They were surprised that he was a hall master! Would he not have overheard everything they had just said?
They could not help but raise their hands and touch their necks.
It was a miracle that their heads were still sitting on their shoulders. Was the Second Hall Master of Jun Lin Hall deaf? Did he not hear what they said?
Someone questioned, “When did the people from Jun Lin Hall become so low-key?”
“When have the people from Jun Lin Hall not been low-key?” another person asked. They had always kept a low profile.
“But isn’t Hall Master Qian the Demon Heart now? Why is he still so low-key?”
No one had seen Qian Jiyun because he was frequently away from Wulong
Mountain. They did not know that Qian Jiyun was also here a moment ago.
However, in their opinion, they believed that once someone became the Demon Heart, no matter how low-key and kind they might have been before, they would inevitably turn into a monster that killed people like they were swatting flies.
With the Demon Heart around, even if Jun Lin Hall had kept a low profile in the past, they would not do so now. They would definitely become arrogant. After all, they had a big shot to hold the fort.
Someone shrugged and muttered, “Who knows? No one saw Hall Master Qian become the Demon Heart. Maybe it’s not him?”
“Is it really not him?”
Everyone was puzzled. Was that not what the rumors were saying? There were even rumors that Qian Jiyun had a Flame Fox that could help him increase his cultivation level.
Although those rumors could be fake, they should not be too far from the truth, right?
“I heard that many families are restless. They’re about to target Hall Master
Qian’s Flame Fox. This must be true, right?”
“It’s hard to tell if it’s true. Let’s go, let’s go.”
No one was in the mood to drink tea anymore. They did not want to attract attention here.
Inside Jun Lin Hall, MO Aotian had caught wind of the rumors.
He placed his hands on his hips and said angrily, “What Flame Fox? I’ve never heard of it! That old fart from the Ling family must’ve spread this again!”
He had been searching for Master Ling over the past few days, but that old man was well-hidden. He had sent so many people out in search of him, but there was still no trace of him.
“The Ling family is about to be destroyed, but he’s really patient!” Did Master Ling not care about the Ling family’s destruction?
“Did you find out who that old thing contacted?” he asked his subordinate standing across from him.
“Third Palace Master, besides the few families we previously investigated, I’ve traced the leads from the sacrificial warriors and identified the Chen family, the Dongfang family, and the Luo family. I haven’t found any other information besides that yet.”
“Those three families sure are magnanimous.” MO Aotian sneered.
Those families his subordinate had mentioned were ordinary aristocratic families. They were not particularly powerful, but they still had some foundation to speak of.
“Investigate again. There can’t be only these three families,” he instructed.
“Yes, Third Hall Master,” the subordinate replied and left.
MO Aotian looked at his other subordinate and asked, “Ah Chi, what do you think Master Ling wants to do? What does he want to take from the Hall Master?”
Gu Chi looked at MO Aotian and said, “Third Hall Master, they’re not here to take something; they’re here to snatch, to steal.”
MO Aotian was speechless.
Was it now a question of whether they would be coming to take or to snatch and steal?
It would have been fine if Qian Jiyun was in Jun Lin Hall now. MO Aotian could have asked him what Master Ling wanted to do. But Qian Jiyun was not around..
