Chapter 251 - 124: Survived _2
Long Kongkong seemed a bit baffled as he said, "I don’t know either! I didn’t do anything! Speaking of which, teacher, haven’t we been on high alert all this time? Why then did a high-level wraith manage to enter our world?"
Hai Jifeng said solemnly from the side, "High-level wraiths are difficult to distinguish because they look so similar to humans, and if they deliberately suppress their own wraith aura, it’s even harder to tell. So naturally, they might sneak in undetected. It’s hard to guard against. You think the demon hunting team of the Sanctuary is here just for show? A big part of their mission is to combat these wraith entities that infiltrate secretly. You were lucky this time around, but you must be more careful in the future. You’re probably already targeted."
Long Kongkong gave a wry laugh and said, "Escaping death in a great disaster only means good fortune afterwards. Who knows, next time around, I might capture her." Upon saying this, a glint flickered in his eyes. Did he truly not know how his identity was exposed? No, he did know. He just didn’t want to admit it. He had used his reserve Sacred Legate identity once before when he was buying a necklace for the goddess. But admitting it would undoubtedly earn him a scolding!
Na Ye said to Hai Jifeng, "Considering that even the Holy City has been infiltrated and the identity of a reserve Sacred Legate has been exposed, the Sacred Legate has to take some action. We should report today’s incident together."
Hai Jifeng nodded and said gravely, "Things are becoming less and less peaceful. We can only hope that the number of high-level wraiths is not too high. Otherwise, we would be in serious trouble. Today’s wraith was a 7th Rank wraith, stronger than an average 7th Rank professionist. It was probably distracted by maintaining the aura isolation barrier, or else Kongkong may not have survived until we arrived."
Hai Jifeng and Na Ye personally escorted Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong back to the Spirit Furnace Academy, then returned to the Sanctuary to report the incident. Zi Tianwu had not yet returned from the chase.
Back at the dormitory, Ling Menglu had only just returned. The contest at the Priests Temple had taken a very long time, and she had been one of the last ones to participate. The outcome, though, was never in doubt.
"What? Kongkong was attacked?" Upon hearing Long Dangdang recount Long Kongkong’s experience, Ling Menglu was greatly surprised.
"Wait for me after tomorrow’s match ends, and let’s head back together. Let’s avoid going solo for a while," Ling Menglu suggested cautiously.
