The cultivator was greatly astonished, but seeing Zhang Qingxiao grow angry, he was terrified. He bowed and said, "Yes, yes! Sect Master Lord, when this lowly one received the news, I did not think much of it. But... but when I saw those two people specifically mentioned by the Sect Master, I hurried through the night... and personally delivered it!"
"Mm." In only a moment, Zhang Qingxiao had regained his calm. He nodded, reached out to pat the cultivator's shoulder, and smiled. "Not bad. You did very well!"
"Many thanks for the Sect Master's praise!" The cultivator was overwhelmed by the favor. With another pat of his hand, he took out another jade slip and handed it to Zhang Qingxiao. "This disciple feared that Sect Master Lord might have other needs, so I also recorded the situation at Quanjin Mountain, along with a map."
Zhang Qingxiao was overjoyed. Taking the jade slip, he patted his hand again and brought out a token with a smile. "Well done. This is this sect's reward for you. Take it and claim your prize! In the future, keep doing such clever things!"
The cultivator's eyes lit up. Taking the token, he bowed and said, "Many thanks for Sect Master's generous reward! This disciple takes his leave."
After the disciple withdrew, Zhang Qingxiao impatiently immersed his divine sense into the jade slip. Once he had examined it carefully, a trace of puzzlement appeared on his face. Stroking his chin, he muttered, "Several tens of thousands of swordsmen? At most, they would only have Bright Sword cultivation. Nothing should happen to Xiao Hua! But if thirty Illusion Sword Swordsmen truly besieged him, damn it, that fellow... probably really couldn't withstand them! But the question is, how could thirty Illusion Sword Swordsmen possibly go after that fellow?
