Chapter 1018: Unwelcome Visitor
"I felt like this was a very important matter, so I've kept it a secret from everyone else. Right now, Elder Lu and I are the only ones in our entire sect who know about this, and we haven't informed the cultivators staying in the other water abodes of this matter," the Comb Flow Sect Leader hurriedly replied.
"Good. In that case, I won't have to destroy the entire sect," Dongfang Bai mused with a contemplative nod.
The young man and the round-faced elderly man exchanged a bewildered glance with each other upon hearing this, wondering if they had misheard.
However, before they had a chance to ponder this remark any further, they suddenly discovered that they weren't able to move.
All they could still move were their eyeballs, and they looked down to discover that a layer of slick, green moss had appeared over their bodies, on top of which a vibrant flower was blooming.
The azure-robed young man let loose an agonized roar as the flower took on a bright red color, and droplets of dew had even appeared on its surface, giving it a particularly alluring appearance.
In contrast, the two men were completely parched, and it was as if all of the life force had been sucked out of their bodies, reducing them to a pair of dried and withered corpses in just a few seconds.
Dongfang Bai took an expressionless glance at the two sets of withered remains, then asked, "Is his aura still here, Elder Lü?"
"It is," Lü Yun replied.
"Good," Dongfang Bai replied with a nod.
Meanwhile, Tao Ji was looking at the Three River Lake with a hesitant look on his face, and for some reason, he was feeling a little uneasy.
Dongfang Bai could see the uncertainty in his eyes, and he said, "Tao Ji, if you have something to say, then spit it out."
