"Damn... no way, you found him?"
Facing Real Person Qing Song, Lu Zheng unusually swallowed the second character of his first word.
"So soon?" Lu Zheng was deeply astonished.
It had only been a little over two months since he had gone to White Cloud Mountain to report the situation. He had thought that even if they found the Profound Devil Master, it would at least be next year.
There was still some time before the year-end, yet they had already found him.
But Real Person Qing Song said dissatisfiedly, "Several great sects gathered in Linxi Province. If they were not afraid that the Profound Devil Master would notice something amiss and flee in secret, perhaps several patriarchs would have gone there themselves."
Lu Zheng trembled. "That's not necessary, is it?"
"Not necessary? Hmph!"
Real Person Qing Song snorted, then saw the woman in red beneath the peach blossom tree turn her head slightly and glance at him.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Real Person Qing Song could not help coughing dryly twice. After composing himself, he explained gently, "Four Heavenly Devils have been sent back already. Of the known Descended Heavenly Devils, only the Profound Devil Master remains. Naturally, the patriarchs wish to fight a swift battle and cut off all future trouble."
"That makes sense." Lu Zheng understood. The patriarchs really were reliable.
"So, Heaven Sword Mountain in Linxi Province used the approaching year-end and Wise Sword Divine Lord's five-hundredth birthday as an excuse to invite experts from every direction to a banquet. That was why the great sects sent so many experts into the province, to work with Heaven Sword Mountain's experts and investigate in secret."
Real Person Qing Song said, "They investigated for more than two months before discovering a clue. That already counts as slow."
"Amazing, amazing!"
