Chapter 1166: The Baby is Lost

At the Sword Sect, the disciples were all abuzz. Word of Brother Li's return spread like wildfire, from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred—it only took but a breath's time for the news to reach every corner of the mountaintop.

At the same time.

At the summit.

The old beggar was just about to head for the coastal regions when a clamor from the foot of the mountain caught him off guard.

"Brother Li has returned!"

"Brother Li has come back to the mountain!"

"Welcome Brother Li home!"

"Brother Li must have heard about the Sword Sect being attacked and the theft of the babe, that's why he hurried back!"

"Heh heh, with Brother Li here, none of those troublemakers who came to the Sword Sect will be able to escape!"

The din from below surged with the emotions of the disciples running high; the feelings of oppression and fear they had experienced while watching the Half-Saint experts take action just moments ago had now vanished.
