Chapter 521 - 516: Unexpected Gains
After the selection process for the Deputy Sect Master was suspended, Ye Xuan, Fei Yue, and the others left the plaza and returned to the Spirit Frost Pavilion.
As the selection had not yet concluded, there was much speculation within the Sect about the direction it might take. Everyone was guessing the reason, but no matter who it was, they could not ascertain why the process was being delayed until tomorrow.
"Ye Xuan, during the time you were away, you didn’t really barge into the back hall, did you?"
Back at the Spirit Frost Pavilion, Ouyang Tie finally thought of the previous events and turned to Ye Xuan to ask.
"Why do you say barge? I went in openly and aboveboard. I went to check on the Sect Master’s condition, and indeed, it’s not looking good."
Ye Xuan had no intention of hiding anything, he leaned against a big tree in the courtyard and spoke lazily.
"Oh? You saw the Sect Master? What exactly happened?"
Hearing this, Xue Lingzi and Fei Yue were also slightly surprised. They had only heard that the latter was seriously injured; now, even Xue Lingzi could not see Qin Tian and did not know his current state.
"I’m not clear on the specifics, but Sect Master Qin was afflicted by a powerful curse mark. If the curse mark cannot be resolved, I’m afraid not even the greatest deity could save him. Fortunately, the curse mark has been partially removed today, and there’s a chance Sect Master Qin might recover in three days."
