Chapter 613: The Sect’s Demon-Suppression Abyss
Li Guanqi remained oblivious to the storm his message had stirred within the Meng family and the Heavenly Intelligence Pavilion.
He turned to Lu Kangnian, his heart sinking. He needed to get to the Divine Treasure Territory and check on Xiao Chen. Of everyone involved, Xiao Chen was likely suffering the most. He was alone in the world, with enemies on all sides.
Li Guanqi turned to Lu Kangnian and said in a low voice, “Sect Master, is there anything else?”
Ye Feng thought it might be something he shouldn’t hear and stood up to leave.
Lu Kangnian stopped him. “What’s with that look? You think I don’t want you to hear?” You two talk like your mouths are on fire, rattling nonstop. When was I ever given a chance to speak?”
Ye Feng realized he’d overthought it. He scratched his head awkwardly and sat back down.
Lu Kangnian straightened, his expression growing solemn. He looked at his two finest disciples, gathered his thoughts, and said, “You two should have noticed by now. The foundation of our Daxia Sword Sect is far deeper than anyone imagines.”
Li Guanqi and Ye Feng shared a knowing look. Since breaking through to the Illusory Refinement Realm, they had faintly sensed that the sect’s three thousand peaks and eight hundred rivers were far from ordinary. The seemingly haphazard layout of mountains and rivers held a profound, hidden rhythm, subtly resonating with an immense formation. However, even they couldn’t perceive what lay beneath.
Lu Kangnian took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming. “I won’t tell you more for now. After all, neither of you intends to take over the sect.”
