"Father, why did you summon me in such a hurry, what's the matter?"
Inside the Peerless Sect, Shangguan Mei Yang followed a Peerless Sect disciple in front of her and hurriedly walked forward. Her face was filled with doubt.
"Miss, I don't know either. Maybe the Sect Leader has something important to tell you."
The disciple in front of her turned around and smiled bitterly.
Shangguan Mei Yang frowned and did not say anything else. With a face full of thoughts, she walked to the main hall.
At this moment, the main hall's door was already closed. At the door stood two of Ao Wushuang's trusted aides, guarding the door. Seeing the two of them, Shangguan Mei Yang was even more astonished, because the ones who guarded this place in the past were not these two fellows. Furthermore, why was the hall that was used to receive and discuss matters closed?
"Miss, please go in. The Sect Leader is inside, I won't go in."
The disciple smiled, then cupped his fists towards the door and shouted: "Reporting to the Sect Leader, Miss has arrived."
"Got it. You can leave first." A voice came from inside.
"Yes, Sect Leader."
The disciple cupped his fists again, then hurriedly retreated.
Shangguan Mei Yang looked inside suspiciously, then looked at the disciple. In the end, she still carried a perturbed heart and walked towards the main hall.
Creak.
The door was pushed open.
There were not many people sitting in the main hall. There were only two. One was Ao Wushuang and the other was Shangguan Qingcheng.
"Father … Mother?"
Shangguan Mei Yang was startled. She did not understand what was going on.
There was a purple light flashing around the main hall. Ao Wushuang seemed to have activated a barrier and sealed the connection between this place and the outside world.
Seeing this, Shangguan Mei Yang became even more confused: "Father, Mother, this … What is going on? What do you want to do? "
"Yang 'er, don't be nervous. I called you here today not for anything else but to ask you something."
Ao Wushuang said indifferently.
"Father, what do you want to ask Yang 'er?"
Shangguan Mei Yang said.
Ao Wushuang was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. Shangguan Qingcheng sat quietly on the chair and did not say a word.
After an unknown period of time …
"Yang 'er, what's your current cultivation?"
"My cultivation? I've already peeked into the Profound Spirit God realm. "
"About to step into the Profound Spirit God realm?" Ao Wushuang gasped.
"This is all thanks to the Celestial Pool's water. If not for the Celestial Pool's water, how could I have such strength?" Shangguan Mei Yang laughed and said.
"Yeah, the water of the Celestial Pond is miraculous indeed. Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused countless people from the Celestial World to fight for it." Ao Wushuang sighed and said slowly, "In the past, the appearance of the Immortal Pond Divine Miracle was bound to cause a storm of blood. Even with the intervention of the Immortal Court, the chaos couldn't be avoided. But this time, the Immortal Pond Divine Miracle didn't cause too much turmoil, except …"
At this point, Ao Wushuang paused.
Shangguan Mei Yang looked at Ao Wushuang with a solemn expression. Ao Wushuang looked at his daughter and continued, "Only the Immortal Court suffered a great loss this time. It is said that the Immortal Court lost a large number of Rank Five envoys, a few Rank Four envoys and a Rank Three envoy. The main forces of the Immortal Court were also severely weakened. These people died in the operation of the Immortal Pool, right beside the Immortal Pool. Do you … know about this?"
Ao Wushuang looked at his daughter seriously, and his last question was especially serious.
When Shangguan Mei Yang heard this, she immediately understood why Ao Wushuang asked her to come.
She thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Father, it's really hard for me to tell you about this matter. After all, it's related to the Immortal Court. Once it's leaked, everyone related to it will be hunted down by the Immortal Court or even killed. So … I can't tell you."
"I understand that you're doing this for Su Yun's sake. But I just want to ask, is the death of these people related to Su Yun?" Ao Wushuang said in a low voice.
Shangguan Mei Yang looked down for a long time and said softly, "Yes …"
Such a simple word fell into Ao Wushuang's ears, but it gave him a great shock.
He widened his eyes and looked at his daughter blankly, unable to say a word.
Not long ago, he received news about the Immortal Pool. This news had spread like wildfire and had already spread throughout the Immortal World, causing a huge uproar in the Immortal World. The Immortal Court had suffered heavy losses this time, and its status had also been shaken. People were very curious about who did this to the Immortal Court. After all, the Immortal Court had not announced the murderer, which meant that even they themselves did not know.
What kind of method was this?
"Father, please don't tell others."
"Don't worry, why would I tell others? After all, you're also involved in this matter. Once it's leaked, my Peerless Sect will not be able to escape responsibility. "
Ao Wushuang said in a low voice, "But I never thought that Su Yun would actually cause such a huge ruckus. Although he did it cleanly, it's better to be safe than sorry. Yang 'er, for the time being, stay in Peerless Sect and don't go anywhere. Wait for this matter to settle down first."
"Yes, Father."
