It wasn't that they didn't trust Lu Cang, but intelligence had to be verified by internal members of the Church. If they believed everything anyone said just because they brought information, it would be a terrifying prospect.
Of course, Lu Cang wasn't just *anyone*. Still, the Church's procedures had to be followed. However, the procedures could proceed on their own; they could just directly listen to what Lu Cang had to say first.
"This intelligence indicates that the stronghold of the Rose of Shedding Skin should be within the Chaotic Country territory, in a nation named Ailuotis," Lu Cang said.
"The Chaotic Country?"
Aside from the two major Kingdoms in Ruelun, there were indeed quite a few smaller nations. It was just that those small countries were too weak to catch the eye of the two major Kingdoms.
"Yes, the location should be right in the Qiu Nuohe Mountain Range," Lu Cang confirmed.
"A place we've passed through before."
