Zhenyang Sect.

Danxia Peak, the main hall of the peak master.

Jianyue, Chun Ningzhi, Zhang Zheng, and Chen Yunfeng walked up to the main hall and greeted Tan Tai Mingyue who was sitting in the upper seat:

"Greetings, Uncle Tantai."

The four of them led a group of Zhenyang Sect disciples and just returned from the Southern Demon Land. They immediately came to report to Tan Tai Mingyue, the acting leader.

Tan Tai Ming Yue looked around at the exhausted crowd and said softly, "You have worked hard. Disciple Tong Yu will stay here, and the others can go down and rest first. Everyone has made contributions this time, and the summits will reward them according to their merits."

The disciples looked at each other in panic. They had abandoned Tan Tai Ming Yue's most valued disciple, so where did this achievement come from?

No one dared to say more at the moment, and they all retreated after paying their respects.

Only Cheng Qingyu had a calm expression. He turned around and walked out.

Before Lin Qingchou left, she glanced at Chun Ningzhi's back, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes that no one noticed, and she lowered her head and left.

At this moment, there were only four commanding disciples left in the hall. Tan Tai Ming Yue's expression was still gentle, and her voice was still calm:

"Have you investigated the cause of death and the murderer of Elders Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan?"

Tan Tai Ming Yue did not ask about Su Xin's affairs. The first thing she said was about the important affairs of the sect.

The deaths of Shi and Wei had a huge impact on the Zhenyang Sect. The Zhenyang Sect still announced to the outside world that the two elders were in seclusion to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

But no one knows how long it can be kept secret.

Only by finding the murderer of the two people as soon as possible can we at least stabilize the morale of the sect after the news of the death of the two elders is announced.

This is also one of the purposes of sending disciples to the Land of the Southern Demon.

Zhang Zheng, Chun Ningzhi, and Chen Yunfeng were already prepared to be reprimanded by the acting headmaster. They looked at each other and saw Yue Ze's cold expression. He replied calmly:

"My two uncles died in the back of Qinglian Mountain, killed by the Ten Thousand Swords Formation."

Tan Tai Ming Yue lowered her eyes and sighed, "It is indeed the Ten Thousand Swords Formation, and it is indeed Qing Lian Mountain."

She was silent for a moment, then asked the four people, "Have you found any clues about the murderer?"

Jianyue said: "Senior Sister Suxin suspected that Xia Qinglian had come back to life."

As soon as she said this, the faces of the other three people changed, especially Chen Yunfeng. His body suddenly tensed up and veins popped out on the back of his hands. Just the name made him extremely nervous.

Tan Tai Ming Yue's expression also changed slightly, and she asked Jian Yue, "Xi Yue, you should know Xia Qing Lian best, do you think it's her?"

Jian Yue was still cold and indifferent: "Apart from Xia Qinglian, there is no one else in the world who can use the Ten Thousand Swords Formation."

Tan Tai Mingyue frowned, and Chun Ningzhi and the other two lowered their heads. They didn't know whether it was Xia Qinglian's name that made them nervous, or they felt guilty and didn't dare to look directly at Tan Tai Mingyue.

After a long while, Tan Tai Ming Yue finally spoke: "You have worked hard, go back and rest... Xi Yue, you stay for a while."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed and left. Chun Ningzhi looked at Yue worriedly, but the other party didn't even look at him. Chun Ningzhi turned around and walked out dejectedly.

"etc."

The voice of Tan Tai Ming Yue sounded behind them. The three of them froze and turned around slowly, only to hear Tan Tai Ming Yue say softly:

"Your decision is correct. We cannot destroy all the elites of the sect because of one person."

The three of them bowed quickly: "Thank you for your understanding, uncle."

Tan Tai Ming Yue waved her hand, seeming a little tired. The three did not dare to stay any longer and hurried out of the hall.

After they left, Tan Tai Ming Yue asked Jian Yue, "Xi Yue, have you heard any news about Wei Wan and the others in the past few days?"

She was asking about the people who turned back to rescue Su Xin.

Jianyue sneered in his heart, isn't it your precious disciple that you care about?

