"Junior martial uncle, junior martial uncle, are you in there?"
Qiao Qiao's voice could be heard from far away.
"Yes, I'll be there soon."
Tian Xuanzi replied and stood up. When he reached the entrance of the cave, he stopped and said, "Old man, hang in there. I'll be back soon."
The Seal Suppressor didn't reply and only after Tian Xuanzi left with Qiao Qiao did he let out a long sigh that echoed around the Repent Cliff.
After Tian Xuanzi learned about the situation from Qiao Qiao, he hastened his steps as he was worried that Ding Ning would be killed by Chi Yang if he was late.
However, as soon as they arrived at the guest pavilion, they saw more than ten patrolling disciples running up the mountain in a panic. Their faces were filled with fear and anxiety.
Tian Xuanzi's heart sank and he stopped the patrolling disciple and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Young pavilion master, grand senior martial uncle, something … something happened."
The leading disciple said while gasping for breath.
"Don't panic, speak slowly. What happened?"
Tian Xuanzi shouted and asked calmly.
The patrolling disciple seemed to be influenced by his calm aura. He heaved a sigh of relief and calmed himself down before reporting, "Today is Martial Uncle Tian Wu Zi's shift. We just finished patrolling the mountain and were about to change shifts at the exit when we discovered that Martial Uncle Tian Wu Zi and the other disciples on duty were all dead."
Tian Xuanzi and Qiao Qiao's body shook and they shouted, "What did you say? Tian Wuzi is dead? "
"Yes, grand senior martial uncle, the disciples on duty are all dead as well."
"They died such a horrible death. Their bodies were all burnt to ashes. If it wasn't for the identity token on them, we wouldn't even be able to recognize them."
"Grand senior martial uncle, the other disciples on duty are now guarding the entrance. They are all panicking and don't know what to do."
"Thank god we went to patrol or we would be dead too. The murderer is too scary. The disciples closest to us did not even hear anything."
….
The disciples who came to report the news were all filled with fear and they all started talking at the same time.
Tian Xuanzi looked at these disciples who were scared out of their wits and he was extremely disappointed. Are these people worthy of being a disciple of the Tianji Pavilion? Usually, he was arrogant, but now, when he encountered something, he would be in a state of panic. He was really a good-for-nothing.
"Quiet, all of you go to the entrance and meet up with the other disciples. Be vigilant and protect the scene. I'll go and inform the Grand Elders, and we'll go and see what's going on."
Qiao Qiao frowned and ordered calmly.
After sending the disciples away, Tian Xuanzi and Qiao Qiao exchanged a look and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Tian Xuanzi and the others were all dead, but there were no witnesses. Was there an enemy? Or did someone kill their way out from the inside?
It would be fine if it was the latter, but if it was the former, then things would be troublesome.
However, according to the disciple's description, the way Tian Xuanzi and the others died was similar to what the Medical Saint Gate did. But as of now, it was still too early to make a conclusion since he had not seen the scene with his own eyes.
"Where's Chi Yang?"
Tian Xuanzi asked softly.
"Just now, he had a quarrel with Ding Ning and was persuaded to leave by the Grand Elders. He said angrily that he went to the next room to rest."
Qiao Qiao raised her chin at Chi Yang's room, indicating that he was in that room.
Tian Xuanzi's expression changed slightly, and his face turned gloomy. He said coldly, "There's no one in the room."
Qiao Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and she asked curiously, "Did he go to master's room?"
"No, he's not in senior martial brother's room. The room's window was unlatched, so Chi Yang must have escaped through the window."
Tian Xuanzi said confidently.
"Escaped? Why did he escape? "
Qiao Qiao's mouth opened wide in shock.
"He might not have escaped, he might have met up with the people who were waiting for him."
Tian Xuanzi's face turned gloomy. He couldn't understand why Chi Yang would run away all of a sudden, so he assumed that Chi Yang must have come with a plan.
If the ones who killed Tian Xuanzi and the others were from the Medical Saint Gate, then things would get complicated. Perhaps, Chi Yang was meeting up with them, and they were plotting something.
"What happened?"
Tian Xuanzi's divine psyche probed the room, and Tian Kongzi and the others immediately noticed it. They walked out and asked softly.
"Junior martial uncle, Tian Wuzi and dozens of disciples were killed, and their bodies were burnt to ashes. It seems to be the Medical Saint Gate's killing method. Chi Yang is not in the room either, he escaped through the back window."
Tian Xuanzi explained everything in a simple and concise manner and even added in his own speculations.
Tian Kongzi and the others' expression changed drastically, and they released their divine psyche to find that Chi Yang was indeed not in the room. Judging from the unlatched window, he did escape through the window.
"How did this happen? What is Chi Yang trying to do? "
"The Medical Saint Gate is really audacious, how dare they cause trouble in the Tianji Pavilion."
"What is their purpose? Are they trying to destroy the Tianji Pavilion? "
"Not necessarily. Maybe Chi Yang is afraid of Ding Ning, that's why he escaped."
…
Among the seven grand elders, some were enraged, some were terrified, some were worried, and some were calmly analyzing the situation.
"Oh no, Chi Yang's disciple is still in the room!"
Jojo suddenly thought of something, and her expression changed. She exclaimed and rushed into the room.
The others also suddenly realized that if the Medical Saint Gate had evil intentions, Ding Ning, who had overexerted himself, would be in danger. So, they hurriedly followed her in.
Jojo barged into the room angrily, and when she saw Qingyun standing aside obediently and not doing any harm to Ding Ning, and even looking at her in surprise when she came in, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Miss Qingyun, where's your master?"
