that would be one possibility. But what should we do now? We have always had a good relationship with the Yun Zou Sect. I don't think …” He trailed off, looking at his Master with his brows furrowed.

He didn't want to have to fight against somebody who was their friend. Even if they had sheltered that demon, they might have done so unknowingly. And if somebody got caught in a demon's lies, it was hard to get out of them again. So it was better to somehow get to these demons and take them away without implicating the Yun Zou Sect. Unfortunately, doing this kind of thing also wasn't easy.

Xian Xun leaned back and crossed his arms in front of his chest, silently pondering. Since Liu Cheng hadn't been able to enter the array, there had to be some trick as to how to get in. But if Yuchi Bing Xia and Zhangsun Xun Yi weren't willing to cooperate with them, there was no way for their people to got in and take care of this matter quietly. To do so, they would need to get some information about that array first.

”I guess we'll have to take a chance this time.”

Liu Cheng raised his brows. ”What do you mean, Master?”

”We will have to ask somebody about that array first but I'm afraid that the disciples of the Yun Zou Sect won't be willing to tell us anything. Since the Sect Master and the Grandmaster have already been bewitched by these demons, they will have instructed them not to speak about it either. We can only use somebody who doesn't know about the situation yet and might be willing to give up some information.”

”A disciple that was out on a mission? I'm sure there should be some but how will we know where they currently are and if they haven't been contacted by their Masters?”
