Chapter 189: Library

Darian, Lassim and the rest of the initiate rank disciples gathered their captives and prepared to meet the approaching caravan. 

The sight of the caravan's enchanted carriages, unharmed, was a welcome sight. Hopefully, with the caravan's assistance, the group and the hostages would not have to walk back to the sect on foot. 

As the caravan drew nearer, the leader, a Spirit Ascension stage Inner Sect disciple clad in purple martial attire with silver accents, stepped forward.

He bowed slightly. "Greetings, I am Eldrin, the leader of this caravan. I was informed that we might serve as bait for an ambush, but I am grateful to see that you've already managed to capture the bandits."

Darian stepped forward, bowing in return. "Greetings, Eldrin. We were successful in our mission, thanks in large part to Lassim here. We have several bandits in custody and would appreciate your help in transporting them back to the sect, if that's fine with you."
