869: Chapter 554.2 869: Chapter 554.2 Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin, their minds were fully concentrated on the base!
However, it seemed like many pairs of eyes were watching them, and these eyes felt familiar!
The two thoughtfully looked down but could not see any abnormalities outside!
This place was quite remote, and each time they passed by, they would observe whether anyone was ambushing near the entrance.
Once, a member of the Ye Family had waited here, and after their personnel entered, this member of the Ye Family had been ambushed by others lying in wait.
Latter on, they had sent people to track them, but had failed to catch them.
Perhaps there were still people ambushing nearby; however, when they observed, they had not found any suspicious individuals!
When Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin were observing, they hadn’t noticed a mountain cave near the cliff that could also block their Divine Sense from probing.
Huang Lei and his team had already felt the intense pressure of Divine Sense from high above!
They all patted their chests, thankful that they hadn’t rashly gone out and were hiding in the cave, otherwise, if they had been discovered, all their previous efforts would have been for naught!
The members of Huang Lei’s team were even more cautious, not daring to even breathe heavily!
They had been lying in ambush here for two months and would, of course, go out to find food.
There were animals beneath the cliff, which they could easily deal with using their mana.
After solving the problem of food and drink, they just didn’t feel at ease always hiding there, wanting to find someone to have a duel with!
In this uninhabited place, they couldn’t even find anyone to rob!
Luo Yaxuan shared his thoughts with Lai Jianlin, “Brother, do you also feel like familiar eyes are watching us?”
Lai Jianlin nodded, “Yes, but we can’t figure out who is watching us!”
Luo Yaxuan, “Could it be that the people inside the base have already discovered our arrival?”
Lai Jianlin, “It’s possible!”
When they entered with their Jade Pendants, from the outside the place looked pitch dark, but inside, it was a base brimming with golden and white glows intermingling, filled with abundant energy!
Once inside, they did not want to leave!
Huang Lei could only watch as the two disappeared into the place, helpless to do anything!
It was precisely because their abilities were inadequate, they couldn’t enter that mystical place!
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin landed in the base at the same time, both using Magical Treasures of the same level!
With similar abilities and speed, and moreover, as brothers, they were very in tune!
Arriving at this bright and bustling base was like entering the Immortal Realm.
The decorations were too beautiful, all credited to the efforts of their personnel!
The two had once contributed to the construction here, so naturally had their places to stay!
This time, they weren’t here to reside, but to discuss important matters with the people here, to conspire and create enterprise together!
The brothers had already discussed it; aside from their two families, there was also the Jiang Family, and they were a group.
They must ensure, especially in the Saint Master’s absence, that any of their businesses operated as usual!
The personnel inside the base might not yet know of the Saint Master’s disappearance!
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin arrived at the summit designated for the Saint Master’s residence, the main peak for meetings!
They struck the great bell there, summoning all the key personnel to the meeting!
Jiang Tang had once laid down a rule that as long as this bell sounded, regardless of his presence, it could convene everyone for a meeting!
He had already delegated some matters; as an enterprise, as a base of the Saint Master, one couldn’t personally tend to every single thing!
Each base had its responsible personnel, and each project had its leaders.
As long as the operations were well-managed under the leadership of these individuals, there would be no problems even in his absence!
He was merely the linchpin for these people!
Jiang Tang knew that his Supreme Elixir production was unique; apart from himself, nobody else could create it!
If he weren’t here, there would only be a lack of business function of the Supreme Elixirs.
It was a loss of a major source of rapid income!
At this moment, Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin were very clear that in calling this meeting, they must make things clear to the people here, undoubtedly aiming to have them use the Supreme Elixir cautiously!
They would also tell the outside world, that Supreme Elixirs would no longer be sold at auctions!
Auctions can’t let too many supreme elixirs leak to the outsiders!
They already feel that money is but mere data!
Good energy resources should naturally be reserved for their own use!
After the big bell rang!
Workers and cultivators within hundreds of miles of the base, from all directions, heard the sound of the bell and immediately dropped everything, abandoning their business and cultivation thoughts, and rushed towards the main peak!
Although the construction here is complete, there are only a few hundred people remaining, including those who came originally, plus a few individuals each family clan sent later!
They have not yet broadly taken on disciples, and all present are elites from the three major families and smaller family clans!
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin arrived at the main hall’s meeting room and soon waited for the others they needed for the meeting!
No matter how many people were here, this time when the big bell rang, hundreds hurriedly made their way here!
This meeting room could accommodate thousands or tens of thousands of people!
Each person had a seat with their name on a placard, and they sat down accordingly!
Everyone who entered saw that those convening the meeting were not the Saint Master but those the Saint Master had taken with him!
They were the elites among the elites of two of the three families!
These were two Young Family Heads; they might be representing the Saint Master in holding this meeting!
Lai Jianlin and Luo Yaxuan used communication talismans to hold the meeting!
It was like a microphone; they spoke into it, and the others could hear their words through a microphone as well!
Hundreds of people looked at them, some asking if they were the Saint Master, the one who called them together for the meeting?
Someone asked if there was an important announcement to be made?
Why hadn’t the Saint Master come?
Hundreds spoke into microphones, and their voices were a bit muddled!
No wonder they were so excited; coming here to undertake tasks meant the opportunity to be close to the Saint Master!
Under his leadership, not only could they improve their skills, but they would also learn many new skills and enhance their physical abilities by cultivating with many supreme elixirs!
The only downside was that they couldn’t listen to the Saint Master’s teachings every day.
During the past two months while they were constructing the base, the Saint Master’s teachings had enlightened them greatly!
While undertaking tasks, they envied and even felt jealous of those who had been with the Saint Master all along!
For example, the two before them were ones the Saint Master had favored, surely having received much more of his attention, evident by their significantly higher cultivation levels than the rest!
Faced with so many questions, Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin didn’t know which to answer first!
They exchanged glances, deciding to represent the two of them in the conversation.
Luo Yaxuan was the first to speak, clearing his throat and then slowly addressing everyone through the microphone:
“Brothers, no matter our surnames here at the Saint Master’s base, regardless of our ranks, we are brothers of the same origin!”
Lai Jianlin nodded in agreement without speaking.
The hundreds listening to Luo Yaxuan also nodded, choosing silence as they awaited more of what he had to say.
“Lai Jianlin and I have returned this time to discuss important matters with everyone.
You might not be aware, but when we accompanied the Saint Master on tasks outside, the Saint Master went on to another location with some others, towards the North.
Somehow, the Saint Master and those people disappeared in that place!”
The several hundred people in the room burst into a flurry of questions at the mention of the Saint Master’s disappearance, growing restive.
Luo Yaxuan…
With so many questions asked, I don’t know where to begin with the answers, nor do I know how to respond.
Lai Jianlin…
The questions you’re asking are ones we’d like to ask as well, but we can only pose them to the heavens.
Luo Yaxuan gestured for everyone to cease their noise and stop speaking.
Over the excited murmurs and agitated expressions of those present,
Luo Yaxuan said, “You wish to know why the Saint Master disappeared?
How to find him?
We wish to know as well, but whether the Saint Master is here or not, our first duty is to take care of our own responsibilities!”
