The guards at the front got alert when they saw Alex walk up to them.
Alex introduced himself as someone who came on behalf of the emperor to check on the mysterious deaths that were apparently happening inside this sect.
The guards quickly called for someone important and that person arrived a few minutes later.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist. I am the third elder Yuo Jianshuang," the new person introduced himself. "I hear you were sent by the emperor to investigate the deaths. Were the past investigations not conclusive?"
The pale-faced man was quite lean with thin hair that he had tied in a bun. He wore a robe that shifted from green to blue from up to down.
"If it were conclusive, it wouldn't still be mysterious deaths, would it?" Alex asked while his eyes narrowed curiously. "And I wouldn't have to have come here either."
"I suppose that makes sense," the man said. "Are you from the royal family? You don't seem like a Lightsworn to me."
