Hearing this, Chen Xing couldn't help but tremble. He turned to the other three Junior Brothers and asked in a low voice, "Have you found the two people who attacked us?"
"No … no, Senior Brother, we can't find them at all!"
"I've checked the people of the Immortal Seeking Sect that we killed, and those two people are not among them!"
"The two people we saw were from the Immortal Seeking Sect, right?"
"That's right!! I guess the Immortal Seeking Sect must be hiding them! "
"But if they are hiding, there's nothing we can do. Elder Yuwen, you can't take action because of this. Otherwise, it will violate the rules of the Immortal Court. If the sect suffers a loss, we'll be doomed!"
"Then … what should we do now? If we can't find them, let alone the Immortal Court, our sect will lose face, and we'll have to bear the consequences!! "
"What should we do, Senior Brother …"
"Don't panic!"
Chen Xing rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "Since the Immortal Seeking Sect has hidden them, that means this matter has something to do with the Immortal Seeking Sect. In for a penny, in for a pound, in for a pound! Anyway, it's the Immortal Seeking Sect's fault. It's all the same! "
Hearing this, the other three immediately understood what Chen Xing meant. However, there was no other choice. After thinking for a moment, they nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Chen Xing didn't hesitate anymore. He turned around and pretended to look for them. The others also pretended to look for them.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on them, especially Chen Xing's.
Chen Xing walked around the crowd of the Immortal Seeking Sect. Suddenly, he shouted excitedly, "I found him, it's him, it's this guy!! It's him! Elder, it's this guy who attacked us!!! "
He pointed at a dark-skinned, honest-looking disciple of the Immortal Seeking Sect and shouted.
"Bring him out!!"
Yuwen Luo shouted immediately.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Two experts of the Heaven-Knocking Pavilion rushed out from the side. They rushed into the crowd of the Immortal Seeking Sect at lightning speed and grabbed the man pointed out by Chen Xing.
The Immortal Seeking Sect Leader didn't stop them.
That person barely had any reaction before he was brought to the middle of the two sects …
Only then did he come to his senses. Hearing Chen Xing's words, the disciple of the Immortal-Seeking Sect was so scared that he almost fell from the sky. He hurriedly shouted, "I'm innocent! I'm not! I'm not the one who intercepted them! I don't even know them! Elder Yuwen, please investigate clearly! Sect Leader, save me!!!"
However …
His words had no effect at all.
"Which criminal would admit his mistakes?"
Yuwen Luo snorted coldly and turned to Sect Leader Immortal Seeking, "Sect Leader Wei, what else do you have to say?"
The people of the Immortal Seeking Sect all turned to look at the Immortal Seeking Sect Leader, waiting for his answer.
A few people from the Immortal Seeking Sect immediately stood up and shouted, "Sect Master, this Junior Brother Liu is definitely innocent. He has been guarding the pill furnace room with us for the past few days and has not left at all. There is no way he would go and kill people from the Heaven Knocking Pavilion!!"
"That's right Sect Leader, what's more, he doesn't have that kind of cultivation, he's just at the peak of the Spirit Sage! How could he kill those people? I think those people's cultivations are much higher than Junior Brother Liu's! "
"Furthermore, Junior Brother Liu has no enmity with them, why would he want to kill them?"
"Sect Leader is wise!"
The words of these people caused everyone to be confused.
If this disciple surnamed Liu was innocent, wouldn't that mean that Chen Xing was randomly pointing fingers?
The possibility of this was extremely high.
After all, the Heaven Knocking Pavilion needed a way out, and Chen Xing also needed to protect his own life. If he could not find the person, then he would not be able to explain himself. There were so many people here, how could they allow him to cause a ruckus?
However …
The words that came out of Sect Master Wen Xian's mouth were beyond everyone's expectations …
"I have nothing to say. Since you have already found the person, then, I will hand him over to you! In addition, as an apology, I will choose another batch of magic treasures and pills to offer to the Heaven Knocking Pavilion as compensation for this matter! "
Sect Leader Wen Xian said indifferently.
With that said, everyone in the Immortal Seeking Sect was dumbstruck.
"Sect... Sect Leader, this …"
"Elder Yuwen, what do you think?" Sect Leader Wen Xian ignored the words of the disciples and insisted.
"Fine!"
Yuwen Luo nodded in satisfaction. Sect Leader Wen Xian had already made a concession, and he had the face to step down. Why was he still being so overbearing?
The people of the Immortal Seeking Sect were not fools. Most of them could tell that their sect leader was planning to keep the peace. Putting aside whether the disciple with the surname Liu was innocent, even if he did not kill the people of the Heaven Knocking Pavilion, the sect leader would not care about him. What he wanted to do now was to ask the people of the Heaven Knocking Pavilion to leave. Therefore, the disciple with the surname Liu had to be sacrificed.
"That would be for the best."
Sect Leader Wen Xian said indifferently, "I will hand the person over to you. In addition, I will let Xiangyang be responsible for the compensation. Three days later, he will personally bring the compensation to the Heaven Knocking Pavilion."
