Chapter 231: Turbulent Nine Dragons (10)
As the large-framed elder and the Grandmaster of the Taiqing Sect appeared, the warriors of both the Huilong Sect and the Mùlóng Sect rose simultaneously.
“Disciples of the Black Dragon Sect pay their respects to the Grand Master!”
“The disciples of the Hui Long Hall…”
They paid their respects as the venerable patriarch of the sect, revered like heaven itself, appeared.
Meanwhile, the three from the White Dragon Sect, including the Heavenly Sword Bai Shangzhi, couldn’t hide their shock.
“Could it be…?”
In that instant, thinking that whatever it was must be there, he quickly sent a telepathic message to the Immortal of the Azure Sea.
[What has happened?]
[The Heavenly Sword has trapped the recluses who refused to obey his commands.]
[What? Is that even possible?]
[They were fed a colorless, odorless poison. Had I arrived even a moment later, the hermits would have all passed away.]
[……!]
A colorless, odorless poison—there aren’t many places to obtain it, and it’s not easy to acquire.
That means the attack on the Hermit Forest was a meticulously planned crime.
It means those bastards have joined forces with another faction.
‘They’re insane.’
To involve other factions in selecting the lord of Kuryongseong? That was tantamount to treason.
But that wasn’t all.
Pluurr! Kwoong.
An old man in a blue robe fell from the sky.
As he swung the sword in his hand, nine unconscious children slowly drifted down from the sky.
