Chapter 445: Finding the Sect Master and the Elders

"But I think these branches are just disciples who survived outside."

Wei Xiang'an briefly explained the situation.

"Have you finished eating?"

Lin Bai looked up at the two of them.

"Yes, we have finished."

The two nodded.

"Then let's go."

Afterwards, the three left the restaurant and headed toward the back mountain as that person had said.

"Why do I feel like we've been tricked?"

Looking at the deserted jungle, apart from animal footprints, there was not a single trace of humans.

"When we came just now, I sent out a signal, one unique to Yutaixuan Sect disciples."

"If anyone is alive, they must be able to see it."

Lin Bai walked ahead with a blank expression.

Wang Yuping and Wei Xiang'an occasionally had to drive away some insects.

The next second, the three became alert.

"Senior Brother, someone is approaching."

Wang Yuping watched the figure in the distance drawing closer and was already prepared to counterattack.

"Is that Lin Bai?"

As the figure drew near, a familiar voice came through,

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow, recognized the Great Elder's figure, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great Elder, it is me."

Lin Bai quickened his pace; Wei Xiang'an and Wang Yuping exchanged a glance, put away the spells they had prepared in their hands, and followed closely behind.

"Lin Bai, it is truly wonderful that you have returned."

"Come, I will lead you to meet the Sect Master and the others."

The Great Elder enthusiastically patted the other's shoulder, his heart surging with excitement.

At that moment, a light burst forth in the other's eyes, as if he had seen some kind of hope.

Following the other all the way forward, until they reached the deepest part where a huge cave appeared, Lin Bai and the others finally stopped.

"The Sect Master and the others are inside there."

"After receiving your signal, they asked me to come out and meet you."

"Everyone is waiting for you."

The Great Elder spoke softly, leading Lin Bai and the other three into the cave.

Upon entering the cave, the scene before his eyes made Lin Bai feel even more heartbroken.

Some injured disciples lay on the ground, while the few remaining healthy ones were responsible for caring for them.

"Wang Yuping, Wei Xiang'an, go help out."

"Understood, Senior Brother."

Under the Great Elder's lead, Lin Bai came before the Sect Master.

At this moment, the Sect Master had long lost his usual high spirits; a few stray strands of hair hung down over his forehead.

His face was also dirty, and even his clothes were filthy.

"Sect Master."

Lin Bai called out softly.

Hearing Lin Bai's voice, the Sect Master, who had been feigning sleep, opened his eyes. Seeing Lin Bai, his face was filled with excitement, and he quickly stood up from the ground.

The moment he rose, Lin Bai noticed the other's leg was injured, and the other nearly fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Lin Bai was quick-eyed and quick-handed, catching and supporting him.

"Lin Bai, you have come, it is truly wonderful."

With the same words as the Great Elder, Lin Bai felt the other's hands, holding his own, trembling.

"Sect Master, what exactly happened?"

Lin Bai helped the other sit down and sat in front of him himself.

"Sigh."

"These people are survivors from the former Wuya Sect."

"After learning you were not here, they came to cause trouble for the sect."

"I originally just wanted to send them away, not to be like them."

"Who knew they would bring a few Divine King Realm experts and launch a sneak attack while the disciples were asleep."

The Sect Master spoke while wiping away tears.
