Chapter 396: The Supreme Elders Praise (1/2)

Peak master Yi Deng's expression turned serious as he heard the words of the supreme elder.

”I had guessed that it could have been something like that, but now this…” Yi Deng said and trailed off.

”Indeed… this is much worse than we thought. Seems like the disciples offended a power that has a nascent soul realm cultivator backing it. And not only that but one that has a spatial treasure.” The supreme elder acknowledged.

Yi Deng looked around and tried to sense the spatial disturbance on his own, but barely could.

”Supreme elder, can you pinpoint where the spatial disturbance came from? Perhaps we can track it?” Yi Deng questioned.

Just as this question was asked, Lin Mu and the others had also reached the area and heard these words. Lin Mu tensed up slightly and was ready to use Fade at any moment. The others also listened on with sharp ears, not willing to miss even a single word.

”Unfortunately, the traces are far too faint for me to tell where they existed from. They could be from right where I'm standing at, the stage, the audience, the manor or even someplace outside the city. The degree of its accuracy is too low.” The supreme elder shook his head.

”I understand. But if they were able to do something like this then they must have some reason, right? I mean kidnapping a core condensation realm cultivator right under the noses of us all, wouldn't it have been better to do it someplace else?” Yi Deng questioned.

”Hmm… this is not what they intend, I think. Rather, this was a warning to us.” The supreme elder replied.

”A warning? To the Tri cauldron peony sect? What kind of power do they have that they think they can do this? Even the top sects wouldn't do something like this sneakily.” Yi Deng scoffed.

”Whoever they are, one thing is sure; Fa Shiu saw something he should not have and survived. You should know this, didn't you speak with him?” The supreme elder asked with his brows raised.

”He told me everything, how they were looking for a gift for Yi Zi Jin and obtained a beast core. Then they were discovered by some cultivators who wanted to rob them, but then when they resisted they were attacked instead and the juniors were killed.

Fa Shiu said that it was a group of five core condensation realm cultivators.” The supreme elder spoke.

The supreme elder scratched his beard and thought for a minute before speaking.

”Then that must be it. He saw their faces.” The supreme leader concluded.

”He said that he didn't know them, and this was the first time he was seeing them. But if they were core condensation realm cultivators, then they should have been well known. Even wandering core condensation realm cultivators have a reputation.” Yi Deng replied.

”Hmm… We'll know once we investigate these culprits you were speaking of, you said they're here in the city, right?” The supreme elder asked.
