Upon arrival, I discovered that this was a flower cultivation center, seemingly inconspicuous from the outside.
Inside the innermost room, Yang Xiao not only met Nalan Shuo but also saw a familiar face.
This was a tall and thin elder, with dark and shiny skin, dressed in a gray, nondescript tracksuit and beige sneakers.
"Elder Dachai!" Yang Xiao quickly stepped forward, enthusiastically greeting the elder.
Elder Dachai was an elder of the Esoteric Sect. It was this person who had once slapped a Boundary Ghost flying at the Martial Training Field.
Later, when the Painted Woman lost control, he and another female elder followed Elder Kunpa to the Mirror World to help quell the uprising.
"Yang Xiao, I am here this time at the request of Dean Sheng. He asked me to bring some messages for you." Elder Dachai assumed an official demeanor, with a very serious expression, and Yang Xiao always remembered him as rather cold.
At this point, Elder Dachai paused, and Nalan Shuo, being a shrewd person, quickly found an excuse, saying that he had some matters to attend to and turned to leave.
With the door closed, only Yang Xiao and Elder Dachai remained in the room.
Actually, upon seeing Elder Dachai, Yang Xiao sensed that this matter was extraordinary. After all, if it were a normal message delivery, it could be conveyed through the Esoteric Sect and the Provincial Office without the need to send someone specifically.
Moreover, this Elder Dachai was not an ordinary person. With Half-step Nether Realm strength, his status in the Esoteric Sect was akin to that of the Demon Sect Vajra in the Dharma Sect, both being influential figures.
Sending him specifically just to convey a message made Yang Xiao certain that it was related to the young Sect Master.
Sure enough, after Nalan Shuo left, this elder, who never spoke of personal sentiments, lowered his voice, "Yang Xiao, that missing caravan has been found. They are unharmed and have returned safely."
This news indeed caught Yang Xiao by surprise, "Unharmed? They’re all alive?"
"Yes, alive, and they have no memory of what happened in between. In their memories, they only traveled for three days," Elder Dachai explained.
"Their memories of that period have been erased." This was evident, leading to the speculation that the Sect Master possessed a Spiritual Magical Artifact.
"Yes, it’s quite clear, and we speculate that person has already obtained the information he wanted. He knows that you’ve returned to the country." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Elder Dachai continued, "The reason he released them and didn’t kill was to avoid completely offending our Esoteric Sect. After all, he has already angered the Exoteric Sect. If he offends us as well, he can’t bear the consequences."
"I heard you’ve sent people to find him. Any progress?" This was Yang Xiao’s main concern.
"Yes, initially we searched for a long time with no trace of him. Later, Dean Sheng had a plan; he used an out-of-control Magic Artifact to set a trap, which indeed led that hidden expert to reveal themselves."
"Unfortunately, his true self wasn’t there; he only sent a few Puppets."
"We destroyed his Puppets and followed the clues to his hiding place, but it was already deserted. He had fled beforehand."
"However, his strongest Puppets were destroyed. Moreover, Elder Kunpa and Dean Sheng combined their efforts, using a secret technique to strike back against this mysterious expert via the Puppets, planting a Ghost Gu on him."
With that, Elder Dachai mysteriously pulled out a small box from his bosom, opening it to reveal a delicately crafted sachet inside.
"This... what’s this?" Yang Xiao couldn’t help but feel curious at the sight of the sachet. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"This is a secret treasure forged by our sect. You may understand it as a Magic Artifact, but it differentiates from ordinary Magic Artifacts. Its sole purpose is to sense the presence of Ghost Gu," Elder Dachai emphasized.
"As long as you wear it, if an Angel Envoy with a planted Ghost Gu appears nearby, this item will alert you," Elder Dachai emphasized.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao’s eyes lit up, immediately reaching out to take the item for a closer look. This thing was exceptionally vital to Yang Xiao at present.
Having it was akin to having an alarm; as soon as it alerted, Yang Xiao would be ready to escape immediately.
After all, with his current power, Yang Xiao had no chance against the genius Sect Master.
Simply put, Yang Xiao suspected that the guy could kill him just by glancing from afar.
But when Yang Xiao reached out, the other person did not hand over the treasure immediately, instead fixing him with a serious stare, "There’s one more matter you must be cautious about; this item can only be worn but must never be opened."
"What if it accidentally gets opened?" Yang Xiao was wary of such unknown objects.
"Then nothing much, just that the sensing between this item and the Ghost Gu is mutual. Once opened, the person with a planted Ghost Gu will also sense your presence," Elder Dachai said lightly.
However, Yang Xiao felt a chill run down his spine as he listened, deciding that it’s better not to open the item at all.
If that young Sect Master could sense his presence, it would spell enormous trouble for him.
After receiving this mysterious sachet, Yang Xiao promptly put it on, worried about losing it, he even placed it in a very safe location.
He could lose his underwear, but not this treasure.
Having done all that, Yang Xiao immediately felt much safer, exhaling a long breath before asking, "What exactly is the Ghost Gu that’s been planted? Can’t it be erased?"
Yang Xiao had seen the young Sect Master, knowing the extent of his skills. He thought the guy might really have some way to remove this hidden threat.
Unexpectedly, Elder Dachai maintained a stern face, confidently stating, "Absolutely impossible. Dean Sheng said, unless this person surpasses him in terms of spiritual power level, but that’s impossible in the short term."
Since Sheng Yanlin said it, Yang Xiao believed there was no problem, as in terms of playing with spiritual power, this person was a top-level expert.
He had once mentioned to him, after obtaining the Wisdom Stick, even the Cannibal Buddha would find it extremely difficult to eavesdrop without alerting him.
