After withdrawing to the mountainside a mile away, Lu Xiao Lu asked with a solemn expression, "They came to see the Evil Venerable?"
What she feared most was the Evil Venerable.
The target of their stealth and concealed presence was also the Evil Venerable.
If it had been any other expert, she was confident she could retreat unscathed.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded lightly. "It seems they intended to meet the Evil Venerable in secret... Why meet in secret? Do they have some new scheme?"
He frowned inwardly.
He Lingchuan and Zhong Lingyun had already been killed by him, and Chu Liezhao had collected their souls.
He had not mentioned killing the two Evil Venerables to anyone.
It was simply too shocking, and there was truly no need to say it.
With the two Evil Venerables dead, whom had they come to see?
From He Lingchuan and Zhong Lingyun's memories, there had been no order telling them to come here secretly.
Then who had issued it?
Either this middle-aged man had fabricated it himself, or there was another Evil Venerable?
There had been no other Evil Venerables in He Lingchuan and Zhong Lingyun's memories.
He felt doubtful and curious.
"If it's the Evil Venerable..." Lu Xiao Lu frowned slightly.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled. "Senior Sister, are you worried we won't be able to hide from the Evil Venerable's senses?"
"Can we?" Lu Xiao Lu asked.
"Apparently, this is a secret art passed down by the Evil Venerable. Whether it can fool him or not is hard to say."
"Then let's try." Lu Xiao Lu's bright eyes gleamed as she said softly, "I've never dealt with an Evil Venerable before."
"That's too risky... Why don't we report this to Senior Sister Qi and have her help us?"
Lu Xiao Lu gently shook her head.
