Just as they were leaving, something shocking happened within the Tianlin Sect.

The person originally responsible for guarding the soul jades of the sect's disciples suddenly discovered that the soul jades of the sect's leader and two elders had shattered!

This discovery was like a bolt from the blue, sending chills down the spines of the guardians.

Knowing that this matter was of utmost importance, he dared not delay in the slightest and immediately rushed towards the main hall of Tianlin Sect like a whirlwind.

Throughout the journey, his heart pounded like a drum.

Soon, the disciple arrived at the main hall of Tianlin Sect.

He stood panting in front of the palace gate, his face as pale as paper, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Then the figures of the Tianlin Sect's sect leader, along with a group of supreme elders and other elders, appeared before him.

"What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

Upon seeing this, the sect leader let out a deep and majestic voice, revealing an aura of authority without anger.

The guardian took a deep breath, composed himself, and then reported in detail to the sect leader and the elders about the shattering of the soul jades of the sect's disciple and the two elders.

After hearing the report, the sect leader and the other elders' faces instantly turned extremely gloomy, and an uncontrollable anger rose in their hearts.

"This is outrageous!"

The sect leader was furious and slammed his palm on the table, shattering it with a crash.

"How dare they kill my sect's leader and elders! If we don't avenge this, how can my Tianlin Sect maintain its reputation!"

The sect leader's voice echoed in the hall, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

"Immediately issue the order: anyone who provides clues about the killing of someone from my sect will be rewarded with one hundred low-grade immortal stones and an immortal weapon!"

The sect leader's command resounded like a thunderclap within the hall.

Just then, a disciple rushed in.

He informed the crowd that someone knew important information about the clues.

This sudden news surprised everyone present.

After all, the reward notice hadn't been released yet, so how could someone come forward with clues so quickly?

The group looked at each other, completely baffled.

Therefore, the sect leader immediately ordered that person to be brought in in order to further understand the situation.

Not long after, a figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall's council chamber.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that this person was a cultivator at the first level of the Immortal Realm.

He appeared somewhat reserved and timid, cautiously entering the hall before bowing to everyone.

After he straightened up, he slowly said, "This junior greets the Sect Master and all the seniors!"

"Sect Master, esteemed seniors, I have recorded the entire process of killing your sect's disciples and elders using the image stone."

His voice trembled slightly, as if he were filled with awe for everyone present.

Upon hearing this, the sect leader of Tianlin Sect frowned and said authoritatively, "Very well, since that's the case, hand over the image stone to me, and Tianlin Sect will naturally give you the corresponding reward."

Upon hearing this, the man felt as if he had been granted a pardon and immediately kowtowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Sect Master! Thank you, Sect Master!"

Then, he quickly retrieved a blue stone from his divine sense and respectfully handed it to the sect master of Tianlin Sect.

After receiving the image stone, the sect leader of Tianlin Sect examined it carefully.

After confirming that everything was correct, he instructed his disciples to take the man away so that he could collect his due reward.

Afterwards, everyone in the Tianlin Sect's council hall stared intently at the images playing on the image stone.

The moment they saw Yuan Zhexian unleash his Absolute Eye, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

The crowd looked on in astonishment; they had all recognized Yuan Zhexian's Absolute Eyes.

For a moment, the hall was completely silent, with only the sound emanating from the image stone echoing.

Everyone remained silent, seemingly pondering this sudden turn of events.

A moment later, the Tianlin Sect leader broke the silence first, his voice exceptionally clear in the quiet hall: "I never expected that this boy would be the Emperor Physique that those important figures wanted. What do you all think of this matter?"

His words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing a huge uproar.

The crowd began to whisper and discuss among themselves.

At this moment, a Supreme Elder of the Tianlin Sect stood up and said with a solemn expression, "This boy killed our sect's leader and elders. His crime is unforgivable and he must not be allowed to live!"

His voice revealed a sense of determination and anger.

However, another elder had a different opinion. He slowly said, "But if we kill this boy, and those important figures blame us, my Tianlin Sect will probably be wiped out in an instant."

His words carried a hint of worry and helplessness.

The atmosphere in the hall became extremely tense, with two completely different viewpoints putting everyone in a dilemma.

The Sect Master of Tianlin Sect remained silent for a moment, his brows furrowed as if he were weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he spoke, "The sect leader is gone, but another can be trained."

"If an elder is gone, a new one can be established."

"However, this matter concerns the future of the Tianlin Sect, and we must consider it carefully."

His words acted like a stabilizing force, gradually calming the crowd's discussions.

However, deciding on a choice remains a difficult problem for them.

"Reporting this matter will not only grant us precious immortal scriptures bestowed by those important figures, but we may also obtain powerful artifacts such as true immortal weapons or even golden immortal weapons!"

The voice of the Tianlin Sect Master echoed in the hall, seemingly stirring ripples in everyone's hearts.
