These are the lowest class of people among the hundreds of inner disciples in Dangchen Peak. Their monthly stipend is meager and their practice is difficult. It is no wonder that they would become disloyal and want to switch to Tianyan Sect.
Xiang Sheng thought about it, and the paper in his palm instantly turned into powder and floated away.
At noon, at the 42nd courtyard of Kuizi at the foot of the mountain.
As usual, Gao Heng dismissed his attendants and went to the quiet room to sit down. Just as he was about to close his eyes and meditate, he suddenly felt something strange behind him.
Just as he was about to turn around, a long sword suddenly crossed his neck. The sword tip was so sharp that it pierced his skin and caused pain.
Gao Heng's expression changed slightly. "Who are you?"
As he spoke, he quietly retracted his left hand into his sleeve. Just as he was about to touch the sect's warning mechanism, he heard the person behind him chuckle hoarsely, "If I were you, I wouldn't touch it. You don't want to get involved in the affairs of the Tianyan Sect and let everyone know, do you?"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Heng's face changed drastically. He retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted and said angrily: "You! What nonsense are you talking about? What is Tianyan Sect? I don't know anything..."
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?"
Xiang Sheng's smile remained unchanged as he spoke, "Don't worry, I'm only here for the mask, I won't take your life."
Hearing the word "mask", Gao Heng's hope for the future suddenly disappeared. Without saying a word, he took out the mask from the storage ring and placed it aside. He snorted, "The Tianyan Sect is just a cover. I was just deceived. You can take this mask."
Xiang Sheng put the mask into the blood ring and then held out his hand: "Storage ring."
Gao Heng immediately became angry and growled in frustration, "This is a gift from the sect. It's a status symbol. Don't go too far!"
"Don't worry, what do I need your status for?"
Xiang Sheng urged his sword to cut through the flesh on his neck, but there was still a hint of laughter in his words, "This mask looks ordinary, and I have never seen a real one. If you are fake, how can I tell? It's better for me to check the storage ring myself than to lose my life. Don't you think so, Senior Brother Gao?"
Gao Heng's neck ached, and he trembled slightly. He shouted sternly, "You've killed your fellow disciples, and you deserve to be killed! Aren't you afraid that the sect will find out about you?"
"Check? How?"
Xiang Sheng leaned close to Gao Heng's ear and whispered, "After you die, who will see me? Even if you're not dead, do you know what I look like? Or if I kill you and immediately go to the Tianyan Sect, they will definitely protect me. You'll have no one to rely on in the sect, so who will stand up for you?"
Xiang Sheng's voice was very soft, but every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Gao Heng's heart.
He was not valued in the sect to begin with, and now after hearing this, he felt even more panicked.
Money is just external things, and the person behind it is behaving strangely. If he is really killed...how can he afford the gamble?
Thinking of this, he immediately took off the storage ring, "The master recognition has been released, you..."
Before he could finish his words, the ring in Gao Heng's hand was snatched away.
After a few breaths, Gao Heng felt a lightness on his neck and the sword disappeared.
He immediately turned around, but saw that there was nothing behind him, with only a storage item left on the ground.
He turned around and saw that the window was half open. Only then did he feel sure that the person had left and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He picked up the storage ring and recognized its owner again. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and smiled bitterly.
In the space of ten feet in radius, there was only the identity token left, nothing else was left.
Fortunately, the man kept his promise and spared his life.
Gao Heng felt relieved. He stood up and waved his sleeves to seal the window. Then he hid in the secret training room and activated the formation. Only then did he feel a little safer.
Now that the mask is lost, people from the Tianyan Sect will most likely come looking for him, so he'd better... hide away.
…
At night, the sky is clear and the full moon hangs high in the sky.
Xiang Sheng silently calculated the time, and when it was almost midnight, she put on the mask given by Lu Yushan and went to Zhaoshui Pavilion.
At the same time, Fourteen also wore Gao Heng's mask and set out from near Gao Heng's residence.
The two met on the road. Fourteen took off his mask and handed it to Xiang Sheng, his face solemn: "Be careful."
Xiang Sheng curled his lips slightly, "Don't worry."
A moment later, in the elegant garden in the mountains.
Hei Jue, holding a round plate, suddenly looked up and said, "Master, everyone is here."
Lu Yushan opened his eyes, flipped his palm, and an emerald jade seal emerged.
Then he made a seal with one hand and threw it into it, and the jade seal spun around in his palm.
Lu Yushan shouted softly: "Go!"
The jade seal suddenly shone brightly, and a shadow condensed into the lake beside the Zhaoshui Pavilion.
Xiang Sheng had just arrived when he saw the lake water suddenly churning, and a whirlpool portal with green light appeared before his eyes.
"Into the lake!"
A majestic voice rang in everyone's ears, and they did not dare to hesitate and jumped into the whirlpool.
Xiang Sheng followed the crowd and jumped into it.
When the last person entered the lake, the whirlpool suddenly dissipated as if it had never appeared.
