Chapter 336: The Time to Hunt (1/2)
”What do you mean?” Ming Yue asked.
Senior Qiu looked at her before glancing away.
”Do you know why I took you back to our quarters? It is because there are others watching us.”
She then took out a small booklet and handed it to Ming Yue for her to read.
Opening it, Ming Yue read it contents before realizing what it was.
”This... is a list.”
”To be precise, it is a list of all of the different kingdoms and sects that joined the army. This includes their numbers and their names.”
”How do you have this?”
”Hah, every side has a list like this. It is normal here. Though tell me, what name there catches your eye?”
Ming Yue looked down and continued to read through until she realized it.
”There is a group of Tao Feng as part of the army!”
Senior Qiu nodded.
”Indeed, and this group is like all of the other ones, they are all elites. Elders and strong elites of the Tao Feng Sect.”
Ming Yue then thought back to the battle at the Merciless Storm Peak. Was there anyone there other than Dai Mian and his Immortal Army?
”No, there were no elders or even disciples. But most of them must have become part of the Immortal Army” ,she thought.
But if that was the case, what made this group so special?
Senior Qiu seemed to understand was Ming Yue was thinking and began to explain the identities of those within the Tao Feng.
”All of them are the personal disciples of the Tao Feng's Sect Leader. Fourteen cultivators with varying skils had been sent here under the guise of experiential training. However, they are really searching for treasures and forgotten skills.”
”Do you remember the one named Zuo Er? He was a personal disciple and gained the name of ”Junior Sect Leader” but in truth, he was the weakest of all fifteen disciples. He was chosen as successor to the Tao Feng due to his potential being the highest. But then, he was crippled and subsequently vanished from sight.”
”He is dead now”, Ming Yue blurted out, surprising Senior Qiu, who then went deep into thought.
”Interesting... Nevertheless, you must be curious as to where they are headed.”
”The Hundun Clan, right?” said Ming Yue.
”Unfortunately not, all of them had mobilized several days ago, splitting into five groups of three. Each one have their own destination but that information is difficult to get. The only one we know of the one closest to us, the Yao Clan's territory. Over there, the Yao and Mu are in a bitter struggle as they have always been.”
”Their movement... it matches when the Sect Leader vanished with Hua Xiong.”
”In terms of, their goal... the Yao and Mu are currently vying over a secret realm, built by their ancestors as an act of friendship. It is said to contain energy that is extremely beneficial for beasts and cultivators alike, especially those from the Yao and Mu. Not to mention, it contains numerous herbs and treasures within. Rather than a secret realm, it might as well be an inheritance.”
Ming Yue listened carefully, committing this information to heart.
”But if it was created as an act of friendship, why would the two clans fight each other?”
This little detail was strange to her.
”The Yao Clan originate from the Yao Beast and the Mu originate from Er-Lang Shen, a famed killer of beasts. Do you think they would continue to be friendly with one another? However, they had always been on bad terms. According to what the Yao Clan says, this secret realm was created by force.”
