Hearing Lu Wen's reply, Xue Fei inhaled deeply. "Who is that person?"
He felt uneasy.
Lu Wen shook his head, "I don't know who that person is. His voice seems to have been disguised, and I'm unable to distinguish it. However, his cultivation is definitely very high."
Hearing Lu Wen's reply, Xue Fei's heart did not relax.
Although Lu Wen didn't mention any shocking names, the people who could freely enter and exit his seclusion grounds were definitely not light.
His Master, Fang Zhun, could freely enter and leave this place. It was just that unless there were special circumstances, Fang Zhun would generally not do so.
Other than Fang Zhun, the other Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters also had the ability to enter this place without a trace or sound.
Even in a Sacred Ground like Broad Creed Mountain, Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters were also limited existences, all of them bigwigs of the clan.
The final situation was comparatively better. That was someone like Xu Fei, a Principal Elder of Broad Creed Mountain who was in charge of matters in the Martial Inheritance Hall.
But even if it was the last situation, it wasn't very optimistic news.
Xue Fei calmly asked, "How long has it been since that person came to find you?"
After silently calculating the time, Lu Wen replied, "Approximately ten days ago."
Xue Fei nodded calmly, but his heart felt heavy.
Ten days ago was something that had happened recently. It had been a long time since Elder Liu and the others had been captured. Naturally, it could not have been these exposed spies of the Decimating Abyss.
This meant that there really were still people of the Decimating Abyss within Broad Creed Mountain, and also that their cultivation bases and positions were likely not low.
Xu Fei waited for Lu Wen to recuperate, before saying, "Junior brother Lu, if there's nothing wrong with your body, let's go meet the seniors of the sect together."
Although Lu Wen's mental state was somewhat dispirited, he still stood up, "Alright."
The two of them first met Xue Fei's master, Shi Tie.
Shi Tie's expression was calm, without the slightest change. After carefully asking Xu and Lu, he said, "Let's go see Junior Brother Fang first."
They headed to the Assignment Hall, yet were informed that Fang Zhun had left not long ago.
He did not return from Fang Zhun's residence.
Shi Tie and the others were stunned to discover that they were actually unable to find any traces of Fang Zhun for a time.
Although with Fang Zhun's cultivation, if he wanted to hide it from others, only a limited number of people in the entire Broad Creed Mountain would be able to discover it, if there was no special reason, Fang Zhun clearly did not need to do so.
At such a sensitive time, it was natural for one's imagination to run wild.
Xue Fei and Lu Wen exchanged glances. Lu Wen's originally bloodless face had now turned even paler.
Only Shi Tie remained as calm as ever. He calmly said, "This matter is unusual, but before we understand the situation, we shouldn't think too much about it."
"Let's look around first, but don't make it public. Just inform junior apprentice-brother Yan, senior apprentice-uncle He and the others, and it will be enough."
Saying so, Shi Tie's gaze swept past Xue Fei and Lu Wen, finally stopping on Lu Wen. "I, myself, am willing to believe in junior brother Fang."
Xue Fei and Lu Wen both nodded their heads in agreement, but could not suppress the worry in their eyes.
If Fang Zhun was not someone of the Decimating Abyss, then his current disappearance probably meant that the situation was far from good. It was possible that he had discovered something at the last moment, and had been tied up, unable to extricate himself.
… However, there was also the possibility that he had already been killed, even though Fang Zhun possessed outstanding strength.
If even Fang Zhun was unable to deal with it, then the viciousness and ferocity of the other party's attack this time could be imagined.
This was actually still thinking from the positive side.
As for the negative side, if Fang Zhun had joined the Nine Underworlds and the Decimating Abyss …
Xue Fei and Lu Wen were both silent, practically not daring to continue thinking about it.
Shi Tie said, "What exactly is the situation with junior brother Fang is still unknown at the moment. However, considering the matter of junior brother Yan's family and what happened to you, Lu Wen, as well as junior brother Fang's abnormal disappearance, we can be sure that the other party is already getting restless, accumulating their strength and waiting to act."
"The matter of finding junior brother Fang cannot be made public. However, the entire clan must raise their vigilance against the attacks of external enemies, as well as possible spies within the clan. We must be on full alert. If the other party wants to act, it will be right before our eyes."
On the way here to look for Shi Tie, Lu Wen had already heard Xue Fei narrate the various major events regarding the Decimating Abyss in the outside world while he had been in secluded cultivation.
At this moment, he and Xue Fei solemnly replied together, "Yes, this disciple understands. We will inform the others immediately."
Raising his head to look at the sky filled with dark clouds, Xue Fei's gaze was heavy, "The storm this time, looks like it really won't be small."
… …
At this moment, in the Central Heaven Region's Yunzhen County, within the ancestral mansion of the Yan Family, Yan Zhaoge stood within the courtyard, similarly raising his head to look at the sky.
The sky here was clear for ten thousand li, the sunlight bright and beautiful.
However, Yan Zhaoge did not relax as he pondered unceasingly within his heart, "If I were the other party, what would I do?"
"If the Grand Master in secluded cultivation successfully steps into the Martial Saint realm, he will be the hope and guarantee for our clan to advance a step further in the near future."
"However, from a certain perspective, Grand Master is currently in his weakest state. If there are enemies working together from within and without, he will simply be the best target and target. As the saying goes, pulling the firewood from under the cauldron, it is nothing more than this."
"With the Clear Qi Robe and the clan's guardian grand formation in hand, father is currently our clan's strongest point. However, on the other hand, if father is defeated, our clan's heavens would immediately fall and the earth would collapse."
"Eldest apprentice-uncle and I both have devilish marks on our bodies that have yet to be completely removed. If the two of us perish, the Great Nine Underworlds Door of the Sand Region might open once more. To our clan, this is also something that we have to guard against."
"Eldest apprentice-uncle's cultivation base was originally high, and with me continuously wrecking the plans of the Devilish Domain Grand Formation and the Decimating Abyss, I think this will also draw their attention, and they will focus on killing me."
Yan Zhaoge rubbed his temples, "The key is that we don't know if there are still people from the Decimating Abyss amongst our clan's higher echelons. Many of our plans cannot be executed, otherwise, if the secret is leaked, we will be counter-plotted against by the other party, losing even more terribly at that time."
"That's why it's said that guarding day and night is hard to guard against a thief in the family ah …"
As Yan Zhaoge pondered, Ah Hu hurriedly rushed over, "Young Master, an urgent report has come from the Principal Elder of Lianhu County. Someone has set up a formation there, wanting to guide the descent of the Nine Underworlds!"
"Tsk, there's no need to guess whether there is a traitor this time; there definitely is. The only problem is who it is," Yan Zhaoge rolled his eyes.
Like Yunzhen County, Lianhu County was in the Central Heaven Region, belonging to the core of Broad Creed Mountain.
Someone had infiltrated this place and set up a formation with the intention of opening the Great Nine Underworlds Door. If there wasn't a traitor, that would really be strange.
Also, it had to be a traitor with a high status.
After receiving the news, Yan Wenzhen and the others all had heavy hearts. Yan Zhaoge said, "It's not that simple. Starting a fire at our clan's doorstep, any random basin of water would be enough to extinguish it. Wanting the fire to really burn, there would definitely be other methods to obstruct us who extinguish it."
As he said this, an immense pressure that caused Yan Zhaoge's mind to feel numb and tremble suddenly arose from the distance, instantly enveloping the heavens and the earth for five thousand kilometres!
"Fuck!" Ah Hu regained his wits, directly cursing, "Martial Saint?!"
Yan Zhaoge let out a long breath, "He's indeed here. The Devil Saint, Yuan Tian."
