Chapter 817 - The Missing Elder Liqiang (1/2)

Everyone was currently sitting in the Kong plane, in one of the caves that the servants had set up as a meeting hall. This was one of the recent developments and was made on a suggestion by adviser Liu.

He said that since the Kong plane will be used as a junction for many locations, it will be better to have a meeting hall for the alliance right here. And that was exactly what Lin Mu got set up.

Clearing up some of the rocks in the cave for making the hall took Lin Mu barely a few minutes and the rest of the work was simply done by the servants that Adviser Liu sent in. The formations were easy to set up as well as Lin Mu simply needed to expand on the already existing ones.

Since he was already the owner of the plane, it was a piece of cake for him.

Two weeks had passed since Elder Liqiang had left for the Noon Grass sect. Lin Mu and Jing Luo had gotten a bit anxious since they had received no message since that day and were a bit worried.

They had tried contacting Elder Liqiang as well, but they received no response.

”Do you think he may be in danger?” Adviser Liu asked.

”It's possible, but if he was in trouble, he should have contacted us at the very start.” Lin Mu replied.

”What about the others at the Noon Grass sect? Do they know anything? We still have a contract with them right?” Jing Luo asked.

”I've talked with the master and the other elders. They are worried about Elder Liqiang too.” Hua San replied.

'Just what could it be…' Lin Mu thought as he fiddled his fingers.

'For a Dao Shell realm cultivator like Elder Liqiang to be unable to contact us, it should have been something that either knocked him out directly, or managed to trap him somehow.' Lin Mu tried to think.

”What are the likely dangers that he can face on his way there? Do you know of them?” King Hong questioned the Noon Grass disciples.

”While there are dangerous areas on the way to the Noon Grass sect, most of them are something that shouldn't trouble a Dao Shell realm cultivator like Elder Liqiang.” Hua San replied.

”What about beasts? Are there any that can threaten them?” one of the ministers questioned.

”Hmm… there are a few areas where Nascent soul realm beasts live and are dangerous to the average cultivator, but for Elder Liqiang it is still simple to bypass or fight them.” Hua San answered again.

Everyone discussed and tried to figure out the reason behind the lack of communication, and it finally reached a point where they could not go forward.

”That's it. We'll end this for today. No use discussing it further. All we can do now is wait…” Lin Mu said, dismissing everyone.

”As you wish, Senior Lin Mu.” Everyone said and started to leave.

~Sigh~

Lin Mu sighed and felt a hand on his shoulder.

”We'll figure something out, don't worry.” Jing Luo said.

”I know, but I just feel like we should have gone along with him as well. At least that way we would have finished the task even if we would have lost some time.” Lin Mu said.
