Chapter 2446: Hearsay
“Mm hmm.” Feng Ye nodded.
“It is not suitable for you two little kids to go there because it is chaotic recently. Didn’t you say that you have relatives in Hundred Rivers City? Why don’t I send you to Hundred Rivers City!”
“No, no.” Feng Ye waved his little hand. “We’ll go by ourselves. Moreover, we don’t intend to take the main road or come near it. We’ll just look at it from a distance, so there won’t be a danger.”
Since Feng Ye insisted on going to the Nebula Immortal Sect, Xu Yan was silent for a while and then said, “In that case, I’ll send you there!”
Feng Ye blinked. “But…”
“Since we’ve accepted the task, we have to finish it. Even if you change the place, we will get you there safely.” Xu Yan did not give him a chance to speak. He stood up and turned to his brothers behind him.
All the mercenaries nodded in agreement. It did not seem right to let the boys go to the Nebula Immortal Sect’s boundary by themselves, especially when they had taken such a generous commission from him.
Seeing this, Feng Ye said nothing. Having the mercenaries to protect them would be much better than going alone, but he was worried that the Thunderfire Mercenary Group’s men would be killed if they encountered devilry cultivators again.
“I know there is a shortcut to the Nebula Immortal Sect’s boundary. Let’s rest here tonight and start early tomorrow morning!” Xu Yan told Feng Ye.
“Yes.” Feng Ye nodded. “Then, please collect your commission fees first!”
Xu Yan didn’t refuse and took the commission fees.
That day, they first replenished the dry foods and then had the men buy some medicine to treat knife wounds and so on for safeguard. After a night’s rest at the inn, the party set off at dawn.
Meanwhile, dressed in an undistinguished azure robe, Feng Jiu arrived at the boundary of Nebula Immortal Sect. Instead of using the teleportation device directly to the Nebula Immortal Sect’s gate, she first walked around this area and laid some boundaries and arrays.
When she was resting in a tree to enjoy the cool, she heard some voices faintly.
“How strange, Our Nebula Immortal Sect doesn’t have these many arrays and boundaries! Why did we encounter quite a few formation arrays after coming out with Senior Uncle this time? If Senior Uncle wasn’t watching, I’m afraid we’d all be trapped in the array. I have no idea who laid them. Those arrays are not easy to break.”
“I heard Master said that many people have been sent out to patrol around the area for precaution and deterrence. However, other than encountering these arrays and boundaries, we haven’t seen anyone from the Demon Clan these days.”
“Is it possible that the news is wrong? Could the Demon Clan not pick our Nebula Immortal Sect to attack?”
“Impossible, this source of information can’t be wrong. Allegedly, it’s the news given to us by Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu of the Hundred River City’s Heavenly Pill Tower. It can’t be wrong.”
“Speaking of this Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu, I heard that she is the Phoenix Star in Old Man Tianji’s prophecy. It is said that if there is a war with the Demon Clan, only with the assistance of Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu will we have the strength to battle with the Demon Clan.”
“But I hear that she’s a woman. No matter how strong a woman is, isn’t it impossible for her to defeat the Demon Lord alone? The Demon Lord, who has not been out of the clan for over a hundred years, now appears. It’s been said that there will be bloodbath and massacre all over the continent..”
