Chapter 128: The Place of Meditation, Big Harvest! |
A moment later.
She appeared in the Life and Soul Palace, looking at the completely dimmed soul plaque.
She was shocked: “How is this possible, his aura is completely gone. Could Zhao Li really have fallen?”
Two figures flashed behind her, also appearing in the Life and Soul Palace.
They looked at the soul plaques listed above, their expressions also drastically changing.
“My disciple has really encountered a mishap?”
Gongsun Zhi said: “Two elders, let’s jointly investigate if Zhao Li and your disciples left the Sect together. As it seems now, they may have encountered a mishap.”
Just then, a voice sounded from behind them.
“No need to look!”
The man nodded: “I already know about the matter!”
“Zhao Li and the others had discussed with my disciple before leaving. This time they went out with several disciples of the Supreme Mystery Sect to open up a cave mansion, with my disciple acting as backup.”
“Unexpectedly, all three of them were killed by a disciple from the Supreme Mystery Sect!”
“Supreme Mystery Sect, Jiang Yuan. Look up this name!”
The two of them were instantly grim: “Sect Master, are you saying Jiang Yuan from Supreme Mystery Sect killed them?”
The Sect Master nodded: “Hmm! From the message passed on by my disciple, that seems to be the case.”
“He was ambushed by Jiang Yuan and was hit with the Seven Murder Soul-Suppressing Nails. Before the eruption of the seven murderous intents, he passed on some information to me.”
Upon hearing the name Jiang Yuan, Gongsun Zhi’s expression shifted slightly.
Could it be him?
She suddenly thought of the man in Lin’an County, the man Li Hong had reported several times.
Upon reflection, she dismissed the thought within her heart.
It probably wasn’t him, it was just over a year, even if he defied the heavens, he couldn’t possibly have gotten this far.
Moreover, there was Zheng Kai, the Sect’s personal disciple, as a backup.
Zheng Kai was at the ninth level of the meridian-breaking stage!
This isn’t possible!
The Sect Master’s voice sounded faintly: “If this matter was indeed Jiang Yuan’s doing, then he must not be allowed to live. Since we have chosen to side with Qianyuan’s Imperial Family, we need to gain some merit.”
“It’s not shameful to side with a dynasty that influences the qi movement! Although Qianyuan Kingdom isn’t as powerful as the ancient countries in Central State, able to suppress the human race’s qi movement and dominate a region.”
“But in the Eastern Region, Qianyuan Kingdom is considered first-rate. It’s not impossible for it to slowly grow and dominate the Eastern Region, even if it is only secure in a small corner.”
“Therefore, in order to ensure that the plan to chop down mountains and destroy temples doesn’t go awry, we would seize the opportunity to secretly assassinate all the disciples of the surrounding major sects who are heaven geniuses, leaving no survivors.”
“Just like how we dealt with Kong Nian’s disciple thirty years ago!”
“Yes!” Gongsun Zhi and the others hastily agreed.
Several decades ago, the Human King ascended to the Sunset Sect.
After witnessing his power, they understood.
The rise of Qianyuan’s Imperial Family became unstoppable.
They have completely achieved the strength to suppress Qianyuan Kingdom, but just to be safe,
Over these years, the Imperial Family of Qianyuan Kingdom has been quietly waiting, never showing its true strength.
At most, it was only the younger generation that caused some conflicts.
Some ten years ago, as part of deceiving the major sects, even Dali Prefecture, where Lin’an County was located, had half its territory ceded to the Sunset Sect for autonomy.
After that incident, the major sects let their guard down.
It was only in recent years that the Imperial Family of Qianyuan finally slowly begun to show its fangs, causing some ripples.
Especially the Eighteenth Prince, his reputation has skyrocketed over the years.
Among his peers, he is almost invincible.
At this time, the Sect Master’s voice rang again: “Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder, you two go to Yunxiao City’s Heavenly Secret Pavilion and find out where Zhao Li and Zheng Kai disappeared.”
“If those disciples of the Supreme Mystery Sect are still there, make a move in secret and kill them all!”
“Yes!” The two Elders nodded simultaneously and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Supreme Mystery Sect.
Heavenly Pillar Peak.
The disciple guarding the soul plaques suddenly rubbed his eyes,
Then took another careful look.
Seeing the dim soul plaques of the three people, his face was immediately filled with shock.
“Not good, Junior Brother Jiang Yuan has fallen!”
As soon as the words were spoken, they echoed far and wide in the empty mountains.
The people who heard this voice were incredulous, looking at the Life and Soul Hall at the top of the mountain.
Placed inside were soul plaques of all the inner sect disciples and above, each containing a strand of their aura.
As long as the person is within a sense-able range, a faint light will flicker, indicating that they are still alive.
Once they fall or step beyond the range that this soul plaque can sense, it will naturally extinguish.
The next moment.
In the Life and Soul Hall.
One disciple after another appeared.
“Has Junior Brother Jiang’s soul plaque really dimmed? Has he encountered a mishap and fallen?”
Someone shook his head: “Not necessarily, I don’t believe that a heaven genius like Junior Brother Jiang Yuan would fall like this. Even if he left the range of the soul plaque’s sensing, it would still appear dim.”
“But the sensing distance of the soul plaque is very far. Even if he leaves the territory of Qianyuan Kingdom, we can still sense his existence, unless he goes extremely far away!”
The person who just shook his head said: “What about the small space? If he enters the small spatial world, the soul plaque will also lose its sense.”
“This is even more impossible, the strongest person in my Qianyuan Kingdom is the head of Mount Tianjian, a great cultivator in the Dharma Realm. Even he couldn’t open up a stable space, unless he can go further.”
Suddenly, a figure slowly appeared on the scene.
The people who saw him immediately paid their respects.
“Greetings, Chief!”
It was none other than Kong Nian. He glanced at Jiang Yuan’s soul plaque, then at the soul plaques of Liu Jie and Liu Rushi.
