When the Tian Jian Sect Master heard this, he immediately frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"This disciple was recruited from the Yong 'an Region. He has only been in the sect for two months and doesn't have much loyalty to the sect. How can we let him know the secret of Dragon Mountain?"
"Elder Master Tang, Ran Donglai disappeared on the second day of the Large Competition. Why did you only report this to me today?"
Elder Master Tang was enveloped by the Tian Jian Sect Master's fierce aura. He immediately lowered his head in fear and quickly explained.
"Sect Master, please calm down!"
"It's not a big deal for a new Outer Sect disciple to go missing. Sect Master has been busy recently, so this subordinate didn't dare to disturb you. "
"Ever since this subordinate learned that Ran Donglai went missing, I sent people to search and investigate everywhere. There hasn't been any news or results in the past few days. This subordinate can't explain it to you, Sect Master …"
The Tian Jian Sect Master frowned and waved his hand impatiently. He shouted in a low voice, "Forget it! Since it has already happened, it's useless to talk about it! "
"Elder Master Tang, I order you to personally lead people to investigate this matter. You must find Ran Donglai. If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse!"
Elder Master Tang quickly bowed and cupped his fists. "This subordinate obeys!"
The Tian Jian Sect Master's anger subsided a little, and he looked at Guest Elder Huangfu next to him.
"Guest Elder Huangfu, how is your deduction of the Sky Pillar Sect's Nine Dragon Spirit Vein Diagram?"
Guest Elder Huangfu nodded and calmly cupped his fists. "Reporting to Sect Master, I've already made some progress."
"However, when Deacon Qi investigated the Sky Bearing Sect for a few days, the spirit vein layout and terrain he found were somewhat superficial. It was only some superficial information."
"Based on the clues Deacon Qi found, this subordinate has preliminarily deduced the layout of the Nine Dragon Spirit Vein, but I'm still missing the most crucial details."
At this point, he sighed with a face full of regret.
"Sigh … If there's a chance for this subordinate to enter the Sky Bearing Sect and personally observe the Nine Dragon Spirit Vein, this subordinate will definitely be able to present a detailed array diagram to the Sect Master."
The Tian Jian Sect Master narrowed his eyes. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he said in a low voice, "The Sky Pillar Sect is on guard against our sect. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to realize your idea, Guest Elder Huangfu."
"However, destroying the Sky Pillar Sect's Nine Dragon Spirit Vein is a major matter. I'm not in a hurry."
"Honorable guest Huangfu, you are a grandmaster of array dao. I will have to trouble you with this matter. Please investigate more clues and do your best to complete the Nine Dragon Spirit Vein Map."
"After I destroy the Nine Dragon Spirit Veins and destroy the Sky Pillar Sect's thousand years of foundation, my sect will be able to stabilize its position as the number one sect and replace the Sky Pillar Sect in controlling the Heavenly Stellar Region!"
"At that time, I'll definitely give Guest Elder Huangfu the greatest credit!"
Guest Elder Huangfu smiled and hurriedly cupped his hands in salute. He flattered, "It's this subordinate's honor to be able to contribute to the Sect Master's great ambition!"
"The Sect Master is so far-sighted and far-sighted. It won't be long before you destroy the Sky Pillar Sect and unify the Heavenly Stellar Region!"
Of course, everyone understood that Guest Elder Huangfu was flattering the Sect Master.
However, his flattery hit the Tian Jian Sect Master's heart. It made the Tian Jian Sect Master happy and his anger dissipated.
Next, the Tian Jian Sect Master asked about some sect matters before announcing the end of the meeting and letting the elders carry out their orders.
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two days, Ji Tianxing had been cultivating in seclusion in a secret room.
After more than forty hours of bitter cultivation, with the help of elixirs, he had successfully refined another aperture point.
Although this result was not great and could not significantly increase his strength, it still made him feel gratified.
"In just a few days, I've successfully refined two apertures. This speed should be very fast.
"When I've refined all eight apertures in the first meridian, I'll be able to advance to the second stage of the Profound Comprehension Realm!"
After finishing his cultivation, Ji Tianxing walked out of the secret room.
He left the room and prepared to make a trip to the Great Peace Palace.
However, just as he walked into the courtyard, he ran into Deacon Du Wu.
When Du Wu saw him, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly waved his hand.
"Ji Tianxing! It's good that I ran into you. I have something to give you. "
A trace of doubt flashed in Ji Tianxing's eyes. He hurriedly walked in front of Du Wu, bowed, and asked, "Deacon Du, what is it?"
Du Wu took out a letter from his spatial ring and handed it to him. He explained, "This is a letter sent to you by someone in a mundane kingdom.
"This letter was delivered to me yesterday. I knew that you were cultivating in seclusion, so I temporarily kept it for you."
Ji Tianxing took the letter and thanked Du Wu before returning to his room.
"A letter from a mundane kingdom? It should be from Father, right? "
He muttered in a low voice. With a trace of anticipation, he opened the sealed envelope.
The handwriting on the letter was neat and tidy, with over a thousand words. He recognized it at a glance. It was his father, Ji Changkong's handwriting.
The letter said, "My son Tianxing, after you left, I missed you very much. I was also worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt to the Sky Pillar Sect's rules …
"I know that you are meticulous and steady in your actions. However, the world of martial arts is complicated and people's hearts are unpredictable. You have to be more vigilant. Don't have the heart to harm others, but don't let your guard down.
"I've already recovered more than half of my injuries. I'm fine for the time being, so you don't have to worry. The Ji Family's businesses are also gradually recovering and will be back to normal in half a year …
"Half a month ago, the Shadow Sword Hall's men caught the fugitive Ji Hao in the Hengchuan Kingdom and have already brought him back to the Ji Family.
"I didn't execute him because his father had already been beheaded and he was also a descendant of the Ji Family. I imprisoned him in the dungeon for the rest of his life and made him face the wall to reflect on his mistakes. "
Ji Tianxing sat in front of his desk and carefully read the letter.
Knowing that the Ji Family's situation had stabilized and that his father's injuries were no longer a problem, he smiled.
He continued reading and saw that the letter said, "Not long ago, the news of Ji Ling's death had already reached the Imperial City of Azure Cloud.
"The imperial family and several great clans have already received the news, but the imperial family wasn't angry and didn't have any reaction.
"I've asked someone to secretly inquire. The Emperor's meaning is that Ji Ling's death is an internal matter of the Sky Pillar Sect and the imperial family can't interfere. Therefore, you don't have to worry about the imperial family's revenge.
"After Ji Ling's death, the Ling Family lost their backer and has calmed down. They've restrained themselves and no longer attacked our Ji Family.
"However, I can feel that the Ling Family is only calm on the surface. I've already investigated and found that the Ling Family's Patriarch, Ling Sihai, left the imperial city half a month ago and his whereabouts are unknown.
"Tianxing, although you should be safe in the Sky Pillar Sect, I still have to be careful. But as your father, I still hope that you will be more careful and not have any accidents … "
