Chapter 1966: Chapter 1966: The News Is Really Well-Informed
Leaving other things aside, just the mere touch of the Evil Spirit Universe on the Huayan Peak could greatly increase its strength. Naturally, he would not give it such an opportunity.
“Have you all rested enough? We’re setting out now, heading for the Eternal Night Sect,” he said to everyone.
Baili Yin and the others: “…”
Had they even rested? Weren’t they constantly on guard against the attacks of the shadows?
Well, just sitting on the back of a triceratops didn’t really require much effort, so it could be considered a rest.
“Young Sect Master, we’re setting off. At the triceratops’ speed, we should reach the Eternal Night Sect after half a day’s travel,” he said to Leng Nicen.
...“Good.”
Leng Nicen responded.
He truly wasn’t interested in the Eternal Night Sect, but if he could meet Sect Master Leng, he would like to ask whether Sect Master Leng wanted him alive or dead.
Or rather, in the eyes of Sect Master Leng, what kind of existence were these disciples brought by the Great Elder? Were they so dispensable that they could be killed on a whim?
So many people had died; could the Sect Master of the Eternal Night Sect really remain so indifferent?
…
Outside the Lanqian Mountain Range, Eternal Night Sect.
The numerous pathways, like a labyrinth, left one clueless as to which led to the Eternal Night Sect.
However, this was normal for the Eternal Night Plane. Other cities and Sects also had this same situation, with every road intertwining, indecipherable to those who didn’t know their way in.
Qian Jiyun and two others followed Baili Yin and his group into the mountain belly, walking for a long time before they saw light.
Within the brightly lit cave, what they saw was a vast hollow space, unimaginable how such a cavity had been carved out of the mountain.
“Great Elder, you’ve returned. Is this, by any chance, the Second Young Master?”
Lady Leng had received the news early on and immediately had the nanny urge Leng Yiyu to bring gifts and wait for them. Upon seeing Baili Yin bringing Leng Nicen, even if she was unwilling, she had no choice but to put on a smile and come forward to greet them.
“Young Miss, what are you doing here?”
Seeing Leng Yiyu, Baili Yin wasn’t surprised at all. It would be abnormal for Lady Leng not to have the Young Miss come over to establish her presence.
And since Leng Yiyu always heeded her mother’s words, even if she were reluctant, she would still come.
“You knew we were coming back today? The lady’s connections are indeed impressive,” he remarked.
“Not at all.”
Leng Yiyu didn’t catch the implication in Baili Yin’s words, but a young girl by her side stepped forward.
“Great Elder, you misunderstand. How could the lady be aware of these matters? She has been at the nunnery recently and has not stepped out. The Young Miss learned you were going to fetch the Second Young Master, so she has been waiting here for your return,” she said.
She cast a glance toward Leng Nicen standing beside Baili Yin, a thick smile on her face.
This must be the Second Young Master, right? He indeed bears a strong resemblance to the Sect Master, even more so than the Young Sect Master does.
What a pity that such a charming young master must obstruct the lady and Young Miss’s path. If he doesn’t die, then who will?
“Great Elder, look, the Young Miss knew that the Second Young Master was returning and even prepared gifts for him,” she said.
As she spoke, she summoned a disciple behind her. The disciple lifted the red cloth covering the tray, revealing the treasure inside—a luminous pearl the size of a fist.
