At the head of the hall, there were two jade chairs, one slightly higher than the other slightly lower. Chi Zhongping didn't even think as he walked towards the slightly lower chair and sat down. Chi Zhicheng and Chi Yuxing walked behind Chi Zhongping and stood there with their eyes closed like statues.
Zhuo Pan felt a little awkward. He looked at the jade chair beside him and reminded, "Chi Qishe, can you take a seat? Also, if the two Leaky Immortals don't sit, how can I sit? "
"My son is here to protect me. Ignore them!" Chi Zhongping waved his hand without a trace of a smile on his face. "Take a seat!"
Zhuo Pan thought for a moment and personally moved the jade chair to Chi Zhongping's side. Just as he was about to speak, there were sounds from outside. The Hu family's Hu Ji had brought his son Hu Qing over. The two of them were also surprised by Chi Zhicheng and Chi Yuxing's arrival. They quickly bowed. Chi Zhicheng ignored them. Chi Yuxing opened his eyes a little, raised his hand, and closed them again.
"Is everyone here?" Chi Zhongping looked around and asked Zhuo Pan.
Zhuo Pan replied habitually, "Yes, my lord. We can begin now!"
"En …" Chi Zhongping nodded and didn't say anything else. Zhuo Pan suddenly came to a realization and his face flushed red. He hurriedly said, "Cough cough, I invited all of you here today to discuss how to deal with Helan Que's crisis."
"Crisis?" Hu Ji was a short and stout Mortal Fairy. Although he was a few hundred feet tall, he looked like a merchant. He was a little surprised. "Zhuo Qishe, what do you mean? Isn't this just a drill?"
Zhuo Pan looked at Hu Ji unhappily, cursing him for being so cunning. However, he still smiled and said, "Fellow Celestial Hu, do you really want me to explain everything clearly? I don't believe that with the Hu family's influence in Helan Que, they don't know what's going on!"
"I really don't know!" Hu Ji said innocently. He looked like a cabbage that had just been picked from the ground and washed clean.
"Father …" Hu Qing quickly chimed in. "You have been cultivating in the manor all this time. You don't know about the situation in Helan Que. There are a few rumors in the city …"
After Hu Qing finished speaking, Hu Ji suddenly understood. He twirled his beard and smiled: "That's just a rumor in the marketplace, it can't be taken seriously. I'll need the two Sir Mounted Archers to clarify this matter."
"Alright!" Zhuo Pan looked at Chi Zhongping, who seemed to have not slept the entire night and was now catching up on his sleep. He said helplessly, "Since that's the case, I'll tell Fellow Immortal Hu the truth. Immortal County Lord has indeed gone missing."
"When did this happen?" Hu Ji hurriedly asked.
"About a month ago, I think!" Zhuo Pan told the truth. "The last time I saw Sir Immortal Commandery was when I was patrolling the city. I happened to see a light flashing in the forbidden pavilion. Sir Immortal Commandery ordered me to report to the sect. She personally investigated the situation in the forbidden pavilion. Then, she hurriedly left the city and there was no news of her after that …"
"Perhaps Sir Immortal Commandery went to investigate the Dreamy Cloud Swampland and hasn't returned yet?" Lin Xiao probed. "We don't need to be too nervous!"
"Sir Immortal Commandery did the same thing before …" Zhuo Pan glanced at Chi Zhongping and said, "But generally speaking, Sir Immortal Commandery returns in two or three Yuan days. If it's more than seven Yuan days, Sir Immortal Commandery will give the Immortal Commandery Seal to Sir Mounted Archer and ask him to take charge of the city's affairs and prevent any changes in Yuan Ling Mountain. Chi Qishe, I'm right!"
"Yes, you're right!" Chi Zhongping still had his eyes closed and answered casually. It seemed that he was not really dreaming.
"What about Yuan Ling Mountain?" Hu Ji's expression changed and he hurriedly asked, "Has there been any changes?"
"Not at the moment!" Zhuo Pan answered. "After Sir Immortal Commandery did not return in five Yuan days, I made a prompt decision to send patrolling immortal soldiers to Yuan Ling Mountain. Until now, I haven't found any special changes. However … "
"However what?" Lin Xiao and Zhuo Pan hesitated and asked, "Zhuo Qishe, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Sir Immortal Commandery did not leave behind the Immortal Commandery's seal, so the Immortal Commandery's surveillance immortal weapon is unable to be activated. I have no way of truly monitoring Yuan Ling Mountain." Zhuo Pan smiled bitterly. "Everyone should know that the Yuan Ling of Yuan Ling Mountain has strange methods. The patrolling immortal soldiers might not be able to obtain accurate information. If Sir Immortal Commandery is really trapped in Yuan Ling Mountain, then my Helan Que is in danger! "
Chi Zhongping opened his eyes and opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Zhuo Pan had been looking at Chi Zhongping for a long time. At this moment, he hurriedly asked, "Chi Qishe, do you have any questions?"
"Inside the forbidden area, why …" Chi Zhicheng could not help but ask, but he had just said a few words when Chi Zhongping coughed a few times and interrupted him. Chi Zhicheng immediately turned back into a clay statue.
