Lin Taichu's gaze remained fixed on the dark region of Supreme Peak. "It seems the one controlling the Mutated Beasts is hidden within that darkness. The power the Mutated Beasts gained through slaughter ultimately gathered there, nourishing the controller."
The gray-robed elder said, "The Mirror of the World's View can at most observe the outskirts of Supreme Peak. It cannot penetrate that darkness. We know nothing about what lies within."
"Moreover, that darkness contains dense Corrupt Devil Power and evil energy. It is even more terrifying than the Mutated Beast samples in the courtyard. Even peak Sixth Rank Cultivators would not dare approach it lightly."
"No matter what is inside, I have to go."
"Only by finding the controller and dealing with him completely can we end this disaster and prevent more innocent deaths."
The White-bearded Elder looked at Lin Taichu with a complicated expression. "Fellow Daoist Taichu, Supreme Peak is far too dangerous. Even our Heavenly Clan's Sixth Rank elders failed to return alive. Though your medical skills are exceptional, your cultivation is only at the late Fifth Rank. Going there would be no different from throwing your life away."
"I know what I'm doing," Lin Taichu said. "I came here for this very matter. No matter how dangerous it is, I will not retreat. But before heading to Supreme Peak, I have one request."
"Please speak, Fellow Daoist Taichu," the White-bearded Elder said.
"I hope the Heavenly Clan will continue observing Supreme Peak's movements. If anything unusual happens, notify me immediately through a Message Jade Talisman. Also, if something happens to me, I hope the Heavenly Clan will assist Zhao Hu and Li Xuan in continuing the investigation," Lin Taichu said.
The three elders exchanged glances and nodded. "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Taichu. We agree to your request.
