New Intelligence

After the meeting ended that day, the masters returned to their various wings and related the report to their students accordingly.

Back in the Crimson lion wing, master Huang Ju upon returning, gathered all the student and there all in the study room.

"You all may be wondering and curious about where I sped off to this afternoon",

"But not to worry, I was actually called for an important meeting which needed urgent attention", master Huang Ju said.

"Lately, we got feedback from our intelligence revealing that some members of the poison tribe have already been deployed to Sushi village", he said.

"So duty demands that we stop them before they make their move and cause havoc in the village", master Huang Ju said.

"True...", the students said in a hush tone.

"So starting tomorrow, as a form of preparation for the task ahead, we are going to intensify our training in order to get stronger", master Huang Ju said.

"Intelligence reported that upon evaluation of each members of the poison sect who were deployed, it was discovered that they possess great cultivation and solid martial skills", he said.

"Considering the big picture, we have just one week before we face these dreadful enemies. So no one should slack back in their training", master Huang Ju added.

"Yes master", they all responded with an aura of confidence.

"To gain advantage of time and know their layouts, certain delegates have been chosen to go before hand and obtain useful information about the enemy", master Huang Ju noted.

"So to this effect, Tan Ning and Gui Shan have been chosen for that task. You both will soon get to see other students who were also chosen for this task",

"So by tomorrow, Tan Ning and Gui Shan should ensure they both report at the academy's hall to be given further instruction and guidance", he said.

After the discussion, master Huang Ju dispersed the rest students and asked Gui Shan to wait to see him.

So while others were heading out of the study hall, Gui Shan waited behind as he was instructed.

"What does master Huang Ju want to necessarily see me for? Did I do anything contrary to what he told me?" Gui Shan said as others left the hall.

"Come closer Gui Shan, I said I want to speak with you personally. Is there any problem?", Master Huang Ju said.

"No sir, I'm just over anxious of the reason you told me to wait behind", Gui Shan said as he moved closer to master Huang Ju.

"Hmmm...Uhmm...", Master Huang Ju cleared his throat to speak.

"The reason i told you to wait behind is because your identity is at stake. I want you to be more cautious than ever, don't do anything suspicious and remember that no one else should set eyes on your wolf jade token", master Huang Ju said.

"Yes master! I will do my possible best and protect my secret", Gui Shan said.

"That's my student", master Huang Ju responded.

After his conversation with Gui Shan, he left the study room and headed for his chambers, while Gui Shan headed his own room.

...

Meanwhile, in the Purple cloud wing, master Yang Jun had also related the intelligence to his students.

Upon hearing this, many of his students were fired up as there is more room for improvement.

"I don't want something similar to the last encounter to occur, history must not repeat itself a second time. So I urge you as my students to train harder and get stronger", master Yang Jun said.

"To this effect, some students in our wings would be nominated to represent us as delegates and spies", he said.

"So I therefore appoint Chen Feng and Hu Mei as delegates to represent the wing", he said.

After making this known, he dissolved the meeting and requested that Hu Mei wait to see him.

Hu Mei knew something was in for him, considering the look on master Yang Jun's face, he could tell that from his look.

"Master, you requested to see me", Hu Mei said as he presented himself before master Yang Jun.

"Yes my student, it's something really important. Have a seat", master Yang Jun said as he pointed a particular direction.

"Hu Mei, I have a simple task for you", master Huang Ju said.

"I wonder what it is master?", Hu Mei asked.

"Starting from today, I want you to keep a close eye on Gui Shan, keep a close watch on him",

"If you notice anything strange and out of the ordinary, you should report to me immediately", he said.

"I strongly believe that he is hiding something, so I want you to ensure that you keep close surveillance on him", master Yang Jun said.

"Yes master, I'll do as you said and won't fail you", Hu Mei said.

...

Back in the Silver eagles wing, master Lin Fei had also informed her students of the latest development in Sushi village.

She implored them to train harder from the next day and prepare soon for a face-off with the poison tribe.

"I want you to know that this is not a time to slack back in our trainings, let's endeavor to get stronger",

"I must tell you that our opponents have greatly advanced in dark techniques and possess strong cultivation. Only by getting stronger can you battle with them", master Lin Fei said.

She also nominated Qin Feiye and Bi Yao to represent their wing as delegates. So after the meeting she pushed hard that they must continue their training that day.

So after the meeting, the students all returned to their respective training positions and continued training for the rest of the day.

In principal Ming's chamber, principal Ming is seen sitting on a couch. He was lost in deep thoughts and seem not to be recovering from them.

He was disturbed by the new move made by the poison tribe and the ring leader which his students once encountered.

"Who could their leader be? Who is the man behind all these scheme? Is he the one?", Principal Ming said as he spoke to himself.

...

It was finally another day, students in the various wings have began their training in preparation for the battle with the members of the poison tribes.

Delegates who were chosen to go beforehand have been instructed to meet in the academy's hall for proper planning and strategy.

They morning, principal Ming alongside all the delegates were all assembled in the meeting venue.

A total of six delegates were chosen; Chen Feng, Hu Mei, Tan Ning, Gui Shan, Qin Feiye and Bi Yao.

After some moment of silence, principal Ming spoke.

"Good morning students",

"Good morning principal", they all responded.

"It's of great privilege and honour for everyone of you present her to be chosen".

"I believe you are all talents in your various wings with unique abilities which prompted your nomination", principal Ming said as he progressed.

"But most importantly, I must let you all know that this mission you've been given is the key and heart of our success in the battle against the poison tribe", he said.

"I believe you all are aware of the fact that you may probably encounter some dangers during the mission",

"So I urge you all to work as one and obtain useful information as soon as possible", he said.

"Watch each other's back and ensure the enemy is not alerted", principal Ming said.

"In like manner, our strategy matters. Therefore, I'll be giving some few pointers on how to go about the mission", he said.

"Make sure as you approach the village, you are all to choose a single identity, either you all claim to be refugees or travellers".

"In order not to draw suspicion and attention, considering how well-fed you look; you'll have to wear costumes and beggared clothes as a disguise", he continued.

"And also, make sure you all secure a place after you've entered the village",

"Mind you, spies and informants of the poison tribe are all over the village right now",

"So your movement must be coordinated and not predictable", he said.

"Master! When we arrive there how do we know our way around?" Gui Shan asked.

"That wouldn't be a problem. Once you arrive in Sushi village, one of our spies would contact you and provide a place for you all to stay", principal Ming replied.

"But principal Ming, how do we get to recognize him and how would he also recognize us?", Chen Feng asked.

"Take this token, wear it around your neck", he said as he handed over a yellow token to Chen Feng.

"Only our spies recognize this token. So he will be at the gate and skillfully contact you guys when he sees it", he said.

"Immediately you all get a place to stay, you can they carry out the mission you were assigned and conduct a thorough investigation on their next move".
