Wang Yue saw Bi Yao engrossed in the swordplay, so he took the opportunity to stroll leisurely toward the Ghost King Sect's forbidden grounds.
The guards at the entrance saw that Wang Yue had arrived with Bi Yao and didn't take much notice of him. When he approached and lingered nearby, they assumed he was waiting for Bi Yao and said nothing.
At such close range, Wang Yue struck with incredible speed. Before the guards could react, he had knocked them unconscious.
And so Wang Yue entered the Ghost King Sect's forbidden grounds in broad daylight without making a sound.
The forbidden grounds were vast, but finding the Heavenly Book was easy. After all, its massive stone tablet towered over the tombstones scattered throughout the grounds. It stood out at a glance.
Wang Yue made his way to the tablet without hurry. Sure enough, he saw the familiar words:
Heaven and Earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs.
There wasn't much written on the tablet, and this wasn't a place for cultivation. Wang Yue gave it a cursory read and committed its contents to memory. He had no intention of causing a commotion in the Ghost King Sect, so he immediately used his spatial movement technique and appeared in Xiao Chi Town with Monkey.
Not long after he left, the sound of hurried footsteps filled the passage leading into the Ghost King Sect's forbidden grounds. A large group had clearly rushed over.
The man with the greasy air about him saw Bi Yao standing there alone. His voice was anxious but carried an air of authority as he asked, "Bi Yao, are you all right? Where's the man who grabbed you?"
Bi Yao hadn't intended to answer Ghost King, but then she remembered this was important.
