"This …"
Everyone in the room was taken aback.
There was no doubt about Elder Mo's identity. Even if one hadn't met him before, they could still make a guess based on Elder Yu Chen's attitude. Since the person with the highest seniority in the Azure Sky Sect said such words, could it be that Elder Mo was speaking the truth?
Was the Immortal-Suppressing Sect really in cahoots with The Great Demon?
If that was the case, it would be a little scary.
Throughout history, there had been many sects that had colluded with demonic cultivators, but in the end, all of them had been wiped out.
Ignoring everyone's reaction, Mo Yuan looked at Elder Yu Chen and said, "Tell me everything you know!"
"Yes …"
Elder Mo Feng recounted everything that had happened, including how the Silver-winged Green Jiao was killed, how he had started to suspect something, and how he had snuck into the other party's courtyard, how he had been defeated by the Great Demon King, and how he had fled in a sorry state. He did not conceal anything.
"Even though the Immortal-Suppressing Sect has been on the decline for the past ten thousand years, they have never had a bad reputation. They hate demonic cultivators as well, so why would they help The Great Demon of Bliss?"
"Now that the Sect Leader and the others are dead, the Immortal Suppressing Sect is just an empty shell. It's normal for them to be afraid of the Demon King!"
"Eight thousand years ago, not even the strongest cultivator on the continent could kill him. If you don't cooperate with him, he'll kill you. Do you think you can stand against him?"
Someone in the crowd analyzed.
"This …"
Hearing those words, the room immediately fell silent. It was so quiet that it was terrifying.
It had to be said that it was possible.
If the Immortal-Suppressing Sect was at its peak, they might have fought with him, but now … they were poor. It was not surprising that they would make such a choice.
"Let's listen to what Mo has to say!"
Everyone turned to look at Elder Yu Chen, wanting to hear his opinion.
"There's indeed something wrong with the Immortal-Suppressing Sect!"
Mo Yuan said, "Firstly, The Great Demon of Bliss has escaped from the seal, and what he wants to do the most is to recover his strength. In order to do so, he has to either kill a living being or extract the spirit vein! I've asked Yunfeng Physicians, and he said that there are no signs of living beings being massacred here! Therefore, he must have chosen the second option, and the best spirit vein here is in the hands of the Zhen Immortal Sect. "
"Secondly, if The Great Demon was secretly stealing the energy of the spirit vein, no matter how weak the Immortal Subduing Sect is, they would definitely be able to detect it. But now, they haven't reported it, nor have they done anything. Something is obviously wrong."
Although many sects were just here to watch the show, as long as the Immortal Suppressing Sect reported it, many sects would still unite. Otherwise, the so-called sect alliance was just for show.
But the reality was that The Great Demon hadn't made a move, and neither had the Suppressing Immortal Sect. It was terrifyingly quiet … What happened? Was The Great Demon dead?
"What do we do now?"
"That goes without saying. The Subduing Immortal Sect has colluded with The Great Demon, which is a violation of the Alliance's principles.
"A dignified first-rate sect actually doesn't know how to resist when encountering a demonic cultivator. What's the point of keeping them? In my opinion, we should destroy them as a warning to others! "
…
There was a lot of discussion.
Seeing that the dispute couldn't be resolved, Elder Mo Feng clasped his fist and bowed. "Mo Yuan, you are the strongest and the most senior here. Our Windlightning Sect is willing to follow your lead!"
"Indeed, Mo Yuan should make the decision!" Everyone turned to look at him once more.
"This matter involves a first-rate sect. We can't act recklessly …"
A glint flashed across Mo Yuan's eyes as he said calmly, "How about this? Tonight, we'll set up a trap around the courtyard that Elder Mo Feng spoke of. Make sure that The Great Demon doesn't escape. Tomorrow, we'll go up the mountain to interrogate him. If he admits to it, then so be it. Otherwise, we'll search the courtyard, and if we find that he's colluding with The Great Demon, capture all of the elders and disciples for trial by the Alliance of Sects.
"Alright!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In order to prevent any accidents from happening, they had brought quite a few people with them. With more than a dozen powers working together, even the Qingyun Sect wouldn't dare to face them head-on, let alone the Subduing Immortal Sect. If they were to make a move, the latter wouldn't be able to stand up to them.
"What about the auction?"
"The auction will continue as usual. Since we've caused such a huge commotion, we'll definitely arouse suspicion if we suddenly stop the auction. However, let's make things clear in advance. We'll compete fairly, and whoever has the ability to take the treasure will take it away. We mustn't let the Subduing Immortal Sect buy it!"
Mo Yuan added, "Of course, if they don't come to buy it or aren't sincere about it, it means that they're the ones who put the treasure up for sale! That way, we can be certain that they're colluding with The Great Demon. "
If the Subduing Immortal Sect had a treasure of this level, the Sect Leader and the others wouldn't have had to take the risk to go to Jade Sea. If they didn't have it in the past, it was easy to guess that something was amiss.
"Let's begin. Let's make things clear in advance. Whoever leaks this information will become the enemy of the Qingyun Sect and the Alliance of Sects. We'll fight to the death!"
Elder Yu Chen looked around before his gaze landed on the group of wandering cultivators and Boss Zhu Yiming.
"Don't worry, we know what's important!" The one-eyed old man harrumphed coldly.
Even though they were wandering cultivators who sought profit above all else, they were still united against demonic cultivators.
"I'm just a businessman. I won't interfere in the affairs of the sects …" Zhu Yiming nodded.
"That's good!" Elder Yu Chen waved his hand and said nothing more.
After the discussion was settled, everyone returned to their rooms to make preparations. Soon, only Mo Yuan and the others were left in the room.
"Yu Chen, you don't have to go tomorrow. Wait for my news. If there's any problem, bring your men back to the Qingyun Sect immediately!" Mo Yuan said.
"Senior Uncle …" Elder Yu Chen's face warped in shock.
"The Great Demon of Bliss might have been trapped here for eight thousand years, and it's impossible for him to recover from his injuries quickly, but as a demon who has dominated the world for so long, he's bound to have many tricks up his sleeves. Not to mention, he has the support of the Subduing Immortal Sect as well.
Mo Yuan said calmly, "Preserve your strength!"
"Yes, Senior Uncle!" Elder Yu Chen nodded reluctantly.
Seeing the grim expression on Elder Yu Chen's face, Mo Yuan consoled him with a smile. "Don't worry. As long as we can obtain that weapon, even if we can't defeat The Great Demon, I'll still be able to escape with my life!"
"No matter what price I have to pay, I have to obtain it …" Elder Yu Chen nodded. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Doctor Chu Jiang suddenly rushed into the room.
"Grandteacher, master, bad news …"
"What's wrong?" Yunfeng Physicians frowned.
"The young lady who came with grandteacher suddenly fainted while we were strolling around the market. The other physicians and I tried our best to treat her, but it was to no avail. She's already … already dead!"
Doctor Chu Jiang said with a pale face.
"This is bad … Hurry up and take a look!"
Mo Yuan's pupils shrunk. Without hesitation, he rushed out first.
This was the Great Yan Emperor's favorite princess. He brought her here to find supreme dan beads to cure her illness. If he couldn't find anything and she died, he wouldn't be able to absolve himself from the blame!
Although the Qingyun Sect wasn't afraid of the Great Yan royalty, it would still be troublesome to offend them.
