Chapter 177 – Li Yuan Gazes North, Mother and Daughter Reunited in the Ghostly Realm, an Envoy Dispatched to Northriver Prefecture - Part 3
After entrusting Fang Jianglong with the letter, Li Yuan departed from the Blood Blade Sect headquarters.
Yu Chaojin turned to Fang Jianlong. “Seems like the Patriarch is trying to shield your Fang Family so you don’t have worries at home. Even so, no one is better suited for this mission than you.”
He met Fang Jianlong’s eyes. “There’s danger in this...but also opportunity.”
Fang Jianlong lowered his gaze. “I won’t disappoint him, or you, Sect Master. I only request a few servants and disciples accompany me.”
“Of course,” Yu Chaojin agreed.
When Fang Jianlong departed, Yu Chaojin gazed off into the distance and sighed softly. “I wonder if Tie Sha has made contact with the Sacred Fire Palace in Northriver yet.”
A slender figure stepped out from the shadows behind him. It was Old Ding, the white-haired man who had once traveled with Tie Sha. He said nothing, merely echoing Yu Chaojin’s sigh.
Northriver was full of peril. Intelligence and decisiveness alone might not be enough to survive.
