The old man glanced at them, and when he saw that no one had spoken, he said: “Then let’s draw lots to decide! That is the fairest way. Pick three of you to lead the team. In addition, you will also pick the Venerables that will go on this task!” He stood up holding his crutch, then he glanced at them and said:” If there is nothing important, don’t disturb me.” As soon as he had spoken, he strode out.

When everyone saw this, all they could do was do as he had instructed. Finally, three people were selected by drawing lots. The three people who drew lots with the word ‘Go’ written on it sighed inwardly and looked at each other then left to make the arrangements.

While Feng Jiu was still inside the cave dwelling searching around, she heard movement outside and stepped into space immediately.

Since she was unable to find it, she would hide in space and see where the old man hid things. Otherwise, she didn’t know when she would get a clue.

The old man opened the stone door and walked in. Once inside, he felt the wind inside the cave dwelling and his footsteps paused. His cold eyes flashed and he glanced around his surroundings but he found nothing.

His eyes passed quietly over every place inside the cave dwelling and also checked over some details. His brows furrowed slightly and a voice containing spirit energy drifted outside.

“Has anyone been here earlier?”

The two cultivators who were standing guard outside were startled. They looked back and bowed in the direction of the cave dwelling quickly and said: “Sect Master,no one has been here.”

Upon hearing this, the old man’s slightly furrowed brows didn’t relax, but he continued to ask: “Has there been any movement around here after I left?” “No.” The two guards said in unison.

In space, Feng Jiu’s eyes flashed slightly as she listened to the voices outside. After he left, naturally there had been no movement outside, as she was already lurking around the cave dwelling before he left.

But, she had been so cautious, yet this old man was still able to detect that someone had come in. She had to be more vigilant in light of his sharp awareness.

In space, she could only release a subtle ray of spirit intent to detect everything that was going on outside. However, now that the old man was inside the cave dwelling again, their close distance was a different situation to her previous situation when she was outside the cave dwelling. Therefore, she could only withdraw her ray of spirit intent.

Once that ray of spirit intent had been withdrawn, she had no knowledge of anything outside of space. She breathed out softly and realised that she had been holding her breath. At this moment, she relaxed. She felt that this matter was getting trickier.

With that old man’s cultivation level, if she kept releasing her spirit intent, he would definitely discover her. However, if she didn’t release her spirit intent to find out what was going on outside, she would know nothing.

What’s more, she was still unable to find those two things inside the cave dwelling after searching for so long. She really didn’t know where he could have hidden those things.

Inside the cave dwelling, the old man opened the door and stood on the edge of the cliff looking at the sky outside with his hands behind his back deep in thought. After a while, he raised his breath and went down the cliff.

After a while, Feng Jiu had calmed down in space, and she carefully released a ray of spirit intent to explore the movement outside. She just happened to see the old man going down the cliff. She was slightly surprised and wondered what the old man was up to. However, not long after, he came back up then closed the stone door, and returned to the cave dwelling to sit down..
