Not long after the two of them left, a message reached the mountain-guarding disciples. The moment they read it, their expressions changed drastically.
"Th-Those couldn't be the two disciples, could they?"
The Pure Yang disciple who had let Li Changfeng and the other go heard this and forced a smile. "It can't possibly be such a coincidence! It must be a misunderstanding!"
The Hidden Sword Manor disciple hesitated for a moment. "Should we report this matter to our sect?"
The Pure Yang disciple's expression shifted slightly. "No! We can't report it to the sect, or we'll definitely be severely punished! We might even lose our lives!"
The Hidden Sword Manor disciple nodded, equally terrified. He hurriedly said, "In that case, let's pretend nothing happened!"
At that moment, a strange look appeared in the Yan family disciple's eyes. He secretly raised his hand, intending to send word to the Yan family and claim this great merit for himself.
However, the other two disciples noticed him. Killing intent flashed in their eyes as they instantly attacked the Yan family disciple, cutting off his transmission!
"Y-You... what are you doing?!"
The two men wore savage expressions. "For the sake of secrecy! We can only sacrifice you!"
By then, Li Changfeng and Zhang Xuandao had already left Sword Peak Mountain. They had not gone far when they received a message telling them to head directly to Western Shu Province.
Without another word, the two rushed toward Western Shu Province. Meanwhile, the people from the Three Great Sects searched Sword Peak Mountain with grim faces, completely unaware that the two had already left.
Western Shu Province.
After many days of travel, Li Changfeng and Zhang Xuandao finally arrived. Western Shu Province was unlike any of the other provinces they had visited before.
