"So, this isn't True Lord Huiqing?"
After a long silence, Kangyu Zhenjun finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question first.
After asking the question, he moved closer to Huiqing, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and looked him up and down, as if trying to see what it was that had possessed him.
Perhaps because he couldn't see anything, after watching for a while, he started to reach out and pull at people, pinching their noses, tugging at their ears, and making all sorts of small movements.
The sight made everyone present twitch at the corners of their mouths, while they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts how True Monarch Kangyu had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Was he just a fool with good fortune?
“True Lord, you can’t tell from this.”
Chengyuan couldn't bear to see his master's body being manipulated like a toy, so he couldn't help but whisper a word of advice, and Kangyu Zhenjun finally stopped and sat back down.
"Hehe, I was just curious. Where were we? Continue, continue, hehe."
Seeing his expression, the others present were even more speechless. Xuanming Zhenjun even rolled his eyes at him before confirming with Chengyuan.
"According to what you just said, the entire Tiancan Temple is now under the control of these people, and the fates of your abbot and several senior monks are unknown?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Do you know the origins of these people who have possessed bodies?"
"This junior does not know."
Xuanming Zhenjun: ...
Everyone: ...
"Tell me everything you know."
Faced with Cheng Yuan's complete ignorance, everyone was at a loss. In the end, Hu Heng thought for a moment and changed the way he asked the question.
Following that, Chengyuan gave another explanation, interspersed with questions from others. Through these questions and answers, everyone gained a deeper understanding of the strange events at Tiancan Temple.
Then came a few discussions: to stay here temporarily and make further plans after receiving a reply from the sect.
After all, such a big thing has happened, so we definitely need to discuss it with the sect.
So, those who had just sat down hurriedly left again, each finding a relatively safe place to send letters to their sect.
As for the troublemaker Huiqing, he was thrown into the flying boat of the Liuyue Sect and asked the people of the Liuyue Sect to take care of him for the time being.
There was nothing they could do; the Flowing Moon Sect suffered the fewest losses during this trip to the Xunfeng Secret Realm, losing only two disciples. Although the others were injured, they all returned.
The people from the Three Sects and Three Schools were extremely envious of this, and they were quick and decisive in throwing the blame away.
Sure enough, the fake Huiqing and his gang of lackeys were all thrown over.
Hu Heng looked at the row of bald heads and felt his eyes hurt.
Instead of saying anything, he quickly and swiftly applied a series of talismans to these people, including binding talismans, immobilization talismans, and sleep talismans.
Not only will these people be put to a deep, restless sleep, but their souls will also be locked away, unable to escape!
In the end, Hu Heng looked around and felt that it was still a bit unsafe, so he simply threw all these people together and activated several high-level array plates around them before he felt at ease.
Immediately afterwards, he summoned several disciples who possessed different kinds of fire and instructed them to release their fire to keep watch and ensure everything was in order before contacting Liu Yu.
Such layers of protection and checkpoints left the person who had been pretending to be dead, intending to escape quietly once Hu Heng left, helpless.
Despite his best efforts to stay upright, he was eventually completely overwhelmed by the various strange and unusual talismans and became completely dizzy.
At the very moment he fell into a deep sleep and died, the soul of True Lord Huiqing, who was quietly hiding deep within his sea of consciousness, also silently opened his eyes.
Looking at the thick black mist around him, the soul, which had been somewhat confused, instantly became clear-headed. He narrowed his eyes and then began to form hand seals, purifying the black mist little by little without leaving a trace.
As he moved, Cheng Yuan, who was guarding the Liuyue Sect disciples with him, seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up, gazing with surprise at Hui Qing, who was lying silently.
Unfortunately, he watched for a long time but did not see the person he was hoping for open their eyes, and a look of disappointment inevitably appeared on his face.
Thinking of Tiancan Temple now, he felt even more saddened. He could only hope that the abbot and his fellow monks would persevere and that nothing bad would happen.
And what about my fellow disciples and nephews in the temple? I wonder how they are doing. Sigh.
Meanwhile, as Cheng Yuan sighed and lamented, his fellow disciples, whom he was worried about, were secretly hiding in a corner with wide eyes, thanks to Xiao Tiandao's unobtrusive help.
Watching those who had possessed bodies hurriedly lead their lackeys into the secret realm of the Heavenly Silkworm Temple, which had only recently been repaired, they saw them in a panic.
"Senior brother, these people are actually hiding in our secret realm."
Until the last lackey entered the secret realm, the gap in the secret realm closed again. One of the disciples of the Heavenly Silkworm Temple, with bloodshot eyes, said to the leader in disbelief.
His tense body looked as if he was about to rush out and do something at any moment.
The leader, who was also the chief disciple of Huineng Zhenjun, the abbot of Tiancan Temple, immediately went over and restrained the man while simultaneously sending a telepathic message to the other disciples present: 'Don't speak yet.'
The sternness of the voice caused all the disciples present to obediently hold their breath and concentrate, daring not to make the slightest sound.
Sure enough, the secret realm that had been closed suddenly opened again, and a person who had possessed another body emerged. He carefully surveyed the surroundings and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was around.
He then took out a communication jade tablet, seemingly to contact someone. After finishing the call, he didn't go back, but instead stayed at the entrance of the secret realm.
Before long, Cheng Yuan and the others saw a cloud of black mist carrying two people rushing towards them.
Upon seeing this, the person who had possessed the body went forward with an even more respectful expression, clearly indicating that they were in charge.
Then, I don't know what they said, but they went into the secret realm together.
Just as they were about to enter the secret realm, Cheng Yuan finally saw the faces of the two people clearly. They were none other than Fang Ruiyi, the young leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and Wen Jianxi, the daughter of the Wen Sect Master of the Tianyan Sect.
Instantly, Cheng Yuan couldn't help but start to speculate about conspiracies, and even began to worry about Cheng Yuan and his group who had gone to the Xunfeng Secret Realm.
They wanted to exchange messages, but were afraid of being discovered by the fake Huiqing, so they could only pray anxiously.
Anxious and worried, Cheng Yuan couldn't help but secretly leave the vicinity and send a telepathic message to Cheng Yuan, pretending to chat casually.
At the same time, the four sects and three schools also received reports from the Xunfeng Secret Realm.
Upon learning of the appearance of the Demon Race, the Tianyan Sect, Tiancan Temple, and the Loose Cultivator Alliance all discovered that Demon Race spies had infiltrated their ranks. Apart from the Liuyue Sect, which remained relatively calm, the other three sects and schools were in an uproar.
After the uproar, everyone began to investigate themselves, worried that their sects had been infiltrated by demon spies. As for how many they would find, that depended on their abilities.
Of course, the four sects and three schools did not forget, and sent more leaders to the Xunfeng Secret Realm, after all, there was still the Heavenly Silkworm Temple waiting for them.
