Inside the Assembly Hall.
The place was still bustling with activity, as cultivators and Rogue Cultivator from various factions formed teams to exchange tasks.
Zhongchang Gong, Lan Hai and his group, along with Ye Qiubai and his companions, also returned to this place.
After the task handover is completed.
Zhongchang Gong smiled and looked at Ye Qiubai and his companions, saying, " Brother Ye, would you and your fellow disciples like to come and visit my Divine Body Sect?"
"I will make the introductions for you. Our Divine Body Sect also welcomes talented individuals from other forces."
Upon hearing this...
Fang Qiong, Mu Fusheng, and Xiao Hei all frowned imperceptibly.
Ye Qiubai shook his head. "No need. Our purpose here is to train, so let's not waste any more time."
"Just give us the map and the rewards for completing this mission."
Hearing Ye Qiubai's words.
Zhongchang Gong and Lan Hai exchanged a glance, then Zhong Changgong chuckled and said, "I've already sent someone to fetch it. Don't worry, the mission rewards and map information will be delivered to you together."
Ye Qiubai nodded.
Then, after glancing at Mu Fusheng, the two exchanged a subtle glance.
Mu Fusheng nodded slightly and slowly Perfected Person, pretending to observe the mission. In reality, a talismanic power was quietly surging within his hand...
Within Fang Qiong's palm, the power of illusion arrays was also brewing.
Their purpose was quite obvious, and once they arrived at the Assembly Hall, they made no attempt to conceal it.
The eye contact between Zhongchang Gong and Lan Hai was no longer concealed as before.
At this moment.
Xiao Hei transmitted his voice, "Outside the main hall, many powerful figures are surrounding this place."
Fang Qiong then added, "There's a spatial isolation array outside, which is slowly forming."
For Xiao Hei, the perception of killing intent was extremely clear.
Therefore, when there is undisguised murderous intent in the outside world, Xiao Hei can easily sense it.
Fang Qiong possesses the constitution of Good Fortune Formation Spirit Physique, making him extremely sensitive to the aura of array formations.
but.
An array that merely isolates space poses no threat to Mu Fusheng and his companions.
The Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman is not a talisman that relies on space.
This is also the source of Ye Qiubai and his companions' confidence.
At this moment.
An old man suddenly appeared beside Zhongchang Gong.
Those around were slightly taken aback upon seeing this.
"Isn't that Elder Zhong from the Divine Body Sect? Why is he suddenly here?"
"Shouldn't the elders of the Divine Body Sect and the Divine Array Sect be dealing with matters concerning the Dark Demon energy?"
"Could it be that there's some important mission that requires the inner sect elders to issue it personally?"
Upon seeing this, Zhongchang Gong and Lan Hai respectfully clasped their hands in greeting.
Elder Zhong nodded slightly, then looked at Ye Qiubai and his group, and said, "So, you're the ones who need the map information?"
Ye Qiubai nodded.
Elder Zhong nodded, "Since Changgong agreed to your request and played a significant role in the mission, this intelligence is rightfully yours."
As he spoke, Elder Zhong tossed a spatial ring to Ye Qiubai.
After Ye Qiubai took it, he handed it directly to Mu Fusheng.
When Mu Fusheng took it, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he calmly put it away, saying, "It is indeed map information."
Elder Zhong nodded and smiled, "For those who have made contributions, our Divine Body Sect will naturally not be stingy with rewards."
These words echoed throughout the entire Assembly Hall, clearly intended for the other people who had accepted the mission.
"However..." Elder Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly, locking onto Ye Qiubai like eagle eyes.
"Shouldn't you hand over what you stole from Changgong to my Divine Body Sect?"
"That sword was given to my Changgong for self-defense. Now that the matter is over, you should return it."
"You should know that's one of the most precious treasures of our Divine Body Sect."
That's all.
Everyone around was taken aback.
Did they steal the Divine Body Sect's most precious treasure?
In this Divine Descent Star Region?
Are you out of your mind?
In the Divine Descent Star Region, the Divine Body Sect is the absolute ruler, second only to the Divine Array Sect!
Upon hearing these words...
Ye Qiubai smiled, unsurprised.
"What are you laughing at?" Elder Zhong frowned slightly. "You don't seem surprised at all?"
Ye Qiubai smiled faintly and shook his head, "It is quite unexpected indeed."
"However, what's unexpected isn't that you even have the idea of stealing this sword, but that you'd use such a clumsy excuse to try and steal it."
Zhong Zhongchang Gong's expression darkened, and he hissed, "Stop spouting nonsense! If it weren't for the theft, how could you possibly possess a treasure of this caliber?!"
Ye Qiubai laughed and said, "I won't argue with you. Anyone with eyes can see the flaws in such a clumsy explanation."
You're from a body-refining sect.
How could someone possess a priceless treasure related to swords?
really.
Several observant people nearby also witnessed this scene.
He couldn't help but chuckle softly, "It is indeed rather clumsy."
"It's probably a treasure that even the Divine Body Sect couldn't resist. I wonder what level it is."
However, even if someone notices it, these people won't choose to expose it on the spot.
After all, the Divine Body Sect is a giant in the Divine Descent Star Region.
They're not to be trifled with.
At the same time, Ye Qiubai and the others did not know them.
Even if you can afford to offend someone, there's no need to help a complete stranger and risk offending a giant from the Divine Descent Star Region!
That would be a huge loss.
Elder Zhong naturally understood this principle as well.
This flimsy reason was merely a pretext to get the Divine Body Sect to take action.
I managed to snag one.
They killed Ye Qiubai and the other parties involved.
Let's create a little more buzz.
Such opposing voices from the outside world naturally disappeared.
"It seems you're unwilling to give it; then don't blame us, the Divine Body Sect, for being impolite."
As soon as Elder Zhong finished speaking...
Suddenly, barriers rose up all around!
Enclosing the entire Assembly Hall within!
The entire space seemed to be sealed off at that moment.
at the same time.
One after another, powerful figures at the God General Realm or even above appeared around the Assembly Hall.
The energy was completely focused on Ye Qiubai and his group of four.
Everyone looked around.
It seems they were prepared in advance.
That's what made the Divine Body Sect mobilize such a large force.
What level of supreme treasure has it reached?
It must be at least at the Divine Sovereign level...
At this point, Zhongchang Gong completely abandoned all pretense of civility, looking at Ye Qiubai and the other three with a cold laugh, "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
Ye Qiubai laughed, a mocking laugh, and said, "Do you think you've hidden it well? When you first mentioned it, we already guessed what you were thinking."
"If you're not confident, do you really think we'd easily follow you back to this Assembly Hall and walk right into your trap?"
"What do you mean?" Zhongchang Gong's face darkened, and suddenly his heart tightened slightly.
Ye Qiubai smiled but didn't say anything.
Suddenly, Fang Qiong reached out from beside him.
A massive illusion array, imbued with celestial power, enveloped the entire Assembly Hall!
