Chapter 76: Demon Spirit
Less than forty miles away from Lingxiao City, there was a small county town.
Inside an ordinary triple courtyard, Yang Kan’s face looked particularly grim.
He stared at the young disciple of the Gu family before him and said coldly, "Is this the arrangement Gu Jinlai made for me?"
"The Patriarch has already prepared enough food for you, Elder. There are two wells in the courtyard and some locals outside to divert attention. You just need to live quietly in the courtyard with your disciples, and no one will notice."
This Gu Family Disciple spoke.
"You seem to be deliberately mocking me."
Yang Kan slowly stood up. "There are fifty-three of us, twelve at the Peak of Hugging Pill and forty at Gang Condensation. Both Hugging Pill and Gang Condensation disciples, in our Purgatory Sect, belong to True Inheritance Level One. Even though they exceed the age limit for disciples, they are also stewards and protectors of our sect. Yet, Gu Jinlai’s arrangement is for eight of our sect’s stewards and protectors to cram into one room?"
"There have been changes in the situation in Lingxiao City. The Patriarch is presently occupied with urgent matters and cannot attend to this. Therefore... I hope Elder Yang can endure this inconvenience."
This Gu Family Disciple said, "Elder Yang’s presence here is intended as a surprise tactic, to prevent us from having to mobilize people from the sect to Baihe City and leave traces that might alert them. It’s not suitable to draw too much attention."
"The situation only changed because Gu Jinlai is not capable enough. Couldn’t he have just taken people and dealt with Su Tong and her group directly?"
