Since Mr Lang knew all that, then his motives were possibly connected to the Extreme Fist Technique Manual. Perhaps it was more accurate to say that it was connected to the map on the manual. Mr Lang definitely knew something about the legend behind this manual.
Jiang Ning looked at Liu Chuandao and Liu Chuandao reached the same conclusion.
He didn't say anything and just nodded slightly.
"Let's go back first. At the very least, we've solved the mystery of the gray fog, so everyone doesn't have to be so scared anymore."
Without this deadly threat, the sects could breathe a sigh of relief and not become so desperate. As for the terrifying Mr Lang, it would take more time to figure out exactly what he was trying to do. Jiang Ning brought the other two men along with him back to Qingshan Sect.
All the other sects were waiting for them.
Everyone had gathered within the main hall to discuss what they ought to do next. Nobody dared to take this matter too lightly, especially since they knew nothing about that Mr Lang.
The less they knew about this matter and that man, the more terrifying it was.
This was especially after they had experienced how Mr Lang had managed to manipulate all the people within the mountain.
Li Xuan and the rest had somber looks on their faces.
"Everyone is in position according to our plans. If there are any changes, we'll need everyone to think on their feet," he said.
Alright. Everyone, keep in contact. Once there's any movement anywhere, we must all know immediately so that we can adjust ourselves accordingly."
They looked like they were going to war.
Everyone was on standby and didn't dare to let their guard down at all. Everyone had to remain on their toes at all times.
"I wonder how are things over at Jiang Ning's side." Geng Jianba was rather worried.
He was afraid that the fog was really dangerous. If that was really the case, then the three of them would probably never return.
"Tsk, that young fellow is so arrogant and audacious. Does he really think he's invincible?" scoffed Yun Zhongke as he expressed his displeasure. Now that Jiang Ning wasn't around, he dared to grumble. "Everyone knows how frightening that gray matter is. How could it be merely a cover?"Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Luo Long glanced at him. "I think you should shut up."
"You..."
"I said, shut up," said Luo Long. "If not for him, all of you would still be stuck inside the prison of Tianlian Sect and you
wouldn't see the light of day at all."
Yun Zhongke was so angry that he nearly stood up, but Luo Long had already walked off.
He had to admit that Jiang Ning was truly impressive, and had completely surpassed his expectations. Without Jiang Ning, Tianlian Sect would have been destroyed by now.
All the other sect leaders were well aware of this. Yun Zhongke was grumbling away, but he knew this well too. "Alright now, stop arguing. I believe in Jiang Ning," said Li Xuan. "We can only place our trust in Jiang Ning now."
Just after he said that, a voice called out from outside.
"Elder Ting Feng and the rest are back!"
Everyone immediately stood up and walked out.
The three of them were back and were
completely unscathed.
Jiang Ning was leading the way and looked exactly the same as when he left. He didn't look hurt at all.
"How is it? What's that fog about?" asked Li Xuan anxiously.
"It's just a screen," replied Ting Feng. "It's not harmful to humans at all, and it certainly won't kill anybody."
Yun Zhongke's face reddened. He

arrogant for his own good and bad walked into his own grave. But now the tables had clearly turned on him.
"All of this was created by Mr Lang. He's hidden something deep in the northern region and doesn't want anybody to know about it, so he used the fog as a cover to prevent others from coming close.
Liu Chuandao nodded. "We've already confirmed this." "Humph. I knew it," scoffed Luo Long before giving Yun Zhongke the side eye.
He wasn't going to give up any opportunity to mock Yun Zhongke.
Yun Zhongke didn't say anything. What could he possibly say now?
"What about Mr Lang?" asked Li Xuan.
"He's escaped," sighed Jiang Ning. "I'm afraid we're in bigger trouble in the future."
