Drive people away

However, the Xianyun Sect Disciple didn't take this seriously at all.

He curled his lip disdainfully and sneered, "Hmph, why so much nonsense? If we tell you to wait, just wait obediently. If you keep babbling, don't blame us for being impolite!"

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, completely igniting the Third Elder's rage.

The Third Elder's hair and beard bristled, his eyes widened, and a sharp Aura seemed to emanate from his entire body.

He suddenly charged forward, looking as if he was about to directly break into the mountain gate.

"Presumptuous!" the Third Elder roared, "With how your Xianyun Sect treats guests, how do you still have the face to stand in the Cultivation World!"

Just as the tension was high and conflict was about to erupt, a majestic voice came from inside the Xianyun Sect's mountain gate: "Stop!"

A middle-aged man wearing a luxurious long robe and a jade crown slowly walked out.

His face was handsome, his eyes like lightning, and his every movement displayed the bearing of a Sect Head.

It was the Xianyun Sect Master who had personally appeared.

The Sect Head first frowned, his gaze stern as he swept over his own Disciples, and immediately began to scold them, "Look at yourselves, what kind of behavior is this! This way of treating guests is simply a disgrace to my Xianyun Sect's reputation!"

Upon hearing this, those Xianyun Sect Disciples all lowered their heads, their faces showing fear, not daring to utter a sound.

But when he turned his head to look at the Hua Yun Sect group, his eyes were full of disdain.

He slightly narrowed his eyes, a faint cold smile playing on the corner of his mouth, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"Your Sect's Elder is a bit too impatient. This pure land of Buddhism is not a place where you can act recklessly according to your temper. If you are so impatient, how can you handle important matters?"

When the Third Elder heard this, his beard immediately bristled with anger. His eyes widened in fury, and he said sharply, "Sect Head, you are mistaken! My Hua Yun Sect has traveled a long distance, yet you don't even show basic courtesy. With such impoliteness, how can you still have the face to say we are impatient?"

The Xianyun Sect Master was unhurried, a fake smile hanging on his face.

"Elder, you exaggerate. My Xianyun Sect has always treated people with courtesy, but today happens to be an important Sect matter, so some neglect is unavoidable. Why must the Elder be so angry?"

"Hmph!" the Third Elder snorted coldly.

If it weren't to find out the truth, why would my Hua Yun Sect condescend to come here!

Gan Feng stood aside, secretly thinking to himself, this Xianyun Sect Master is polite on the surface but is actually being difficult everywhere.

If he allowed the Third Elder to argue with him, he was afraid they would fall into the other party's trap.

Thinking of this, Gan Feng stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Xianyun Sect Master, we have come here for business. Please grant us the convenience of entering to talk."

A glint of light flashed in the Xianyun Sect Master's eyes. He seemed not to have expected the Hua Yun Sect to have such a steady person.

He nodded slightly, putting on a look of sudden realization.

"So that's it. Since you have come for an important matter, please follow me inside."

With that, he turned and walked towards the inside of the mountain gate, but suddenly stopped and turned back, smiling, "However, please remember, although my Xianyun Sect is hospitable, it is not a place where people can be bullied. I hope you all respect yourselves."

Gan Feng heard the threat in his words and sighed inwardly. As expected, this Xianyun Sect was not easy to deal with.

It seems this trip is fraught with danger, and we must proceed cautiously step by step.

Under the leadership of the Xianyun Sect Master, the Hua Yun Sect group passed through the mountain gate and entered the interior of the Xianyun Sect.

Qiu Mobai walked and loudly instructed, "Someone, arrange seats for the distinguished guests from the Hua Yun Sect."

Soon, several Xianyun Sect Disciples brought chairs and respectfully placed them at the lower end of the main hall.

Qiu Mobai, however, slowly paced to the main seat at the upper end, sat down, and looked down at everyone from a condescending position.

He waved his hand and said again, "Serve tea."

After the Hua Yun Sect group were seated, Qiu Mobai finally spoke lazily, "You have come a long way, what business do you have?"

Gan Feng sat upright and said frankly, "Sect Leader Qiu, we have come here regarding the matter of your Sect's Disciple discovering an Xianying Sect Disciple who was bitten to death by a Monster."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Mobai raised an eyebrow, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He said slowly, "Oh? So it's about this matter. That Xianying Sect Disciple did indeed die miserably, his entire body was a bloody mess, and even his internal organs were gnawed away. Tsk tsk tsk..."

By the end, Qiu Mobai even deliberately clicked his tongue, looking gloating.

When Xiao Feng heard this, he frowned slightly.

He keenly sensed that Qiu Mobai's description was too detailed, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

But reasonably speaking, the Sect Head shouldn't have personally gone to examine the body.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask, "Sect Leader Qiu, may we meet the Xianyun Sect Disciple who discovered the Xianying Sect Disciple?"

A trace of displeasure flashed in Qiu Mobai's eyes, but he still nodded in agreement, "Alright. Someone, call Zhang Zang here."

Before long, a young Disciple wearing Xianyun Sect attire quickly walked into the main hall and bowed to Qiu Mobai.

Xiao Feng's gaze was sharp as he stared at this Disciple and asked, "Junior Brother Zhang Zang, how did you discover the Xianying Sect Disciple's body at that time? Where was the exact location?"

When Zhang Zang heard this, his eyes immediately became shifty.

He stammered, "Uh... I discovered it accidentally while patrolling the mountain. As for the exact location... I, I don't remember very clearly."

Xiao Feng frowned tightly and continued to press, "Do you remember what the weather was like then? Were there any special features around the body?"

Fine beads of sweat seeped from Zhang Zang's forehead, and his eyes became even more flustered.

He stammered, "The weather... it seemed to be overcast. The surroundings... there was nothing special around."

Xiao Feng's suspicion grew stronger.

This Zhang Zang's words were evasive, and his eyes darted around, clearly hiding something.

Just as he was about to continue questioning, Qiu Mobai suddenly spoke up to interrupt, "Xiao Feng, what is the meaning of this? Are you questioning the testimony of my Xianyun Sect Disciple?"

As Qiu Mobai spoke, he stood up with an angry expression, his hands on his hips, glaring at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng sighed inwardly, thinking, as expected, there is something fishy about this Xianyun Sect.

He hadn't even asked much, yet this guy had already started to make accusations.

Xiao Feng calmly explained, "Sect Leader Qiu, you misunderstand. I am not questioning your Sect's Disciple, I just found many suspicious points and want to clarify the truth."

Qiu Mobai snorted coldly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

He waved his hand, his tone becoming increasingly arrogant.

"Heh, the truth? Don't you think it's ridiculous for an outsider like you to come to my Xianyun Sect to find the truth? Zhang Zang, you may withdraw. You don't need to pay attention to these unreasonable people."

Zhang Zang was like someone granted amnesty, and quickly bowed and withdrew.

Qiu Mobai turned his head to look at Xiao Feng, a mocking smile playing on the corner of his mouth.

"Xiao Feng, do you know that by being so persistent, you are questioning the innocence of my Xianyun Sect? This is simply outrageous!"
