After deciding what to do next, Sect Master Wen and Hua Roumiao quickly summoned Sect Master Wen's eldest disciple, Jin Zeyang, who was also the chief disciple of the Tianyan Sect.
Jin Zeyang is the eldest disciple of Sect Master Wen and the successor to the next sect master. Since Sect Master Wen entered the Nascent Soul stage, he has been taking him to handle sect affairs.
Firstly, it was to cultivate him, and secondly, it was also to ensure that if Sect Master Wen were to break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage and have to step back from the front lines, the Tianyan Sect would have a capable successor.
Jin Zeyang was the first disciple accepted by Sect Master Wen. He came from the mortal world and had no other support in the cultivation world.
He was raised by Sect Master Wen from a young age, and although he wasn't his biological son, he was still quite capable.
Handing the sect over to him is essentially no different from Sect Master Wen holding absolute power. Neither his daughter nor the Wen family will be affected by his abdication.
Actually, if it weren't for the sect's unwritten rule that mid-Nascent Soul cultivators must step down from their positions, Sect Leader Wen wouldn't have wanted to abdicate so early.
After all, being the leader of a sect on the Rainy Continent not only brings him prestige and status, but also allows him to amass a lot of valuable possessions.
...
Meanwhile, Jin Zeyang suddenly received a summons from his master. Thinking something had happened, he immediately headed towards the main hall.
He was startled when he heard that his junior sister was missing. Fortunately, he knew who had gone out with her, so he took out his contact jade token and contacted them without hesitation.
When these people received the message, they were also dumbfounded. When they heard that they were looking for Wen Jianxi, they didn't dare to delay and immediately went to knock on her door, only to find that there was no one inside.
When they heard from the communication jade talisman that Wen Jianxi was in trouble, they were all filled with fear.
The sect leader's daughter, the sect's junior sister, disappeared when she went out with them, but none of them noticed until the sect leader reminded them.
If they can't find the person, it's easy to imagine that they will definitely suffer a terrible fate.
The Tianyan Sect members panicked and began frantically searching the entire inn.
After searching for a while, they still couldn't find a single clue. The waiter and the innkeeper both said they hadn't seen anyone leave the room or go up to disturb them.
They didn't believe it and started making a scene in the lobby, claiming it was a shady business that had kidnapped their junior sister and demanding her release. They even summoned the guards of Wanyue City.
After a long argument, they finally realized that the inn was run by a subsidiary family of the Wen family, and that Wen Jianxi, as a direct descendant of the main family, had no motive to commit the crime.
The Tianyan Sect members were dumbfounded upon receiving this result. The inn was chosen by Wen Jianxi, and they had no idea about her background.
In the end, the innkeeper calmed down and begged the city lord's mansion for help in the search. He even issued a bounty in Wanyue City, which finally ended the farce and allowed everyone to work together to find the person.
Unfortunately, they searched the city for several days without finding any clues.
After all, in order to prevent her fellow disciples from noticing anything amiss, Wen Jianxi used the teleportation talisman given to her by the artifact spirit to leave the inn, and even used a disguise pill to disguise her appearance.
If Lu Li weren't a phoenix, he probably wouldn't have been able to see through her disguise.
However, her disguise backfired, as her fellow disciples were unaware that she possessed teleportation talismans and disguise pills, and naturally, they did not mention this when issuing the bounty mission.
As a result, neither the city lord's mansion nor the cultivators in the city found any clues for a while, and Wen Jianxi became a missing person.
While the Tianyan Sect members were desperately searching for someone in Wanyue City, Wen Jianxi herself was in the artifact spirit's space, unable to go out or contact the outside world.
It turns out that on the day Wen Jianxi was chased to the brink of death by the spirit beast, the spirit of the artifact sensed that Wen Jianxi's life was in danger while it was asleep, and immediately exhausted its last bit of power.
He forcibly appeared and brought Wen Jianxi and the wisp of Wen Sect Master's divine consciousness into the space.
After that, the spirit fell into a deep sleep and did not respond to Wen Jianxi's calls, let alone release her.
Even the contract line with Wen Jianxi was intermittently visible due to its severe injury.
After sensing the spirit's condition through the contract, Wen Jianxi dared not disturb its recuperation, fearing that the spirit might actually get into trouble because of her disturbance.
Fortunately, the spirit eventually fell into a deep sleep, but it did not affect the space for the time being, so she felt at ease settling down in the space.
Although Wen Jianxi was somewhat worried about the temporary inability to contact the outside world, she was not in a great hurry.
After all, her father possessed her soul lamp. As long as the soul lamp remained intact, her father would naturally know that she was still alive and well.
Moreover, cultivators may be trapped in various secret realms or formations, unable to communicate with the outside world. A brief period of being out of contact will not have any impact.
With this in mind, Wen Jianxi felt at ease staying in the space to cultivate. The space was rich in spiritual energy, which was a good opportunity to improve her strength.
As for Sect Master Wen's wisp of divine consciousness, it had already dissipated automatically after entering the space and confirming that Wen Jianxi was no longer in danger.
Because this wisp of divine consciousness is a one-time use; once it's used, it's gone.
Meanwhile, after returning to the Liuyue Sect and discussing it with Lu Li, Shushu prepared to go into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Anyway, no matter how much those people investigate Wen Jianxi's disappearance, they won't be able to trace it back to them. They can just pretend they don't know anything, and those people from the Tianyan Sect won't dare to come looking for them.
After going out, Shushu first used his late-stage Qi Refining cultivation to defeat a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and then was forced to demonstrate how to avoid the attacks of explosive talismans, which was quite tiring.
