Sect Elder Leisho almost ripped the letters into shreds at the ridiculousness in them.
What was this?
Who the hell would believe such crap?
If even the Yanging Province couldn't produce such things, it would be one puny desolate town in the Tah Province?
Almost no one would believe such lies!
If these people were doing something else, they could've just said it and received his wrath.
Why lie, twist, and turn things as if he were a child?
Did they think him stupid?
Gateway to another realm, here in the Tah Province?
Impossible!!!
Sect Leader Leisho unraveled his legs before standing up ever so slowly.
And in the next second, he was gone!
~Woop!
Not far away, in another Elder's abode, he appeared there calmly.
~Whoop!
Elder Kadiri, who was watering her plants, didn't bother turning around when the intruder invaded her space.
"Oh? Elder Leisho, what brings you here? As far as I know, you only ever pay me a visit when there's trouble."
Leisho remained expressionless but couldn't help grinning deeply.
Sigh... She was still the same.
Kadiri was his older sister by 4 years from the same parents.
.
In terms of strength, the sect did have a grand elder and ancestor who was behind closed doors... cultivating away.
Their ancestor was at the middle stages of the 13th Dan, Spirit Realm.
And once he passed the 13th Dan, he would ascend.
Following the ancestor, Leisho was the 2nd strongest, and his sister was also one of the strongest in the sect.
She was the 6th strongest elder out of 800 or so of them.
This included elders assigned to look only after the outer disciples, inner disciples, Halls, etc.
There were never enough elders because once a big calamity came about, some elders would die in the mix too.
The Profound Sect had over 700 thousand students and just that many elders.
Some students had been in the school for 600 years, while others for 300.
In essence, provided one didn't break the rules, die or become a school elder, they could stay as students till they ascend.
At the same time, they would have to carry out missions, bring home to the sect, and whatnot.
Some people in the sects have lived for centuries, trying to gain more chances to ascend.
At the same time, sect members also died often too, and new ones came in as well.
Some even betray the sect and head towards the enemy sects, while others leave for family reasons.
Well, he, as sect leader, just had to make sure that the sect survived and flourished during his reign, at least until he passed it on to the next person and ascended.
Leisho was shocked.
It was indeed a rare sight for her to laugh so much. His pent-up anger dissipated a bit.
Even though he had never married, Kadiri had married ages ago, and her children were also within the Profound Sect.
Kadiri was 914 years old, while her children were around 700 years old.
And her husband was also an elder in the sect... Even though he was currently out on a secret mission.
Her oldest son had also become a talented elder as well.
If all things considered, he should be the sect's successor too.
But even though Kadiri was truly happy, her expressions were relatively the same, making it hard for one to tell her mood.
That's why seeing her laugh like this was just too rare.
Leisho smiled awkwardly.
Well, he wouldn't totally kill those 2 idiots when they got back.
.
Kadiri smirked and turned around to face Leisho: "So you want me to go bring them back, as well as investigate?"
"Yes. Elder sister. Even though I think it's preposterous, it's better for us to be safe. For all we know, this could also be another way for them to call help. But I highly doubt it since the person who delivered the message also said that Tsongai had requested a few of his disciples to head towards Wenji town immediately."
"Hmmm... You're right. I think there should be no danger there. Rather, I think there should be some object or something there that would help his disciples have a fruitful encounter. The gateway to another realm shouldn't exist. It should just be something great."
"Like the green nontal flame?"
"No... And yes. No, it couldn't be the Nontal flame since Nianzu and Tsongai don't have such capacities to mask it. With their loyalty, they should've brought it straight back to the sect instead. It might just be that they had either found precious herbs or something that would help their disciples right before the big tournament."
"Yes. That's what I was thinking as well. Nonetheless, we have to investigate things properly."
Kadiri nodded thoughtfully: "Don't worry. I'll tag along with Tsongai's disciples, and I'll even take a few of my disciples too. The inter-sect competition will begin in 3 weeks. So I'll be sure to drag them back before then."
"Good."
~Woosh!
Leisho vanished again, leaving the curious Kadiri behind.
She calmly signaled her disciples, telling them to meet her here now. At the same time, she sent someone to one of Tsongai's oldest disciples.
Next stop, Wenji Town!
