I Really Didn't Expect This of My Disciple

Zhao De looked Yang Ling up and down, then scoffed:

"So it really is you, you little brat. You hid for thirty whole years. Even I couldn't find you.

"If you hadn't shown up at the Divine Guard Bureau, I'd have thought Zong Heng and Shi Tianlong of Arhat Temple had killed you back then."

"Master, it's a long story. But what are you doing in the Abyssal Beast Grotto?"

Yang Ling hurriedly changed the subject.

He finally understood how the White Bone God Lord knew he was the head of the Iron Garment Division.

Judging by Zhao De's presence here and what he had just said...

He was working with the White Bone God Lord!

No. The White Bone God Lord was only found recently. Master Zhao's partner can't be him...

Yang Ling's heart lurched. Could it be a Celestial Immortal from the Myriad Affairs Bureau!?

That's right. The White Bone God Lord is working with a Celestial Immortal from the Myriad Affairs Bureau. That's how he got a position there.

Master Zhao came here with the Fire-Seed Kindling the White Bone Master mentioned. That means he's working with that Celestial Immortal too.

But my sworn brother said Master Zhao is only a Second-Grade Human Immortal. They can't be direct partners. It must be...

A startling possibility struck Yang Ling.

An Earthly Immortal from Rong Kingdom was working with an Earthly Immortal from the Myriad Affairs Bureau!

If that's true... which side are Master and the others on? The Great Dream Dynasty's? Or the rebels'?

If they're with the rebels, I'm in trouble. My mission is to defend A-9 City. We'll end up fighting...

Zhao De studied Yang Ling thoughtfully.

"Your sworn brother said you infiltrated the Great Dream Dynasty's Divine Guard Bureau to avenge the Crimson-Refined Fire Jiao