Tian Kongzi and the others also followed in, forcibly suppressing the doubts in their hearts, and asked pleasantly.
"Isn't my master resting in the next room?"
Qingyun blinked her big clear eyes and asked in confusion.
"Your master …"
Tian Yangzi's face darkened, and just when he was about to interrogate her sternly, Tian Kongzi pulled his sleeve and stopped him. Only then did Tian Yangzi realize that everything was still a speculation. Before he got the conclusive evidence that the Medical Saint Gate killed Tian Wuzi and the others, it was not a good time to fall out with them.
"What's wrong with my master?"
Qingyun was even more confused, and she always felt that these people in the Tianji Pavilion seemed to be hiding something from her.
"Uh, nothing. Sect Leader Chiyang is not in the room. Maybe he felt bored and went out for a walk. I'll arrange for someone to find him."
Tian Kongzi said politely, keeping his countenance.
Qingyun did not care about it. She replied with an "oh", and then once again focused on Ding Ning, who was trying his best to save Tianji Zi.
"Keep an eye on her and take her down as soon as she makes a move!"
Tian Kongzi winked at Tian Yangzi and the others, and then left the room quietly with Tian Xuanzi and Jojo, running down the mountain.
The remaining six Grand Elders seemed to disperse unintentionally, blocking all the escape routes of Qingyun.
Poor Qingyun knew nothing about it, and she was still appreciating Ding Ning's miraculous treatment skills with relish.
As time went by, Ding Ning's whole body was soaked with sweat as if he had just been fished out of the water. His face was pale and bloodless. He suddenly grasped with his hand with all his strength, and the 13 silver needles stuck in Tianjizi's body suddenly flew back to his hand. He staggered, saw stars, and fell to the ground head-first. Ding Ning's heart sank.
He vaguely seemed to hear Qingyun's scream, smelled a fragrance, and fell into a warm and soft embrace. Then, he completely lost consciousness.
When he woke up slowly, he found himself lying on a bamboo bed, and Jojo was sleeping soundly beside the bed, which made him feel infinite pity for her. When he reached out his hand to caress her beautiful hair, he felt sore all over and couldn't use any strength at all. His hand seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms, and he couldn't lift it at all.
With a bitter smile, he closed his eyes and summoned the Gate of Willpower, stepping into the willpower space with difficulty.
What shocked him was that the old donkey and the ancient temple, which should have been in the willpower space, were nowhere to be found, as if they had never been here.
Ding Ning was full of worries. The willpower space could be said to be one of his biggest secrets. Both the old donkey and the ancient temple were full of evil, and he hoped they wouldn't cause any trouble.
But at this moment, he was extremely weak and had no time to care about that. Like a dry sponge, he crazily absorbed the power of starlight, quickly replenishing his consumption.
The majestic power of starlight entered his body, and he felt like he was soaking in a hot pool in the middle of winter. All the pores all over his body opened up, greedily absorbing every bit of the power of starlight.
However, the level of the law was too high. With his current realm, it was extremely dangerous and difficult to forcefully break it down and guide it into Tianji Zi's body. It made him exhaust all his strength, and he suffered serious losses and almost hurt his foundation. It was impossible to recover in a short time with only the power of starlight.
After being repaired by the willpower space, although his body was once again full of surging vitality and vitality, his spirit was still listless, appearing extremely dispirited and listless. His strength was also greatly reduced, and he could only barely maintain the peak of the True Martial Realm.
Tian Jizi was definitely not as simple as a Saint Martial realm cultivator. The backlash of the Heavenly Dao, the injury of the Great Dao, this level of Dao that entered his body would constantly erode his vitality. Even a Pericelestial expert would not be able to survive in such a situation, but not only did Tian Jizi survive, he could also instinctively cooperate with Tian Jizi's healing, guiding his own life force to forcibly erode the damage of the Great Dao.
After the cultivation time in the willpower space was over, Ding Ning was expelled again. He didn't immediately open his eyes, thinking about the abnormality of Tianji Zi in his mind.
The Empyrean Fairy once told him that when Jenny went crazy and wanted to perish together with her, an old man suddenly intervened and joined forces with her to offset the destructive damage caused by Jenny. She also said that the old man absolutely had power that surpassed the human world.
At that time, Ding Ning suspected that it was Tianji Zi, but later he felt that Tianji Zi could not have such powerful strength, so he rejected the idea.
But at this moment, he could be 90% sure that the old man was Tianji Zi. He didn't know what means he had to be able to have power that surpassed the limits of the human world.
Was it the effect of the Heavenly Way Tablet? Also, what was the gray fog that tried to influence or control Jojo's mind?
The Tianji Pavilion seemed to be full of many unknown mysteries!
Ding Ning really wanted to explore the secrets of the Tianji Pavilion, but at this moment he was occupied with many things, and he had to go to the Ninghai Seventeenth Bureau to meet Zhang Heping. He could only find time in the future to explore.
As for Jojo, with the protection of Ding Ning's amulet and Spiritual Armor, it would not be so easy for the gray fog to attack her again.
Secretly hiding a transmission formation underground, Ding Ning pretended that he had just woken up. He turned over slightly, and Jojo woke up. She looked at him in surprise and said, "You're awake, how are you?"
"I'm fine. I just overexerted myself. I'll be fine after a short rest."
Ding Ning lovingly helped her comb the messy bangs in front of her forehead and said softly.
What he didn't tell her was that his spirit had been greatly exhausted, and his foundation was almost damaged. He couldn't use his Martial Soul and Spiritual Power for a short time, and could only fight with pure physical strength.
