Chapter 316 - The Culprit (2/2)

The people, “…”

The demons, “…”

And the demons trembled together.

So… So horrible… They are actually going to eat the demon corpses!

Before everyone had been able to react, the disciple who left just now suddenly ran back, an anxious look on his face, “Sect master, it’s no good! That disciple called Jing Qi had disappeared.”

“What?” Lou Hong’s face darkened. “Wasn’t he locked up? How can he disappear? Have you checked the disciples’ entrance and exit record?”

“I have. Nobody had seen him leave. I only realized he was not there when I went to the locked room.”

“This child…” A flash of anxiety crossed Lou Hong’s face. Couldn’t something have happened to him? He suddenly remembered something.

Everybody turned to look at the dog monarch… uh no, the wolf monarch!

The wolf monarch’s hair all stood up. “No no no… It wasn’t me!” Don’t wrong a good wolf! “We didn’t even get to enter the mountain gate, how could we get him? Besides, I didn’t even find the Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid…”

“Supremacy, in your opinion…” Lou Hong looked towards Lonemoon awkwardly.

Lonemoon frowned. Maybe that stupid kid just ran away by himself.

“Let’s return to the sect first.”

Lou Hong nodded. Only then did everyone fly back to the main peak, bringing the captured small demons. Lou Hong walked in the front and just as he was about to enter the audience hall when a coercive force of a Soul Formation cultivator suddenly emerged from inside, and without paying attention he directly stepped back.

The suppression actually intensified, and it swept over the crowd recklessly with a murderous aura.

Lonemoon’s expression turned cold. Did they think that he was dead? In an instant, he used the suppression unique to sword cultivators to counter-attack. The suppression rushed into the hall mercilessly and hit the cultivator sitting in a high position.

Sounds of tumultuous movement of tables and chairs immediately came from the hall, as if the person had lost his balance. Only then did Lonemoon lead the crowd inside. They looked at the middle-aged cultivator who came uninvited and sat in a high-ranking position.

“Honesty Sect actually produced a Soul Formation cultivator! I underestimated you.” The cultivator on top stood up and looked towards Lonemoon with vigilance.

“You are… Supremacy Wu Xiang of Divine Heaven Sect.” Lou Hong was shocked as he immediately recognized the person. Divine Heaven Sect was the top sect of Upper Azure World, with millions of disciples, and Honesty Sect could by no means compare with them. They also had more than a dozen Soul Formation Supremacies in their sect, and this Supremacy Wu Xiang was among the best of them. Rumors had it that he was already halfway immortal.

“It seems that this old man is still recognized!” The man smiled, but his look remained rather proud.

Lou Hong frowned. “May I know what business Supremacy has here at Honesty Sect?” And he even started fighting indiscriminately. If not for Supremacy Lonemoon, he himself may even be hurt.

“I came for nothing else but this old man’s new disciple.” Wu Xiang looked at him, and probably due to Lonemoon’s presence, he said with a serious tone, “I have recently received a new disciple called Jing Qi, who had been troubling you here recently. I have already brought him away just now, before I realized that I have not given you a notice, that’s why I came back.”

“Jing Qi…” Lou Hong’s face darkened. No wonder he suddenly disappeared. He was brought away by him. He would never expect a little kid like that to actually know Supremacy Wu Xiang.

“That’s right. He will be my only personal disciple from now onwards.” His look was cold, and with a hint of blame in his voice he continued, “This is the disciple I have had over so many years of cultivation, and inevitably I am rather protective of him. Besides coming to notice your sect, there’s also another matter that I’d like to ask Honesty Sect!”
