Chapter 370 Turning Ethereal To Hide (2/2)
At this moment, sect master Qing Yang chuckled and said, “It is merely a dispute between disciples. There is no need for us to be overly concerned with this matter.”
He paused for a moment, as he looked at peak master Ling Jun and said, “However, their actions today will easily draw the ire of others. Peak master Ling Jun should remind his disciples that though it is good to be straightforward and decisive when one acts, the disciples from the other peaks are still your fellow brothers and sisters.”
Peak master Ling Jun gently nodded and said, “Sect master is right. I will discipline those rascals after the selection test.”
However, judging by his expression, it was clear he did not think his disciples were in the wrong, and had only said those words because the sect master had spoken.
...
Deep within the mountain range, in the outskirts of the valley.
Le Tian was standing atop a tree, his gaze tightly fixed on the valley. As time passed, he suddenly frowned a little. He had realized that the search party had already scanned the entire valley once. However, they had not uncovered any signs of Zhou Yuan.
The Sword Cometh Peak disciples in the valley rose into the sky, and looked towards Le Tian in confusion.
“Senior brother Le Tian, we can’t find him!”
Outside the valley, a wave of noise swept through the area, shock filling the faces of the many disciples from the various peaks. Had Zhou Yuan really concealed himself so well?
A look of confusion flashed across Le Tian’s eyes.
“Could he have fled?” Beside him, Lu Xuanyin’s face was not looking too good at this moment.
Le Tian shook his head and said, “That’s impossible. We have already sealed off this whole area. There is no way he has escaped!”
“Then…” Lu Xuanyin hesitated for a moment. Their previous search had obviously failed to deliver any results.
“He must still be hiding inside!” Le Tian decisively declared.
He waved his hand and said, “You guys follow me in again. I will lead the search!”
His body moved, taking charge of the nine disciples as they charged into the mist-filled valley.
With Le Tian now leading them, half an incense stick of time passed, before he floated back up into the air with an ugly expression.
This time, an uproar broke out even outside the mountain range, countless gazes staring at this scene in shock. None of them had expected Le Tian and his crew to lose track of Zhou Yuan after trapping him in the valley.
Whispers spread, and some individuals even began to gloat. Sword Cometh Peak had caused quite a stir by so brazenly hunting Zhou Yuan down together, only to end up losing sight of him when he was right under their noses. If they allowed Zhou Yuan to escape, Sword Cometh Peak would lose all face.
The commotion grew louder and louder as it spread.
Finally, even sect master Qing Yang and the other peak masters began to turn their attention over once again.
“Haha, now this is interesting.” Sect master Qing Yang chuckled.
A look of intrigue had surfaced in his deep and wise eyes, a rarely seen expression to the disciples of Cangxuan Sect.
...
Le Tian’s expression darkened in response to the whispers and amused gazes. He hovered above the valley, and looked down at the mist below.
With a deep breath, he suppressed his churning emotions as his eyes glowed brightly.
“Senior brother Le Tian, should we spread out and continue the search?” Lu Xuanyin could not help but ask. Her expression was also not a pretty sight.
Le Tian did not answer. Instead, he continued to stare intensely at the valley below.
As he stared, another half an incense stick of time passed.
Behind him, Lu Xuanyin grew increasingly impatient. However, just as she was about to speak, Le Tian’s deep voice slowly sounded.
“Junior brother Zhou Yuan is truly amazing…”
“If I am not mistaken, you… should have reached the advanced level of the Ethereal Form technique?!”
