Chapter 366: A Master Stroke! (1/2)
Somewhere in the vast lands of Fable, an old man was seen meditating in a lotus position in the comforts of his chamber. He wore a robe with a picturesque dragon image on its back.
The colors were vivid and the black dragon seemed to come alive on the eyes of anyone who would see it. Alas, no one was around to witness this old man and his garb at the moment.
And so this Dark Dragon Sect Elder continued to cultivate in peace. This was true until a mystical object came unexpectedly in his midst.
”CRACK!” There was an illusion of a broken void but it disappeared when a white swan materialized from out of the blue.
The old man opened his eyes and his irises flashed in an eerie light. What was curious was how his eyes took a serpentine look rather than that of a mortal.
This old man was of course no one else but Elder Ye Yun. The one who spearheaded the invitation for the Heavenly Expedition in the Southern Continent of Fable.
Ye Yun reached for the magical paper and scoured the contents after a few breaths.
”That is strange. No one notable enough should wander in that place where even the birds ignore to defecate.” Ye Yun muttered but was careful enough to double check his information.
”THRUM!” A muted sound occurred and the lines and terrains began to form directly before him. This was the map of the Southern Continent of Fable.
He spent a 5 minute study on the map and decided that his hunch had been correct.
The greatest power near and around the city of Aurora should have only been at the Peak of Soul Birth Realm and not more.
”The hidden clans?” Ye Yun asked himself. The juniors of cultivation may consider these clans as strong and mysterious but a seasoned expert like Ye Yun knew better than the majority.
These hidden clans were only vestiges of a glory long gone. Most of them were the families and sects of those who were brave enough to join a Heavenly Expedition.
With their Patriarchs and Emperors wanting for a new adventure and in order to conquer the unknown, many of them sailed towards the Central Continent with the hope of success, wealth, and more.
Unfortunately for them, they were never heard of again.
So with the loss of their leaders in the aftermath, those that remained could only hide in order to avoid the greedy eyes of masses.
”Hidden clan or not but i don't have the manpower to send bodies into that place.” Ye Yun signed and deliberated his next actions.
Although the Dark Dragon Sect has come with about 1 million experts into the continent of Fable but that alone was barely enough to cover all the lands of the South.
One could only imagine how vast this South part of the world was. Ye Yun used about 3 minutes making a helpless decision.
”Continue with the recruitment. Stay away from that man at all costs. Remember that you still have a quest to finish!” Ye Yun spoke these words unto the paper swan on his hands.
He did not even mention Du Feng's demise. It was unfortunate but their mission was more important than the life of a single luckless disciple.
To this, Ye Yun could only accept the reality of life. It was as unpredictable as a woman's true nature.
