Chapter 244: Three Days Later, Two Envoys

For three consecutive days, nothing happened. Although various forces were speculating about who caused that disturbance, none could find out anything.

Although some people saw Qin Xiao and Ji Ci flying in that direction that day, no one suspected Qin Xiao at all. After all, such a disturbance could not be caused even if a hundred Qin Xiaos were combined.

People had suspected Ji Ci, but ruled him out too. His skill with formations was extraordinary, yet his cultivation was only at the mid Body Integration stage. He had little interest in cultivating, and was even less likely to cause such a disturbance.

He recruited more alchemists and artifact refiners to expand the institute. With the entry requirements lowered and the pay high, quite a few people came.
