章 391: Foundation (2)

"It must have been the demons," Xiao Qing said in a cold voice. "It's a long way from the Great Song to the Great Yin. The road is filled with danger since demons rule over the mountains and forests in wilderness. Even the Great Yin can't interfere easily.

 "Sect Master Lu, you might as well cut your losses and forget about it."

 "Oh? Department Head Xiao, please explain more. The Great Yin is so very powerful and filled with many masters, why would it be afraid of mere demons on a small mountain?" Lu Sheng asked.

 "Of course we are not afraid of them, but it's not worth the trouble. The demon tribes around here have all sorts of connections. There were even two empresses that were of rabbit demon descent. Combined with their exceptional skills in hiding and disguise, the amount of effort needed to capture them is not worth the reward," Xiao Qing said casually.
