Chapter 699: Spiritual Infant Cave Dwelling
"Daoist Fan was actually able to invite Daoist Qin? Looks like we have nothing to worry about on this trip."
The scholar-robed cultivator gave Qin Sang a friendly smile.
Qin Sang’s expression softened slightly. He cupped his hands and said, "You flatter me, Daoist. I still don’t know why Daoist Fan invited me here. I haven’t agreed to anything yet."
The short, stocky cultivator quickly added, "Daoist Qin, please come onto the island and wait a moment. Once the other Daoists arrive, I’ll explain everything clearly. As long as you agree to it, I will honor the terms I promised you without fail."
Qin Sang gave it some thought, then flew over on his sword. His eyes gleamed as he carefully scanned the island. Confirming there was nothing amiss, he landed on a reef, keeping some distance between them.
The scholar-robed cultivator exchanged a few pleasantries with Qin Sang, but seeing that he remained aloof, he tactfully did not say more.
After a short wait, three more cultivators arrived in succession. All of them were people Qin Sang had seen at the market earlier.
Observing them coldly, Qin Sang noticed that each of these individuals was an elite among early Core Formation cultivators. All possessed notable strength, which made it clear that the stocky cultivator had something significant planned.
"Daoist Fan, you've gathered so many of us here. What exactly is this about? Can you tell us now?"
Night had fallen. Someone asked impatiently.
Daoist Fan chuckled apologetically. "Please be patient, Daoist Qian. There’s still one more Daoist who hasn’t arrived. He should be here any moment now. Once he’s here, I promise to explain everything fully."
As he was speaking, a streak of blue light flew toward them from a distance. Like the others, it stopped just outside the island, revealing the figure of a gaunt elderly cultivator.
