"What?!"
"Master was killed?!"
"Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Wei are dead?!"
"How can it be!!"
Tantai Mingyue's words were like a huge boulder falling into the lake, causing a shocking wave.
Jian Yue's expression was cold: "Uncle Master, this matter is important, are you really sure?"
Chun Ningzhi, Chen Yunfeng, and Zhang Zheng looked even more horrified, wondering why the acting head would say such earth-shattering words.
Zhenyang Sect is the leader of righteousness in the world, and its six elders are all great monks in the world!
Just a stomp of one's feet can make the spiritual world tremble.
Zheng Shengmo's death has greatly damaged the Zhenyang Sect's strength. If Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan, whose cultivation levels were second only to him, also died, the Zhenyang Sect's top combat strength would probably be less than 50%.
This is no joke!
Tantai Mingyue's voice was solemn and she said slowly: "Now, I won't hide it from you. During the battle at Tianlu Mountain, the witch Xia Qinglian was so powerful that Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Wei had inner demons."
Speaking of this, she glanced at Leng Jing imperceptibly. Leng Jing's face changed slightly, he lowered his head and stopped talking.
In addition to Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan, the people who were so intimidated by Xia Qinglian that they had inner demons were Leng Jing.
But Tantai Mingyue didn't mention him, saving him face.
Suddenly, Leng Jing's expression changed. Could it be that
At this time, Tantai Mingyue continued: "I once refined a treasure that can suppress inner demons, called the 'Healing Soul Pearl'. Two senior brothers came to me privately and asked me for help."
"So I put two soul-healing beads into their spiritual fields respectively, which can suppress the inner demons without affecting their cultivation."
"In order to prevent their inner demons from suddenly intensifying and to treat them in time, I can always sense the soul-healing beads that have been inserted into their bodies to deal with emergencies."
"only."
Tantai Mingyue continued: "Since two days ago, I have been unable to sense the soul-healing beads in their spiritual fields."
Chen Yunfeng hesitated for a moment and asked with a trembling voice: "Uncle Master, what do you mean?"
Zhang Zheng's face turned pale: "Master's spiritual field was shattered, and the soul-healing pearl was also shattered, so you can't sense it?"
Suddenly, several people stared at Tantai Mingyue, hoping to hear a different answer from her mouth, but this could only be extravagant hope. Tantai Mingyue sighed:
"Yes, it is impossible to take out the soul-healing beads by force, so there is only one possibility: their spiritual fields no longer exist."
There was dead silence in the hall.
They are all monks, so they naturally know what it means that the spiritual field no longer exists.
"However, Master and Uncle Wei are both at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul. If they join forces, who else in the world can kill them?"
Zhang Zheng still didn't want to believe this cruel fact.
Leng Jing was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "There is someone who can do it."
"who?"
The three commanding disciples all looked at him. Seeing Leng Jing's gloomy expression, they immediately reacted and said in unison:
"Xia Qinglian?!"
"How is that possible! Isn't she already dead?!"
The three of them looked horrified and in disbelief.
Tantai Mingyue said: "There are not many people in the world who know the Ten Thousand Swords Formation. Xia Qinglian's cultivation and combat power were once the best in the world, and she is a formation master."
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into deathly silence again.
Xia Qinglian, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, is extremely talented, invincible, and has killed countless people.
It is every righteous disciple’s nightmare.
During the battle of Tianlu Mountain, Chun Ningzhi, Zhang Zheng, and Chen Yunfeng were lucky. There was no fighting on the south side of Tianlu Mountain where they were guarding.
Xia Qinglian appeared on the west side of Tianlu Mountain. After the battle, they went to the west side to check. The scene was extremely tragic.
Half of Tianlu Mountain was burned to the ground, and the mountains and rivers turned into icebergs and frozen rivers.
Such wonders can only be achieved by the power of heaven and earth, but the witch changed the mountains and landscapes by herself.
Moreover, they also saw the corpses of countless disciples of the three major sects. These people were obviously used as cannon fodder to consume Xia Qinglian's spiritual power, and then nearly twenty elders of the three major sects besieged her.
After using all possible means, Xia Qinglian finally killed four elders and seriously injured more than ten people. Even the leader Chen Qingmo had to retreat due to serious injuries.
Such a terrifying witch makes my hair stand on end just hearing about it, if she is really not dead.
Chun Ningzhi shuddered and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Master, what should we do?"
Zhang Zheng's fear was more direct: "If Xia Qinglian goes to Zhenyang Mountain to kill us, will we all die?"
Leng Jing clenched her fists tightly, and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably. Tantai Mingyue stretched out her hand under the table and gently held Leng Jing's fist. Finally, Leng Jing's body stopped shaking, and she said softly :
"Don't panic, everyone. This is just my speculation. Besides, even if Xia Qinglian is not dead, she must have been seriously injured and her cultivation level has plummeted."
"Otherwise, with Xia Qinglian's behavior, she would have come to Zhenyang Mountain long ago."
After everyone heard her analysis, they suddenly felt that it made sense and felt relieved.
Jian Yue glanced at Tantai Mingyue and thought that this woman was really thoughtful and could guess so much.
No wonder Chen Qingmo asked her to be the acting head before going into seclusion.
Seeing that everyone's mood had stabilized, Tantai Mingyue continued: "Now we have to do two things. First, we cannot let anyone know that Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Wei have been killed, otherwise the position of the leader of the Zhenyang Sect's righteous path will be difficult to protect. Second, we must not let anyone know that Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Wei have been killed. , we need to find out the real culprit as soon as possible and determine whether Xia Qinglian did it."
Her voice was gentle and firm, making people feel like a spring breeze, like drinking sweet rain, and the emotions of shock and fear gradually eased.
"We can say to the outside world that Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Wei are in seclusion to attack the realm of gods. In this way, we can hide it for a few years. During this period, I hope that several of my nephews will practice hard. When you reach the seventh level of Nascent Soul, you can make up for yours. It’s the master’s position.”
Chun Ningzhi, Chen Yunfeng, and Zhang Zheng stood up and said respectfully: "Disciples will try their best to live up to the expectations of the sect!"
Tantai Mingyue nodded slightly and continued: "As for tracking down the real culprit, I plan to send a group of disciples to the Southern Demon Land to investigate secretly in the next two days. Please select the candidates carefully from each peak."
Leng Jing stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I will obey the master's decree!"
Others also stood up: "I will obey the master's decree!"
After the discussion was completed, everyone left. Leng Jing and Jian Yue were stopped by Tantai Mingyue.
"Brother Leng, niece Ye, I think there are a lot of doubts about Zheng Shengmo's death. What do you think?"
Jian Yue said calmly: "Zheng Shengmo likes to play with female disciples. Master Tantai should know that, right?"
Tantai Mingyue smiled bitterly: "Xiyue, you are right, Zheng Shengmo did deserve to die."
Leng Jing suddenly said: "But Zheng Shengmo raped an ordinary deacon disciple in a dangerous place where beasts are infested. This matter is indeed a bit strange. By the way, that female disciple is a disciple of the head junior sister, right?"
Tantai Mingyue nodded and narrowed her eyes slightly:
"Yes, her name is Lin Qingsi."