They are trying to hide this, it's really hypocritical. Ye Xiyue, look, this is your Zhenyang Sect, how boring!

However, Jianyue's face remained calm and she said calmly, "No."

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Ming Yue fell silent again and sighed slightly: "My sound transmission note didn't respond either."

Jianyue looked at her and said, "Uncle Master, rest assured. Junior Sister Wei and Junior Brother He will definitely be able to rescue Senior Sister Suxin."

Tan Tai Ming Yue did not continue the topic, and her voice changed slightly: "Have you found any results for the other thing I asked you to investigate?"

When the disciples set out on their journey, Tan Tai Ming Yue specifically instructed Jian Yue, Su Xin and Wei Wan to investigate the identities of Ruo Mei and He Zhi Qiu.

Now that Su Xin and Wei Wan have not returned, she can only ask Jian Yue.

"Junior Brother He and Junior Sister Ruo are both fine."

Tan Tai Ming Yue nodded: "Xi Yue, you should go and have a rest too."

After Jianyue left, Tan Tai Mingyue was the only one left in the hall.

Her dignified and elegant posture changed in an instant, and she fell back on the chair with mist in her eyes.

"Xin'er, where have you been? Why didn't you reply to my message?"

"Madam, it's all my fault. I didn't protect my sister well."

Suddenly, a cold figure in a purple brocade robe walked out slowly. It was Cheng Qingyu who had returned at some unknown time.

She had an ambiguous smile on her face as she looked at Tan Tai Ming Yue, but she was calling out a confusing name.

Tan Tai Ming Yue didn't seem surprised by her appearance, and a wry smile appeared on her face:

"Your father and I have no official relationship. Your mother is his legal wife. Why do you need to call me Madam?"

Cheng Qingyu walked up to Tan Tai Ming Yue, bowed, and said with a smile:

"Mother told me that although the eldest lady had a relationship with the former crown prince of the Western Dynasty, she had always been a virgin until she fell in love with my father and gave birth to my sister."

"In order to help my father secure his position as the head of the sect, the eldest lady endured humiliation and refused to take any official position. She even refused to acknowledge her own daughter."

"Mother said she has always admired the eldest lady."

Tan Tai Ming Yue's voice gradually turned cold: "Cheng Qing Yu, Senior Brother did not marry your mother as the head of the sect. You are not allowed to mention this matter again in Zhen Yang Sect!"

Cheng Qingyu bowed: "I was reckless, please forgive me, Madam."

"And you are not allowed to call me Madam anymore."

"yes."

Tan Tai Ming Yue sat high up in the position of the head of the sect, looking down at Cheng Qing Yu below, but he seemed unable to see through her, so he could only ask:

"What do you want from me?"

Cheng Qingyu raised his head, a strange smile appeared on his face: "Acting Sect Leader, Senior Sister Ye lied, there is something wrong with He Zhiqiu and Ruomei."

…

Yunling Town.

Temple of the Goddess.

late at night.

Zhao Yi, Qian Er and Sun San were cleaning the temple.

The tide of pilgrims during the day dispersed, leaving behind a lot of debris. The three of them would come to clean up every night to ensure that the golden body of the goddess was clean and pure.

Selling spirit beast meat during the day and cleaning the temple at night has become a habit for the three of them.

They didn't feel it was hard at all, and were even full of anticipation.

Because while cleaning, I can still see the peerless beauty of the goddess, even if it is just a statue, it is a great happiness.

The three of them were concentrating on cleaning when suddenly there was a sound of wind outside the door and a tall and burly figure appeared.

Zhao Yi turned around and said, "Come back tomorrow to burn incense."

The tall man walked into the temple, looked at the statue of the goddess, and shook his head slightly:

“Not really.”

Sun San was puzzled: "What did you say?"

The tall man chuckled and asked the three people, "Did you build this temple?"

Qian Er nodded and said, "My fellow Taoist, the Temple of the Goddess was built by us. May I ask what can I do for you?"

"Goddess? That's an apt title."

The burly man carefully took out a red veil from his arms and said to the three people:

"Do you recognize this thing?"
