"The life tablets of all the disciples who went to Qingyan Sect were shattered!"
The disciple, his face clear, said, "Moreover, not a single person has returned yet!"
"What? Impossible!"
Upon hearing this, one of the elders immediately stood up, his voice filled with anxiety, "Where is Sheng'er?"
"Reporting to Fifth Elder, he hasn't returned yet either." The disciple lowered his head, not daring to look at the Fifth Elder's face.
"I don't believe Sheng'er will be alright!"
The Fifth Elder could no longer stand still and immediately got up and rushed towards the room where the life tablets of his personal disciples were kept.
Even though he kept praying that it wasn't true, the reality was so despairing: the life tablet belonging to Senior Brother Bai was truly shattered.
"No... Sheng'er, it can't be, this isn't real!"
The Fifth Elder stepped forward, his hands trembling as he held the shards in his palms. Tears fell onto the shards one by one. He then clenched his fist tightly, his eyes bloodshot as he turned back and said coldly, "Who? Who killed my Sheng'er?"
The Fifth Elder had no children in his life. Although Bai Zhisheng was nominally his disciple, he had always raised him as his son and devoted a great deal of effort to him.
Now that he's dead, he'll have nothing left. How could he not hate that?
"I don't know, no one has come back."
The disciple took a deep breath before whispering, "Could...could it be that everyone died in the Qingyan Sect's trial grounds?"
"Bang!"
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder slammed his hand heavily on the table beside him, shattering it into pieces. He roared angrily, "Qingyan Sect, I, Chen Wengao, swear I will never let you get away with this! I will make you pay for your blood debt!"
"Damn it, the plan was supposed to be foolproof, something must have gone wrong."
The direct disciples are the ones the main sect has invested a great deal of effort in; the death of each one is a huge loss. The other high-ranking members are also quite upset. "Investigate! Investigate immediately! If we find out who helped the Qingyan Sect, we will not let them get away with it!"
"yes!"
Each of the direct disciples is the greatest treasure of the sect. The disciple knew that the elders were furious, so he didn't dare to say anything and left quickly.
"Sect Master, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
Fifth Elder Chen Wengao had calmed down somewhat by this time. He put the life tablet in his hand into the box and put it away. His eyes were full of coldness. "It is absolutely impossible for the Qingyan Sect to find Sheng'er's body, but Sheng'er cannot die in vain like this."
“Sheng’er is not only your personal disciple, but also the future hope of the sect. I, the sect master, am just as heartbroken as you are.”
The sect leader of the Purple Blade Sect took a deep breath before patting Chen Wengao on the shoulder and saying, "But this matter is of great importance. Everything we have done must not be exposed, otherwise the sect will become the target of everyone's criticism."
"Yes, Fifth Elder, we must avenge this, but you must not act impulsively."
Other elders also spoke up to advise, "We don't yet know the situation of the Qingyan Sect, nor do we know if they have any leverage over us. We must wait until we have a clear investigation before making a decision."
"Very well, when the time comes, this elder will personally avenge my disciple."
Although the Fifth Elder was grieving, he knew that the sect had to come first. He took a deep breath before asking, "What is your decision regarding the plan to attack the Qingyan Sect's allies?"
"Of course we must take action."
The sect leader's expression turned cold, and a murderous aura flickered in his eyes.
