Chapter 1458 - Traitor
Even Xu Lingxue and the others had no idea what Liu Wuxie truly planned. They only focused on their assigned tasks. Lan Yu immersed himself in refining array runes, Hu Shi concentrated on blacksmithing runes, and Song Ling devoted himself to talisman runes.
With their manpower still limited, they had no choice but to shoulder the bulk of the workload themselves.
As for the newly recruited disciples, they still fumbled through the basics, and even the most talented among them would need at least six months before they became useful.
Luo Hai took charge of all affairs in Mount Dragon City and received hundreds of visitors in a single day. Mu Tianli handled every negotiation, while Luo Hai, now at the fourth-level Earth Immortal Realm, mainly served as a deterrent to keep troublemakers at bay.
When it came to judgement and finesse, he still couldn't compare to Mu Tianli.
The Heavenly Dao Society's headquarters had the Universal Gourd sitting at its core, so security was hardly a concern. With the Heavenly Dragon Sect so close by, no force dared casually stir up trouble there.
That night, Liu Wuxie left the Heavenly Dao Society alone. Instead of returning to the Heavenly Dragon Sect, he stepped into Mount Dragon City and vanished within the teleportation array.
A day later, he appeared alone at the gates of the Nine Dragon Palace. His decision to come by himself was nothing short of audacious, bordering on reckless.
If the Nine Dragon Palace chose to turn hostile, he would never walk out of this place alive.
When news of Liu Wuxie's visit arrived, the Nine Dragon Palace's palace lord personally came out to greet him. The two were not strangers; they had already met during the apprenticeship ceremony.
Inside the audience hall, many elders had gathered alongside the palace lord, and Liu Wuxie's feats in Nightmare City had long spread across the world.
However, not every elder had seen Liu Wuxie in person, and they now studied him with open curiosity, wondering whether this unassuming young man truly possessed the power the rumors claimed.
