"What?!"
"Master was murdered?!"
"Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Wei are dead?!"
“How is this possible!!”
Tan Tai Ming Yue's words were like a huge rock falling into the lake, immediately causing a huge wave.
Jian Yue's expression was cold: "Master, this is a serious matter. Are you sure?"
Chun Ningzhi, Chen Yunfeng and Zhang Zheng were all shocked, not understanding why the acting leader would say such earth-shattering words.
The Zhenyang Sect is the leader of the righteous sects in the world, and its six elders are all great monks among the best in the world!
Just a stomp of his feet can shake the cultivation world.
The death of Zheng Shengmo has caused great damage to the strength of Zhenyang Sect. If Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan, whose cultivation is second only to his, also die, the top combat power of Zhenyang Sect will probably be less than 50% left.
This is not a joke!
Tan Tai Ming Yue spoke in a serious voice, and slowly said: "Now that things have come to this, I will not hide it from you. In the battle at Tianlu Mountain, the witch Xia Qing Lian was too powerful, so Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Wei had inner demons."
Having said that, she glanced at Leng Jing imperceptibly. Leng Jing's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
In addition to Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan, Leng Jing was also one of them who was frightened by Xia Qinglian's power and developed inner demons.
But Tan Tai Ming Yue did not mention him, saving his face.
Suddenly, Leng Jing's expression changed. Could it be...
At this time, Tan Tai Ming Yue continued, "I once refined a treasure that can suppress inner demons, called the 'Soul Healing Pearl'. The two brothers found me privately and asked me for help."
"So I put two soul-healing beads into their spiritual fields respectively. They can suppress their inner demons without affecting their cultivation."
"In order to prevent their inner demons from suddenly getting worse and to provide timely treatment, I can always sense the soul-healing beads injected into their bodies so that I can respond to any emergencies."
"only……"
Tan Tai Ming Yue continued, "Since two days ago, I can no longer sense the soul-healing beads in their spiritual fields."
Chen Yunfeng hesitated for a moment, and asked in a trembling voice: "Master, what do you mean..."
Zhang Zheng's face turned pale. "Master's spiritual field was shattered, and the Soul Healing Orb was also shattered. So you can't sense it?"
At that moment, several people stared at Tan Tai Ming Yue, hoping to hear a different answer from her, but this was just wishful thinking. Tan Tai Ming Yue sighed:
"Yes, it is impossible to forcibly take out the Soul Healing Orb, so there is only one possibility, their spiritual field no longer exists."
There was deathly silence in the hall.
They are all cultivators, so they naturally know what it means that the spiritual field no longer exists.
"But, Master and Uncle Wei are both at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul. If the two of them join forces, who in the world can kill them?"
Zhang Zheng still didn't want to believe this cruel fact.
Leng Jing was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "There is one person who can do it."
"who?"
The three commanding disciples all looked at him, and seeing Leng Jing's gloomy expression, they immediately reacted and said in unison:
"Xia Qinglian?!"
"How is that possible! Isn't she already dead?!"
The three of them looked horrified and incredulous.
Tan Tai Ming Yue said: "There are not many people in the world who can use the Ten Thousand Swords Formation. Xia Qing Lian's cultivation and combat power were once the best in the world, and... she is a formation master."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into deathly silence again.
Xia Qinglian, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, was extremely talented, invincible, and had killed countless people.
It is the nightmare of every righteous disciple.
During the battle of Tianlu Mountain, Chun Ningzhi, Zhang Zheng and Chen Yunfeng were lucky, and no fighting took place on the south side of Tianlu Mountain where they were guarding.
Xia Qinglian appeared on the west side of Tianlu Mountain. After the battle, they went to the west side to check and saw the scene was extremely tragic.
Half of Tianlu Mountain was burned to the ground, and the mountain rivers turned into frozen rivers.
Only the mighty power of heaven and earth could create such a wonder, but the witch changed the topography of the mountains by herself.
Moreover, they also saw countless corpses of disciples from the three major sects. These people were obviously used as cannon fodder to consume Xia Qinglian's spiritual power, and then nearly twenty elders from the three major sects would besiege her.
Despite using such extreme measures, Xia Qinglian eventually killed four elders and seriously injured more than ten people. Even the leader Chen Qingmo had to go into seclusion due to his serious injuries.
Such a terrifying witch, just hearing about her makes my hair stand on end. If she is really not dead...
Chun Ningzhi shuddered and said in a trembling voice: "Master, what should we do?"
Zhang Zheng was more directly afraid: "If Xia Qinglian attacks Zhenyang Mountain, will we all die?"
Leng Jing clenched his fists, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. Tan Tai Ming Yue reached out her hand from under the table and gently held Leng Jing's fist, finally making Leng Jing's body stop trembling. She then said softly:
"Don't panic, this is just my guess. Even if Xia Qinglian is not dead, she must have been seriously injured and her cultivation has dropped drastically."
"Otherwise, with Xia Qinglian's style, she would have come to Zhenyang Mountain long ago."
After hearing her analysis, everyone felt it made sense and felt relieved.
Jianyue glanced at Tantai Mingyue and thought that this woman was really thoughtful and could guess so much.
No wonder Chen Qingmo wanted her to be the acting leader before he went into seclusion.
Seeing that everyone's emotions had stabilized, Tan Tai Ming Yue continued, "Now we have to do two things. First, we can't let anyone know that Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Wei have been killed, otherwise the position of the leader of Zhen Yang Sect will be in jeopardy. Second, we need to find out the real murderer as soon as possible to determine whether it was really Xia Qing Lian who did it."
Her voice was gentle and firm, like a spring breeze and sweet rain, and the shock and fear in their hearts gradually eased.
"We can tell others that Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Wei are in seclusion to strive for the Spiritual Transformation Realm. This way we can keep it a secret for a few years. During this period, I hope that you, my nephews, will practice hard. When you reach the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm, you can take your master's place."
Chun Ningzhi, Chen Yunfeng, and Zhang Zheng stood up and said respectfully: "Disciples will try their best to live up to the sect's expectations!"
Tan Tai Ming Yue nodded slightly and continued, "Regarding the investigation of the real culprit, I plan to send a group of disciples to the Southern Demon Land to conduct a secret investigation in two days. Please carefully select the candidates from each peak."
Leng Jing stood up, bowed and said: "I will obey the master's order!"
The others also stood up: "We will obey the master's order!"
After the discussion was over, everyone left, and Leng Jing and Jian Yue were stopped by Tan Tai Ming Yue.
"Brother Leng, Niece Ye, I feel there are many doubts about Zheng Shengmo's death. What do you think?"
Jianyue said calmly, "Zheng Shengmo likes to play with female disciples. Uncle Tantai should know this, right?"
Tan Tai Ming Yue smiled bitterly: "Xi Yue, you are right, Zheng Sheng Mo really deserved to die."
Leng Jing suddenly said, "But Zheng Shengmo raped an ordinary deacon disciple in a dangerous place like the beast tide. This is indeed a bit strange. By the way, that female disciple is a disciple of the head sister, right?"
Tan Tai Ming Yue nodded, her eyes narrowed slightly:
"Yes, her name is Lin Qingchou."
