Xu Chui quickly regained his composure. Indeed, as long as Sect Master was around, what danger could possibly threaten them?
He stood up and exited the courtyard together with Lu Sheng.
The chilly night wind howled along the carriage road outside Northern Court.
The rest of the Crimson Whale Sect disciples also exited from the opposite courtyard. At the sight of Lu Sheng, they hurried over and greeted him.
"Sect Master, something’s wrong. Earlier in the afternoon, we could still see White River Sect disciples patrolling outside. But now, there’s no sight of them at all.
We asked someone to bring us some dishes, but it’s been more than two hours and yet not even a single servant lady can be seen. Our brothers who went out to look for the servants said that there’s no one outside at all!" an old Elder in the sect reported grimly.
"Stay here and wait. I’ll go ask Brother Bai," Lu Sheng frowned as he felt that something was amiss too.
"Let this old man accompany Sect Master."
