Chapter 718
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Chi Yan frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly asked:
"You said before that he started to show abnormalities after returning from Liuquan City?"
"Yes, Sect Master. Do you think Wei Xu's experience is related to Liuquan City?"
The Great Elder's heart moved, as if he had guessed what the Sect Master was thinking, and he hurriedly asked.
"Has Wei Xu done anything else since coming back?"
The voice of the Chiyan Sect Master was low and majestic, and his eyes were fixed on the Great Elder, trying to get some useful clues from him.
When the Great Elder heard the Sect Master's question, he subconsciously turned his gaze to the Second Elder, as if signaling the Second Elder to answer the question.
The second elder looked bewildered and at a loss, secretly complaining in his heart:
How the hell should I know?
He was thinking quickly in his mind, and suddenly froze, as if he remembered something, and said hurriedly:
"Master, I know something. There was a disciple who ascended from the lower realm, named Han Changkong. After Wei Xu returned, he sent people out to monitor Han Changkong's every move, but Han Changkong had already joined the Liren Sect, so the matter was eventually left unresolved."
Upon hearing this news, the leader of the Chiyan Sect was slightly stunned. The Great Elder also slapped his forehead suddenly, as if he suddenly woke up, and said:
"Yes, there is another disciple who joined the Liren Sect named He Ran. He went with Han Changkong."
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Chi Yan instantly fell into deep thought.
He was secretly wondering in his heart, Han Changkong was at best at the early stage of divine cultivation, so why did Wei Xu let his disciples keep an eye on him?
Could this matter be related to Han Changkong?
No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible. How could a little cultivator in the early stage of becoming a god kill Wei Xu right under his nose?
This is simply a fantasy.
However, regardless of whether this matter is related to Han Changkong, at present, this seems to be the only direction worth investigating.
Thinking of this, Sect Master Chi Yan asked:
"Have the disciples who went to the Liren Sect to participate in the Tianjiao Conference returned yet?"
The Great Elder quickly responded:
"Master, this time the team is led by Outer Sect Elder Yu Hao, so the return journey will take two days. However, they should be almost back to the sect by now."
As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, a huge roar was heard above the sect square, and a huge flying magic weapon slowly landed in the center of the square.
Upon seeing this, the three leaders of the Chiyan Sect immediately flashed and appeared in the square in an instant.
The disciples who got off the flying instruments were all dejected and listless.
When the leader of the Chiyan Sect saw this scene, he was stunned and secretly wondered:
What do you mean?
Even if you don't get a ranking in the competition, you don't have to have this expression.
Besides, when has our Chiyan Sect ever won a place in a competition like this? This is too abnormal.
"Yu Hao, come here."
The leader of the Chiyan Sect shouted loudly.
When Yu Hao heard the sect leader's call, he did not dare to delay at all. He flew up directly and flew quickly towards the direction where the three people were.
When he came closer, he bowed respectfully and said:
"Outer Sect Elder Yu Hao greets the Sect Master and the two elders."
The leader of the Chiyan Sect hummed softly and asked:
"Why are you all so dejected?"
Yu Hao replied with a bitter look on his face:
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the Liren Sect is now a fourth-level sect, and they have even sent someone to inform us and ask us to send a congratulatory gift."
When the leader of the Chiyan Sect heard the news, he was stunned and secretly complained in his heart:
Damn, this is level four?
The Li Ren Sect's promotion speed is too fast. It's completely leaving no way for people to survive.
His own Chiyan Sect was already extremely poor and could barely afford to pay the disciples' salaries, yet now he was required to pay tribute?
What should I do?
He sighed helplessly, turned to the Great Elder and asked:
"Great Elder, how many wish beads do we have left?"
When the Great Elder heard the Sect Master's question, his eyelids began to twitch wildly, and he secretly groaned in his heart:
This is really like adding insult to injury.
First, a talented disciple Wei Xu died, and now he has to pay tribute.
He answered with a stiff upper lip:
"Master, there are still 150,000. The main reason is that the population of the lower realm we control is not very large, so the production of these wish beads is relatively slow."
Listen, such a huge level six force only has 150,000 wish beads. Who would believe it if you tell others?
But what can we do now?
Not giving?
Then you can only wait for death.
The leader of the Chiyan Sect weighed the pros and cons in his heart, gritted his teeth, and said:
"Take out 100,000 and give it to the Liren Sect as a gift."
In fact, he still felt a little relieved at this moment, because the sixth-level forces did not have to hand over the divine power.
But he suddenly thought that the other four level five forces would be in trouble.
Then, he was startled and thought to himself:
Damn, could there be a level five sect planning to covet my godhood?
But after thinking about it carefully, it shouldn't be the case. Because our sect is poor, it is impossible for us to offend anyone under normal circumstances.
Moreover, even if these level five sects wanted to rob, they would rob those family forces, and it would never be their turn.
"By the way, let's talk about this competition."
Sect Master Chi Yan temporarily put these worries aside and said to Yu Hao.
When Yu Hao heard this, his eyes widened instantly, and he said in shock:
"Sect Master, after joining the Liren Sect, Han Changkong has actually reached the eighth level of Divine Man and even beat our disciple Xie Ming to death."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
It's only been a few years?
Is that the eighth level of God?
This cultivation speed is too terrifying.
At this moment, Sect Master Chi Yan's mind was working rapidly. He felt that Han Changkong seemed to be hiding many unknown secrets, and these secrets might have some subtle connection with Wei Xu's death...
The leader of the Chiyan Sect was full of doubts in his heart. He no longer hesitated and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
When he appeared again, he had already arrived in Wei Xu's cave.
The cave was filled with an atmosphere of death and sorrow, as if the unwillingness and resentment of Wei Xu's death still lingered.
The Chiyan Sect Master had a solemn expression on his face. He quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and performed an unparalleled secret technique.
Divine power surged around him, and in the flash of light, a mysterious force spread towards the place where Wei Xu died, trying to forcibly absorb the remaining soul of Wei Xu that had not yet dissipated.
Although this secret technique is powerful, it also carries great risks. If you are not careful, you may be attacked by the residual soul.
However, Sect Master Chi Yan no longer cared about these things at the moment. He only wanted to find out the truth from Wei Xu's residual soul and memory and solve the mystery of Wei Xu's bizarre death.
Under the influence of that powerful secret technique, a remnant of Wei Xu's soul was gradually pulled out, presenting a vague and illusory form of light and shadow.
The leader of the Chiyan Sect quickly concentrated his mind, carefully probed his spiritual consciousness into the remnant soul, and began to check Wei Xu's memory fragments.
At first, the picture was a little blurry and intermittent, like a tattered scroll swaying in the wind.
But as Sect Master Chi Yan continued to use his spiritual power to stabilize and repair the memory, the image gradually became clearer.
He saw Wei Xu's experience of going to Liuquan City, his contacts with people from all walks of life in the city, and his attention and arrangements for Han Changkong's affairs after returning, as well as all the details of sending disciples to follow him.
