Seeing her, Li Wujiu and the two clan elders all smiled warmly. Li Wujiu asked, "Lie Yue, what is it?"
Li Lieyue got straight to the point. "Father, two uncles, Junior Brother Pei will be able to return to the sect very soon!"
At the news that Pei Ling was returning, Li Wujiu and the two clan elders immediately perked up. But before they could celebrate, Li Lieyue continued, "However, Junior Brother Pei has gained some good fortune this time. After returning to the sect, he'll need to go into seclusion immediately, so he won't be able to take over the Sect Master Position for now."
Hearing this, Li Wujiu frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it.
As long as Pei Ling returned safely, the Sect Master Position would be in the hands of his Li Clan!
Li Wujiu was just about to speak when a thought suddenly crossed his mind. He reached out and beckoned, and a Sound Transmission Talisman drifted down from a nearby shelf.
The talisman glimmered faintly, and a voice came through: "Clan Head, the Sect Master suddenly activated the White Bone Palace and left the sect just now. She also closed all the Teleportation Arrays within the sect's territory. I don't know what's happened."
Si Hong Qingyan...
Li Wujiu's expression changed at once. Pei Ling was on his way back to the sect, yet Si Hong Qingyan had suddenly taken the White Bone Palace out of the sect and closed every Teleportation Array...
She was going to intercept and kill Pei Ling halfway!
At the thought, Li Wujiu swiftly rose from the blood pool and said coldly, "Go meet Pei Ling! Hurry!"
