Chapter 942: Chapter 943: The Japanese Spy
Kunlun.
Inside the Great Hall.
Dozens of Kunlun Elders gathered, many familiar faces were present!
"Look quickly, it’s the young master!" An elder with sharp eyes spotted Ye Wudao’s figure, his face brimming with excitement.
"The young master has returned!"
"The young mistress has also returned this time!"
"Greetings to the young mistress!" Yan Donglai and Li Dagang noticed Ye Wudao, and also saw a breathtaking figure—it was Su Yueli. They bowed respectfully to her.
"Greetings, senior brothers!" Su Yueli returned the salute politely.
Ye Wudao’s piercing black eyes swept toward the seemingly empty space above Kunlun Great Hall!
The Kunlun Bell, once suspended high, had been abruptly stolen.
"Senior brothers, what’s going on here?" Ye Wudao spoke coldly, his voice frigid as ice from millennia past. The entire Great Hall’s temperature plummeted dramatically!
Everyone couldn’t help but shudder!
Off to the side, Yan Donglai stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Young master! The Kunlun Bell was still here a week ago. It suddenly vanished during this week, and its whereabouts remain unknown!"
"Second brother, focus on the key points!" Zhao Qingtian said.
Yan Donglai nodded and continued. "A week ago, Kunlun held a grand entrance ceremony for new disciples right here in the Great Hall! A total of 972 new disciples participated!"
"An entrance ceremony?" Ye Wudao’s gaze showed a hint of surprise.
"Yes, the entrance ceremony has been a long-standing tradition in Kunlun, never changed," Yan Donglai replied.
"Husband, perhaps the issue lies within that entrance ceremony!" Su Yueli suggested.
"Summon all the new disciples!" Ye Wudao commanded decisively.
"Understood!" Yan Donglai didn’t dare delay and immediately went to carry out the order.
A short while later.
Upon hearing of Ye Wudao’s return, over 900 new Kunlun disciples rushed excitedly to the Great Hall, eager to catch a glimpse of him.
"Did you hear? The Kunlun young master has returned!"
"Are you talking about Ye Wudao, the young master? He’s my idol!"
"I joined Kunlun to follow Ye Wudao as the young master!" Many of the young disciples whispered amongst themselves, unable to conceal their excitement.
"Silence!" At that moment, Zhao Qingtian shouted angrily.
The entire hall instantly quieted down!
Ye Wudao stepped before the new disciples, draped in black, exuding an air of mystery, cold detachment, and decisive determination!
"So, he’s the legendary Kunlun young master, Lord Ye Wudao?"
"Greetings to the young master!" All the new Kunlun disciples, brimming with admiration, knelt before Ye Wudao.
"Rise!" Ye Wudao spoke faintly.
The 900-plus disciples looked at Ye Wudao with fervent excitement, overjoyed to finally meet their idol in person.
"Is there a roster?" Ye Wudao asked.
"There is!" Yan Donglai quickly brought out a roster.
"Second brother, read it!" Ye Wudao spoke.
"Understood." Yan Donglai immediately began reading the names from the roster. "Step forward when your name is called!"
"Zhao Dadong!"
"Niu Yunfei!"
"Chen Wu!"
...
Quickly, all the names on the roster were read!
individuals stepped forward when their names were called!
"One is missing!" Zhao Qingtian said.
"Something is indeed wrong!" Yan Donglai pointed to a name on the roster and addressed Ye Wudao. "Young master, someone named ’Shanye’ isn’t present!"
"I’ll go fetch him!" Zhao Qingtian said.
"No need; he’s already fled." Ye Wudao said. "Investigate his background!"
"Right away!" Zhao Qingtian nodded and quickly left at his fastest pace.
Time passed second by second.
Half an hour later.
"Young master, it’s been uncovered!" Zhao Qingtian returned, his face filled with anger. "This Shanye is not from Dragon Country but a spy from Fu Sang, part of the Koga Ninja Clan!"
Fu Sang infiltrator!
Koga Ninja Clan!
Boom!
The entire hall was in shock!
"Those damned Fu Sang spies deserve no mercy!"
"Despicable!" All the new Kunlun disciples were enraged.
"Young master, I’ll take people to hunt him down!" Zhao Qingtian roared furiously.
"No need; he can’t be caught." Ye Wudao shook his head and said, "The Kunlun Bell isn’t something an ordinary person could take away!"
Zhao Qingtian, Yan Donglai, and others lowered their heads, their faces full of guilt.
"Young master, forgive us!"
"It’s our fault!"
Ye Wudao shook his head and said, "It’s not your fault; it’s my oversight!"
After pausing for a moment, Ye Wudao added, "Long Mie, Black Fox!"
"Here!" The two replied decisively.
"We’re heading to Fu Sang—to confront the Koga Ninja Clan!" Ye Wudao declared.
"Understood!" The two agreed without hesitation.
"Young master, are you really going to the Koga Ninja Clan?" Zhao Qingtian said worriedly. "It’s too dangerous! The Koga Ninja Clan is one of Fu Sang’s two major ninja clans. It’s said they have several Unity Realm cultivators, and their Sect Master is an elder at the peak of the Unity Realm. Just one stomp from him shakes not only Fu Sang but parts of Dragon Country as well!"
"That’s right, young master; please reconsider!" Yan Donglai, Li Dagang, and others said with grave expressions.
"Heh, Kunlun’s Divine Artifact—how could filthy Fu Sang scum lay their hands on it?" Ye Wudao’s gaze turned fierce. "No matter who it is, anyone daring to tarnish my Kunlun’s treasures will pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold for it!"
