As she watched Qin Fengming vanish from the range of her spiritual sense, Madam Xinru's expression grew solemn.
"Junior Sister, why didn't you go with that Qin brat? What if he finds the cave dwelling, breaks through the formation, and enters on his own?"
A low voice suddenly sounded beside Madam Xinru. Had anyone been nearby, they would surely have been astonished, for this was unmistakably a man's voice, not a woman's.
"Hmph. Senior Brother Wu, I've told you time and again that you had best speak less. One careless slip could alert those old monsters, and then neither of us would escape death. Danger lurks everywhere here. If the young lord of Manghuang Mountain wishes to go ahead alone, why shouldn't I welcome it? Since that cave dwelling belonged to an Integration stage cultivator, how could its restrictive spells be so easily broken? Even if he finds it, he will certainly summon us to break through them together."
Madam Xinru gave a soft snort and spoke quietly, displeasure in her voice.
"I've heard that the young lord of Manghuang Mountain has formidable abilities, and his mastery of formations is even more profound. We finally have a chance to earn great merit. We mustn't end up with empty hands, having gained nothing at all."
"You worry too much, Senior Brother. Even if the young lord of Manghuang Mountain possesses astonishing abilities, he could never quickly break a restrictive spell deliberately laid by an Integration stage cultivator. Otherwise, with the shrewdness of the Wen brothers and the others, they would never have split up to search for the cave dwelling."
"Since you say so, Junior Sister, I won't speak of it again. I only hope we don't return empty-handed from this journey."
As that voice faded, silence settled over the area
