The atmosphere in the main hall was deeply oppressive, and none of them spoke.
After a long silence, Elder Lan Yuqing, the elder in charge of the Transmission Hall, spoke. "We should notify the Sect Leader and ask her to leave seclusion. This matter is too serious. She must decide it herself."
"Yes, I agree with Elder Lan. We need the Sect Leader to decide this herself," Ma Lian, the elder in charge of the Heroic Might Hall, echoed.
"Then let us notify the Sect Leader," said Pill Hall Elder Yang Lanxi.
"All right. I will go notify her myself," said Lan Yuqing, the elder in charge of the Transmission Hall.
With that, she rose and left the Sect Main Hall, arriving at the Private Residence where Sect Leader Ke Meili was in seclusion. At the entrance, the disciples stationed there stopped her.
"I am Lan Yuqing. I have an important matter to report to the Sect Leader. Please send her a message," Lan Yuqing said politely to the disciples on guard, explaining why she had come.
"Please wait a moment, Elder Lan. I will notify the Sect Leader immediately," the disciple leading the guards at the entrance said, bowing respectfully to Lan Yuqing.
She took out a special Communication Jade Talisman that the Sect Leader had specifically left behind and sent her a signal.
Ke Meili was cultivating within the Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth Formation. After decades of cultivation inside the formation, her cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and she was on the verge of breaking through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.
Suddenly, she detected a fluctuation of spiritual power from the sect's emergency Communication Jade Talisman. Before entering seclusion, she had instructed them to contact her through this Jade Talisman only if an urgent matter arose
