Chapter 790: Wen Yuan's Past (I)
"Lu Cang..."
Inside the Boundless Palace, Venerable Wen Yuan gazed at the projection of the familiar but blurry-faced figure and let out a long sigh filled with disappointment and frustration.
Fortunately, Mount Shu's Four Guardian Elders had all gone to Silver Sword Peak to see the iron-eating beast. They were there just in time to see the projection of the mysterious person that had attacked the High God's Legacy.
The younger generations did not recognize the person in question, but the Mount Shu Sect's elders recognized him at a glance.
It had been one hundred and fifty years since Lu Cang's disappearance and Wen Yuan's rise to the position of sect leader. If the cultivators of that generation had not deliberately preserved their appearances, they would all look very old now.
Yet, Lu Cang still had the face of a middle-aged man, totally unchanged from when he left Mount Shu all those years ago. The expression of unbridled arrogance and determination he once wore was gone, replaced by an icy, apathetic expression.
"There's no doubt that the one who broke into the Jiuli Hidden Realm was Lu Cang." The Weapons Master looked at Venerable Wen Yuan. He wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he just let out a sigh. "Haaaaa..."
Tan Qingfeng, Di Nufeng, and Chu Liang stood in the room, observing the complex expressions of the Mount Shu Sect's high-ranking members.
They couldn't help but wonder, Does this intruder have some connection to Mount Shu? Could there be some kind of conspiracy behind this?
Before they could figure it out, the Discipline Master turned and said, "Tan Qingfeng, we have some internal sect matters to discuss. Could you please step out for now? Rest assured, Mount Shu has no designs on the Jiuli Hidden Realm. We can discuss the specifics of our cooperation later."
Tan Qingfeng glanced at her and then at Venerable Wen Yuan. Sensing that something major was about to unfold, he nodded and replied, "All right."
