Chapter 267: Sensitive Information (1/2)

”Yes, it is indeed fine. You can say it.” Duan Ke spoke in a cold tone.

~Sigh~

”Alright, listen carefully. In the past one year there have been five incidences where nascent soul realm cultivators have gotten injured.

Of these five incidences, the first was because of a mistake cause during cultivating by the nascent soul realm elder belonging to the Wind Zither sect.

The second and third nascent soul realm cultivation realm experts were injured in a friendly spar and belong to the centennial sword sect.

The fourth nascent soul realm expert is a wandering cultivator called the Swan Daoist. He tried to rob one of the convoys of the kingdom and was hunted down by the royal regiment, thus getting injured. We do not know his exact location but know that he was last seen in the Southern plains.

As for the final incident, this… was the hardest one to obtain. An elder of the Sky Precepts sect was fatally injured with his current condition unknown. But the rumors are that he has succumbed to his injuries.” Jingming Shang revealed.

During the entire report, neither Jing Wei nor Duan Ke had much reaction, until when the last one was said.

”What? An elder of the sky precepts sect got fatally injured? But how?” Duan Ke asked in a shocked tone.

”I do not know. Even this bit of information cost me a lot to obtain.” Jingming Shang replied.

”Hmm, do you know what peak he belonged to?” Jing Wei questioned.

”I… do not know for sure. But from the additional information I gathered, it seemed like there was a change in the populace of the Sky Catching peak.” Jingming Shang said cryptically.

Jing Wei's eyes went wide, but he did not say anything. He had already understood what was to be understood from those words and knew that they were not to be stated outright.

The shop became silent for a minute after this as everyone started to comprehend the information that was just revealed. Lin Mu too was doing the same as he had learned quite a few new names this time.

Lin Mu had already known about the centennial sword sect and had also read up about them in the records he had obtained from Jing Wei before. He knew that the centennial sword sect was a sect full of cultivators that liked to battle and that they cultivated sword techniques.

It was common for the disciples to spar with each other and get injured. This time it was just that nascent soul realm cultivators were involved that's all.

Wind Zither sect was a new name that Lin Mu had heard, and he didn't know who they were. He quickly took a look through the records and found out who they were. The wind zither sect was a medium sized sect that was located in the western part of the Great Zhou Empire and was an average sect with nothing particular about them.

The Swan Daoist, this was the first wandering cultivator Lin Mu had heard about. There was no information recorded about him in the records, thus he couldn't do much about it.

But the final bit of informing that was said was also the most shocking one. The Sky precepts sect was the number one top sect of the Great Zhou Empire and was said to be equal if not above the emperor himself. Anything pertaining to them was taken with great importance, and it was thus quite surprising to hear that one of their elders was injured.
