As soon as the Thousand Star Palace Master said this, Wei Qing and Luo Mingsheng both stopped in their tracks.
Luo Mingsheng turned around and looked deeply at the Palace Master, snorted coldly, and left quickly.
In a moment, all the elders in the hall left. Wei Qing's tense face suddenly darkened: "Brother, do you really believe what Kui Yuan said?"
The Thousand Star Palace Master's eyes flashed, "Do you suspect that it was the work of the Ten Thousand Swords Supreme?"
Wei Qing nodded immediately: "Brother, Kui Yuan is also from the Demon Palace. Maybe the demonic energy in the fragments is Kui Yuan's. All of this is directed and acted by Wan Jian Tai Shang himself!"
Upon hearing this, the Thousand Star Palace Master snorted softly, "If you can think of a flaw, how can I not see it?"
Wei Qing was stunned.
"That Kui Yuan is not a demon cultivator."
The Thousand Star Palace Master's eyes flickered, "The true energy that surged when this person used his skills was sharp and majestic, without any trace of demonic evil."
"Not a demon cultivator?"
Wei Qing was stunned. "Doesn't that mean the theft of the incense was really the work of the Demon Palace?"
The Thousand Star Palace Master did not answer, he was also a little undecided.
Wei Lesheng had fought side by side with the Supreme Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect before. He was indeed a sword cultivator, and his sword cultivation was pure, so there was no way he could fall into the evil path.
If it was really her who stole the incense, then the evil spirit of the demon cultivator in the fragments would be difficult to explain.
It was only half a day from the theft of the incense to Kui Yuan's visit. Nowadays, the traces of demon cultivators are rare, and it is impossible for her to find a demon cultivator to cooperate with in such a short time.
Otherwise, she herself would have an unclear relationship with the Demon Palace.
But such speculation does not match the fact that this person destroyed the Demon Palace stronghold two years ago. Even if the Demon Palace Master is more magnanimous, it is impossible for him to cooperate with an enemy who has killed thousands of his people.
Even if we take a step back, the little girl Luo Sheng was just an ordinary disciple who had only been in the sect for three years. It was not necessary for the Wanjian Sect's Supreme to go to such great lengths to rescue her.
After eliminating all unreasonable possibilities, only one possibility remained - the person who stole the incense was truly from the Demon Palace. It was truly a coincidence that the Grand Master of Wanjian Sect met this person.
That's why he just let the matter go and let Kuiyuan leave.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he always felt that there was a layer of fog in front of his eyes, and he seemed unable to see the matter clearly.
But when I really think about it, I feel like I'm overthinking it.
The Thousand Star Palace Master sighed softly.
The twists and turns involved are obviously not something that a simple-minded person like Wei Qing can figure out.
He rubbed his brows and continued, "The theft of the incense is an established fact. Challenging the Demon Palace now will only lead to a flat denial based on the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's one-sided statement. It's pointless."
Wei Qing's face turned grim after hearing this. "So we're just giving up like that?"
"The matter has not yet been concluded, so how can we give up?"
The Thousand Star Hall Master's eyes were slightly stern. "Without incense, we will lose the capital to continue negotiating with the Underworld. Why not try a different approach?"
"Brother, have you figured out a solution?"
Wei Qing's eyes lit up slightly, "What are you going to do next? I'll listen to you."
“…”
While the two Thousand Star Palace Masters were discussing how to deal with the situation, Xiang Sheng and his group had also returned to Changyan Peak. Accompanying them was the leader surnamed Luo, Luo Qingyun's father, Luo Mingsheng.
"Kid, are you okay?"
Master Chang Yan reached out to smooth Xiang Sheng's messy hair. Looking at her pitiful little face, his heart felt like being pricked by a needle. "Don't worry, even if it means risking his own life, Master will protect you."
Xiang Sheng looked at the old man's face full of guilt, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Master, don't worry, Sheng'er is fine."
Master Chang Yan's heart trembled slightly. This silly child was so scared just now, but he actually tried to comfort himself.
"Good boy."
He tried hard not to cry and waved his hand, "Tang Yin, take Sheng'er to the side hall to rest first. Stay with her every step of the way. I'll have someone prepare some tranquilizing medicine."
"Yes, Master."
Tang Yin knew that her master wanted to discuss serious matters, so she responded and took Xiang Sheng away.
After explaining this matter, Master Chang Yan turned his attention to Luo Mingsheng, "Brother Luo, please follow me."
Luo Mingsheng followed over, originally wanting to get closer to his granddaughter Luo Sheng, but he didn't expect that Master Chang Yan had something important to discuss with him, so he immediately followed Chang Yan into the inner hall.
As soon as he came in, he saw that the shelf in the inner hall where the Sky Monitoring Mirror was placed was empty.
He was stunned for a moment, and then saw Senior Brother Chang Yan raised his hand to remove the illusion array covering the roof. He looked up and saw a glaring hole in the roof of the inner hall.
Luo Mingsheng immediately realized that the matter was not simple and could not help swallowing his saliva, "Senior Brother Chang Yan, what's going on?"
Chang Yan Zhenren waved his sleeves and beckoned Luo Mingsheng to sit down. He did not hide anything and said frankly, "Just when the incense in the secret hall was stolen, the Heaven Monitoring Mirror ran away on its own."
Luo Mingsheng was stunned: "What do you mean by running away?"
“That’s what it means.”
A smile appeared on Chang Yan Zhenren's old face at this moment. "It was right in front of me. It broke through the roof by itself and flew out."
Luo Mingsheng looked at the smile on his senior brother's face, and his mind suddenly became a mess.
He also knew about the blood image in the Heavenly Mirror. Considering what happened today, the amount of information was too much.
After a long moment, he managed to gather his thoughts and subconsciously lowered his voice, "Brother, have you known for a long time that there's more to this than meets the eye? Were you pretending just now in the main hall?"
"It's not all pretense."
Master Chang Yan sighed repeatedly, "I was really angry that Luo Zhen had suffered such an unprovoked disaster. I almost told her about the Heaven Monitoring Mirror."