"Sect Leader Wei is righteous and reasonable. You are indeed worthy of being the leader of a sect. Yuwen Luo admires you!" Yuwen Luo smiled slightly, but his smile was a little strange. He cupped his fists and said, "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, I will not stay any longer. Farewell!"
Having said that, he turned around and soared into the sky, leaving the Immortal Seeking Sect.
The other disciples of the Heaven Knocking Pavilion also moved, flying out together with Yuwen Luo. Beams of light streaked across the sky, like a meteor shower.
The departure of the people of the Heaven Knocking Pavilion marked the official end of the conflict between the two sects. Of course, this so-called end was just the result of the weak submitting to the strong.
Sect Leader Wen Xian did not say anything else. He just withdrew his gaze from the sky.
The people of the Heaven Knocking Pavilion left one after another. That disciple surnamed Liu was still madly screaming, calling out "I'm innocent". But no matter how loud his voice was, it was as if it didn't reach the ears of the Immortal Seeking Sect Master.
Soon, the disciple surnamed Liu was taken away, and the people of the Heaven Knocking Pavilion also left.
The people of the Immortal Seeking Sect heaved a sigh of relief, but more people had serious expressions. Especially the disciples who guarded the pill furnace room with the disciple surnamed Liu. All of them had their heads lowered, thinking about something.
"What happened today is not a big deal. You don't have to take it to heart."
Sect Leader Wen Xian said in a low voice, "Everyone, quickly clean up the mountain gate, tidy up the roof tiles, repair the boundary, and rebuild the Immortal Seeking Sect. Go!"
"Yes!"
Some of them shouted and flew to the front of the Immortal Seeking Sect.
Xiang Yang flew over and cupped his fists at Sect Leader Wen Xian. "Sect Leader, you forgot something just now."
"What is it?"
Sect Leader Wen Xian asked indifferently.
"The souls of the deceased disciples."
Xiang Yang said, "When the people of the Heaven Knocking Pavilion attacked, they killed their way in. Our sect's elites went to the mountain gate to resist, but unfortunately, they were annihilated. The souls of these disciples were imprisoned in the magic treasures of the Heaven Knocking Pavilion. Sect Leader Wen Xian should have asked them to return the souls."
Sect Leader Wen Xian shook his head. "Return it? So what if we return the souls? "
Xiang Yang was stunned when he heard that.
"The human body is the main body that stores cultivation. Even if the body is destroyed, the soul does not die. Although it is not true death, even if the body is reconstructed and the soul is used to resurrect, the person is just an ordinary person. They will no longer have their previous cultivation. In other words, even if we get the souls back, we will only get some ordinary people. What's the use of that? Moreover... what should we do if they are returned? Reconstructing the body? With so many souls, it is a tedious process that will cost a lot of money. The gains do not make up for the losses! "
Sect Leader Wen Xian said indifferently.
How cruel were those words?
Hearing that, Xiang Yang came to a realization and cupped his fists again. "Sect Leader Wen Xian is right. I am short-sighted. This is indeed not good for the sect's development."
"However, souls are good materials for refining magic treasures."
The Immortal Seeking Sect Master pondered for a moment, then said indifferently, "Xiang Yang, three days later, when you go to offer your items, you can try to ask for these souls. I'll give them all to you as a reward. You can use them if you want."
Xiang Yang was overjoyed and quickly cupped his fists. "Thank you, Sect Leader."
"Do well. The Immortal Seeking Sect will not always be bullied by others. One day, we will return what we did today to the Heaven Knocking Pavilion!"
Sect Leader Wen Xian snorted and turned around, wanting to return to his cultivation place.
Xiang Yang bowed again.
"Sect... Sect Leader! Bad news, Sect Leader! "
Just then, an urgent cry suddenly came from ahead.
Xiang Yang and Sect Leader Wen Xian looked in the direction of the sound and saw an Immortal Seeking Sect disciple flying over in panic.
"What's going on?"
Xiang Yang asked in a deep voice.
The disciple bowed his head and cupped his fists, saying in a trembling voice, "Sect Leader, there are many Immortals... Many Immortals are killing their way in! They are outside the mountain gate... They are killing their way in! "
"More Immortals are killing their way in??"
Xiang Yang was stunned.
Sect Leader Wen Xian's expression was extremely ugly.
What did the Immortal Seeking Sect do today? Why did people come to cause trouble again and again?
"Is it someone from the Heaven Knocking Pavilion?"
"No!"
"Then who is it?"
"I... I don't know either..."
"Hmph! It seems that if the Immortal Seeking Sect doesn't show its might today, they will look down on us! "
Sect Leader Wen Xian was overflowing with murderous intent. At this moment, he seemed to be planning to establish his might.
Sect Leader Wen Xian, Xiang Yang, and some of the Immortal Seeking Sect's elites flew forward, heading straight for the mountain gate.
The disciple who had reported the news also followed behind.
However...
Not long after the Immortal Seeking Sect Leader flew forward, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind him. With lightning speed, it directly grabbed his neck and forcefully pressed him to the ground!
The Sect Leader of the Immortal Seeking Sect was greatly alarmed. He hurriedly turned his head, only to see that the disciple who had reported earlier was raising a pitch-black sword high up in the air, stabbing it straight at his heart...
