Chapter 325: The Devil Sect Hears The Procphecy

"You will know pretty soon, Junior Brother. This whole mountain is soon going to need a new name."

"A new name?" Jia Lei Shan was a bit confused.

"Yeah," The man smirked, "Instead of Silver Mist City, it would be better if you call it Blood Mist City."

"Ah-ha-ha," Jia Lei Shan fake laughed and praised, "Senior Brother, your humor is still the greatest."

The man nodded his head.

Just then, he frowned and looked at the entrance door of the hall.

In the next instant, his breathing quickened, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes as the frowning changed into an expression of panic.

He immediately stood up from his seat and smiled at the door.

"Ah, Elder, you returned quite early."

Seeing the sudden change in the man, Jia Lei Shan's expression turned to confusion for a second, but when he heard the words from his mouth, a wave of fear washed over him as cold sweat trickled down his back.

"You seem quite relaxed. Did you do what I asked?" An old man entered the hall.

His eerie voice made both the man and Jia Lei Shan tremble in fear.

"Yes, Elder." The man immediately nodded his head.

The Elder then turned towards Jia Lei Shan and slightly frowned, "Are you Disciple Jia from the Southern Branch?"

Jia Lei Shan nodded his head and gave a respectful reply, "Yes, Elder. I am Disciple Jia Lei Shan from the Southern Xin Branch, and also the Leader Of Sixty-Ninth Outpost."

"Hmm," The Elder's stern expression softened a bit when he heard Jia Lei Shan's reply, "Good to know that you at least remember your roots."

Jia Lei Shan cupped his fists and said, "It's all thanks to the sect that I am standing here today, Elder. I owe everything to the sect."

The elder nodded; his expression eased even more.

He then turned towards the man beside Jia Lei Shan and asked, "Explain to me what happened."

The man nodded and gestured towards the Clan Head seat, "Elder, please have a seat."

The Elder frowned and shook his head, "Disciple Yin, I didn't expect you to act like this."

The man, Yin Shan, was a bit confused, "What happened, Elder?"

The Elder replied, "Don't forget you're a guest in this place. Even if you're ranked high, you shouldn't act like you own this place. That is the Clan head's seat, show some respect."

Then glancing at Jia Lei Shan, he said, "Disciple Jia, arrange some seats."

Jia Lei Shan smiled, "Yes, Master."

Yin Shan scratched the back of his head and shrugged.

He wasn't angry or ashamed. It was just how he was. 

After a few minutes, some servants arranged a table and a few seats for them, so all of them could sit in equal ranks.

There were elder seats too in the hall, but Jia Lei Shan didn't dare to think about them because then, he would have sat on the clan head seat, which is something he didn't dare to do, at least not in front of the Elder.

Once the three of them were seated, the Elder glanced at Yin Shan and asked, "Disciple Yin Shan, tell me what has happened."

Yin Shan took a long breath and said.

"Elder, you told me to come here and wait for Shu Xian. Once he arrived, we were supposed to kill him. But then, there were few changes in the instruction, and I was told that there is someone important from the Wu Kingdom coming to this city."

"They will be arriving within the next few days, so I was preparing the arrays."

The Elder stared at him for a second and said, "You didn't have to go into so much detail."

Yin Shan didn't say anything.

The Elder then asked, "Did you finish the arrays?"

Yin Shan nodded, "Yes, Elder. I already finished it yesterday."

The Elder let out a sigh, "There was another change last night."

"Hm?" Both Yin Shan and Jia Lei Shan were confused.

"I got a new update. A new prophecy has been revealed in the Heaven Oracle Sect."

"A prophecy?" This confused them even more.

"Elder, what does it have to do with us? We're too far away and out of line from the Heaven Oracle Sect. I don't think they will make a prophecy related to us."

The Elder shook his head, "I wish this were true. The prophecy has revealed a huge secret, and many of the higher-ups have gone to the Middle Heavens."

"Oh?" 

"Yes, also, some are heading to this place."

"What is the prophecy, Elder?" Yin Shan asked. His curiosity increased with every passing instant.

The Elder pursed his lips and said, "I don't know the exact words. However, I do know what it is about."

"What?" 

"Token Of Fate."

"Token Of Fate!?" 

"Yes." The elder nodded his head with a solemn expression. 

He had already expected this reaction from Yin Shan and Jia Lei Shan.

"Elder, don't tell me the Token will appear in this city!?" Jia Lei Shan's breathing quickened as a sense of panic slowly began to overwhelm him.

"Why will the Token appear here?" Yin Shan shook his head and reassured him, "If it was going to appear in this city, then why would the higher-ups rush to the Middle Heavens?"

The Elder interjected, "They rushed because of the place they needed to get to."

"Which place?"

"Don't know the exact one, but there's Silver Mist there."

"Silver Mist... " Both Yin Shan and Jia Lei Shan whispered.

The Elder nodded, "I know what you're thinking. And yes, this place could be one of the prophesied places."

"But Elder, what if this is not one of those places?" Jia Lei Shan asked.

The Elder shook his head, "There's a high chance it is. I saw two people some time ago, a boy and a girl, both of them had the mark of Heaven Oracle Sect and were roaming in the city."

"This…"

Just then, someone came into the hall.

"Clan Head, there's a disciple of the Gracious Sword Sect, named Shu Xian. He says you are waiting to meet him."
