Turning to look at Pei Fan, the Sea Lord coldly ordered, "I'll give you three months to investigate the cause, or I'll be beheaded."
"Thank you, Lord Sea! I will definitely not let you down." Pei Fan said respectfully, then bowed and left the hall. He also wanted to know who had the ability to break the formation he had set up.
At this time, two more monks who escaped from the underwater cage were brought in by the guards.
"Your Majesty, Sea Lord! We just caught up with these two monks on the sea. They have water-repellent talismans on them." The guard reported respectfully.
The Sea Lord raised his eyebrows and looked at the two monks, "Tell me what you know, or I will search your souls." The other party had a water-repellent talisman and must have known that the formation would be broken.
"I don't know anything. I just remember being swept down to the bottom of the ocean and trapped in this underwater world. To survive, we had to farm to feed ourselves. I don't even know where the water-repellent talisman came from," one of the monks said, bewildered. The moment he opened the talisman, his head buzzed, and he forgot everything that had happened during that time. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall it. He asked his companions, and they were in the same situation.
"That's right, sir. We really don't remember it." Another monk nodded in agreement.
The Sea Lord's face became even gloomier. He raised his hand and the soul of one of the cultivators flew out of his body and into his hand.
After a long moment, the Sea Lord's face turned grim as he crushed the soul in his hand. "What a cunning scheme! You've tampered with the water-repellent talisman. No matter who you are, if I find out, I'll crush you to dust."
After flying for about ten days, Su Jinyue and the other three finally arrived at the territory of the Dunshi Immortal Palace. Although the flying sword was fast, it was obviously not as fast as the spaceship.
"Let's rest for a while before returning to the sect," Luo Qianao said tiredly. Once inside the Secluded Immortal Palace, they could no longer use their flying swords and could only walk. They had been traveling constantly these past few days and were practically exhausted.
"Okay!" Su Jinyue and the other two responded. They were indeed a little tired.
The four of them sat down on the side of the road, took out some water and food and started eating.
"Junior Brother Zhan, Junior Sister Su, I have been worried about one issue." Luo Qianao said after taking a sip of water.
"What's the problem?" Su Jinyue and the other two looked at Luo Qianao.
"I'm worried those villagers will tell others about Junior Brother Zhan breaking the formation," Luo Qianao said. He had been worried about this the entire trip. If Junior Brother Zhan's breaking of the formation were to be leaked, the consequences would be disastrous. He simply couldn't bring himself to kill the villagers he'd spent so much time with.
Zhou Zishuang nodded in agreement, "That underwater cage must be related to the four sea masters. If the sea masters find out that it was Junior Brother Zhan who destroyed the underwater cage, they will definitely come to the Escape to Immortal Palace to ask our sect to hand over Junior Brother Zhan. Then, our sect might hand him over in order to protect itself." Although she didn't say it, she was always worried about this matter.
"Don't worry, this matter will not be leaked." Su Jinyue said with a smile.
"Junior Sister Su, how can you be so sure?" Luo Qianao and Zhou Zishuang looked at Su Jinyue in confusion. Did she trust those villagers so much? Although they wouldn't specifically say this, if their lives were threatened, they would definitely choose to tell others to save their lives.
Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head, "It's not that I trust them, but I have tampered with the water-repellent talisman. As long as they activate the water-repellent talisman, they will forget their experience with us, unless someone doesn't activate the water-repellent talisman." But the possibility is very small.
"Junior Sister Su, you are really too smart." Luo Qianao smiled and gave a thumbs up. He really didn't expect that Junior Sister Su would even take this into account.
"Aren't you afraid that they didn't use the water-repellent talisman?" Zhou Zishuang asked.
"No, although those villagers have recovered some of their spiritual power under the effect of the elixir, it will take a long time of practice to fully recover. If there is no water-repellent talisman, they can only rely on their own strength to swim out of the sea, and the spiritual power they possess is not enough to support it. Therefore, using the water-repellent talisman is their only choice." Su Jinyue said.
"Junior Sister Su, I really admire you for taking all the possibilities into account." Luo Qianao looked at Su Jinyue with admiration. No wonder Junior Sister Su's talent wasn't great, but her cultivation was no less impressive than the other disciples. Besides her hard work, her intelligence was probably a factor. If someone like her became her enemy, they would surely be restless.
"Brother Luo, if you keep praising me like this, I'm going to find a hole to crawl into." Su Jinyue said with a smile.
After chatting and laughing for a while, they saw that it was getting dark, packed up their things, and walked towards the market of the Secluded Immortal Palace.
"It seems we can only stay at the market tonight," Luo Qianao said. After dark, the sect's mountain gate will be closed, and no disciples are allowed to leave the sect.
"I sent a flying sword letter to Master before I came back. Master should have received it." Zhou Zishuang said.
Gu Potian saw a flying sword fly into the room. He raised his hand and snatched it into his hand. He unfolded the flying sword letter and read the contents. A look of surprise immediately appeared on his face. "Great! They are all safe."
He stood up, walked out of the room quickly, and walked quickly towards the main peak.
Luo Qianbai was reading the news he had received from other sects over the past few days. The disciples participating in the Beast Slayer mission were all elite disciples from their sects. Losing so many elite disciples at once would be a significant loss for the sects. Therefore, the major sects decided to hold a sect meeting before deciding whether to go to the Falling Star Sea to retrieve the remaining disciples.
"Master! Master Gu Feng requests to see you!" A respectful voice of a disciple came from outside the door.
"Let him in." Luo Qianbai put down the jade slip in his hand. He also happened to have something to tell Gu Potian. This time, he suffered the greatest loss. Moreover, Zhan Yihan was the sect's most talented disciple. Losing him was also a great loss for the sect.
Gu Potian walked into the room and said happily to Luo Qianbai, "Sect Master! I just received news from Zishuang. They're back and should be arriving at the sect soon."
"Really?!" Luo Qianbai happily stood up, his face filled with surprise. Now that he was back, he wouldn't have to attend sect meetings, nor would he have to venture into the Meteoric Sea. He wasn't sure about the power of the Meteoric Sea yet, but it was definitely not to be underestimated. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, he'd better not venture into it.
"This is the flying sword letter I just received." Gu Potian handed the flying sword to Luo Qianbai.
