"Brother Hong, how is Xixi doing?"
In the confinement room of the Tianyan Sect, Hua Roumiao looked at Wen Hong, who looked dejected, and asked him a question, her tone full of worry.
"What else can we do? We haven't seen her yet, so we obviously haven't caught her."
Wen Hong, standing to the side, seemed numb, staring blankly into the void. When he heard her question, he simply replied with a cold remark.
Gone was the tenderness and affection of the past, and there was no longer any worry for Wen Jianxi.
Seeing his reaction, Hua Roumiao, who had originally wanted to say something more, opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.
The solitary confinement room fell silent, but the mind was racing back to what had happened during that time.
She was somewhat confused as to how things had come to this point, how her daughter had become involved with the demon race, and how the demon lord had risked his life to save her.
Hua Roumiao felt increasingly uneasy, but she secretly prayed that her daughter would not be caught, otherwise she would definitely suffer a terrible fate.
She would rather her daughter live well with the demons than have her return and perish.
Thinking of this, Hua Roumiao glanced at Wen Hong, the former sect leader, her eyes filled with a hidden anger at his lack of ambition.
Yes, it's the former Sect Leader Wen.
After True Monarch Xuanming sent a telepathic message back to the sect that day, the other peak masters, along with the Punishment Hall, imprisoned everyone from the main peak lineage and then began an investigation.
Currently, no connection between them and the Demon Clan has been found, but it has been discovered that Wen Hong used his position as sect leader to secretly seek benefits for the Wen family and himself, and embezzled sect resources.
Moreover, he embezzled quite a lot; the resources and treasures he possessed could have been used to support two Nascent Soul cultivators.
Even the fact that Wen Hong had secretly poisoned another highly respected senior brother and destroyed his spiritual root in order to become the sect leader was also discovered.
With all these facts and evidence, even considering the sect's reputation, Wen Hong was ultimately stripped of his position as sect leader.
Even the person has been imprisoned. As for how to be tried, there is no conclusion yet. They plan to arrest Wen Jianxi and deal with her together.
Therefore, the two of them have now been thrown into this lifeless confinement room, their belongings confiscated, and they are heavily guarded.
For the once glorious Sect Leader Wen, such days were extremely agonizing.
Therefore, he couldn't help but feel resentful towards Wen Jianxi, who had caused everything to be exposed, and no longer cared about her life or death.
"Brother Hong, help..."
Just as they were thinking different things, a blinding white light suddenly descended from the sky and headed straight for Hua Roumiao. She only had time to shout before she was engulfed by the light and instantly lost her voice.
Upon seeing this, Wen Hong was horrified and instinctively wanted to rush over to save the person, but unexpectedly, a terrifying pressure came from the bright light, making him unable to move.
It wasn't until quite a while later that the intense white light gradually subsided, revealing a smooth and graceful figure. The person was still the same, but their aura and cultivation level were completely different.
When Wen Hong met her gaze, he felt as if he were being stared at by something powerful. His scalp tingled, and he felt a chill run down his spine. He knew something was wrong and was about to run away.
The next moment, the person opposite him flicked his sleeve and coldly uttered two words: "Trash!"
Then, Wen Hong felt a sharp pain in his veins and was sent flying backward, crashing hard into the stone wall behind him before falling to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, he vomited several large mouthfuls of blood, which contained fragments of internal organs.
Clearly, this seemingly effortless and delicate palm strike directly shattered Wen Hong's internal organs. If it weren't for the cultivator's strong vitality, this blow would have been enough to send him to his death.
"You're really lucky to be alive."
The seemingly smooth and graceful woman hadn't expected that her attack wouldn't kill Wen Hong outright. She glanced at her hand, a look of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes, and spoke in a chilling tone.
Just as they were about to deliver another blow, the powerful figure in charge of guarding the Tianyan Sect noticed the commotion and came over.
Upon arriving, they saw Wen Hong lying on the ground. After exchanging glances, the group launched their attack on her.
The seemingly smooth and delicate hand that was about to strike Wen Hong had to stop. Looking at the several Nascent Soul cultivators surrounding him, and remembering the purpose of his trip, he decided not to get entangled with them any longer.
The feigned smoothness and dexterity swiftly dodged their attacks, then nimbly leaped out of the encirclement and fled into the distance, disappearing from sight in no time.
Seeing this, the people from the Tianyan Sect did not pursue him, but instead went to the side of the unconscious Wen Hong and began to check on his condition.
After confirming that Wen Hong's internal organs had been shattered and his spiritual root had been broken, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs paused and looked at each other in bewilderment.
“This is karma,” one of them finally exclaimed after a long silence.
Wen Hong destroyed others' spiritual roots and ruined their path to immortality. Now he himself has suffered the same fate of having his spiritual roots destroyed. Isn't this just the clear justice of heaven and the inevitable retribution?
The others all showed similar expressions, and after casually stuffing a pill into Wen Hong's mouth, they handed him over to the Punishment Hall for care.
Of course, they didn't forget to send a letter to the Xunfeng Secret Realm.
Although they didn't say anything, the group guessed that the person was heading towards the Xunfeng Secret Realm. At this point, apart from the demon's accomplices, there was no one else around.
However, their Heavenly Flame Sect is clearly the number one sect, so how could outsiders break in so easily? It seems they need to strengthen their forces.
Thinking of this, the group no longer dared to close their eyes and meditate. They took turns keeping an eye on the entire Tianyan Sect for twelve hours a day to prevent such a thing from happening again.
"The person has arrived."
At the same time, the message was quickly transmitted to the other side. Xuanming Zhenjun looked at the message jade tablet in his hand, and after seeing the contents, he immediately spoke to Liu Yu and the others.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu's gaze deepened, but his tone remained calm: "Alright, let's proceed according to plan."
Perhaps it was because Liu Yu's expression was too calm, or perhaps it was because they believed in his abilities, but although everyone was nervous, they still calmly followed the agreed plan and took their respective positions, waiting for the upcoming battle.
For a moment, the entire Tiancan Temple was silent. Even the air and the breeze seemed to know that a fierce battle was about to begin, and they stopped.
So when the fake, smooth, and delicate woman arrived, she was greeted by a group of Nascent Soul cultivators waiting for her.
Seeing this, the seemingly smooth and graceful woman showed no sign of panic. Her gaze swept over everyone present, and she suddenly unleashed her aura, as if she wanted to give the other party a warning first.
However, Liu Yu was not afraid of her at all, and immediately responded with a powerful aura. The invisible pressure suddenly clashed with her in the air.