"Haha, Immortal Chi Xuxian's question hit the nail on the head!" Zhuo Pan hurriedly continued. "What is inside the forbidden area, I am also not clear. Perhaps … Chi Qishe will have some understanding. However, I heard from Sir Immortal Commandery that it is a Heaven Monitoring Immortal Artifact left behind by the Exalted Celestial Residence. Only Sir Immortal Commandery can know about it. Thus, if we want to know what is going on, we can only wait for the new Sir Immortal Commandery to come, or we can only know after we have obtained the authorization. However … "
Zhuo Pan paused for a moment, looked at Lin Xiao and Hu Ji, then said, "Since it is a Heaven Monitoring Immortal Artifact, it must be related to Yuan Ling Mountain. Thus, the possibility of Sir Immortal Commandery being trapped in Yuan Ling Mountain is very high!"
"En, it must be so!" Lin Xiao nodded. "Sir Immortal Commandery saw a strange phenomenon in the Heaven Monitoring Immortal Artifact and went to Yuan Ling Mountain to investigate, but encountered danger!"
"That's right!" Zhuo Pan looked at the two of them and said, "The question is, what kind of strange phenomenon is there in Yuan Ling Mountain?"
"Won't we know when the sect sends people over?" Hu Ji asked curiously. "Why are we discussing such a boring matter here?"
"Haha …" Zhuo Pan laughed bitterly and said, "Earlier, Fellow Daoist Lin was wondering why the sect did not send anyone over. Actually, there is an unforeseen event that I have not told everyone. A few Yuan days ago, all the teleportation channels between Helan Que and the outside world stopped!"
"What?" Not only Lin Xiao and Hu Ji, even Chi Zhongping opened his eyes in shock and asked, "How is that possible?"
"That's right, I also thought that it was impossible, but now, it is like this …" Zhuo Pan looked helplessly at Chi Zhongping and asked, "Chi Qishe, did you encounter it?"
Chi Zhongping originally did not want to say anything, but when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "I did not encounter it."
"The teleportation channels have stopped working, and there is no response from the sound transmission array. Thus, Helan Que has lost contact with the sect," Zhuo Pan continued. "The sect's new Sir Immortal Commandery will not be able to arrive in time, so we … can only protect Helan Que and investigate what happened to Yuan Ling Mountain at the same time. Where did Sir Immortal Commandery go? "
Hu Ji was confused. "I do not understand what Sir Qishe is trying to say."
"How about this …" Zhuo Pan spoke for a long time before finally revealing his true intentions. "I'll be frank with you. Since I've invited everyone here, I want to ask everyone if there was anything strange about the Immortal Commandery before she left. For example, who did she visit and what did she say?"
"This … is this related to Sir Immortal Commandery's disappearance?" Hu Ji was even more confused.
"Cough cough …" Chi Zhongping coughed lightly and explained on behalf of Zhuo Pan, "Deputy Qishe is not referring to the Sky Surveillance Immortal Artifact. Fellow Daoist Hu, didn't you hear the other rumor about Helan Que? Sir Immortal Commandery disappeared for a secret … "
"Sigh …" Zhuo Pan sighed softly. He looked at Chi Zhongping and said sincerely, "Chi Qishe is the most experienced and quick-witted one. I have been in charge of Helan Que's military affairs for a while now, so I forgot to mention the most important thing. Just as Chi Qishe said, there are a few guesses about Sir Immortal Commandery's disappearance. One is what I said just now, the other is what Chi Qishe said. Sir Immortal Commandery left the city because of the strange phenomenon in the forbidden area, or because of some secret. The Sky Surveillance Immortal Commandery can only wait for the sect to send someone over. As for Sir Immortal Commandery's whereabouts … we will have to rely on the information provided by everyone here … "
"This …" Hu Ji came to a realization. He hesitated and looked at Lin Xiao. "I wonder if Sir Immortal Commandery went to the Lin Residence?"
Lin Xiao grinned. "That means Sir Immortal Commandery went to the Hu Residence?"
"I …" Hu Ji's expression changed. Hu Qing, who was behind him, interrupted. "Lord Father, I remember …"
"What do you remember!" Hu Ji hurriedly interrupted Hu Qing. "I am here to discuss matters with Sir Chi Qishe. You just have to listen!"
Zhuo Pan was overjoyed. He smiled and said, "Fellow Immortal Hu, Helan Que's situation is chaotic now. Let's talk about Sir Immortal Commandery's disappearance. She might be trapped somewhere and needs our help. If Fellow Immortal can tell us some clues, wouldn't it be a great merit if we save Sir Immortal Commandery? "
As he spoke, Zhuo Pan turned to look at Lin Xiao. "Don't you think so, Fellow Immortal Lin?"
Lin Xiao looked at Zhuo Pan and then looked at Chi Zhongping. He said, "Now that Chi Qishe and Chi Qishe have returned to Helan Que, I am no longer worried about the chaos in Helan Que. Therefore, we should prioritize Sir Immortal Commandery's safety. I won't hide it from everyone. When I first came to Helan Que and went to visit Sir Immortal Commandery, Sir Immortal Commandery asked me to stay for a while and asked … "
Zhuo Pan's ears perked up. His heartbeat quickened.
"Seven Spiritual Mountains …" Lin Xiao finally said the name of a place. "Sir Immortal Commandery asked me about the Seven Spiritual Mountains in the Lin Residence."
