Chapter 1948: Chapter 1948: The Guide Has Been Found
“I heard before that the Great Elder of the Eternal Night Sect was nad Baili Ying. It must be a coincidence of the sa na,” he remarked.
“I am indeed the Great Elder of the Eternal Night Sect, Baili Ying,” the elder imdiately spoke up to clarify his identity upon hearing his words.
Though it was sowhat embarrassing to admit it, how could he not be considered a person of significant influence within the Eternal Night Sect? And yet here he was, reduced to being hunted and forced to flee into the wilderness during the Eternal Night Ti to feed the demonic beasts.
It truly was a mont of dire straits he did not wish for outsiders to witness.
“So it really is you,” Yuu Rong exclaid in surprise, realizing it was not just a case of sharing the sa na but indeed the very person himself.
How fortunate, considering they were just about to head to the Eternal Night Sect. Now they had encountered their Great Elder, who was like an ancestor to them and their guide. They ought to cherish and serve him well.
...
However…
His gaze shifted, eyeing the man standing beside Baili Ying. If he wasn’t mistaken, this old gentleman seed to be in the act of protecting the man.
The person whom a Great Elder of a Sect would afford protection to was typically one of a few possibilities.
One, he could be the Sect Leader of the Eternal Night Sect, but that was unlikely.
Two, he might be the Sect Leader or the Young Sect Leader of another Sect, with the Great Elder assigned to escort him into the Qe Mingmu space of the Eternal Night Sect, a possibility that was also quite slim.
That left only the third possibility, this man was the Young Sect Master or the young prince of the Eternal Night Sect, the ones they were protecting were the future of the Eternal Night Sect.
That would explain it; the future of their own Sect was indeed worth risking their lives to protect.
“Sister-in-law, we’ve found our guide,”
He shuffled a bit closer to An Jiuyue and whispered to her.
Indeed, they had found themselves a guide. They needed to cultivate a good relationship with him to have him lead them to the Eternal Night Sect. With him, they could even forego a map on their journey.
“Hmm.”
An Jiuyue responded softly.
“Let’s find a place to sit down and rest for a while,” she suggested.
“Okay.”
Yuu Rong agreed, then watched as Qian Jiyun took out quite a few things from the space.
He took them in his hand, chose a relatively flat spot, laid everything out thodically, and brought out so food, and the three of them sat down.
“Aren’t you tired? Want to co and rest for a while?”
Seeing Baili Ying and his company standing there in silence, as if not daring to believe that they would dare to settle down in the middle of nowhere during Eternal Night Ti to rest.
What if those man-eating demonic beasts attacked? They wouldn’t have a chance to escape, right?
Yet all around them, the calm was almost eerie, the beasts coming and going without a trace, as if they’d never existed at all.
“Sister-in-law, were those demonic beasts afraid of you earlier?”
Seeing that they were still in a daze, he no longer paid them any attention, lit a fire, and turned to ask An Jiuyue.
He understood now. Those creatures weren’t afraid of them; they were only afraid of his sister-in-law. By extension, those creatures must have a profound connection with Wulong Mountain.
He just didn’t know what those things were.
“I heard from the worker at the inn that these man-eating creatures didn’t originally exist in the Eternal Night Plane. They only appeared about twenty years ago.
The people of the Eternal Night Plane, even during the days of the Eternal Night Ti, did not always live in fear. Those who resided in the Underground City led rather comfortable lives.”
