Yuchi Jie merely chuckled softly, holding a chess piece lightly in his hand as it gently landed on the board.
One piece after another.
That one piece in Tian Yuan was utterly isolated at the center of the board, seemingly forgotten.
Elder Lu stood solemnly at the peak's center, watching Yuchi Jie approach the Baiyang Sword Sect. He had not followed, yet he had not left either, instead lurking in that spot, closely monitoring the movements of the people within the Baiyang Sword Sect.
When he saw the third dispatch of disciples return, his stoic expression subtly changed. He stood up, not walking towards the Baiyang Sword Sect, but instead turned around, carefully headed up the mountain. After traveling several miles, he no longer concealed himself and started running wildly towards the Jade Ruin Temple.
Yue Hongzhe sent away the third disciple from the Baiyang Sword Sect.
