"Greetings to the envoy!"
Su Heng and the other four bowed in submission.
Although the person in front of them was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and each of them was at the Spirit Transformation stage, no one dared to underestimate him, and their expressions and attitudes were all extremely respectful.
Ye Guchen, no, to be more precise, it was Baili Chengfeng disguised as Ye Guchen.
After parting with Jiang Deng at Wanzhang Cliff, he disguised himself as Ye Guchen and rushed to the Ling Palace where Murong Feiran was, hoping to find out some news about the resurrection of Venerable Jiang Deng in the Ling Palace. However, as soon as he saw Murong Feiran, he was asked whether he had found the artifact, the Chongguang Sword.
Baili Chengfeng was completely unaware of this matter and could only say that he did not get it. This made Murong Feiran very unhappy, and in a fit of rage he sent him to the Taichu Sword Sect, saying that if he messed up the Saint Maiden election again, he would be expelled from the sect!
So, Baili Chengfeng came to Taichu Sword Sect in confusion.
As soon as he arrived here, he saw five cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm waiting at the mountain gate in advance, and their every move was extremely respectful to him.
Um?
I heard that the Taichu Sword Sect has six peak masters. Including the sect master, there should be seven people in total, right?
Baili Chengfeng pondered for a moment. If he acted too gentle, it wouldn't fit in with Ye Guchen's difficult-to-get-along personality. Furthermore, if he acted too easygoing, these people might try to get him to socialize...
Therefore, the attitude must not be good!
After some thought, Baili Chengfeng frowned and said coldly, "You haven't even come to greet me. Do you think you look down on me and my master?"
"No, no, no!" Su Heng hurriedly put on a smile and explained, "It's just that the Peak Master is busy with something small. I will definitely ask him to apologize to you tomorrow."
Baili Chengfeng nodded, and when he was about to continue to make things difficult, he suddenly found that someone was sending a message to Su Heng through the communication stone. Because of his powerful spiritual sense, he easily caught the message.
"Report to the Sect Master! Disciple just discovered that Master Yunfeng's life plate has shattered. He, he is dead!"
Su Heng's expression suddenly changed.
Baili Chengfeng's eyes widened slightly. Huh? Is the Taichu Sword Sect so lively?
After settling Baili Chengfeng down, Su Heng immediately called the disciples involved in the matter to the main hall, including Ying Ziru who had encountered the demonic cultivator.
Since the disciples who were responsible for guarding the gate of Yunwu Peak were crushed into meat paste and their souls were scattered, they could not reach here, so everyone could only place their hopes on Ying Ziru.
Ying Ziru began to recount the entire story of how he met Jiang Deng and how he was robbed by Jiang Deng.
"Demon Cultivator Li Lailai?"
Peak Master Wu Cheng pondered and said, "I haven't heard of such a demon cultivator in the Ten Realms?"
If the other party is really a demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, he should be very famous. It is impossible that they have never even heard of him.
Su Heng also frowned. "Who exactly is this Li Lailai demon cultivator? What grudge does he have against Master Yunfeng, and why does he want to kill Master Yunfeng?"
"etc!"
Peak Master Jiang Roushui was shocked and said, "Li Lailai...your grandmother, this..."
“…”
Everyone fell silent at the same time.
Even the usually calm Peak Master Song Bailian couldn't help but twitch his lips. He said, "Could it be a pseudonym? Otherwise, why haven't we heard of this demon cultivator?"
Su Heng's face was extremely dark.
Not only did Yun Bozhong die, but even the 80,000 high-grade spirit stones that were supposed to be handed over to the sect were missing. If he were to find that murderer and robber, he would definitely skin him alive!
Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, Ying Ziru hesitated and said, "My storage bag was stolen by that demon cultivator. It contained tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones and several talismans, including an earth-grade talisman. Can the sect reimburse me for this loss?"
These things were what his father gave him for a whole year's expenses in the Taichu Sword Sect. If he couldn't get any of it back, wouldn't he starve to death?
The only thing to be thankful for was that he wore all the spiritual weapons given to him by his father, and the demon cultivator did not take away his clothes and accessories, otherwise he would probably have become a pauper.
"We'll talk about your matter later..."
Su Heng rubbed his brow and said, "The sect will give you a satisfactory answer. The sect competition is about to begin, so as a participating disciple, you should go back and rest."
If it were another disciple, Su Heng would naturally not have such a nice tone.
But Ying Ziru is the young palace master of the Paradise Palace, and his status is extraordinary. If it is not handled properly, it is very likely to cause disputes between the two top sects. I really don’t know why Yun Bozhong went through so much trouble to enter the Taichu Sword Sect despite his pressure during the last entrance examination.
Ying Ziru thought about it and realized that he had already signed up for the sect competition. How embarrassing would it be if he didn't win first place? Thinking of this, he quickly bowed and took his leave.
"metropolitan!"
Not long after, a man hurried in from outside the hall. It was Zhang, the steward in charge of the scene investigation at the Law Enforcement Hall. He reported truthfully, "After repeated investigations by our disciples, Yun Bozhong had his spiritual energy drained away by an evil technique before his death, and was tragically killed by a black tiger ripping his heart out. Demonic energy still lingers in his wounds, and it's incredibly dense. His killer must be an orthodox demonic cultivator!"
"Demon Cultivator..."
Su Heng rubbed his brows in a state of considerable headache. Could there really be a demon cultivator named Li Lailai? But how could Yun Bozhong be related to such a powerful demon cultivator?
How many shameful things did Yun Bozhong do without telling the sect leader?
"Where is that mortal woman?"
Su Heng continued to ask, even Yun Bozhong, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, died at the hands of that evil cultivator, how could a mortal woman who was powerless survive?
"Reporting to the Sect Master, this woman has been imprisoned in the dungeon awaiting her fate. Should we bring her here now?"
Su Heng's frown relaxed. "No need for now. Let's gather the elders from all the peaks in the main hall tomorrow and hold a sect meeting. Then we can bring the woman over."
"yes……"
——
The next day, the bell of Taichu Sword Sect rang.
The ringing of six bells means the convening of the sect conference. At that time, all the peak masters, managers, and elders of the Taichu Sword Sect must rush to the main hall of the main peak within a quarter of an hour to attend the conference.
If you arrive late, you will be liquidated one by one after the sect meeting is over!
The punishment may be a monthly salary fine at the least and dismissal at the worst!
At this time, the hall was already bustling with people.
The sect leader and several peak masters were sitting on high seats, with rows of stewards and elders standing below. Seeing that the time had not yet come, they could not help but whisper to each other.
"Our Taichu Sword Sect hasn't held a sect conference in nearly a hundred years. I remember the last time we held a sect conference was to elect the Peak Master of Yunwu Peak. What's the purpose this time?"
"You don't know? It's because of Master Yunfeng! Because I heard that he was killed last night!"
"What? Master Yunfeng is dead?!"
…
Amidst the noise, Jiang Deng walked in from outside the main hall, smiling and saying, "Hey! How could you not invite me to such a lively sect conference?"
