Yang Zhai returned to his tent. It was already past midnight. He saw that Si Yu was already sleeping on one side of the tent. Yang Zhai was also tired from today's journey. He had to travel tomorrow again: so, he went back to sleep. He was not worried about him being attacked. The Bai clan knew that Yang Zhai was their strongest participant and Ai Hao was a healing cultivator: so, they couldn't lose him. He was sure that there were definitely one or two people outside the tent, protecting him. Especially after today's event. And the third elder also needed him for his plan, therefore, his safety was certain. ….. The next day, Four elders including Yu Ene, Yu Ane, Zihao De, and Ren Fang stood together. With them were five disciples of the Bai clan. Si Yu was also with them. They were getting ready to travel back to the Bai clan. "So, is he coming with us as well?" Si Kim asked Yang Zhai whilst looking at Si Yu. "Yes," "But, he is not from the Bai clan." "So what?" "Accordin

Everyone had returned back to the Ma clan. Si Yu went back to the rented house and Yang Zhai went back to his house. On the other hand, the third elder was investigating the man caught by elder Yu Ene. "Tell me already, and you can be free from the torture." The third elder was torturing the man to reveal the reason for attacking them. He was hoping that the man would say the name of the Ma clan. "I told…you already. Someone from the Bai clan hired me. That man hid his face. Also, my target was Feng Qi, not someone else." The man was being tortured by the third elder again and again. The third elder would heal the man and torture him again."If Feng Qi was targeted, then what's the reason? Tell me, or, you will not die easily.""I, I don't don't…know the…reason. I was just hired and that's all. Otherwise, why would I… value the life of someone…over myself?"He is not saying anything else besides this, there can only be two reasons: first, he is telling the truth and second is that

"Who are you?" Yang Zhai asked the three people. Even though he knew them, he couldn't tell them this, after all, it was their first meeting in this life. "I am the seventh elder Jil Lu and the one to my right is the eighth elder Nain Kii. The one healing you has just become an elder a few weeks ago, Eun Woo. We were passing by when we saw her attacking you. She deserves death for betrayal." The man was the seventh elder of the Bai clan, Jil Lu. Yeah, just passing by."Oh, greetings elders." Yang Zhai greeted them respectfully. "Hmm, if there's nothing else, I will be going then." Jil Lu wanted to turn around and leave when he heard Yang Zhai. "Elder, if you allow me, can I ask who killed Ci An?" 

Night Owl, known to have the ability to see beyond skies, below the earth, into the depths of the abyss and the oceans. However, they were all myths and legends. It was said that to possess these qualities, Night Owl had to evolve into its highest forms. These legends were not known by many. Yang Zhai knew this because he had spent many years traveling the world. If the shopkeeper knew about this, then, she wouldn't be selling the Night Owl for only one hundred and fifty mid-grade essence stones. Of course, the price was this high because the Night Owl was not found on Si mountain or in its surroundings. But, if she knew about these legends, then the price would have been even higher. The shopkeeper brought the Night Owl with her and placed it on the counter. It was totally black. Its eyes were yellow with red lines at the end of its irises. It looked at Yang Zhai silently and did not look away, it was as if it was trying to look through Yang Zhai. It had red stripes at the end of

"Yang Zhai, tell me, have you ever met elder Jil Lu before last night?" Eun Woo asked Yang Zhai.Both of them were standing outside elder Cu Gil's residence. "No, why?" Yang Zhai said and thought: So, she is already suspecting me."I thought you hated elder Jil Lu. Forget it, what happened happened, and nothing can be done now. Let's go back to your house." Eun Woo shook her head. It is true that elder Cu Gil's daughter was killed by elder Jil Lu. So, even if Yang Zhai mistakenly or deliberately revealed everything, he didn't lie. And I was also not happy with lying to elder Cu Gil about her daughter to begin with. In a way, a father knows the real reason for his daughter's death: Eun Woo shook her head and thought. Last Updated : 2023-01-16
