The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Outside the cave, Youluo continued to be responsible for observing the surrounding movements.

"Alas, what my lord and husband said is indeed true; I almost made things worse by trying to help them!"

Youluo was a little annoyed. It was all her own fault; if she didn't use her brain for a long time, it wouldn't work on its own!
"Fortunately, nothing went wrong this time. In the future... in the future, I must consult with him before taking any action."

After silently repeating it three times in her mind and carefully memorizing it, Youluo observed the surrounding situation.

"My lord has killed an elder of the Qingyin Sect. I wonder if we can make them quiet down a bit?"

Thinking about this question, Youluo pondered for a moment, feeling that she couldn't fathom what those people were thinking.

If it were her, she would have used a lightning attack on her first attempt, and if that failed, she would have simply stopped there.

Since the other side is so powerful and has already lost combat strength, why let the enmity deepen?
Of course, Youluo knew that this was just her own opinion and not enough to represent that others would think the same way.

Meanwhile, in the Hidden Spirit World, the Qingyin Sect...

At this moment, the atmosphere within the Qingyin Sect did indeed become somewhat strange.

Xiao Zheng has already reached the level of elder, and is also at the top level of the fourth level of the Earth Realm.

Even within the Qingyin Sect, his position was not low; he belonged to the upper echelons. Therefore, Xiao Zheng also had his own soul tablet, which was placed in the sect's soul hall.

At this moment, a disciple of the Soul Hall came to report in a panic.

Elder Xiao Zheng's soul tablet shattered without warning not long ago!

The shattering of the soul tablet indicates only one reason.

Fallen!

"You mean... Elder Xiao Zheng's soul tablet is broken?!" In the main hall, the Qingyin Sect Master frowned deeply.

Losing a member of the Earth Realm, especially a fourth-level Earth Realm cultivator, was a difficult thing to accept even for a top-tier force like theirs in the Hidden Spirit Land.

The disciple nodded quickly, saying in fear, "I checked three times before rushing over to report to the sect master."

Upon hearing this, the Qingyin Sect Master revealed a cold glint in his eyes: "I remember, Elder Xiao Zheng went to the northern border of Xuanzhou to avenge Vice Sect Master Yin..."

"In the northern border of Xuanzhou, who could kill him?"

It wasn't that the Qingyin Sect Master looked down on the northern border of Xuanzhou, but rather that he was puzzled.

In such a desolate place, it would be quite remarkable if even one mortal appeared.

Moreover, the sect has many affairs to attend to every day, and he himself also needs a lot of time to cultivate. Therefore, the sect leader of Qingyin Sect did not inquire too much about the minor matters of some of the sect elders.

All that is known is that there are some clues about the mysterious death of the Hidden Sect Master's nephew outside.

Then, Xiao Zheng went out, attracting the attention of many people from the Hidden Spirit Land.

This caused quite a stir outside.

How come it's only been a few days...?

"I remember when I first heard this news, I guessed that the murderer was only at the first level of the Earth Realm..."

The leader of Qingyin Sect felt that there might be a conspiracy involved.

In reality, their own elders were lured away by hostile forces and subsequently ambushed and killed.
Similar situations have occurred before, but it's too absurd that Xiao Zheng would die at the hands of someone whose estimated strength was around the first level of the Earth Realm.

Therefore, the leader of Qingyin Sect naturally considered this possibility.

Beside him, the disciple guarding the hall stood with his head bowed, looking numb.

They weren't so worried about their own lives. In this respect, the Qingyin Sect wasn't as cruel as other sects. If the soul tablet of an important figure in the Soul Hall was broken, they would blame the disciple guarding it.

After all, if things continue like this, those assigned to guard the Soul Hall will likely find a chance to escape in the end.

Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well run away sooner rather than later.

"Alright, I understand. You may leave now." As expected, the Qingyin Sect Master simply waved his hand, dismissing the disciple on duty.

Just then, another man rushed in from outside, looking anxious, with a hint of heaviness and seriousness in his expression.

"Sect Master, the recording of Elder Xiao Zheng's fall, captured on the memorial stone, has been transmitted back and is on its way. It will be delivered to the sect immediately."

"Is there a recording stone?"

Upon arriving here, the Qingyin Sect Master already sensed that something was amiss.

If Xiao Zheng was truly ambushed and killed, there shouldn't be any record of him being preserved.

After all, if people found out that some other force was behind this, it would be an irreconcilable feud with the Qingyin Sect.

Unless... Xiao Zheng was truly killed in the midst of a battle with that person, right before everyone's eyes!
In such a situation, there would be at least a thousand cultivators watching, so it's normal for someone to be recording.

Inside the main hall, the disciple guarding the gate was about to walk out when he heard these words and was startled.

Although he was incredibly curious, as if ants were scratching at him, the disciple dared not linger and quickly left the main hall, returning to the Soul Hall.

Inside the main hall, the Qingyin Sect Master fell silent, pondering something as he waited for his disciples to bring over the recording stone.

After a short while, a Grandmaster who had reached the mortal realm hurriedly flew into the Qingyin Sect and headed straight for the main hall on the peak.

Upon seeing this person, the Qingyin Sect Master's eyes instantly sharpened.

"Sect Master, I've brought the recording stone," said Fang Yun, a steward of the Qingyin Sect.

After obtaining the recording stone, he flew directly from the Northern Territory back to the Hidden Spirit World without stopping for a moment.

"Thank you for your hard work, Deacon Fang." The Qingyin Sect Master nodded and said, "Where's the recording stone? I'd like to see why Elder Xiao Zheng's death was so mysterious!"

Upon hearing this, the steward Fang Yun, who had rushed back all the way, had a strange expression on his face.

He happened to be on business in the Eastern Territory, and upon hearing the news, he immediately rushed to the Northern Territory.

They then purchased this replica of the photographic stone.

Upon receiving it, out of curiosity, Fang Yun had already taken the first step and looked through its contents.

After reading it, Fang Yun had only one thought in his mind...

Xiao Zheng... died a worthy death!

The intense battle raging inside, even through the recording stone, sent chills down Fang Yun's spine, a Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm.

Not to mention, how terrifying it would have been if we had actually faced it head-on back then.

Especially at the end, the fiery red divine bird that appeared... amazed the world!
The Qingyin Sect Master took the recording stone and calmly placed it on the table.

Then, a wisp of spiritual consciousness connected with it and began to slowly display the images stored inside once again...

The scene on the mountaintop is revealed, with many people densely packed around it.

However, in a large clearing at the mountaintop, there were only two figures... (End of Chapter)