…
…
Outside the Immortal Seeking Sect, a group of people dressed in brownish-yellow embroidered robes flew over from afar. There were a total of twelve people in this group. As soon as they landed, they flashed the tokens on their waists.
"The Immortal Court is here to handle matters. Quickly summon your Sect Leader, we have important matters to attend to."
The leader did not have the slightest bit of politeness, and directly shouted at the two disciples who were on duty at the gate.
The two disciples were still stunned, probably unable to react. They watched as the group of people directly walked in, as if they were too lazy to wait outside.
How overbearing.
"Hey, hey, stop! All of you, stop! "
The two disciples hurriedly rushed over, but they could not stop these powerful Immortal Court people at all. Seeing that the situation was not good, one of them immediately shouted, and at the same time, sounded the alarm.
In an instant, a large number of Immortals rushed out of the Immortal Seeking Sect, and directly surrounded the group of Immortal Court people.
There were three layers of people inside and three layers outside, and not a single drop of water could escape.
Xiang Yang rushed over immediately, and upon seeing this group of people, he immediately shouted, "Who are you people? How dare you behave atrociously in the Immortal Seeking Sect?? Although the Immortal Seeking Sect is not big, we will not let anyone bully us! Men, take them down!! "
"Yes!"
"Wait, we are from the Immortal Court, and this time we came to the Immortal Seeking Sect with important matters. Who are you??"
The leader took out another token and said.
"Me?" Xiang Yang snorted, and said, "I am the Vice Sect Leader of the Immortal Seeking Sect, Xiang Yang!!"
"You are Xiang Yang?"
The few people were surprised.
"May I know where the Sect Leader is?"
"The Sect Leader is out, and has not returned yet! You say you are from the Immortal Court? Humph, the token looks real, but your behavior is too rude. Since when can the people of the Immortal Court ignore the rules and laws of the Immortal Court and trespass into the land of other sects??? "
Xiang Yang said coldly.
"Time is of the essence. We have been authorized by the Immortal Court to enter any sect at will."
"You … the laws of the Immortal World are made by everyone, and the Immortal Court has no right to change them!!"
"This is not a change, just a temporary decision."
The man said indifferently.
Hearing this, Xiang Yang was so angry that his face turned red.
"Well, Vice Sect Leader Xiang Yang, since the Sect Leader is not here, it is the same to ask you. I hope you can actively cooperate with us, and don't cause us trouble. In this way, it will be good for the Immortal Court, and also for the Immortal Seeking Sect."
The man seemed to ignore Xiang Yang's feelings, holding a roll of paper in his hand. He opened it, looked at the paper, and began to speak.
"I would like to ask Sect Leader Xiang Yang, has anyone else entered your sect recently?"
"Although our sect has not recruited disciples during this period, the sect has not been closed. Friends from all over the world come here, and we will certainly welcome them. What do you mean? "
"Perhaps I didn't express myself clearly enough."
That person straightened up the paper and looked at the picture of a man drawn on the paper.
The man wore a pitch-black cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly. He held a snow-white sword in his hand, and his entire body was filled with devil qi. Although it was drawn on a roll of paper, because it was condensed from immortal qi, it appeared lifelike, as if it was a real person.
Xiang Yang's heart skipped a beat, and his breathing became tight.
Although it was only a glance, he recognized that this person was Su Yun.
Calm down! He had to be calm! Xiang Yang anxiously warned himself in his heart. These were all spies sent by the Immortal Court, so he couldn't expose himself in front of them.
Xiang Yang pretended to be very careful as he carefully examined the scroll of paper. Then, he shook his head and said indifferently: "Who is this person? I've never seen him before. "
"He is a Heaven Rank wanted criminal of the Immortal Court, and has already been placed at the top of the Black List. Now, the Immortal Court will split a third of its power to investigate this person. As long as this person is not brought to justice, the Immortal Court's focus will never shift."
"Who is he?"
"I don't know."
"What's his name? Which sect is he from?"
"I don't know either."
"You don't know anything about him. Why did you come to my Immortal Seeking Sect to investigate?" Xiang Yang was puzzled.
The man holding the scroll of paper narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Because our Immortal Court's envoy calculated that this person is most active in this area, and this area is the territory of your Immortal Seeking Sect!"
"Wh … What?"
He stared at the portrait and asked carefully: "This person … What did he do?"
"This is confidential. Vice Sect Leader Xiang Yang, from today onwards, the Immortal Court will place people here. From today onwards, no one from the Immortal Seeking Sect will be allowed to leave the Immortal Seeking Sect. We will have special people to investigate. The investigation will not take too long, about a day. After a day, if there is no such person in the Immortal Seeking Sect, we will clear the Immortal Seeking Sect's name. Please cooperate with us, Sect Leader Xiang Yang. "
The man said indifferently.
But as soon as he said that, Xiang Yang's heart almost jumped out of his throat …
Investigation? Half of the people in the Immortal Seeking Sect were Devil Cultivators!
