Only after seeing White Bone Daoist and his party disappear into the distance did Lian Youming step out, his gaze dark. For a moment, he felt an astonishing, murderous tension settle invisibly over the vast expanse of Mount Lu.
It was as though an unremarkable place had become a deadly lair in the blink of an eye!
"They all came from the north? It seems their discovery of the Sword Immortal Inheritance's location probably has something to do with the White Lotus Sect.
"After all, back in Tahe, Third Brother Xie and his gang spent decades doggedly waiting around the Mountain-Guarding Old Man. Besides the person in the tomb, the reason for that presumably involved the Sword Immortal Inheritance too.
"And the carvings in that tomb were left by someone surnamed Chen, which was why Xue Hen and Gong Wuer came to Mount Lu one after another to investigate.
"That makes sense."
But these people only knew there was treasure in the mountains, not its exact location.
Lian Youming, however, knew.
That mysterious route map that had fallen out of Journey to the West had to be connected to the Sword Immortal Inheritance.
Presumably, it too had been left by the person surnamed Chen.
All these things, everything from the past, were finally beginning to connect, piece by piece.
With no time to think further, Lian Youming glanced at the crescent moon hanging in the sky and swiftly slipped into the mountains.
If word of this leaked, there was no way only this handful of people would come.
Both openly and in secret, it would surely draw many martial arts experts to covet and watch it. And anyone who came to compete for it would certainly be a great expert who dominated their own territory, or even a Mystic Connection
