"No, Little Martial Aunt. I was listening the whole time, but there was nothing."
Ping'an shook his head, looking somewhat ashamed.
Little Martial Aunt stroked its head and offered a word of comfort.
"I didn't see anyone suspicious either."
Bai Yu also spoke with a look of regret.
"It isn't your fault. This person must have caught wind of things beforehand and left early."
Lu Rushuang said.
After all, the commotion at Mad Wolf Stronghold had been considerable, so it was only natural for someone to hear a rustle in the wind.
Just as they were discussing going down to meet Xu Taiping, the Jade Disc they had placed on the table suddenly blazed with light.
"It should be Master Xuanzhi asking about Taiping's battle."
Lu Rushuang guessed.
Then she cupped the Jade Disc in both hands and poured her True Essence into it.
Sure enough, everyone then heard Little Monk Xuanzhi's voice ring out from the Jade Disc-
"Senior Lu, Taiping won, didn't he?"
"Rest assured, he won, and his injuries aren't too serious," Lu Rushuang replied at once.
Before long, a voice filled with relief sounded from the Jade Disc-
"That's good."
After saying this, Xuanzhi paused briefly, then suddenly spoke in a somewhat grave tone:
"There is something I may need you to pass on to Taiping, Senior Lu, if he isn't beside you."
At these words, Lu Rushuang's expression immediately changed, and a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.
Then the Jade Disc in her hands lit up again, and Monk Xuanzhi's voice came from it once more-
"Today, at Mad Wolf Stronghold, we encountered a Demonic Beast disguised as a Transformation Realm expert. From him, we learned some information concerning the Seventh Demon Abyss. One matter among them concerns this Golden Scale Assembly."
