Chapter 398: Former Mayor? (1/2)

The disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect heard the peak master Yi Deng and supreme elders' words but didn't understand what they meant. But Lin Mu on the other hand had an idea of what they were talking about.

”Seems like the Empire missed this one…” The supreme elder spoke.

”Indeed… looks like it will be the time to inform the sects and the empire after this.” The peak master said in a cold tone.

Wu Hei and Lin Mu were now getting a bit anxious about their statements and had a bad feeling.

”What are you talking about elder?” Quan Hong questioned.

”Yes elder, what are these runes?” Fa Lao questioned.

”They are of an olden time, long before I was even born. It was a time of great strife, it was the time when the northern tribes invaded the empire.” Peak master Yi Deng answered.

Fa Lao and Quan Hong had not expected to hear something like this. Even Wu Teng was a bit surprised, but not as much as them. He was once part of the vermilion legion and had thus worked at the pear's belt. Because of this, he knew the history of the Continent and what had happened back then.

”They are even older than I am… perhaps older than the entire Tri cauldron peony sect.” The supreme elder added.

Hearing this, Yi Deng raised his brows in question. ”Supreme elder, you mean… this is one of the original ruins of the Grand northern alliance?”

”I'm afraid, yes. I do not know how this one stayed hidden for so long though…” The supreme elder replied.

Hearing the words Grand northern alliance finally enlightened the two disciples, Quan Hong and Fa Lao. Even Qing Yuan Tiu showed an interested expression.

”It would not have been able to stay hidden for so long unless…” Yi Deng muttered.

~Shing~

”Unless it was hidden intentionally by someone,” Fa Lao said before drawing his sword and pointing it towards Wu Hei and Wu Teng.

Quan Hong did the same and entered an offensive stance. Wu Hei was not fazed by this and maintained his composure. Wu Teng though had anger on his face.

”Where do you think you're pointing your swords? Lower them or you'll have no hands to do that.” Wu Teng threatened without the fear of the two elders.

”YOU…” Fa Lao was about to pretest when the supreme elder interrupted.

”Stop! It cannot be them or the Wu clan. The Wu clan did not even exist that long ago and only came to power in the recent hundred years.” The supreme elder spoke.

Fa Lao and Quan Hong lowered their swords but still felt a bit apprehensive.

”But if it wasn't the Wu clan then it must have been the predecessor, right? Which clan had authority over the Wu Lim city before them?” Quan Hong questioned.

Now, this was a question that interested even Lin Mu and he had wondered about it as well before.

”Before the Wu clan rose up under the influence of Wu Xun, the Zhen Clan was the one who had the city as one of their branches.” Yi Deng answered.

'Zhen clan? Does he mean Wu Hei's mother Zhen Sui's clan?' Lin Mu wondered.
