The Seventy-Eighth Chapter: Entering the Lake
"Brother, do you know how he sealed it off?"
"I'm not too sure about that." The burly leader shook his head.
"B-Big Brother, I know a little!"
A short man poked his head out from behind them. "I went exploring earlier and happened to hear someone say that a group of young ladies from an Aristocratic Clan who entered early never came back out. That Young Master Li sealed the place off, saying he was worried about them."
"He's forbidding other adventure groups from entering, supposedly to keep those young ladies safe."
Bi Fan's heart gave a sudden leap at that. Young ladies from an Aristocratic Clan? Could it be Yun Piaoxue?! Was she really in danger, or had Li Chaoge forced her into it?!
Noticing Bi Fan's unusual expression, Zheng Shi'an hurriedly asked, "Little Brother, do you have any other information?!"
"No, that's all I know..."
Seeing their strange expressions, the burly leader advised them, "Brothers, it's not easy to cultivate out here. I suggest you don't get mixed up in this. Your lives are what matter!"
With that, they left.
Zheng Shi'an was stunned for a moment, then slipped a second-grade Chaos Spirit Fruit into the short man's hand to thank him for the information.
Only after the group had gone did he look at Bi Fan and ask quietly, "Big Brother, what do we do now?"
"Go find Li Chaoge!" Bi Fan's voice was low, but it carried unshakable resolve.
He had no idea what had happened to Yun Piaoxue. Had she run into danger while exploring, or was Li Chaoge using this underhanded scheme to force him to show himself?
But whichever it was, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
Bi Fan knew he might have no chance
