"It's actually him?!"
Jiang Ye's expression remained unchanged, but his pupils contracted slightly.
The instant the Buddhist bead cracked.
He immediately realized that the man before him was probably the Buddhist Sect traitor Master Yinxin had been searching so desperately for.
Then he recalled Huang Gang mentioning that this forging master had only arrived recently. The timing matched, too.
What surprised Jiang Ye somewhat was the man's build.
According to Huang Gang, this master possessed immense natural strength, yet he was as thin as a bundle of bones...
That was truly unexpected.
It seems this man was most likely the one who stole my weapons.

He knew several Buddhist Sect martial arts and had few rivals within the Innate Realm.
Stealing the weapons from right under Huang Gang's nose without anyone noticing would naturally have been no great challenge.
"Elder Jiang, this is Master Fu Tao, who arrived recently."
Huang Gang hurriedly made the introduction, then addressed the man inside the room:
"Master Fu, this is Elder Jiang of the Upper Sect's Heavenly Cloud Peak..."

He hadn't expected the man to be so outrageously bold.
Hadn't he seen Elder Jiang shatter the iron door with a single palm strike just now?!
Huang Gang was worried that Elder Jiang's next palm strike would land on Master Fu and smash
