Gath did not answer right away. He scanned his surroundings to make sure that there was no one around before he approached White Horse.
When he was closer, Gath lowered his voice and whispered, "Sect Master, I think I saw Sect Master Chester just now!"
What?
White Horse was shocked. He jumped in his seat and almost spat out the tea in his mouth.
'Chester? Isn't he dead? I watched him fall into the abyss with my own eyes. How could he possibly be alive?'
White Horse tried to calm down and said coldly, "Gath, are you sure?"
Gath replied hurriedly, "I dare not lie to you, Sect Master. It was Chester, and it seemed that he's heading toward the South Cloud World!"
Then, Gath told White Horse in detail about how he had met Chester.
After listening to the story, White Horse sat on his seat, unperturbed.
Finally, a few minutes later, White Horse said, "Go and get ready right away. Since Chester is not dead, then we shall prepare a big welcome gift for him!"
White Horse wore a wide grin on his face, but his eyes flashed with a gloomy chill.
"Yes, Sect Master!" Gath responded quickly before he went off to make the preparations.
…
Meanwhile, somewhere on the mountain path a few kilometers away from the town...
It was night, and the winding mountain road was quiet. A lonely person moved forward slowly in the nearby distance.
The person was in a black robe. His complexion was a little pale, but he was exuding a refined aura, nonetheless.
It was Chester.
He had left Donoghue the previous day to cultivate by himself in the valley. He wanted to look for Darryl once he was fully recovered. While he was on his way, he saw many sects rushing toward the South Cloud World.
