"Follow me."
Thaddeus said as he entered the passageway and Davion silently followed. The passageway was completely dark and after walking for a while, Thaddeus touched something on the wall.
A bright light lit up the cave and Davion could finally see the room. There was a big chandelier hanging on the top which produced the light and a big table in the middle. There were many bronze statues standing near the sides of the wall.
"These are the statues of the previous Sect Masters." Thaddeus bowed at them and paid his respect.
Davion also followed suit.
Thaddeus took out an old worn-out scroll from his ring. He unfurled the scroll on the table.
There were strange symbols and characters in the scroll which Davion had never seen. Davion got confused seeing this.
Seeing the confusion of Davion, he seriously said, "I will teach you the meaning of these symbols and characters and how they sound. But don't ask me, why am I teaching you this."
"You will know about this later on. You just have to memorize the things I taught you. Every day, after the morning lecture, you will stay with me for an hour. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Davion nodded his head but deep down he really wanted to know what this really was.
One hour passed and Davion finally came out of the passageway.
"Those symbols and characters looked like some ancient language. But the Sect Master didn't say anything about it. He only told me to memorize it. What is this all about?" he sighed.
"Let's forget about it. I think I should go to one of the cities near the sect. I need to look for a spiritual weapon. But I don't know if I have enough spirit stones." Making up his mind, he took out the map given by Isla.
He looked at both these maps and found an auction hall in the Dark Moon City.
"In Mulberry City, I found out that spiritual artifacts are especially sold in the auction hall. If I want to look for it, then I can only go over there."
He came out of the sect and moved towards the Dark Moon City.
In the Dark Moon City,
A black-robed man with a hood covering his face entered an inn. He came to the keeper of the inn and passed him a strange badge. Seeing this, the innkeeper got shocked and quickly said, "Sir, you can go from the back."
The black-robed man entered the room which was behind the innkeeper. Inside the room, he saw that there were two people. These two people were wearing black robes and had lots of scars on their faces. They were sharpening their weapons.
Seeing someone coming, one of them said, "Brother, it looks like we have a customer."
"Hehe..if he doesn't have anything valuable then he can forget about leaving," the other person smiled.
The black-robed man felt really uneasy being near them. He took out his space ring and threw it at them.
One of them caught it and checked the contents inside it.
"Whom do you want to kill?"
The black-robed man said, "A person in a body-tempering state."
"Eh..this amount is barely enough." one of them said.
"But killing someone in a body-tempering state doesn't suit our reputation. Seth, what do you think?"
Sylas thought for a while and said, "We can take this task if we can finish it in two to three days. I don't want to waste more time on a body tempering cultivator."
He looked at the black-robed man and said, "Give us all the information about that person."
A while later, the black-robed man came out of the inn and cursed. "Damn, I lost all the spirit stones that I collected in the last 20 years."
"But it is worth it. Hehe..Davion, let's see if you can save your life. Even a cultivator at the middle stage of Qi refining state can't escape those Silent Killers."
Everyone in the Dark Moon City knows about those infamous Silent Killers. They are the band of two brothers in the middle stage of Qi refining who take assassination tasks. Cultivators who died in their hands don't even know how they died. They even had a record of killing a cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining.
Davion was following the map and was about to reach the Dark Moon City. "It feels really good to come out once in a while. The environment in the sect is too depressing." he sighed.
Far away there were two people hiding on the top of a tree. Seth looked over and saw a young handsome boy coming towards the city.
He immediately called out Sylas and said, "That kid is already here."
"Indeed. That person said that this kid might pass here this week." Seth said.
"It would be really tiring and boring if that kid didn't pass hereafter three days. I was thinking of leaving if he didn't pass here in three days. But he came today. Haha.." Sylas laughed.
"Let's get in our position. Even though this kid is just trash in the body-tempering state. We should not loose focus."
