Ji Tianxing was now an influential figure in the outer sect, and with the Sky Pillar Token, he could move freely within the Sky Pillar Sect.
He entered the palace where Chu Huaishan lived, and when he was still outside, he heard Chu Huaishan and Yun Yao's voices coming from inside the palace.
"Reporting to Elder Chu, disciple Ji Tianxing requests an audience," he reported as he cupped his hands at the entrance of the palace.
Chu Huaishan was obviously startled, but he immediately said loudly, "Come in!"
Ji Tianxing stepped into the palace and saw three people inside.
In addition to Yun Yao and Chu Huaishan, Han Qiusheng was also present.
Seeing him arrive, Chu Huaishan asked in a concerned tone, "Ji Tianxing, have you recovered from your injuries?"
Yun Yao and Han Qiusheng also looked at him, their eyes filled with concern.
Ji Tianxing nodded and cupped his hands, "Thank you for your concern, Elder Chu. This disciple has been in seclusion for seven days to recover from my injuries."
"That's good," Chu Huaishan nodded slightly, "Do you have something to report? Or … do you need any cultivation resources? "
Ji Tianxing hurriedly explained, "Elder Chu, this disciple heard that something had happened to Dragon Mountain, so I came to see if I could do anything to help."
Chu Huaishan revealed a gratified smile, "That's good!"
"Dragon Mountain originally belonged to the outer sect, and you are the role model of the outer sect disciples. Now that something has happened to Dragon Mountain, it is rare for you to take the initiative to share the burden of our sect!"
Han Qiusheng also nodded in agreement, "As the saying goes, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Ji Tianxing, since you took the initiative to care about this matter, you will definitely be able to take on great responsibilities in the future …"
Faced with Chu Huaishan and Han Qiusheng's praise, Ji Tianxing hurriedly said a few words of modesty.
Next, Chu Huaishan and Yun Yao continued to discuss the matter of Dragon Mountain.
Yun Yao said with a serious expression, "The news that has been circulating in the sect is that ten odd-job disciples who were mining the ore veins have gone missing."
"Actually, after what happened yesterday, the Sect Leader had already ordered the two deacons stationed at Dragon Mountain to personally investigate this matter."
"However, the two deacons have also gone missing. Even now, there is still no trace of them. No one knows if they are dead or alive."
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing suddenly frowned, and his expression became dignified.
If it was only ten odd job disciples going missing, it was not a small matter, but it was not a big matter either.
However, the two deacons who were stationed at Dragon Mountain had also disappeared. This matter had become very serious.
But anyone that was able to assume the position of a deacon in the Sky Pillar Sect required a strength at least at the first level of the Origin Core Stage.
There were very few Yuan Dan experts, and every single one of them was capable of assuming great responsibility.
And after Long Shan's accident, two deacons went missing at once.
To the Sky Pillar Sect, this was not only a huge blow and loss, but also an intolerable provocation!
If this was really the doing of the Tian Jian Sect, the Sky Pillar Sect would definitely not swallow their anger. They would definitely seek justice!
After that, Chu Huaishan introduced some information before and after the incident, allowing everyone to have a better understanding of Dragon Mountain's matter.
After understanding Dragon Mountain's situation, Chu Huaishan and Yun Yao decided to set off and head to Dragon Mountain to conduct an on-site investigation.
After all, they were still unable to make a conclusion based on the clues that they currently possessed. They were unable to determine who exactly did this.
Seeing that Chu Huaishan and Yun Yao were about to set off, Ji Tianxing hurriedly said, "Elder Chu, this disciple requests to go with you. I can contribute a little to the sect."
Chu Huaishan instantly frowned and was slightly hesitant. "Ji Tianxing, your injuries have just healed, so it's not suitable for you to go out. Moreover, there is something fishy about this matter. I'm afraid it's not a small risk …"
To him, Ji Tianxing was now the outer court's number one genius, a future inner court's elite genius, and a cornerstone of the sect.
He didn't want Ji Tianxing to take any risks. If anything happened to him, it would definitely be a heavy loss for the outer court.
However, Yun Yao thought for a moment and nodded. "Elder Chu, Junior Brother Tianxing previously helped me complete the mission that the sect master gave him. He even received a reward from the sect master."
"Dragon Mountain is our sect's territory. This time, we're going to Dragon Mountain to investigate. It shouldn't be too dangerous. Let him come with us."
Since Yun Yao had spoken, her words vaguely revealed the sect master's thoughts and intentions. Of course, Chu Huaishan wouldn't object.
"That's good. Ji Tianxing is willing to share our worries. We can't refuse his kind intentions."
Chu Huaishan nodded and led Ji Tianxing out of the main hall.
Then, the three of them rode on their flying spirit beasts and flew high into the sky, rushing towards Dragon Mountain.
Chu Huaishan rode on his own spirit beast, the fire bird, while Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao rode on her spirit beast, the red-crowned crane.
In less than two hours, the two spirit beasts flew three hundred miles and landed on the peak of Dragon Mountain.
The Dragon Viewing Platform on the peak of the mountain was still the same as eight days ago. The ground was still full of holes and cracks that no one repaired.
Chu Huaishan led Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao along the bluestone path halfway up the mountain. They wanted to enter the belly of the mountain to investigate.
Ji Tianxing originally thought that after the Sky Pillar Sect took back Dragon Mountain, they would definitely plant more herbs and rebuild the herb garden, restoring Dragon Mountain to its original beautiful appearance.
However, along the way, he only saw a few teams of odd-job workers opening up a few herb gardens on the mountain and planting some herbs that had a shorter growth period.
Not long after, he followed Chu Huaishan into the cave halfway up the mountain and arrived at the depths of the mountain.
When he arrived at the ore vein area, he saw that most of the odd-job disciples were busy mining the ore vein.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing couldn't help but frown and ask Chu Huaishan, "Elder Chu, after our sect takes over Dragon Mountain, shouldn't we rebuild the herb garden and restore it to its original appearance?"
Chu Huaishan smiled and explained, "Dragon Mountain has been damaged to this extent. If our sect wants to rebuild and repair it, not only will it consume a lot of manpower and financial resources, but it will also take at least ten years.
"In these ten years, there will be three more competitions on Dragon Mountain. Our sect may not be able to win every time.
"Once Dragon Mountain is taken away by the Tian Jian Sect, won't our sect's efforts to rebuild Dragon Mountain be taken advantage of by the Tian Jian Sect?"
Ji Tianxing suddenly understood. No wonder the Sky Pillar Sect didn't rebuild Dragon Mountain.
He said with some worry, "Even if our sect doesn't spend any effort to rebuild Dragon Mountain, what's the difference between us and the Tian Jian Sect?"
Chu Huaishan shook his head and said with a smile, "Of course there's a difference. The Tian Jian Sect recklessly excavates resources and wantonly destroys Dragon Mountain's spirit veins.
"Although our sect also excavates resources, we won't be as crazy as Dragon Mountain. Instead, we have a plan to excavate and protect Dragon Mountain to a certain extent.
"In addition, although Dragon Mountain is a land of treasured spirit veins, there are many such spirit veins in the Star Ancient Realm. Even if Dragon Mountain is completely destroyed one day, our sect can just find other spirit veins. "
After listening to Chu Huaishan's explanation, Ji Tianxing understood the Sky Pillar Sect's attitude and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Chu Huaishan also ordered him and Yun Yao, "I'll go check out the other mining sites and meet with the deacons stationed at Dragon Mountain.
"You two go together and investigate the site of the incident. See if you can find any clues."
