The Clear Sky Sect Knows the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor's Whereabouts!
After this conversation...
Dugu Xin then learned that Ye Qingcheng and her daughter had arrived several days earlier than planned.
At the same time, Dugu Xin also learned another piece of information that shocked him greatly.
That is, several top-tier and famous families and sects on the mainland actually sent heavyweight figures to the event.
This includes Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, and Tang Zhen, the current sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect!
The leaders of the two major Upper Three Sects.
He actually led the team to Spirit City himself!
This was unprecedented, so much so that even Dugu Xin was shocked.
"This... the two sect leaders actually came in person?"
Seeing him like this, Ye Qingcheng sighed helplessly.
"What else could it be?"
"The last assassination attempt caused quite a stir."
"In a fit of rage, the Pope of the Spirit Hall unleashed a massacre within Spirit City, leaving countless heads rolling."
"Among them happened to be people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect."
"The two sect leaders came here in person, ostensibly to observe the ceremony, but I suspect they also intend to apologize to the Spirit Hall."
After hearing this analysis...
Dugu Xin immediately showed a thoughtful expression.
The assassination attempt on the Eldest Young Master the Spirit Hall in the Star Dou Great Forest last time caused such a huge uproar that the entire Soul Master World was on edge.
All the major powers were quite frightened.
They all sent people to the Spirit Hall to explain and distance themselves from the matter.
But what was the result?
The Pope of the Spirit Hall never even showed his face once.
It makes sense that the sect leaders of the Upper Three Sects and two other sects personally came here this time.
That's all I can think of.
Dugu Xin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The Spirit Hall's power is so immense that it is terrifying.
Even the Upper Three Sects, who have always been high and mighty, have to bow down and submit to the Spirit Hall.
At the same time.
Spirit Mountain
Pope's Palace.
Even though Qian Xunji had been putting on a high and mighty demeanor as the Pope all this time...
When faced with a joint audience between Tang Zhen, the current sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, and Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, both of whom are top-tier figures in the continent, he had no choice but to grant them an audience.
What?
Who do you think Tang Zhen is?
He is naturally Tang Chen's son, and the biological father of Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.
The current sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect!!!
Pope's Palace.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect sat facing each other.
The atmosphere was quite subtle.
Fortunately, both sect leaders adopted a very humble attitude.
Not long after they sat down, the two sect leaders stood up at the same time and took the initiative to express their most sincere apologies to Qian Xunji.
Let me reiterate once again that both of our sects harbor absolutely no ill will towards the Spirit Hall.
As for the spies and disciples of the two major sects who were executed on the spot by the Spirit Hall...
Ning Fengzhi and Tang Zhen both expressed their opinions in unison.
Those people were traitors who had long been expelled from their respective sects.
Their entry into the Spirit Hall was purely a personal act.
It has absolutely no connection whatsoever with the Clear Sky Sect or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!!!
Now that the Spirit Hall has killed them, it's just cleaning house for them; killing them is no big deal.
They came specifically to apologize.
The main purpose was to clarify the facts and prevent His Holiness the Pope from having any unnecessary misunderstandings.
Qian Xunji smiled Qian Xunji at their impeccable and well-reasoned explanation, but inwardly he scoffed at it.
We're all foxes who've been around for a thousand years.
What kind of ghost story are they putting on??
These lies are only good for fooling the ghosts below.
However, for Qian Xunji, the deaths of those spies were truly insignificant.
The practice of infiltrating and planting spies and agents among various sects is already an open secret among the major powers.
Let alone other sects.
Even within the Upper Three Sects and the two great empires, didn't they have spies planted by the Spirit Hall?
The reason for ordering the killings in the first place.
It was entirely because Qian Renchuan's assassination attempt had put him in a state of extreme rage, and he needed to use a head to vent his anger and establish his authority!
Seeing that the two major sects were so sensible in yielding, Qian Xunji went along with it.
After graciously accepting the generous gifts from the two sect leaders, the atmosphere in the main hall immediately became harmonious.
After another round of trivial chatter...
Tang Zhen, the Clear Sky Sect, and Ning Fengzhi stood up together and bowed to Qian Xunji to take their leave.
We plan to go down the mountain and return to the hotel to rest, while waiting for the coronation ceremony of the Saint Son and Saintess, which will begin in a few days.
Qian Xunji was equally polite.
He immediately waved to summon the Hall Guard Knights outside, ordering them to personally escort the two patriarchs away from the Pope's Palace.
However.
Tang Zhen and Ning Fengzhi had only walked a short distance from the Pope's Palace.
Tang Zhen, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped.
He slapped his thigh abruptly and spoke to Ning Fengzhi apologetically.
"Oops!"
"Sect Master Ning."
"Look at my terrible memory!"
"That's when I remembered that I left something extremely personal in the Pope's Palace."
As he spoke, Tang Zhen immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ning Fengzhi.
"I'm so sorry, I have to go back and look for it right away."
"Sect Master Ning, you should go down the mountain with this knight first. You don't need to wait for me."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Ning Fengzhi's reply and hurriedly returned along the same route.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered as he watched Tang Zhen's departing figure.
Did you forget something?
That's fooling a three-year-old.
That old guy is definitely up to something!
Tang Zhen clearly had something extremely important that he needed to discuss privately with Qian Xunji, away from him.
But since the other party has come up with such a high-sounding excuse...
It's obvious she doesn't want him to know what's inside.
Although Ning Fengzhi was curious, he couldn't bring himself to follow them, especially since there were several Spirit Hall Guard Knights nearby.
All he could do was snort.
He turned around and continued down the mountain.
Pope's Palace.
Looking at Tang Zhen, who had left but returned.
Qian Xunji remained calm, seemingly unsurprised by his return.
"Sect Master Tang."
"You've returned; is there something extremely important you wish to discuss with me?"
Tang Zhen's expression was solemn.
He walked to the center of the main hall and remained silent for Jiujiu.
It seems they are still engaged in some kind of internal struggle.
After a long silence, he took a deep breath, looked up at Qianxunji opposite him, and said in Qian Xunji voice,
"Yes, something is indeed wrong."
"Your His Holiness the Pope, I have overheard that you have been sending people to search for the whereabouts of the Blue Silver Emperor, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Plant-type Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Upon hearing the words "Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor".
Qian Xunji's eyes suddenly sharpened as she sat on the Papal Throne.
"Oh?"
What does "Sect Master Tang" mean?
This time, Tang Zhen was completely unpretentious, meeting Qian Xunji's gaze without Qian Xunji as he spoke.
"The Clear Sky Sect recently obtained a clue about the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, which might be of great use to the Pope."
Upon hearing Qian Xunji, Qian Xunji immediately stood up.
Where?
