"We don't know yet.
But there is a possibility that the party that attacked Saint attacked us as well. The person who dealt with Saint has three more companions and the traps that are targeted at you are also four.
So, this cannot be a pure coincidence." The Deputy answered.
"Doesn't that an, that their target is not us, but the Divine formation mountain instead?"
"Yes. That's why I am thinking of reporting the matter to the mountain."
"No. Not yet. We need to do our part first. Once the disciples take over and the master knows about it, things won't end well.
In this issue, I agree with Saint. We need to try and resolve this situation by ourselves."
"But if the party is targeting the Divine formation mountain, doesn't it make sense for us to inform them? The Mountain master and the disciples can only handle so much.
Particularly with this party's skills, we need to be extra careful.
One of them defeated Saint in a healing challenge and left behind sothing that caused an explosion. So people even said it looked just like a liquid cylinder that the Divine formation mountain uses.
As for the traps, you should know what happened yourself. They are dangerous. And the reason is the sa as why the Divine formation mountain is dangerous in the first place."
"Don't worry about it. Even though what you said is true, we still have to figure out a way to deal with this situation ourselves.
There is a reason why all of the subordinates of Divine formation mountain work this hard just to be in his favor. You wouldn't understand, even if I explain it to you now, but just know that, the mont this news goes to the mountain, we have hell to pay.
Let's get of this place first. We need to investigate the situation in our place before coming back here and discuss with Saint.
It is better to cooperate if the perpetrator is indeed the sa group."
"Alright, let's go."
With that, both of them left Saint's place and went back to their own place.
There Smith went back to the place where the traps were set off. He examined the chanisms once again and looked for any traces and clues that could give a hint of any information.
But he is clueless. The elental energies are way too diverse for him to estimate the elental affinity and the power of each energy is also different to estimate the level of cultivation.
The manufacturing style is sothing that he has never seen in any realms he has visited. This is also troubleso.
Even after a couple of days of investigation, he couldn't find anything. The only thing he is sure of is that the other party is resourceful and there is a technique similar to that of energy liquifying process that Mountain uses.
He found the traces of the technique from the tal sphere from which the ice elental energy pellets were shot at him.
So, if he matches this up with the liquid energy cylinder that exploded on the stage and damaged Saint, then the group matches up.
Even though it appeared a bit far fetched, there is no way he could ignore this.
He took the evidence and walked out of the room. He felt a bit tired and stretched his body.
"Arrgh…"
He groaned in pain and instinctually tried to reach out of his back.
His spine was shot with a very sharp pain that ca out of nowhere. He felt like sothing is seriously wrong. But after moving around for a while, the pain disappeared which reassured him a bit.
He went to et his deputy and asked.
"Make preparations for us to go and et Saint. We need to get as much info as possible. At our current stage, we can barely connect these two incidents. So, lets hope we can find any other concrete clue there or at least a clue completely disregarding our thoughts and opinions.
Either way, we will get so conclusion and move on to the next step in finding these people."
"If you say so."
Both of them went back to Saint's place. But the sight that greeted them is shocking.
All the lines of people that Saint used to have in front of his estate were gone. It is almost deserted. It is already surprising that Saint just stayed at one place for so long.
The reason he doesn't do that usually is because of the nuisance that cos with the people who wants his favour.
But because of the circumstances, Saint has to stay here. But they still expected lines with hundreds of people waiting for his ti.
The scene here is completely opposite. It is deserted to the point that so people who lived there are nowhere to seen.
As they were thinking about all these things, an attendant visited and guided them to the place where Saint was waiting for them.
"What happened to you? Why are there no people around this place?"
"I cleared them all. I wanted to find a way to deal with these bastards. But the citizens in the surroundings and the people that co to visit are being a distractions. I told them all to disturbing so that I could have so peaceful ti as well"
"Have you found any clues about the people that attacked you?"
"The attacker is only one person. The remaining three are passive beyond belief. They didn't speak, didn't do anything. In fact, there was barely any participation. They looked so unbothered.
They didn't even bother to cheer him up when hundreds of people are discouraging him and calling him nas.
And finally he has at least three elental affinities that I know of.
He can use, light, wood and water elental energies. Does that count as a clue?"
"Do you know any info on the other three? The elental affinity?"
"I don't know. Why?"
