Yan Ying turned her head to look at Cang Jinglan. He still looked the same as he had seven years ago.
Mu Siyue had never taken the initiative to provoke her since she was punished by Cang Jinglan seven years ago, and she had never inquired about Mu Siyue's news.
After all, she doesn't need to go to Sunset Peak to practice now. She hasn't even seen Cang Jinglan for a long time, let alone Mu Siyue.
"Uncle Master, do you know that more than fifty years ago... a monster escaped from the Demon Locking Tower. It was a fox demon that was nearly ten thousand years old." Ning Hai whispered to Cang Jinglan.
Cang Jinglan nodded. How could he not know about such a major event that shocked Kyushu?
I heard that it was his master, the old sect leader, who personally asked the sect to join forces and subdue the fox demon.
"After the fox demon was subdued, it disappeared and there was no trace of it in the entire Jiuzhou." Ning Hai recalled.
When the incident happened, he was just an ordinary disciple of Guiyun Sect, but he still remembers that when the fox demon disappeared, everyone in the sect was in panic.
"If what happened back then was caused by human intervention, then the monsters that have disappeared today might also be the work of that person."
"Regardless of the situation, the disappearance of a demon beast is no small matter. If that person is after the demon beast's demon core, then his intentions in capturing so many demon beasts are truly unpredictable."
Ning Hai's face was heavy. He had felt that the disappearance of the monster was definitely not that simple.
If this matter is not investigated thoroughly, Jiuchuan will be in danger.
"I understand." Cang Jinglan nodded. "I'll go down the mountain with you."
"Okay," Ning Hai replied. "Ying'er, the task of placing the new disciple is now yours."
"Yes, Master, don't worry. I'm fine now. I'll leave now."
"Go ahead."
Yan Ying bowed and left.
When Yan Ying returned to the square, the competition had already ended, and only Wu Lin and Wu Bai were left there waiting for her.
Seeing Yan Ying coming out of the hall, the two men walked towards her.
"Auntie, the competition is over." Wu Bai said with a smile.
"Is there any problem?" Ever since Yan Ying took on the responsibility of supervising the examination, she realized that these disciples participating in the selection were really a cause for concern.
"No, I was watching it the whole time." Wu Bai shook his head.
"Junior sister, what did you say to Master?" Wu Lin asked with narrowed eyes and a gossipy look on his face.
"Master said that he and the eldest brother will leave the sect for a few days. There is a monster causing trouble in Qichuan, and Master wants to go down the mountain to investigate." Yan Ying told Wu Lin everything she heard.
"Ah..." Wu Lin sighed. "These monsters will cause endless trouble."
"By the way, Junior Sister, did Master say when you can enter and leave the sect freely? It's been so many years now, and your cultivation level has reached the Nascent Soul stage. Who exactly is Master on guard against?"
Yan Ying shook her head. She wanted to wait until she achieved good results in the sect competition before bringing this matter up to her master.
Over the years, it seemed that her master had hidden a lot of things from her.
