After speaking, Gong Yushang clasped his hands toward Master Sun again. "What grievance do you two Daoist brothers have that you had to storm the government offices of Jizhou Territory and stir up such a huge commotion? If you trust me, I can mediate and help you talk things out."
Before Gong Yushang had finished speaking, a piercing cry suddenly rang out from outside. It was the voice of the Wraith.
In a flash, Master Sun rushed out of the hall, but there was no sign of the Wraith. In another flash, he darted back inside.
Xi Mengfan was hidden behind the dense woods, holding his breath so tightly he didn't dare exhale. He peered down the cliff face. The Ruyi Pearl that had created the illusion earlier had already fallen into the ravine.
The Wraith's shriek just now had come from the image Xi Mengfan had conjured by activating the Ruyi Pearl.
He had, of course, obtained this Ruyi Pearl from Xu Yi.
Whenever he thought of Xu Yi's methods for dealing with enemies and striking from the shadows, Xi Mengfan couldn't help shuddering. Though Xu Yi wasn't there, he could still predict every crucial detail.
The Gong family had gotten entangled with that man. This was probably a calamity for them indeed.
Master Sun had barely flashed back into the hall when he went berserk. Without a word, he charged at Meng Fan and shouted, "Brother Liu, hold off these few minnows for a while. I'll take care of the man surnamed Meng, then come help you."
Now that he knew where the Wraith was, Master Sun was thoroughly at ease. He had no interest in wasting words with anyone; he simply wanted to sweep away every obstacle.
At the thought of it, he couldn't help marveling again
