Xiang Sheng had imagined many possibilities about the identity of the traitor. They might be elders who held great power, or the leaders of the Luo and Wei families. However, he had never thought that the traitor would be the leader of a sect.
She tried her best to suppress her emotions, but the flaw she made the moment she heard the voice was still keenly noticed by the Lord of Thousand Stars Palace.
"Luo Sheng, you seem very nervous?"
The Thousand Star Palace Master stared at Xiang Sheng with a strange look, "Have you... met me?"
Xiang Sheng seemed to be frightened by the sudden question. His knees went weak and he knelt on the ground. He bit his lips and stammered, unable to speak.
Upon seeing this, Master Chang Yan immediately stepped forward and said, "Junior brother, you're being too imposing. This little girl has been training in the Wanjian Sect for years and has never seen such a big scene. How could she not be frightened to the point of weakness when suddenly being questioned like this?"
With the elders' blessing, Xiang Sheng's face finally regained some color. He knelt down properly and begged for mercy in a whisper: "My disciple lost his composure. Please... please forgive me, Palace Master."
Seeing her reaction so terrible, the Lord of Thousand Stars Palace couldn't help but shake his head secretly and put away the little bit of doubt that he had in the first place.
He was disturbed by the theft of incense, and he was in a restless mood and overly suspicious.
He could tell at a glance that the Wei family just wanted to weaken the Luo family's prestige and was taking advantage of the situation.
But then again, ever since Luo Qingyun returned to the sect, the Wei family has found it difficult to let go of the hatred of their disciple being killed by her, and the conflict has become increasingly serious. If this yellow-haired girl can calm some of the Wei family's anger, it might not be a bad idea to give her up.
The Lord of Thousand Stars Palace glanced at Master Chang Yan again, his eyes slightly cold.
By the way, it can also help to calm down Senior Brother's stubborn temper. He is tired of hearing about the blood image of the Heaven Mirror.
Master Chang Yan had been staring at his junior brother, waiting for what to say next. When he saw the change in his eyes, his heart immediately skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
"Brother Chang Yan, I don't believe this little girl is a spy colluding with the thieves. However, what Junior Brother Wei Qing said makes sense. The theft of incense is a serious matter and must be treated with caution."
The Thousand Star Palace Master's attitude was gentle, but his tone revealed an unquestionable tone: "I am proficient in soul-searching techniques and can minimize the damage to the soul. I will personally search Luo Sheng's soul and then use recovery pills afterwards. This way, we can have the best of both worlds."
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders of Wei Qing's faction all looked slightly happy. After all, the Palace Master was on their side.
"Li Wen!"
Chang Yan Zhenren's face was extremely gloomy. "The child is innocent, are you really going to be so cruel?"
He and Li Wen were both disciples of the previous palace master. How could he not know what kind of magic the other party was good at?
The soul-searching method and recovery pills are all just hypocritical and nice words. If Luo Sheng's soul is really searched by them, he will definitely be killed by "accident"!
"What are you talking about, brother?"
The Thousand Star Palace Master's expression also turned gloomy: "This is a matter of great importance and cannot be confined to minor details. How can it be summed up with the word vicious?"
I've already said that this little girl won't die, at most she'll just suffer some injuries. If you're still not satisfied, why not report to the Grand Master and let me give up the position of Palace Master to you? How do you think that is?"
After these words were spoken, the hall fell into deathly silence.
Master Chang Yan's eyes widened in shock and anger. He was so angry that he covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Big Brother!"
Luo Mingsheng screamed and hurried to help, but was pushed away by Master Chang Yan with a wave of his sleeve.
"Awen, in your eyes, is Senior Brother so unbearable?"
The bloodshot in Master Chang Yan's eyes had not yet faded, and at this moment his eye sockets were bloodshot and even redder.
When the Thousand Star Hall Master heard the word "Awen," he was stunned for a moment, then his expression softened slightly, but only for a moment before his expression returned to its cold and hard state. "The soul search is a matter that has been decided, and I will not change it. Senior Brother is a member of our Thousand Star Hall. He should always consider the interests of the Thousand Star Hall. How can he be hindered by personal feelings?"
Someone, come! Bring Master Chang Yan down..."
Before the Thousand Stars Palace Master could finish his words, he suddenly saw Tang Yin step into the palace and walk towards him quickly.
When Wei Qing saw Tang Yin, his face immediately darkened and he scolded her harshly, "How dare you, youngster, come in without even asking for permission. Do you even know the proper etiquette?"
Tang Yin ignored him and walked over to Xiang Sheng. Summoning her courage, she spoke loudly, "My disciple is being rude, but I have an important matter to report. Kui Yuan Zhenren, the Grand Elder of the Wanjian Sect, is visiting and is outside the mountain gate. It seems he's here to discuss the theft of incense."
The Thousand Star Palace Master's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately ignored the trivial matters in the palace and said, "Please come in!"
Tang Yin looked at Xiang Sheng, who was slumped on the ground, with heartache. Not daring to say anything, she hurried downstairs to ask for help.
The atmosphere in the hall eased slightly, and Zhenren Chang Yan suddenly took two steps forward, grabbed Xiang Sheng and pulled him to his side to protect him.
When the Thousand Star Palace Master saw this, he frowned but said nothing.
Incense is the most important thing. If we can really get the incense back, everything else can be put aside.
After waiting for a while, everyone saw a middle-aged monk with an ordinary appearance walk into the hall.
He swept his gaze over the people in the hall, pausing only slightly at Xiang Sheng. Then, with a normal expression, he walked to the center, bowed and said, "I, Kui Yuan, the Supreme Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, pay my respects to the Master of the Thousand Stars Hall."
"Kuiyuan, I know you."
The Thousand Star Palace Master smiled faintly, "You were originally the fourth guardian of the Demon Palace. How could you abandon the Demon Palace and serve a cultivator from a small sect?"
"I entered the Demon Palace against my will. Fortunately, the master showed me mercy and allowed me to leave the dark and join the light."
Kui Yuan explained, speaking of his master with a tone of respect, "I have come here today on the master's orders to pay respect to the incense. Palace Master, please take a look..."
As Kui Yuan spoke, he spread out his palm, and an irregularly shaped fragment was lying quietly in his palm.
When the Lord of Thousand Stars Palace saw the fragment, his expression changed slightly, but at this moment everyone's eyes were focused on the fragment and no one noticed.
