Bab 269: Insidious design (2)

Chapter 269

(Unedited)

…

Seeing the five outer sect disciples in front of him, Elder Lee Jae could not help but look astounded and almost could not disbelieve his eyes. He is sure of the impossible mission and the outcome, and yet he could not believe that the group could still come back unharmed after the mission was given to them.

So how could he not feel shocked right at this moment?

This one-way mission was given by the inner sect and seems to be very important. So they dare not neglect it no matter what. But now that the supposed missing disciples have returned made Elder Lee Jae feels a bit troubled.

As he looks at the remaining 5 people, a fit of anger appears on his face.

This is because there is only one possibility that these guys are able to come back. And that is… they did not go and complete the mission.
