Hong Zhentian waved one hand, dispersing the grey evil miasma that enveloped the surroundings.
At this mont, Hong Feiyang rapidly approached from a distance, his gaze fleeting over the cave entrance before he looked at Hong Zhentian and said, "Father, the cave entrance has been opened. Shouldn’t we now lift the seal on the three evil weapons?"
"I need to ask for another Supre Elder to co here. Have soone guard this place, and keep an eye on Chen Baoshan and his grandson. Pay attention to the situation in the Capital City and don’t draw any attention." Hong Zhentian spoke in a deep voice.
"Father, since we found the sealed entrance, what use is that old guy now? Might as well kill him right now."
A sliver of killing intent flashed through Hong Feiyang’s eyes as he looked at Hong Zhentian.
"No, let’s keep him for now. It’s not too late to kill him after we’ve successfully retrieved the three evil weapons."
Hong Zhentian coldly said.
In the deep stillness of the night, in the Capital City at a concealed location, there was an ancient courtyard house.
The courtyard was imbued with the breath of antiquity, and it was not a modern building imitating the ancient style, but a real construction from ancient tis, steeped in a strong sense of history.
In the depths of this courtyard, within a particular room, an elder dressed in a long robe, with white hair and beard, suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed through them.
"Why do I have a bad feeling? Could sothing have happened?" the elder murmured to himself and then released a powerful Spiritual Sense.
Soon, a figure appeared outside the room. The elder waved his hand, and the door opened automatically. A man in a Zhongshan suit, with a square face and stern expression, and a tall, upright figure walked in. He seed to be in his forties or fifties, exuding a commanding presence.
This man bowed respectfully to the elder and asked, "Second Uncle, did you need for sothing?"
"Zhan Tian, I have a sense of unease. Has anything happened within the family?" the elder asked.
"Everything is calm; perhaps you’re just overthinking it," replied the man.
"No, this feeling is strong," the elder shook his head and said forcefully, "Go and check on Twin Dragon Mountain right away, is there anything amiss?"
The man furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "Second Uncle, are you saying there’s trouble at Twin Dragon Mountain?"
"It’s very likely. Twin Dragon Mountain is of great importance; we can’t tolerate any mishaps. Send soone to investigate imdiately," the elder said with a stern tone.
"Understood, Second Uncle!" The man nodded.
"And another thing, Second Uncle, there will be an auction in the Capital City tomorrow. It’s said that many rare resources for Martial Artists will be auctioned, including a piece of treasure map hidden by Sheng Tianyang a century ago. Should we..." the man began, his eyes flickering.
"No need. We shouldn’t intervene. Getting involved will only bring trouble to our Long Family. Our duty is to safeguard the Dragon Vein within Twin Dragon Mountain!" The elder calmly shook his head and replied.
"Understood." The man said before turning and walking out.
By the next day, a bright and spirited new day dawned.
Ye Luo rose early, stepped out of his room, and saw that Lin Xiaoyan and the other girls were already prepared for breakfast, chatting amongst themselves.
Luo Jingxuan, Ling Qingya, Yan Ling, and Mingyue, on the other hand, wore tight yoga outfits, practicing yoga on mats, their figures perfectly accentuated by the attire.
"Ye Luo, now that the matters in the Capital City are settled, we plan to return to Zhonghai. There’s a lot to do at the company, and I have to prepare i Yue’s entry into the Capital City," Luo Jingxuan said to Ye Luo.
"Good timing, I was planning to return as well. The company needs to handle things," Ling Qingya also quickly added.
"You’re leaving so soon?" Ye Luo’s expression changed as he looked at the girls.
"You don’t seem to be planning to head back, do you?" Yan Ling teased, casting a glance at Ye Luo.
"Of course not. I still have so matters to take care of here in the Capital City, and I need to leave for a while. It will take several days before I can return," Ye Luo replied.
"Where are you off to this ti?"
The won’s gazes unanimously shifted towards Ye Luo.
"To a place to find sothing. Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems," he responded with a smile. Naturally, he was referring to the Snow Palace; there were less than ten days left before the internal selection of the three candidates for the Qing List competition by the special security bureau.
He planned to attend today’s auction and then set off for Snow Mountain to find the Snow Spirit Flower to help Ruo Bing recover her strength.
However, as for whether he could find the Snow Spirit Flower, let alone bring it back, Ye Luo wasn’t certain. As Mu Qingsong had said, everything on Snow Mountain belonged to the Snow Palace.
If he found the Snow Spirit Flower, it would be best not to encounter anyone from the Snow Palace. Otherwise, it would spell doom. Of course, he wouldn’t reveal these concerns, so as not to worry the won.
"You all should stay in the Capital City for the ti being; it’s safer that way. If I go out, I can’t be at ease about your safety."
"With you in the Capital City, should there be any danger, there will be people to help. So, stay here for a while. As for the company, there are others besides you, aren’t there? A large company can’t possibly rely solely on a few of you," Ye Luo told Luo Jingxuan, Ling Qingya, and the others.
