Jiang Ning had not met someone so terrifying like this before. The world within the mountain was more complicated than he had imagined.
He still had to piece together the map behind the Extreme Fist Technique Manual. Jiang Ning had planned on looking into that matter after he had saved Lin Yuzhen. But trouble had come looking for him first.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
He wasn't sure if the answer to the Extreme Fist Technique Manual lay within or beyond the mountain. If it were the former, things would become quite complicated.
He shut his eyes again and attempted to recall what Mr Lang looked like but somehow, he simply couldn't...
Meanwhile.
The leaders of the six major sects and their elders were still at their base that was located at the bottom of the mountain.
They had remained in their seats after Jiang Ning had left and had not departed immediately.
"Can he really resolve the problem of the gray fog within two months?" The look on Luo Qi's face was filled with disbelief. "I think you were too rash when you chose to believe his ridiculous lie!" The other sect leaders did not say anything.
Everyone knew that what Jiang Ning had promised was an impossible feat. At least, they didn't think that he had a high chance of succeeding. If it were that easy, numerous sects would not have vanished in the fog.
But Ting Chan had said that he wanted to give Jiang Ning a chance and that they wouldn't lose out on anything if they did. Everyone had agreed with him without protest.
No one wanted their own to perish and to suffer needless destruction and damage in a fight.
In addition, Jiang Ning was a man who was shrouded in mystery and whose strength left them almost powerless against him. Even an elder wasn't his match. What could they do to him? Were they supposed to let Jiang Ning kill all their elders?
"It doesn't matter if he can't find a solution within two months. Two months will give us sufficient time to recuperate and regain our strength. We'll be able to take Qingshan Sect in one fell swoop and kill Jiang Ning in the fight."
Everyone had their own contingency plans. No one was going to let a mere stranger dictate their destiny.
Having said that, Li Xuan decided not to waste any more time. He got up and prepared to lead his people away.
The other sect leaders shared his thoughts. They were simply giving themselves a breather. No one truly believed a word that Jiang Ning had said.
There might be the slightest chance that he could succeed. He had defied all expectations since he had appeared, after all.
"Mr Lang, do you think we should
give him a chance?" Luo Qi said with
a slight hint of displeasure. He turned and eyed Mr Lang, who had not spoken a single word throughout the meeting.
"We could," said Mr Lang with a smile. "Jiang Ning seems to be quite a mystery. Perhaps he does have a way to deal with our problem." Having heard those words from Mr Lang, Luo Qi decided not to comment further and instead, nodded slightly.
"Fellow comrades, Buddha Sect will make a move first. Farewell."
Ting Chan glanced at Mr Lang, then looked at the rest of the sects before clasping his palms together reverently and leaving.
Everyone had left. Luo Qi rose to his feet. "Mr Lang, let's go as well."
Mr Lang nodded as his eyes landed on Ting Chan's back. For a brief second, the look in his eyes turned icy and razor sharp.
In the distance, Ting Chan felt a chill
on his back. He wanted to turn
bund and take a look but stopped
himself from doing that at the last moment.
He didn't say anything, merely quickening his footsteps as he turned to Elder Ting Feng.
"Lead our disciples back to Buddha Sect.
Make sure that our defenses are impenetrable, do you understand me?"
"Chief Ting, is something wrong?" the elder asked anxiously as alarm rose in his heart.
"Ting Feng, if I die, you'll be in charge of everything in Buddha Sect. Remember, beware of Mr Lang. Don't look into his eyes!" Elder Ting Feng's heart sank.
Was the situation truly that dire?
"Leave now!"
Ting Chan did not explain further.
couldn't. Everyone had been
influenced by Mr Lang's words.ne
too, bad felt a moment when his mind had been affected.
If he had not exerted tremendous control over himself, he would have fallen under the man's influence too.
What a terrifying man!
