Taishang Lost His Composure

She murmured to herself.

A look of suspicion flashed through Zhao Gongming's mind.

His expression remained unchanged as he calmly said...

"Can you see what's there?"

The young man looked ahead curiously, but saw nothing.

The mountaintop was empty; there was nothing there.

"I can't see it, there's just an empty space."

"Is there something fishy going on here?"

The young man didn't seem to be lying.

Zhao Gongming was taken aback.

'Could it be that the senior knew this young man's origins were illegitimate, and therefore directly blocked his divine sense?'

'That's highly likely; I reckon only Senior Lin Tian possesses such power!'

These thoughts flashed through my mind.

The sense of defensiveness intensified.

He was naturally observant and noticed the disciple's suspicious behavior early on.

He immediately rebuked them.

Who exactly are you?

"Confess honestly, or I won't be so polite!"

Zhao Gongming lowered his voice, not daring to make a loud noise, but the murderous intent in his tone was not concealed at all.

The young man was taken aback, and said embarrassedly, "Uncle-Master, what do you mean by this?"

"This disciple has only come to seek an opportunity."

"I had no other intention."

Zhao Gongming didn't want to make a move here either.

He scolded.

"Since you are Jie Sect Disciple, why do you disobey the prohibitions issued by the Sage!"

"Your grandmaster has explicitly forbidden you from leaving the sect without permission! Especially those who are weak!"

"How did you, a mere Golden Immortal, get out here?!"

"Go back immediately! You know the consequences if your master finds out!"

Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's words, the young man was visibly taken aback, his eyes twitched slightly, and he said somewhat dejectedly.

"This disciple understands..."

"However, this disciple's strength is too weak, and I encountered some trouble on the way, preventing me from returning on time. I only recently arrived at the Interception Sect ground, but the formation there has already been closed..."

"I had no other choice, so I came here to seek an opportunity..."

"I wonder if my uncle will be able to bring me back to the Interception Sect later?"

Hearing the young man's words.

Zhao Gongming frowned, looked him up and down, waved his hand, pointed to a corner of the mountain peak, and said.

"Then you go wait for me there. I have some business to attend to with your three senior uncles."

"Do not make any noise."

Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's words, the young man exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Martial Uncle!"

After speaking, he turned and walked towards a corner of the mountaintop.

Then he stood there and looked around.

As he watched his figure, a hint of doubt flashed in Zhao Gongming's eyes.

He transmitted his voice to the Three Xiaos.

"Junior sisters, there's something wrong with this disciple."

As for what the problem is, I can't quite put my finger on it.

"They're wearing the robes of Jie Sect Disciple, and they're at a senior's monastery; it's not convenient to investigate."

"However, I have already memorized his aura. The Interception Sect will investigate him thoroughly later; perhaps he is a spy sent by the Chan Sect or the Western Teachings."

Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's words...

The Three Xiaos, who had been standing silently behind him, suddenly became solemn.

A strange look appeared on Yunxiao's cold and beautiful face.

"There is indeed a problem. I have already entered the ranks of the Daluo Golden Immortal, yet I didn't notice anyone behind me at all. That young man came silently; we couldn't detect him."

"Such an ability to conceal one's aura can only be possessed by Eldest Senior Brother Duobao and Senior Brother Gongming."

Bixiao, standing behind him, frowned and asked suspiciously.

"Moreover, the senior's courtyard is right in front of him, yet that young man couldn't see it."

Why is that?

Upon hearing her words, Zhao Gongming replied with a solemn expression.

"I don't know either. Perhaps Senior Lin Tian did this on purpose?"

"Such an extraordinary feat could only have been accomplished by Senior Lin Tian..."

Qiongxiao, however, paid no attention to the young man and instead urged, "Alright, senior sisters and brothers, let's wait until we return to the Interception Sect with that disciple before discussing this further."

"The most important thing now is to see Senior Lin Tian!"

"As for this young man's problem, we can ask Senior Lin Tian about it later!"

Hearing Bixiao's words.

Zhao Gongming nodded solemnly and said, "Junior Sister is right. Senior Lin Tian's matter is more important. Let's go!"

The four of them said nothing more and headed towards the entrance of Lin Tian's courtyard.

Not long after.

It was under the watchful eyes of the young man standing nearby.

They arrived at the gate of Heavenly Court's courtyard.

The young man stared at Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos with curiosity.

A thought struck me.

He hurried over here, looking excited.

"Four senior uncles, what are you doing standing in that open space?"

"Have you discovered some priceless treasure?"

"Would you like your disciple to come and help?"

Zhao Gongming glanced at the young man; his uninvited arrival annoyed Zhao Gongming.

"I told you to wait in the distance, why did you come over?"

"Even if I've discovered some supreme treasure, Mid-stage Quasi-Sage, do I need your help?!"

Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's reprimand, the young man immediately looked embarrassed.

"Um, Uncle-Master, I was just too eager to find the treasure."

Zhao Gongming said, "Your strength is too weak to see the special features of this place. Stand there and don't move. I'll be out in a moment!"

"Remember, this matter must not be spread!"

Upon hearing this, the young man's eyes narrowed, and he immediately spoke.

"Please rest assured, Uncle-Master! I won't tell anyone!"

The young man finished speaking.

I thought Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos were going to use some kind of secret technique.

Summon magical artifacts or something similar.

But the next moment.

Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos Immortals vanished without a trace!

They vanished without warning, without any trace of their presence...

The young man was completely dumbfounded.

Where are they!?

How could they suddenly disappear!?

The young man blinked, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

Although he was Sage, he had suppressed his cultivation to the extreme.

But his spiritual consciousness remained unchanged.

He was so close to Zhao Gongming, yet he sensed nothing!

"How is that possible!?"

"Could it be that Tongtian's ability to study formations has become so powerful?"

"Or is it that Tongtian's strength has completely surpassed mine!?"

The thought flashed through the mind of Taishang, who was disguised as a young man.

A sudden chill ran down my spine; an ominous premonition began to spread.

"That's very likely..."

"But what's the use now!?"

Even I cannot find out where Zhao Gongming went!

"It's even less likely that we'll find the treasure now!"

Taishang thinking of this, Taishang suddenly felt extremely depressed!

I was scolded by Zhao Gongming several times just now.

To think that he, Sage, would be scolded so harshly by a mere Quasi-Saint.

I already felt incredibly frustrated.

Now, I thought the opportunity was right in front of me, but unexpectedly, I missed it again!

It absolutely infuriated him!

The so-called "Taishang Being Forgetful of Emotions" emphasizes non-action.

At that moment, his inactive mindset completely collapsed.

I just want to smash this mountain to pieces!
