Chapter 481 - 460: Second Update
The Marquis of Zhenbei had just stepped through the main gate when he was startled by the two people trapped in the Formation, staring intently at those within. These two people, his men reported, were the ones who had breached Qiandao Temple’s camp. Could it be that they were trapped upon entering the camp?
Was this a suicidal mission?
What were his men watching, not making a single move?
"Fear not, my lord. These two are trapped in the Formation, they cannot get out nor harm us," Master Qin Liang immediately said considerately. He wasn’t a disciple of Qiandao Temple, so naturally, he had to make good relations with the Marquis.
The Marquis of Zhenbei glanced at Master Qin Liang. Although the mage didn’t seem very high-ranking, he was approachable—not like those others who looked down their noses at people.
"Mage, is this the purpose of your mission?" the Marquis asked in a very curious tone, sneaking another look at the people in the Formation. They weren’t dead yet? Was there no intention to let these people die? Then, did they catch that important person he was guessing about?
Seeing this, Master Qin Liang glanced around, seeing that the other mages were preoccupied with their own tasks, too busy to pay attention to the Marquis of Zhenbei and his men, all of them absorbed in studying how to understand the Spells.
"No, these two are merely underlings," said Master Qin Liang. They had admitted it themselves, and indeed, their capabilities were limited. Master Ling Yi had not made progress overnight, but at least he had confirmed that this type of Spell was greatly related to the cultivator itself—it was a type that grew stronger with more powerful adversaries.
This kind of Spell usually belonged to some ancient techniques, domineering but not refined. After many years of improvement and continuous trials by cultivators, modern Spells have become much more useful and safer.
"Oh, I see," the Marquis did not inquire further, fearing that further questions might arouse suspicion. Yet, he was also relieved that they were not capturing any significant figure, meaning there was room for maneuver.
Still, according to his men’s reports, these two had delivered themselves right to their door. What for?
