Chapter 238 Book 5 A break in
Midnight cloaked the Azure Feather Sect in tranquil silence. Mist pooled at the forest's edge like a patient predator. Two streaks of silver light—imperceptible to the average eye—sliced across the night sky and descended toward the inner sect prison.
Within the quiet halls beneath the sect, where echoes rarely ventured, two shadows materialized. Elder Lei Zhen and Elder Mu Tan of the Cloud Wing Sect, both clad in flowing grey robes woven with protective Chi threads, moved without sound, their bodies cloaked in strange Chi, making them stealthy.
Elder Lei Zhen, a blade specialist whose curved sabers had split demon beasts in half, was the more volatile of the two. Elder Mu Tan, a calm-faced manipulator of shadow Chi, had brought down rogue cultivators in ten sects.
They were confident.
Too confident.
