Faced with Xiang Wuji's storm-like questions, Chu Tiansheng immediately revealed an ashamed expression.
He bowed and lowered his head. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "Martial Uncle, this is indeed disciple's negligence. Disciple will definitely think of a way to remedy it!
"Although Ji Ling already knows this secret, he is still an outer sect disciple. I will have the Wind Cloud Courtyard's deacon secretly keep an eye on him. I won't let him leak any secrets!"
Xiang Wuji nodded, tacitly agreeing with Chu Tiansheng's actions.
He frowned and said with lingering anger, "Chu Tiansheng, in the future, you have to think before you make any decisions. Don't make arbitrary decisions!"
"Although you are the sect master, the Sky Bearing Sect isn't under your control! Even if you were the strongest among your peers back then, you definitely aren't the best candidate to be the sect master! "
"Just like this old man, I was also the strongest among my fellow disciples. But this old man knows his own limits. I definitely won't be the sect master, lest I ruin the sect's thousand years of foundation! "
Xiang Wuji's words could be said to be harsh. He mercilessly criticized Chu Tiansheng for being strong but not having the corresponding talent.
Chu Tiansheng's face alternated between green and white, but he could only humbly accept the advice and didn't dare to refute it.
Perhaps because Xiang Wuji had said too much, or perhaps because he was feeling irritated, he took out a jug of wine from his black thumb ring and sat in the main hall, minding his own business.
Chu Tiansheng didn't dare to dissuade him. He could only take out the simple and mysterious tortoiseshell and silently observe it.
He used a secret technique and poured origin energy into the tortoiseshell. The silver dots on the tortoiseshell immediately began to change.
A moment later, the silver dots arranged themselves into several lines, forming a mysterious pattern.
When Chu Tiansheng saw the pattern, his mind shook and his eyes revealed a trace of surprise.
"Martial Uncle! Quickly look, I used the Fated Star Chart to deduce the result! "
"The person we are looking for is actually still in the sect!"
Xiang Wuji was holding the jug of wine and drinking in large mouthfuls. When he suddenly heard this, he almost spat out the wine in his mouth.
He suddenly turned his head to glare at Chu Tiansheng and angrily scolded, "Chu Tiansheng! Do you have a pig's brain? "
"You didn't expel Ji Ling from the sect, so of course he's still in the sect!"
Chu Tiansheng hurriedly explained, "Martial Uncle, the person shown on the Star Chart isn't Ji Ling, but someone else!"
"Someone else?" Xiang Wuji was also startled. His face was full of confusion as he asked, "According to the star chart, the person who defied fate came from the Imperial Qing Dynasty."
"Since the person who defies fate is still in our sect and not Ji Ling, then things will be easy."
"Go and check how many disciples we have from the Royal Azure Dynasty and then carefully screen them."
Chu Tiansheng quickly put away the Star Chart and nodded, "Disciple obeys!"
He hadn't expected the result to be like this. The heavens were actually so fond of the Sky Pillar Sect.
Although Ji Ling was unable to reactivate the Nine Dragon Trapping Devil Formation and wasn't someone who defied fate, the true person who defied fate was still in the Sky Pillar Sect.
Chu Tiansheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. His heart was filled with anticipation.
…
The next morning, Chu Tiansheng gathered the nine elders in the Sky Pillar Hall for a meeting.
He sat on the Sect Master's throne and calmly swept his gaze over the nine elders in the hall. He asked in a deep voice, "Yesterday, this Seat asked you to investigate the demon invasion. What's the result?"
Outer Sect Elder Chu Huaishan immediately stepped forward and respectfully reported, "Reporting to Sect Master, last night we found the invading demons. There were two of them, one old and one young."
"The old man is the High Priest of the demon tribe. As for the young woman he brought, her identity is unknown. She should be a noble child of the demon tribe."
"When this subordinate discovered their tracks, this subordinate joined forces with two other elders to besiege them. Unfortunately, they used the Smoke Catcher Umbrella and escaped again. "
Chu Tiansheng slightly frowned. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "That High Priest is our sect's sworn enemy. Within a hundred years, he has infiltrated our sect three times in a vain attempt to rescue the demon."
"Unfortunately, he has the Smoke Catcher Umbrella. Even if this Seat personally took action, I might not be able to capture him."
"You've already done your best. This Seat does not blame you. If you can drive them out of the sect, they won't dare to invade again in the short term!"
After he finished speaking, Chu Huaishan cupped his hands and bowed, then returned to the group of elders.
Immediately after, the Spirit Medicine Hall Elder took two steps forward and reported to Chu Tiansheng, "Reporting to Sect Master, this subordinate has something important to report."
Chu Tiansheng slightly nodded and asked, "What is it?"
The Spirit Medicine Hall Elder calmly said, "The Outer Sect's White Dew Courtyard's female disciple, Ji Ke, has been treated by this subordinate and regained consciousness last night."
"The internal strife that occurred thirteen days ago in the Outer Sect should also have a conclusion."
Originally, there was no need for Chu Tiansheng to deal with the internal strife of the Outer Sect's disciples.
However, that matter was related to the Outer Sect's disciple, Ji Ling, so the Outer Sect Elder Chu Huaishan had already reported it to him.
Now that he heard the Spirit Medicine Hall Elder's report, Chu Tiansheng pondered for a moment and nodded, "Alright, take this Seat to her in a moment. This Seat wants to ask her face to face."
Following that, another two elders reported some matters of the Sect.
They were all ordinary sect matters. Chu Tiansheng made a decision on the spot and handed it over to the elders to carry out.
After half an hour, the meeting ended and the elders left the Sky Pillar Hall one after another.
Chu Tiansheng also followed the Spirit Medicine Hall Elder. After leaving the Sky Pillar Hall, he rushed to the Spirit Medicine Hall on the Spirit Medicine Peak.
The Spirit Medicine Hall was located at the peak of the mountain and was an important place in the Sky Pillar Sect. Ordinary disciples were not allowed to approach it.
Hundreds of lofty palaces were surrounded by lush, towering trees.
The palaces were shrouded in white clouds and thick fog, making the Spirit Medicine Hall seem like a fairyland.
In one of the palaces of the Spirit Medicine Hall, there were hundreds of spacious and bright rooms set up with formations. They were specially used to treat the injuries of the sect's disciples.
Chu Tiansheng followed the Spirit Medicine Hall Elder into a room filled with the smell of medicinal herbs and saw two women in the room.
One of the young girls was Ji Ke. She was lying on the bed with a pale face. Her eyes were dim and lifeless. Clearly, she had yet to recover her vitality.
The other young girl was a servant of the Spirit Medicine Hall. She was carefully taking care of Ji Ke, holding a bowl of medicinal soup and feeding her medicine.
Seeing the Spirit Medicine Hall Elder and Chu Tiansheng enter the room, the servant hurriedly bowed respectfully, put down the bowl of medicine, and left.
Ji Ke couldn't get up and bow, so she nodded in greeting.
The Spirit Medicine Hall Elder said to her with a kind expression, "Ji Ke, this is our sect's Sect Master. He specially came to see you and ask about what happened that day."
"From beginning to end, tell him everything in detail. You must tell him the truth. Don't hide anything!"
