Just as Prince Auten was secretly anxious, Master Jade said, "Sect Master Darby, where do you think that Beka came from?"
Darryl thought about it for a while before he smiled. "It's hard to say. If possible, I would like to meet Beka."
'No matter who he is, I'll get some clue when I meet him.'
'Fortunately, even though Master Jade was injured, the Wudang Sect managed to catch Beka.'
'Hmm!'
Master Jade nodded in agreement. "Of course. But you might need to wait for a while. I need to take my medicine first. Then, I'll take you to the stone dungeon at the back hill."
Darryl responded in agreement.
Prince Auten panicked. 'I've let Archfiend Antigonus go. When Master Jade brings Darryl to the stone dungeon and learns he's gone, he'll be suspicious. I have an idea!'
Prince Auten thought of something and hurriedly took a step forward. He said, "Master, I'll help you with the medicine." After speaking, he walked out of the hall quickly.
Master Jade and Darryl did not notice Prince Auten's odd behavior and continued to talk.
…
After Prince Auten left the main hall, he walked straight toward the pharmacy.
Soon after entering the room, he noticed the previous disciple standing in front of the stove, cooking the medicine and keeping a close eye on the fire.
"Senior Brother Graham." When the disciple saw Prince Auten enter, he greeted him politely.
Prince Auten smiled as he walked forward. "Go get some rest. I'll deliver the medicine to Master later."
"It's a little inappropriate..." The disciple hesitated and said, "Taking care of the Master has always been my job. How can I trouble you, Senior Brother?" Graham had a high position in Wudang, and he had never done such trivial things.
Master Jade nodded approvingly. "Okay. Thank you so much." Then, he took the bowl and drank the medicine.
After that, Master Jade stood up and said, "Sect Master Darby, I will take you to meet Beka now."
Master Jade did not forget to instruct Prince Auten. "Graham, no need to come with us. Increase our security and strictly prevent anyone from trespassing into the mountain."
He decided to be cautious because he did not know if Beka had any accomplices.
"I understand." Prince Auten responded respectfully, but his eyes were gloomy.
'Master Jade, don't blame me for being cruel. I poisoned you to deal with Darryl. And, if you must blame someone, you must blame yourself for your bad luck.'
Master Jade did not notice Prince Auten's odd behavior, and after a few more explanations, he led Darryl and Jewel to the stone dungeon on the back hill.
"Master Jade!" After leaving the hall, Jewel thought of something and asked, "You said before that there were seven grandmasters who joined forces to defeat Beka. Who were they?"
