Before long, however, Su Jiu raised her head.
"Have you heard of demon seeds?"
At the words "demon seeds," towering waves surged through Yun Huanling's heart.
He had only learned about demon seeds in the past two years himself, because a carrier had once appeared in their sect.
It was only then that his master, Hongguang, had told him everything about demon seeds.
That had included the Demon-Subduing Land.
So A Jiu already knew about them too?
Yun Huanling rubbed his chin. "You mean someone planted a demon seed in Xie Gu?"
Su Jiu shook her head. "I'm not sure yet. It's only a guess."
But Yun Huanling knew that when Su Jiu called something a guess, she usually already had some evidence in hand.
Su Jiu still harbored doubts about this matter. She kept feeling that even if Xie Gu had been implanted with a demon seed, it had not happened while he was at the Heavenly Dawn Sect.
After all, a demon seed needed time to adapt after entering a body. Making Xie Gu erupt so quickly was certainly not something that could be accomplished in a short time.
As Su Jiu pondered, she suddenly sensed fluctuations of spiritual qi nearby.
She swiftly formed a hand seal with her fingertips.
Another barrier rose around them.
Still searching for the mechanism formation, Yun Huanling looked at Su Jiu with a hint of confusion. "What is it?"
Su Jiu's gaze sharpened slightly, and even her breathing grew quieter. "Someone's coming."
Sure enough, the moment Su Jiu's voice transmission ended, two more people entered through the spot where they had previously been teleported in.
Judging by their clothes, they were also two outer gate disciples coming to patrol.
As soon as they entered, the two disciples deftly activated the mechanism formation.
