Chapter 1442: Fighting A Sage
“There’s a third Sage hiding in the City of No Return?” Fang Qionghua’s brow furrowed slightly. “Do you know who they are?”
“No. However, I am certain that they are related to Xuan Youxuan in some ways.”
Wu Shengshui shook his head wryly. “I’m sure that the Sage intentionally allowed me to sense their presence. There is no way I could have detected them otherwise.”
“The reason why they did this is clear. They are warning us not to stray from our goals.”
What were they going to do just now? They were going to kill Xuan Youxuan and plunder the riches of the City of No Return, of course.
Therefore, this Sage was very likely the mastermind behind Xuan Youxuan.
“I see!”
Wei Duanliu exclaimed in realization, “It looks like Xuan Youxuan’s background is bigger than we thought.”
“That makes sense. Without a Sage to back him up, there is no way he could have transformed the City of No Return into the Profound Alliance’s biggest money squandering establishment in just a matter of decades.”
“I wonder who’s the Sage behind him?”
Wu Shengshui sighed. “That is not something we are qualified to fathom. All we need to do is to report back to the island lord.”
They might be Half-Sages holding lofty positions, but they were well aware that they were just moths—barely bigger than ants—in the eyes of a Sage.
