Why hadn't anyone from the six major sects suspected a thing when this man appeared out of nowhere? Liu Chuandao found that incredulous.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
He had realized almost immediately that Jiang Ning had come from the world beyond the mountain when Jiang Ning had first arrived at Qingshan Sect and that he wasn't one of them. If Qingshan Sect had not recognized Jiang Ning as an ally, the other sects would have had suspicions about Jiang Ning.
Why hadn't anyone suspected Mr Lang at all?
Jiang Ning frowned.
"Don't let your guard down. His origins are mysterious. If he came from the same place that I did, I would know him." After some thought, Jiang Ning added. "Since he didn't, we should find out exactly who he is."
Liu Chuandao and the Senior Elder exchanged a look. They knew that the
situation had become more complicated.
This wasn't a problem that only concerned the survival of Qingshan Sect anymore but a problem that concerned the major sects and everyone in the mountain.
Could one man cause such havoc and chaos in their world?
"What do you plan to do next? They must still suspect you. You did show them that you knew how to wield the Vajra Fist. You're the only one who has the opportunity to kill Ting Chan." The Senior Elder looked slightly concerned. "At the moment, you're still a suspect."
He didn't believe that Jiang Ning was the murderer. He had no reason to kill Ting Chan, nor would he do so.
They suspected that it was Mr Lang, but they had no evidence to prove that. In addition, no one from the six major sects suspected Mr Lang.
"Let's pay a visit to Buddha Sect," said Jiang Ning. "I believe that they know
something."
They had not approached Qingshan Sect and caused a scene. It was clear that Buddha Sect knew that Jiang Ning wasn't the murderer or they would have come looking for him.
"It'll be dangerous." Liu Chuandao shook his head. "The other sects are extremely hostile to you right now. There might be someone hiding out there, waiting to strike you down. I have a feeling that this is a setup meant for you all along."
"A setup meant for me?" Jiang Ning smiled. "That's even better. I'd be worried if it wasn't."
A streak of blinding light flashed across his eyes.
Liu Chuandao was momentarily dazed by the sight. He couldn't believe the well of confidence that Jiang Ning had in himself.
"I'll instruct a few elders to accompany you," said the Senior Elder. "They can watch your back."
"There's no need for that." Jiang
Ning shook his head. "The elders should be guarding Qingshan Sect. Defending the sect is our top priority. Liu Zong and Liu Heng can join me. Don't worry, we'll be fine."
He had arrived at his decision instantly.
Qingshan Sect was their top priority. Nothing could happen to the sect. It was the final barrier to the world beyond the mountain, where everyone whom Jiang Ning Cared about resided.
"Liu Zong, Liu Heng!" shouted Liu Chuandao.
The two brothers stepped forward immediately. "Father!"
"The both of you are to follow Jiang Ning to Buddha Sect and find out what's going on." "We understand!"
The brothers glanced at Jiang Ning. They had some idea of what they might be about to face. Regardless, they had stared death in the eye once and they were ready to do it again.
"Jiang Ning, your men..."
"They will remain at Qingshan Sect." Jiang Ning had spoken to Brother Gou earlier.
"Protecting the sect is of the utmost importance. If anything crops up, don't worry about my men when you're discussing how to handle it. They'll do their job." "Alright." Liu Chuandao and the Senior Elder nodded solemnly. "Be careful."
Jiang Ning didn't say anything. He simply led Liu Zong and Liu Heng away and headed for Buddha Sect.
As Liu Qing watched the three men walk away and disappear into the distance, she stopped hiding the worry that she was feeling and allowed it to show on her face.
