Chapter 423: The Truth Has Come to Light: It Was Qiu Shan
“Okay. I’ll go in right away,” replied Yun Jiuge. She sensed the anxiety coming from Zi Shang and immediately climbed over the wall to make her way towards the house.
“Hey! Wait for me!” said Leng Bai. He had intended to enter the place from the main gate, but was forced to follow suit after seeing Yun Jiuge climbed over the wall.
The area surrounding the house was dark and they could barely make out what looked to be a servant working soundlessly in the distance. The life energy that was exuded from his body was so weak that he almost seemed like a living corpse.
“Where’s the Grand Preceptor’s room?” Yun Jiuge asked Leng Bai in a low voice.
“His room is located near the garden in the west. I’ll take you there,” said Leng Bai. He walked down a long corridor and headed towards the most remote corner of the house.
The deeper into the house they ventured, the darker the place became. There was hardly any light anywhere even though the sun should be at its brightest then.
If the people moving about at the outer regions of the house were called ‘living corpses’, then the people moving about in the inner regions should be called the ‘walking dead’.
Leng Bai was taken aback when he saw the ‘walking dead’ before him, and he immediately attempted to strike them down.
“Leave them be. Finding the Grand Preceptor is our top priority right now,” said Yun Jiuge as she stopped him.
