135 Another Spy Mission (2/2)

”Nothing? Your camp is quite close to theirs.”

Fen Jue had an uncaring expression and refused to answer.

”Have you seen Murong Aiyin anywhere?” Chen Wentian tried again.

”…” Fen Jue's face filled with anger, ”Chen Wentian, many of my disciples died last night. I am still dealing with the aftermath. Do not bother me with stupid questions about another sect! Leave!”

His fists clenched together and his spiritual cloak blazed to life, lit up with deep red flames.

”Fine, fine. Goodbye.” Chen Wentian muttered and took Xu Lanyi and flew off.

”Master, he is lying!” Xu Lanyi complained as she watched the camp disappear.

”I know. It was just a distraction to place my spy down.”

He explained to her that he didn't expect to get anything out of Fen Jue and he didn't want to get into a brawl with the old man here. The Immortal Association generally didn't care about human immortals fighting each other. However, they could always poke their nose in if it got out of hand and it would then come down to who could make the compelling argument during mediation. He didn't have enough evidence to start a fight just yet but his trusty shadow fox would take care of that!

Fen Jue stayed in the air for a long time making sure Chen Wentian was gone. He finally sighed with relief and flew back to the camp. He knew the little nosy bastard would come knocking and had prepared for it. It was still a gamble but it had paid off.

Fen Jue landed at the center and several elders saluted.

”The way is clear, gather them up.” He commanded, pointing to the bodies that were lined up neatly.

His disciples immediately started to collect the bodies and place them in the carriages. They were careful to wrap up each in the red cloth so that nothing was revealed. Once it was done, the entire troop headed out wordlessly.

Unbeknownst to Fen Jue, a black shadow sneaked aboard one of the last carriages. It was of course Chen Wentian in his shadow fox form. He looked around to find only 'dead bodies' so he drilled into the nearest bundle of red cloth. As expected, he was met with the sleeping face of a beautiful maiden. He grimaced and double checked all the other bodies in the carriage. They were all Glacier Sect disciples that had been knocked unconscious. There were ten in this carriage. Given the total number of carriages, all the women captured from the camp were here but Long Yifei, her troop, and the elders weren't.

'Fen Jue, you old dog. I'll take care of you soon…' Chen Wentian thought viciously as he laid down beside one of the wrapped-up women and continued his spying mission.
