"Speak another word of nonsense and you'll be facing sect discipline," snapped Zuo Mu, a disciple of Elder Tie Fu.
"What nonsense? Xu Yang is right behind me. Ask him yourself! I still need to go inform the Elders and the Peak Master."
The man pointed behind him. Just as he said, Xu Yang, Lu Chuping, and Gao Lin were striding through the gateway, followed by the disciples who had descended the mountain with them to wipe out the Blood Lotus Sect stronghold.
He was actually walking side-by-side with Gao Lin and Lu Chuping. On his back, he carried a long object wrapped in black cloth. His handsome face was calm and composed, as if this was all perfectly natural, and even the more senior disciples behind them showed no sign of complaint.
"Xu Yang, have you reached Marrow Cleansing Minor Achievement?"
Someone, unable to hold back any longer, asked in a loud voice.
In an instant, every gaze fell upon Xu Yang, their eyes fixed on him.
