Shadow One stepped forward and said: “Subordinate was just about to report to Master. We have the information of those few people. Originally, they had each entered a sect on this side. However, later on, during the sects’ big selection, they were chosen by the Four Sects of the upper reaches to become their disciples due to their outstanding performances.”
“Oh?” Xuanyuan Mo Ze was slightly surprised: “All four of them have been chosen by those Four Sects?”
“Yes, Luo Fei, Ning Lang, as well as Song Ming and Duan Ye were all picked. However, I don’t know the whereabouts of Bai Xiao, the one who is good at taming beasts. There has been no news of him.” Shadow One said respectfully.
“Since they are at the upper reaches of the mainland, sooner or later, they will meet Feng Jiu. They were trained by her personally, with them in each of the Four Sects, it will be easier for her to take any action in the future.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said. He paused for a while, then said: “Take this news to Gray Wolf. Tell him that once they have news of Feng Jiu, they are to give her the news of the four of them.”
“Yes.” Shadow One responded and retreated into the shadows once again.
On the other side, at Jade Cloud Immortal Sect, one of the Four Great Immortal Sects, on a mountain peak, two children, one older and one younger, were practising sword techniques with wooden swords. Stood not too far away were two elders. One of the elders was stroking his beard, nodding his head with a look of satisfaction on his face.
If Feng Jiu and the others were here, they would have definitely recognised the two children. The older one was Sunny and the younger one was Feng Ye. After the two of them had been rescued, they were taken to Jade Cloud Immortal Sect and taken as disciples by Xuwu Immortal Lord.
“These two children have only been learning this sword technique for a few months and they have picked it up very well. You have good foresight Senior Brother.”
“Come to think of it, we have Old Man Tianji to thank for this. The last time I visited his place he had only pointed me in a direction. After searching for so long, I finally found them.” The elder’s eyes narrowed as he smiled, his face filled with relief: “After we have cultivated these two young children to become talents, I will finally have a successor.”
“These two children have extraordinary characters, especially the younger one, his appearance is even more outstanding. I’m afraid that they are most probably not children from an ordinary family?” The elder at the side asked as his gaze fell on Feng Ye, who was in front of him.
“I saved them on the road, I don’t know whose family they belong to. However, these two children are fated to be my disciples and their fate with their family is weak. If they remain by their family’s side, I’m afraid that it would be difficult for them to survive. It’s better for them to develop their talents before they go down the mountain to look for their relatives.”
Xuwu Immortal Lord stroked his beard as he spoke. He glanced at the two children and said: “By the way, haven’t the Four Great Immortal Sects sent men to search for the Phoenix Star? Why have I heard news that there has been some development in the search?”
“The news refers to a woman in the Heavenly Sun Sect. It is said that when this woman was born, there were meteors raining down from the Heavens. Be it natural talents or disposition, she is said to be a phoenix amongst people. She is also said to be very beautiful. In addition to this, it is said that this woman has a phoenix shaped birthmark on her body, therefore, it was predicted that she is the Phoenix Star. At present, she is an important person and is under the protection of the Heavenly Sun Sect.”
“Oh?”
Xuwu Immortal Lord replied thoughtfully: “However, as far as I know, hasn’t Old Man Tianji’s disciple Mo Chen been given orders to go and protect the Phoenix Star? Is he by the woman’s side?”
“I’ve not heard anything about that. As far as I know, Nalan Mo Chen’s whereabouts are erratic, and even his own family have difficulty locating him. Right now, no one knows where he has gone.”
