Ting Chan didn't say another word. He wasn't sure what he was feeling.
All he knew was that the feeling he had was that of extreme unease.
Mr Lang wasn't an ordinary character. The revelation had just struck him. He had not noticed anything amiss when Mr Lang had spoken to the various sects, joined forces with Tianlian Sect and launched an attack on Qingshan Sect.
It wasn't because Mr Lang had concealed his presence extremely well then. It was because he had stopped concealing himself as much now.
Elder Ting Feng had no idea what was going on, but he could tell from the tone of Ting Chan's voice that this was serious. He dared not hesitate and immediately made arrangements to leave right away.
Evening crept upon them gradually.
Even though the skies were dark, Ting Chan insisted on leaving and journeying through the night.
He didn't care what the other sects did, but the sense of danger that remained on his mind unsettled him deeply.
"Are we ready?" asked Ting Chan.
"We're ready. A few of the injured have difficulty traveling. I've arranged for men to transport them in turns," said Elder Ting Feng. "Chief, must we leave tonight?"
"Let's go," Ting Chan said curtly and with a nod.
"Yes, sir." Elder Ting Feng passed the order down accordingly.
Buddha Sect were soon ready to leave the base.
The other sects stood in the distance, confused over Buddha Sect's hasty departure.
"I heard Ting Chan say that they have some matters to attend to and have to hurry back. I wonder what the emergency is."
"What other emergency could they have besides dealing with Qingshan Sect?"
"We should leave soon and restore our strength back in our sect. Two months later, we'll be back to level the grounds of Qingshan Sect!"
Luo Qi sat cross-legged in one of the tents at the base. In front of him was Mr Lang.
Mr Lang's eyes remained as unfathomable as the depths of an abyss, one that you would find nearly impossible to get out of once you fell in.
There was a slight pallor to Luo Qi's complexion. His eyes looked lifeless, as if his soul had been sucked out of him.
"What are your orders, Mr Lang?" droned Luo Qi.
"I need you to do something for me."
Mr Lang's voice sounded hypnotic, like something that had wormed into Luo Qi's ear and enveloped his brain in a spell that made it impossible for him to refuse
anything that Mr Lang wanted.
Luo Qi nodded mechanically.
