Chen Yan intentionally feigned surprise: "An intruder has sneaked in? This... how did they avoid the Mountain Protecting Array?"
Zhao Wuji shook his head, his expression very serious: "We do not know. The sect's Mountain Protecting Array is flawless, yet somehow this thief used some strange method to infiltrate without triggering any attack or alert from the array, coming in silently."
He paused for a moment, then continued slowly, "Now, the elders of the Outer Sect have all been alarmed. I am leading people to search the residences of the outer-court preparatory disciples, while several other elders have taken people to search important places like the scripture depository."
The people in the courtyard searched in vain and quickly left. Those searching the nearby courtyards also came out and gathered outside the gate with Zhao Wuji and the others to report their search results to him.
