Chapter 573: Investigate everything! (1/2)
The map itself covered a vast area of countless miles, showing more than a thousand cities within the Holy sect's territory.
After locating the 'Giant Crane forest' on the map and seeing that it was just a little more than 3000 miles away from the Holy city, Shun Long flew past the Holy city's gates as he headed towards the west where the forest was located.
...
At the same time, inside the Holy sect, in a private room at the depths of the 'Administration Hall', the yellow-robed outer disciple from the 'Exchange counter' who had accepted Shun Long's mission, was now standing in front of a white-robed old man who had almost no hair left on his head.
The old man was staring at the young woman with a serious look on his face, before he asked in a solemn tone
''Did you find him?''
The yellow-robed young woman nodded her head seriously before she answered with a respectful bow
''I did, Elder Zhi. His name is Shun Long and he handed in the D-rank personal mission around an hour ago. Just like Elder Zhi requested, I have already verified that he is the person who killed Yan Wen from the Yan family before he eliminated the 2 slave traders, Dai Lim and Dai Hao.''
Elder Zhi stood up from his seat with a furious look on his face as he looked at the young woman in front of him, before he said angrily
''Around an hour ago? Didn't I tell you to inform me immediately as soon as you learned of that bastard's name?''
The yellow-robed young woman trembled when she felt the aura of the furious peak rank 9 Dao King boring down on her, making her unable to breathe.
A few moments later, after the pressure that Elder Zhi emitted started to ease, the yellow-robed young woman from the Exchange counter gasped for a few moments as she tried to regain her breath, before she responded
''Elder Zhi, it's because Elder Gao was in the Assignment Hall today that I couldn't come earlier. Elder Zhi should understand, that if Elder Gao saw me leaving my post for no reason, I would be punished heavily!''
Indeed, although the young woman had informed Shun Long that Elder Zhi and Yan Xiang from the Yan family were both looking for him, she had only done that so that she wouldn't feel guilty when she ratted him out.
She wouldn't waste an hour before she informed Elder Zhi if there wasn't a good reason for that.
Elder Zhi seemed to have calmed down significantly when he heard the words 'Elder Gao', but he still snorted before he waved his hand, throwing a spatial ring towards the young woman.
Upon checking the contents of the spatial ring, the young woman was overjoyed as she hurriedly bowed and said
''Thank you Elder!''
''Leave.''
Elder Zhi's cold voice was the only response that the young woman got, but she didn't seem to mind it as she accepted the spatial ring and left the Administration Hall without any delay.
After the young woman left the room, Elder Zhi took out a black-colored sect identifying token and injected his qi inside it.
