Chapter 1247: Chapter 955: Summoning Peng Dahai (Part 3)
Before falling to the evil path, he was a member of a Noble Family. After offering the entire clan of his enemies and a fortune in sacrifice, he was promoted to Deputy Director. He valued his official position greatly and dreamt of replacing the Incense Master to become the Banner Master. He hated Peng Dahai to the core but also hoped to use Peng Dahai against the Incense Master to reap the benefits...
Jiang Yuan was led by two Corpse Puppets into the green forest ravine, which Peng Dahai had never set foot in. At a glance, he saw the detailed analysis of the exquisitely dressed man with a venomous gaze and thought, what a coincidence, I also want to meet the Incense Master!
Directly binding the Incense Master’s Merit Token is much more exhilarating than that of a mere Deputy Director?
"Disciple Peng Dahai, pays respect to the superior!" He quickened his steps forward and greeted the superior in the manner Lady Yu had instructed.
Thousand Lang turned around to look at the unfamiliar figure before him and couldn’t help but frown slightly, "Remove the mask."
He glanced at the Merit Token again to confirm Peng Dahai was right in front of him, and he couldn’t help but be puzzled.
This function assists superiors in locating subordinates nearby to avoid accidental harm or errors due to unfamiliarity, since the Merit Token was unquestionably sure, the unfamiliar figure before him was indeed Peng Dahai’s Divine Soul.
But the Peng Dahai that Thousand Lang had seen personally was a haggard old man with a hunched figure, which bore no resemblance to this person at all.
"Please forgive me, superior, disciple dares not remove the mask lightly." Jiang Yuan saluted once more, his voice trembling slightly, "Qihan Mountain has encountered a major issue, unable to contact the superior and in a state of anxiety. Now finally meeting you, please allow disciple to report in detail."
As he spoke, his alertness was at its peak.
If the other showed any abnormality, risking exposure, he would immediately drag him into the Seven-Layered Exquisite Pagoda to absorb his Lifespan and replace him!
Thousand Lang was doubtful but trusted the Magical Treasure within the sect, as Divine Soul cannot be counterfeit. If tampered with, the Merit Token would judge Peng Dahai dead, directly moving him to the death list.
Upon hearing that something happened at Qihan Mountain, he realized the old fellow indeed knew the story and nodded, "Explain in detail."
"Today, mysterious people appeared in the mountain, specifically targeting disciples! Ten of my downlines were quickly slaughtered by them, followed by my superior, Lady Yu. The enemy came prepared, clearly having already identified our identities thoroughly!
Disciple was fearful, narrowly escaped, and sought out the Faceless Pig Demon, spending a large sum to change my appearance through disguise arts, even changing my voice, barely escaping danger."
"Oh? You mean there is a traitor in the Leisure Sect?"
"If not, why would they directly target my downlines without hesitation? After escaping, I found that Lady Yu’s Flower Shop was emptied, her workers and regulars were all her downlines!
The Qihan Mountain is indeed chaotic, but no matter how chaotic, there is the Mountain Master’s Array as a foundation; the various factions operate under implicit rules. It is impossible for dozens to be lost in one day, especially all members of the Leisure Sect!"
Thousand Lang pondered for a moment. There were a total of forty-seven members on the death list, all developed under Lady Yu as downlines.
They usually operated within Qihan Mountain and were indeed all acquainted. Knowing familiar disciples lost their lives, no wonder the old fellow was scared enough to change his entire appearance and spent heavily on magical treasures to disguise his aura, refusing to remove them.
"This is a significant matter; I cannot make the decision." His lips curled up slightly, coldly saying, "I will seek guidance from the Incense Master immediately, being summoned by the Incense Master is also your fortune."
Thousand Lang added fuel to the fire, describing it dramatically. Then he considered there was a ready excuse to facilitate their meeting; He only wondered how to entice the old fellow to challenge the Incense Master? Dare to offend the superior?
