Although Feng Piaopiao was a true disciple, Elder Mo not only had a higher cultivation level than him, but was also an elder.

Since the other party had said that, he naturally wouldn't refuse to save face, but that didn't mean he wasn't having some doubts.

This is the task of two Golden Core deacons. Isn't that strange? You should ask the sect instead of asking them.

Seeing that Feng Piaopiao, the true disciple, had not spoken, the two Golden Core stewards naturally did not deliberately contradict him.

Moreover, it's better to silence someone in the sect as soon as possible to avoid damaging the sect's reputation if the truth gets out.

The others didn't care much either. He was an evil cultivator anyway, so killing him was fine, and that resolved the matter.

After Elder Mo casually disposed of the body of the Lord of Azure Water City, the two Golden Core deacons took Li Yue's identity token and storage ring, and then turned around to bow to Liu Yunqing.

"Thank you so much for your help, young friend Zhenru!"

Liu Yunqing, who had been keeping a low profile since his appearance, returned the greeting with clasped hands, his eyes still lowered, making him seem unremarkable.

There was none of the fierce sharpness he displayed when besieging the Lord of Biyue City.

Elder Mo also noticed Liu Yunqing at this moment, and looked over at Liu Yunqing with his gentle and smiling eyes.

Liu Yunqing sighed inwardly. After exchanging pleasantries with the two Golden Core elders, he could only bow and greet Elder Mo.

"No need for formalities. Being chosen by the Ancestor to be the leader is truly extraordinary."

After Elder Mo finished praising him, he didn't stop there, but instead changed the subject and asked:

"By the way, young friend Zhenru, you must have gone to investigate elsewhere just now, right? Did you find anything?"

Liu Yunqing frowned and shook her head in disappointment:

"Nothing was found. If it weren't for your timely arrival, senior, I wouldn't have been able to escape."

After saying this, Liu Yunqing seemed to remember something, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face, and she continued:

"However, the place where that person imprisoned me was rather unusual."

Before Elder Mo could ask, Feng Piaopiao preemptively asked:

"Where is it? What's so special about it?"

Liu Yunqing glanced at Elder Mo and pointed to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, saying:

"It's in the backyard, inside that colorful stone."

Upon hearing this, the two Golden Core deacons instinctively wanted to rush to the backyard, but when they saw Elder Mo, they quickly stopped and asked him questions.

Elder Mo nodded and looked at Liu Yunqing, saying:

"Then please lead the way, young friend Zhenru, and let's go take a look together."

Liu Yunqing nodded and immediately took the lead.

Upon reaching the enormous, multicolored stone, Liu Yunqing raised his hand in greeting:

"This is it."

Elder Mo nodded, then turned to Feng Piaopiao and the others and said:

"Then let's go in and take a look together."

As she spoke, Liu Yunqing stepped into the colorful stone first. Her eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at her companions, while secretly remaining on guard.

It's daytime now, and there's obviously nothing to be found inside the colored stones.

Liu Yunqing didn't mention the space beneath the futon, and everyone else looked disappointed and prepared to leave. Only Elder Mo asked a question:

"You've been locked up here? There don't seem to be any formations or anything like that here. Haven't you found anything else?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunqing looked at Elder Mo with some confusion and said:

"With the city lord's cultivation level, you wouldn't need any formations to trap a junior, would you?"

"As for other discoveries, please forgive my incompetence, I really couldn't find any other anomalies."

Seeing Liu Yunqing's serious expression, Elder Mo smiled and gestured to her in a perfunctory manner, saying:

"I was just asking casually. If you really have such strength with your cultivation level, young friend, it's already quite remarkable."

"However, this secret room is really abrupt and strange, and Li Yue has not explained many things. I will look around again. Please do as you please."

This means to evict someone.

This was originally a matter for the two Golden Core deacons, but since the other party was superior in both status and strength, the two could only follow Liu Yunqing and his group out of the secret chamber.

After leaving the secret chamber, the high-ranking deacon looked at everyone and broke the silence with a hearty laugh:

"This secret room is indeed a bit strange, and it really should be thoroughly investigated."

Another deacon nodded and chimed in:

"Hopefully Elder Mo can find something out, otherwise we won't have any evidence and it will be difficult to explain when we get back."

Thinking of that vat of water blessed with runes and already filled with boundless water, Liu Yunqing smiled but remained silent.

Whether or not anything can be found depends on Elder Mo's thinking.

However, this is a matter for the Shangqing Sect. They have done what they could and should do, and they can't interfere with anything else.

Putting that matter aside, Liu Yunqing thought about the Guo family's affairs and gave Feng Piaopiao a look.

Feng Piaopiao understood and quickly told the two Golden Core elders about Guo Ming's situation.

After hearing about Guo Ming's situation, Deacon Gao kept clapping and sighing.

"Oh! What a pity for such a promising talent!"

"Alas! Those damned evil cultivators, they've truly harmed countless people!"

"What a pity! Let alone a small family, even large sects like ours are extremely lacking in disciples with such talent!"

Sighing as he did, after finishing his sigh, Deacon Gao looked at Feng Piaopiao again and said:

"The stolen luck is easy to resolve, and there's no need for any exorcism. Once the culprit dies, it will all be resolved naturally."

"The difficulty lies in the demon core on his body. It will probably depend on whether a Nascent Soul cultivator can find a way to dissolve it."

As Deacon Gao spoke, he patted Feng Piaopiao on the shoulder and said:

"If Junior Brother Feng were to beg your master, perhaps there would be a way."

Liu Yunqing glanced in the direction of the colorful stones, thought for a moment, and said:

"Alright then, Deacon Gao, stay and wait for Elder Mo. This deacon will come with us to take Guo Ming back to the Shangqing Sect first."

Feng Piaopiao nodded in agreement. After secretly exchanging a few words with Steward Gao, the group left Biyue City.

At the same time, after receiving another message from Feng Piaopiao, Daoist Jinghui of the Shangqing Sect changed his expression and immediately left the sect.

Upon receiving the first message that evil cultivators had been discovered in Biyue City, Daoist Jinghui was not worried, knowing that Liu Yunqing and Wuchen were there.

Upon receiving the second message, he panicked.

With his foundation built and core in place, how could he not panic when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Moreover, the cultivation level of that Nascent Soul evil cultivator might be suppressed, while it is absolutely true that his only foolish disciple only has the Foundation Establishment cultivation level!

If they were discovered to be suspicious, they could probably crush those brats with a single finger.

The more Jinghui Daojun thought about it, the more frightened he became. He quickly threw out a few communication talismans and then increased his travel speed again.

As it turns out, Daoist Jinghui's concerns were correct!

When he rushed to find Feng Piaopiao and her group as quickly as possible, what he saw was Elder Mo unleashing a full-force attack on Liu Yunqing and his group.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

Before Jinghui Daojun could think, he raised his hand and unleashed a devastating force, meeting Elder Mo's attack head-on despite being behind.

Seeing that the opponent's attack had been stopped, Daoist Jinghui was about to shout as usual to show the sect's prestige.

But Elder Mo, who had been stopped by him, was hit by the attack again in the next instant.

With a "bang," he was sent flying a great distance.

Daoist Jinghui was startled and looked in the direction of the attack. He saw those pale and weak little brats who had just finished their attack.
