They couldn't possibly have some bizarre special fetish, could they?!
Watching the elders' panic-stricken expressions, Jueming fell into deep thought.
Clearly, unless these people were tired of living, the Water Marsh Sect cultivators would never dare fabricate lies to deceive the Buddhist Sect at a time like this.
So the question was—
How had a mere Inkfall Realm cultivator crossed two major realms and forcibly slain a Wandering Void Sea Venerable?
Could someone so heaven-defying truly exist in this world?
Or was heaven and earth truly capable of being so unfair?
If she could already act so outrageously in the Inkfall Realm, then once she reached the Wandering Void Sea Realm, would she not be able to defy the odds and slay someone in the Supreme Capital Realm?!
A trace of absurdity flashed through Jueming's heart.
Still... even if she truly possessed such means, the two of them could not simply let the matter rest and leave.
Setting everything else aside, if the Arhat who had issued the decree before departing learned that they had been frightened into fleeing without a fight by someone merely rumored to be in the Inkfall Realm, the Arhat's fury of flaying skin and pulling tendons would be enough for them to bear.
"Let's test her first. If we truly cannot defeat her, we can make other plans then."
After pondering for a long while, Jueming finally made his decision.
They could not just slink back to the Buddhist Sect's Golden Summit with their tails between their legs without even trying.
Juechen frowned deeply, his voice low. "Then how are we supposed to find her?"
"We don't even know her name. Are we really supposed to search all across the Nine Provinces?!"
Jueming fell silent.
They could indeed occupy Great Marsh Township like a magpie
