Dax scratched his head and kept his silence.
Chester summoned a disciple of the Eternal Life Palace Sect by his side and ordered, “Go to the headquarters of the Five Poison Sect and check if there’s anything out of the ordinary. Remember to stay hidden!”
“Yes, Master!” answered the disciple as he sprinted towards the Five Poison Sect under the disguise of the night.
Everybody could feel their anxiety rising as they watched the disciple sprint out into the night. They felt as if something bad was about to happen.
Half an hour later, the disciple was back, he was panting and sweating profusely, “Master…”
“So? What did you see?” asked Chester.
At the same time, the gaze of everybody on the hill fell on the disciple, waiting for his observations.
He wiped some sweat from his brow and said, “Master, it’s good news! I saw Master Magaera
fighting the ancient poisonous centipede above the Five Poison Sect.”
“The whole Sect is under strict lockdown and I overheard somebody who said that Skyler was injured by Master Magaera.” said the disciple.
Everybody’s spirit was instantly lifted when they heard the good news.
Elder Fire and the disciples of the Hidden Hero Sect looked amongst themselves. Elder FIre could not help but ask, “And? Is there any news regarding our Sect Master?”
The disciple scratched his head and said, “No, there was too much lookout stationed at the Sect. I could not stay for long, before coming back to report.”
Elder FIre and the others immediately frowned, their hearts filled with worries for their Sect Master.
‘Does that mean that something ill has befallen on their Sect Master?’ all the disciples of the Hidden Hero Sect asked themselves the same question.
“Fret not!” assured Chester.
“Even if my disciple did not hear any news regarding Veron, doesn’t mean that something bad happened to her. She might just be stuck in the Five Poison Sect and could not get out in time to meet us,” assured Chester.
