The Inner Sect.
Meng Qiewei left her courtyard and walked onward.
She lived on a mountain, and the moment she stepped outside, she could see the many steep peaks beyond.
This place was vast, mountain after mountain stretching together, and she rarely encountered disciples passing by on Sword Flight.
It was an excellent place to admire the beautiful mountains of the sect.
A moment later.
Meng Qiewei stopped near the cliff.
She gazed into the distance.
The mountains and rivers were beautiful, the towering peaks laid bare before her eyes.
Feeling the breeze brush her cheeks, Meng Qiewei said softly, "Beyond that lie the desolate mountains."
All these years, no matter how hard the Immortal Gate tried, it could not restore the land to what it had once been.
"Miss, I've found out a few things." Qing Dai descended through the air beside Meng Qiewei. "The sect has decided to detain the son-in-law for three days after he comes out and conduct a brief investigation.
"If there are no problems, he'll be released to await the Immortal Gate's arrival, with some restrictions in the meantime.
"Mostly concerning resources.
"That ox is still being detained. They haven't found anything.
"But he's suspicious nonetheless.
"Also, we can confirm that the Zhao Family released the aura."
"The sect is being this merciful?" Meng Qiewei asked curiously.
Why would someone suspected of involvement with an Evil God be released?
"I found it strange at first too. I thought the New Heavenly Pride had intervened, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry. He's waiting for the Mountain-Suppressing Office to make its decision before intervening," Qing Dai said.
"So someone else intervened ahead of him?" Meng Qiewei asked.
Qing Dai nodded, then said quietly, "The Immortal Gate's Special Inspector, Drunken Floating Life."
