Chapter 239: Clouds of Suspicion! The Fair-Skinned, Beautiful Young Lady! Haunting!
Sure enough, Li Yanchu’s attention was caught.
Meng Hai went on, “The Shaman Sect has great influence beyond the Pass, but it’s shrouded in mystery. No one knows the location of their main temple, though some have heard of the sect’s sorcerers. There’s Grand Magus Bantu, who likes to drink from human skulls and eat human hearts raw. And the old man Hak, who prefers to drink the fresh blood of virgins. This business could very well be the work of the Shaman Sect!”
Meng Hai’s face was full of worry.
Master Qi’s expression was also grim, as the Shaman Sect’s name alone was enough to conjure thoughts of cruelty and evil. If this really was their doing, caravans beyond the Pass might be facing total ruin.
Liu Lin spoke slowly, “The Shaman Sect is a major religion beyond the Pass, revered by many tribes. They shouldn’t have any reason to go on such a mad killing spree.”
Meng Hai asked, “Mr. Liu, are you saying this has nothing to do with them?”
In response, Liu Lin shook his head. “It’s too early to draw conclusions. Even if it does involve them, there must be some hidden reason behind it, and that would be the real root of the trouble.”
Meng Hai clearly trusted Liu Lin and asked, “Mr. Liu, what do you think we should do?”
Liu Lin smiled. “I’ve got no real skills. How could I be the one to give rash opinions on something this important?”
Hearing this, Master Qi said, “Don’t be so modest, Mr. Liu. Everyone knows you’re sharper than a beast when it comes to sensing danger. Tell us what you think.”
Then, Meng Hai added: “That’s right. Everyone here is one of our own.”
Liu Lin said slowly, “The way I see it, someone’s looking for something.”
