326 Enemy Attack (1/2)
Faced with Yun Lu's anxious questions, Freezing Wind's expression turned even more ugly. He turned to look at Zhou Donghuang as if there was something he wanted to say but was unsure about.
”Go ahead,” said Zhou Donghuang seriously.
”Young Master.”
Freezing Wind took in a deep breath and said, ”Senior He Jin and I headed to the Xuesha Sect, and found that all the adepts who were above the Primal Core stage had left, and...”
At this point, Freezing Wind paused momentarily before continuing, ”Behind the courtyard in a corner of the Xuesha Sect, I also found the decayed carcasses of two flying beasts. From the shape of their wings and their body sizes, I thought that they could have been Big Gold and Little Gold.”
The moment Freezing Wind's words left his mouth, Yun Lu burst into tears. Then, her cries suddenly stopped, and she collapsed into Zhou Donghuang's arms.
After confirming that his sister had only fainted, Zhou Donghuang heaved a sigh of relief, but his eyes were furious.
”To confirm this, I grabbed some Xuesha Sect disciples nearby and questioned them, and they confirmed the identity of Big Gold and Little Gold.
”Because Big Gold and Little Gold had gone to the Xuesha Sect many times in the past and frightened many of the Xuesha Sect's disciples, most of the Xuesha Sect disciples recognized them.
”A while ago, a powerful adept had appeared in the Xuesha Sect, and even the Sect Leader and the Golden Essence elders of the Xuesha Sect were all very respectful towards him.
”Some time ago, Big Gold and Little Gold headed to the Xuesha Sect again, and the Xuesha Sect Leader asked for help from that powerful adept in killing both Big Gold and Little Gold.
”I was told that he used just two blows to kill them.”
Freezing Wind took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Donghuang with a tinge of worry.
”Young Master, please accept my condolences,” he comforted.
Freezing Wind was well aware of the relationship that Zhou Donghuang shared with Big Gold and Little Gold.
Their relationship was nothing less than the relationship Yun Lu had with the two eagles.
Zhou Donghuang looked at He Jin.
At the same time that Zhou Donghuang turned towards He Jin, He Jin added, ”From the injuries that they sustained, it was definitely the act of an ultimate Dharma adept.
”After they died, all their essence was taken away, and it was definitely used to aid someone who had practiced an evil technique.”
He Jin shared what he had found out.
”Ultimate Dharma stage?”
Zhou Donghuang's eyes flashed coldly. Just an ultimate Dharma adept, but being so arrogant and acting in such an unrestrained manner on the Ziyun planet… and even killing Big Gold or Little Gold!
”Big Gold, Little Gold...”
”Someone is here.”
Zhou Donghuang was still reminiscing the times he had spent with the two golden-crowned eagles when He Jin seemed to have noticed something, and he suddenly looked into the sky.
Upon hearing him, Zhou Donghuang turned to look up right away. With his senses, he easily discovered a group of people approaching from beyond the clouds.
The same time that Zhou Donghuang discovered them, a voice traveled in from a distance, ”Donghuang Sect Leader, Zhou Donghuang, I heard that you are the most powerful person on the Ziyun planet, so I have come to learn from you!”
When they finished speaking, the group of people had already broken through the clouds, and they were led by a middle-aged man dressed in a long, gray robe. The party appeared in the skies beside the Donghuang Peak.
”It is the new leader of the Xuesha Sect, and the two Golden Essence elders of the Xuesha Sect!”
Even from this distance, Freezing Wind was able to identify the three men standing behind the man in gray.
”Young Master, the man standing in front must be the one who killed Big Gold and Little Gold.”
Freezing Wind looked again at the man standing in front, his eyes filled with a murderous glint.
Whoosh!
The moment that the words left Freezing Wind's mouth, Zhou Donghuang took Yun Lu, who had fainted in his arms, up into the skies. Instantly, he appeared in front of the party from the Xuesha Sect led by the man in the gray robe.
The next instant, He Jin and Freezing Wind had both appeared behind Zhou Donghuang.
”Sect Leader.”
At the same time, Su Mo had also appeared with a gush of wind, dressed in his scholarly robes. Behind him, Zhou Han and Zhou Feng had also appeared.
Besides them, many other figures came flying in from all directions.
Among them were He Mengxi and Da Zhuang.
In fact, even Lin Lan, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei had all appeared.
In the last few years, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei have been staying at the Donghuang Sect, training hard in order to catch up with Zhou Donghuang.
Now, just like Lin Lan, they were both Primal Core adepts who could fly.
Within just ten breaths, a huge group of people had gathered behind Zhou Donghuang, all made up of the highest-ranking people in the Donghuang Sect.
”Greetings, Sect Leader.”
The group of them bowed in greeting to Zhou Donghuang, who was standing in front of them. Their tone was reverent.
At this time, people had gathered from everywhere. Any space that could be stood on was now filled with someone.
These people were all disciples of the Donghuang Sect.
”Is that the mysterious leader of the Donghuang Sect who nobody has ever seen before?”
The eyes of the Donghuang Sect disciples were locked on Zhou Donghuang's back, their gazes filled with excitement.
