~gulp~
Elder Liqiang drank some water from the cup that was kept on the side of his bed and let out a breath.
~huu~
"It was all going well according to our plan, and I was heading back to the sect, but when I entered the Broken Sand Desert, I sensed a few people flying across the sky at great speed.
If it were not for the special detection spirit tools I had for the installing of the teleportation gate, I would have never even found those people. Since the tool was sensitive to spatial fluctuations, it sensed the people that were hiding under an invisibility formation array.
Finding it very suspicious, I followed the signals and soon reached an empty area. But there I found myself trapped in a bewildering formation array. I couldn't even tell how or when it surrounded me and I was lost.
After trying to escape it for a few minutes, I was forcefully pulled to the inside of the Kushao ruins. I was confused at first, but seeing the strange beasts in the ruins, I realized where I was.
I was fighting the beasts when I was discovered by the people of the Northern Tribes. They managed to overwhelm me with a sneak attack and trapped me. Seeing that I was an elder of the Noon Grass sect, they tried to extract information about our sect.
To me, it seemed like their goal was to infiltrate the sect. And hearing what Gu Yao could do reminded me of the level of threat we would face if she found out about the location of the sect.
They might ambush some disciple or elder when they leave the sect and then use them to infiltrate the sect. It would be a simple yet effective strategy considering the ability of Gu Yao." Elder Liqiang answered.
"What… do you mean?" Supreme elder couldn't help but question.
"Well, we might not have to worry about the Teleportation Gate and its components. And neither will Elder Liqiang have to worry about the other things of his spatial storage ring.
"I can bring back the items." Lin Mu said, absolutely shocking them.
"WHAT!?" Elder Liqiang and Hua Langya were shocked.
"Yes. I just need the broken parts and some time. Once I have that, I will be able to retrieve the lost object." Lin Mu stated with confidence.
