1305 Targeted Together
Elder Duan gently pushed Situ Lin away and patted her shoulder to comfort her.
“You were also hunted down on the way?” Elder Duan asked Kong Minghao.
“Also?”
Kong Minghao was shocked. “Master, were the other disciples also being hunted down by the Biluo Sect?”
Elder Duan sighed slightly and there was a hint of anger in his old eyes. “Not only the Biluo Sect, but the Dual Polarity Sect and the Silver Moon Sect are also involved. They seem to have reached an agreement.”
!!“Then the disciples of our Octagon Sect…” Kong Minghao’s face turned pale and he clenched his fists tightly.
“Initial estimation is that more than thirty people have already died.” Elder Duan said with a heavy expression.
The number of people from each of the five major sects who entered the mystic realm was a hundred. More than thirty people had already died in less than ten days after entering the mystic realm. It could be said that they had suffered heavy losses.
Hearing this number, Kong Minghao and the others were furious yet helpless.
Ever since the Octagon Sect was secretly schemed against by the Biluo Sect ten years ago and lost several higher-ups at once, they had been suppressed by the other four sects.
Now, the Biluo Sect couldn’t even be bothered to hide it. They were truly detestable!
However, no matter how much hatred Elder Duan had in his heart, he couldn’t change the situation he was facing right now.
The only thing he could do now was to protect these surviving disciples.
“Master, I’m not talking about the Biluo Sect, but Senior Brother Kong and the others. They all want me to die!”
Seeing that Elder Duan’s focus was wrong, Situ Lin immediately started making a fuss in dissatisfaction.
“It’s this woman. Senior Brother Kong and the others want to push me to my death for this woman. Master, you must stand up for me!” Situ Lin pointed at Lu Zijia, who was standing at the back and leaning lazily against a tree, and complained angrily.
Lu Zijia, who was called out, raised her eyebrows slightly with a calm expression, making it impossible to see what she was thinking in her mind at all.
Elder Duan looked in the direction Situ Lin was pointing at and his expression suddenly changed.
Seeing her Master’s expression change, Situ Lin immediately wanted to add fuel to the fire again. It would be best if she could let her Master teach that despicable woman a lesson!
However, Kong Minghao spoke before her.
“Master, it’s not like what Junior Sister Lin said.” Kong Minghao explained anxiously.
“Master, we were chased by the disciples of the Biluo Sect before. Alchemist Lu saved us.”
“First Elder, we were attacked by mutated beasts several times along the way. If it weren’t for Alchemist Lu, we definitely wouldn’t have been able to come here unscathed.”
“Right, right, First Elder…”
As soon as Kong Minghao said that, Luo Hai and the others spoke one after another, afraid that Elder Duan would really do something bad to Lu Zijia.
However, Kong Minghao and the others, who were worried a moment ago, were a bit dumbfounded the next moment.
“Alchemist Lu, are you Alchemist Lu?”
Elder Duan arrived in front of Lu Zijia in a flash and looked at her with a burning gaze.
Apart from excitement in the other party’s eyes, there was nothing else. Lu Zijia would have thought that this old man, who was at least a hundred years old, liked her!
Lu Zijia nodded slightly. “What can I do for you, Grandpa?”
In fact, she wanted to say, ‘Hand over the map quickly…’
“No, no. I just want to learn from Alchemist Lu,” Elder Duan waved his hand repeatedly and said respectfully.
