The Core Area of the Azure Dragon Sect was where the core elders and disciples lived.
This was a forbidden zone for inner sect elders and inner sect disciples, but within it lay a place that was forbidden to enter even for core elders and core disciples.
It was a vast palace, grand but not luxurious. Instead, it exuded an ancient aura and even a sense of mystery.
This was the residence of the Azure Dragon Sect's only Spirit World Master and guest elder,
Inside the great hall, Zhuge Liuyun sat on an ancient stone chair, still wearing that white robe carved with runes. The white robe concealed everything about him, leaving only a pair of deep eyes visible.
And before him, a man was kneeling on one knee. He was a core disciple, appearing only fifteen or sixteen years old, yet he radiated a steadiness and maturity beyond his age. This was
"Wuzui, how many years have you followed me?" A low voice came from within the white robe.
"Reporting to Master, as of today, this disciple has followed Master for exactly three years," Leng Wuzui replied respectfully.
"Unknowingly, so much time has passed. Time truly flies. These past few years, your service has been satisfactory. Now, I will assign you one final task. If you complete it well, I will officially take you as my disciple and teach you the barrier technique."
"Master, may I ask what this task is? Even if I must wade through fire or walk through boiling water, this disciple will not refuse." Upon learning that Elder Zhuge was going to officially accept him as a disciple, Leng Wuzui was overjoyed.
"Help me find someone," said Elder Zhuge.
"Master, what kind of person are you looking for?" Leng Wuzui asked.
"A youth around fifteen years old who has mastered our Azure Dragon Sect's Thunder Three Forms. This youth, like you, possesses Mental Power, and I once had a brief encounter with him. However, I do not know his name, nor do I know if he is a disciple of our Azure Dragon Sect."
"A youth with Mental Power? And who has mastered our Azure Dragon Sect's Thunder Three Forms?" At this, Leng Wuzui's expression shifted slightly. He couldn't help but say, "There is definitely no such person among the core disciples."
"That is precisely why I need you to investigate. Whether he is an inner sect disciple, or not a disciple of our Azure Dragon Sect at all, you must find him for me."
"As long as you find him, you can officially become my disciple. I believe this matter should not be difficult for you."
"This time, during the expedition to the tomb, I exchanged blows with the Sect Master of the Thousand Wind Sect and sustained some injuries. Starting today, I will be in seclusion for a period. I hope that by the time I emerge, you will have located that youth."
"This disciple will do his best."
"You may withdraw."
"Understood." After giving a respectful reply, Leng Wuzui rose and walked out of the palace. However, his expression at this moment was rather ugly, even somewhat cold.

"Yes, Junior Brother Leng, is there another mission?"
