Chapter 320: The Azure Cloud Sect
The middle-aged man thought in silence for a moment, then looked at the blue-robed Daoist across from him and asked, "The Great Xuan palace and the Azure Cloud Temple have always left each other in peace. Why would they move against Elder Sister?"
At those words, the blue-robed Daoist said nothing for a moment, then let out a sigh, "The matter touches on a very important secret of the Azure Cloud Temple, and someone who left the temple as many years ago as you have would not normally have the standing to know it."
"However, since this secret has somehow been leaked and the Great Xuan palace has already learned of it, there is no harm in telling you now."
As he said this, the blue-robed Daoist looked at the middle-aged man and then asked, "Are you aware of a sect within Great Li called the Azure Cloud Sect?"
The middle-aged man gave a nod, "I know of it, naturally. The Azure Cloud Sect is in Wan Province within Great Li. As far as I know, there appears to be a significant connection between it and the Azure Cloud Temple in Great Xuan."
"That is correct."
The blue-robed Daoist picked up the wine jar and took a swig, "The Azure Cloud Sect was founded a hundred years ago by one of the temple's most senior elders who returned to his homeland. And in less than a hundred years, that elder developed the Azure Cloud Sect into a highly esteemed martial sect in Wan Province."
At those words, the middle-aged man's expression shifted, "Could this matter be related to the Azure Cloud Sect?"
The blue-robed Daoist gave a slight nod, then looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Before coming to find you, I had already made a trip to the Azure Cloud Sect and met with that founding elder."
