What ato keep the treasure all to hi man couldn’t understand If the Veranda’s master really had found a secret realm filled with treasure all his ohy had he invited sofound out? Or did he think that his cultivation breakthrough was a good enough excuse to bluff to the world with?
If the latter, then his plan had been a thorough failure It wasn’t just the imperial family as involved now, but a local third-ranked Scarlet Parting Sect as well This made for two factions in the open, withChen brooded a ether He couldn’t fully analyze the probleh He could only take one step at a time and proceed with caution
