Chapter 270 Grand Elder Rey - Part 2

"Sect Master, I shall take my leave now." Grand Elder Rey said after turning towards an old-looking man with a hunched back, but no one dared to disrespect him.

He was the Sect Master of the Riverland Mountain Sect, Aldrian.

"Grand Elder Rey, don't feel down. Your disciples should be safe and sound. If you want, I can send a few Inner Sect Disciples and an Inner Sect Elder to search for them.

After coming inside a room, Elder Rey took out a white jade the size of a palm from his Interspatial Storage ring.

This White Jade is a very rare treasure that is used to transmit messages over short distances. It is generally called a transmission Jade slip. Grand Elder Rey whispered something into the transmitting Jade slip after bringing it close to his mouth before putting it back inside his storage ring.

He had just sent a message to his trusted and loyal subordinate who lives in the Kingdom of Endora. Its a kingdom affiliated to their sect.
