After driving away the ragged immortal, the robed elder warned Jiang Chengxuan one final time before turning resolutely to leave. His coming was sudden, and so was his departure—leaving the relationship between the two shrouded in mystery.
For a moment, Jiang Chengxuan stood frozen in place, his brows tightly furrowed.
He had heard the hidden meaning in the elder's words—there was an imminent danger enshrouding the ragged immortal. If Jiang were to give in to his curiosity, he too would be entangled in karma.
And that danger, even the esteemed Nine Secrets Profound Sect dared not provoke—hence why they had no choice but to expel the ragged immortal.
Clearly, the ragged immortal held some ties with the Nine Secrets Profound Sect; only then would they have tolerated his presence, if only briefly.
"The secrets behind the Great Luo Canon run deep... and he's the only one who knows the truth."
But Jiang Chengxuan was not swayed by the elder's warning. He muttered to himself.
