“Yes, it is definitely an Ice attribute top-grade Dark Stone vein.
It is said that the disciples from the four families discovered it while training some time ago…” The Fifth Elder solemnly repeated the information they had gathered.
When they first learned of this news, they were all shocked.
Hence, they did not return immediately but took a whole day to carefully verify the information, which all turned out to be the same…
Only then did the seven of them rush back together as dusk fell…
Seeing the surprised looks from the Great Elder and the others, the Fourth Elder spoke again, “Moreover, from their conversations, we’ve gathered that this matter is no longer a secret.
It has practically become an open secret throughout the Haotian Continent!
Now, no matter whether they believe it or not, whether it’s the great family forces or those lone practitioners, they are all rushing towards the Demon Forest…”
“It seems that the Vice Sect Master is aware of it too.
That’s why he had us summon so many people at great expense to help us search for the snowfield!” The Seventh Elder remarked with sentiment.
“Elders, if these people encounter our disciples we sent in and bring up this matter…” the Third Elder said, frowning.
“Yes, if those disciples find out we used them, wouldn’t it damage our Divine Doctor Sect’s reputation?!” The Fourth Elder also expressed concern, frowning.
“Rest assured, there won’t be any problems!
Even if those disciples find out, it’s okay.
Everyone has their greed.
If previously they had to enter the Demon Forest to join our Divine Doctor Sect, now they wouldn’t be willing to leave even if we asked them.
I bet after they learn about it, despite their anger, they would still be thankful for the Life-saving Jade Plates we provided them!” the Great Elder stated.
He now admired the Vice Sect Master’s wisdom.
He had once expressed his concerns about this matter in front of the Vice Sect Master, who had assured him there would be no issues…
And the Teleportation Jade Plates were also distributed by the Vice Sect Master’s instructions.
Although it consumed many of the Divine Doctor Sect’s resources, it managed to silence any doubters…
The others, upon hearing this, also realized it was indeed the case.
If it were them, they certainly wouldn’t leave the Demon Forest at this time…
“It looks like all we can do is pray that our people find the snowfield first!” Elder Zhang mentioned.
“Elders, Elder Han has arrived!” someone shouted from outside at that moment.
Following the disciple’s voice outside, an old man in black clothes walked in.
The Great Elder and the others immediately stepped forward and greeted him: “We’ve seen Elder Han!”
How’s the situation?” the old man in black scanned the group and took the chief seat to ask directly.
“Reporting to Elder Han, today we discovered…” The ten elders rose and stood politely to one side while the Great Elder repeated the news brought back by the Fourth Elder and the others.
“Just as the Vice Sect Master predicted!
The Vice Sect Master foresaw a turn of events and thus sent me with a team of a hundred elite Jingwei troops from within the sect, who will enter the Demon Forest at dawn tomorrow to search for the snowfield!
The five of you will stay behind to monitor the Shadow Stone, and the other five will lead the hundred Jingwei troops, splitting into five teams to enter the forest.
Once you locate the snowfield, do not attempt to force your way in, but rather establish a security perimeter, forbid anyone from approaching, and wait for orders from the Vice Sect Master…” said the old man in black, glancing at the Light Curtain and addressing the ten Outer Sect Elders.
“Yes, Elder Han!” stated the Great Elder and the others.
“Hm, then I shall return first.
I and a few Elders are staying in nearby Fengye City; notify us immediately if anything happens!” the old man in black added.
“Understood, Elder Han.
Take care!” The Great Elder said respectfully.
PS: I have something on tomorrow, so I am taking a day off.
