「West City, Qing Province.」
Chu Fan rushed to the Vajra Sect's sub-branch headquarters, only to find the two large, red-lacquered doors shut tight.
The nearby residents saw him stop and scattered as if fleeing a plague, as though a man-eating Fierce Beast was hiding behind the doors.
After a few moments of inquiry, Chu Fan's brow furrowed. Something had happened to the Vajra Sect.
The location in the city was merely a sub-branch. The Vajra Sect's foundation was on Azure Dragon Mountain, fifty li due west.
Rumor had it that strange things had been happening in the mountains recently. Vajra Sect disciples, while cultivating in the Body Tempering Pool, would have their meridians inexplicably shatter, leading to a violent death.
There were even sounds of demonic howls echoing through the valley late at night.
Now, all the disciples from Qing Province's city branch had been recalled to the main sect, as if facing a great enemy.
