555: report

Ye Langtian slapped his palm fiercely.

From his hands, a powerful suction force seemed to be born.

It directly pulled the entire person towards him.

He roughly placed him in front of his eyes.

"You mean Chen Sheng is dead, right?" Ye Langtian's tone was extremely cold.

It wasn't that he valued this child so much.

It was simply because the Fourth Elder of the Sect had an extremely volatile temper.

And for so many years, he only had this one child born late in life.

He cherished him greatly.

On weekdays, if anyone dared to bully him even a little, even if the other party's status was not low, the Fourth Elder would openly confront them.

Now that this son, who he had always regarded as his hope, had suddenly passed away, even Ye Langtian couldn't help but feel a headache.

The Fourth Elder would surely cause an uproar in the Sect.

Thinking of the possibility of such chaos, Ye Langtian wished he could strangle the person in front of him.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that this was not the other party's fault.

He was merely a messenger.

He was just performing his job duties.

But sometimes, anger is simply not controlled by reason.

Just like now.

In his rage, he didn't even wait for the attendant in front of him to open his mouth to explain.

The next moment, he was reduced to a mist of blood.

For a time, the air was filled with a bloody smell.

The many Elders present also had gloomy expressions.

However, it was not because of Chen Sheng.

Although his status was extremely precious to the Fourth Elder.

But to them, he was only of average importance.

What truly angered them was that the Lingyuan Sect had suffered such a large-scale death of Disciples.

Someone must be secretly targeting them.

"Is the neighboring Sect going to attack us? They deliberately chose such a typical case to test our attitude, then let the Fourth Elder make a big fuss, weakening our strength, and then finding an opportunity to launch a massive attack."

An Elder spoke at this moment.

A wise light flickered in his eyes.

He had clearly understood certain things in an instant.

He offered a bold conjecture.

Everyone else also voiced their own thoughts.

"I think there's some possibility, after all, our Sect has been entrenched here for countless tens of thousands of years, and we've always been at peace with our neighbors."

"But how could there truly be peace? It's just that in the past, both sides were more restrained. Now that nearly ten thousand years have passed, we have expanded a lot outwards, occupying many of their territories. It's normal for conflicts to erupt and for some thoughts that shouldn't have arisen to appear."

Everyone nodded.

This possibility was also the greatest.

There is no hate without reason.

Clearly, it could only be said that they had expanded too much in the past.

They had occupied the other party's territory and interests.

If they continued to sit idly, it would be no different from chronic suicide.

They naturally couldn't sit idly by.

Their resistance at this moment was also expected.

But the resistance was indeed somewhat clever, and it did bring them considerable pressure.

Everyone looked at each other, and then they continued to discuss loudly. But basically, they were all extending from one possibility.

It was very clear that almost everyone believed that this must have been a premeditated murder.

But at this moment, Ye Langtian, who was sitting at the very top, frowned deeply.

"I don't think it's that simple. I also know the Sect whose territory we've always occupied. They don't have the guts to do such a thing. There must be other reasons."

"Sect Master, you can't be confused! Besides this possibility, what other possibility is there? Our Lingyuan Sect has always been untouchable. Now that such a thing has happened, who else could it be besides them?"

"The others don't have the confidence to deal with us."

A continuous stream of discussions erupted.

Ye Langtian felt a slight headache.

Then, his cultivation suddenly erupted.

Instantly, it enveloped the entire space.

Everyone fell silent.

It was very clear that the Sect Master was indeed angry.

But what good would being angry do?

They truly didn't think they had said anything wrong.

Who else could it be?

However, since the Sect Master was angry, they still had to maintain basic silence and give him some Face.

A moment later, when everyone had quieted down.

Only then did Ye Langtian speak.

"This matter is rather strange. Although I also suspect that the possibility of that Sect doing it is the greatest, and the purpose is to retaliate intentionally."

"However, in my opinion, this possibility is actually the smallest."

"The difference in size between them and us is too great. Although they also have an Old Ancestor in the Profound Immortal Realm, he is old and won't live for too long. At most, he will completely pass away in a few more years. It's impossible for him to choose to clash head-on with us at this time."

"Of course, it's not ruled out that he might deliberately disgust us before he leaves, but if that person were to act, it wouldn't just be about targeting a few small Disciples."

"In summary, this matter is not that simple. We should first understand the situation."

"Everyone, follow me to the Fate Soul Hall to take a look."

As his voice fell.

Ye Langtian was the first to stand up.

He walked out.

The many Elders followed thoughtfully.

If they had been stubborn earlier,

Then at this moment, with Ye Langtian having clarified everything,

They felt that things indeed seemed to be so.

After a brief consideration, everyone followed.

A moment later, in the Fate Soul Hall.

Everyone saw the shattered ancient jades.

The powder had almost formed small mounds.

Ye Langtian was utterly silent.

He calmly looked at the names below the ancient jades.

"Chen Sheng, Lan Caidie..."

"They are all Inner Sect Disciples. Who can tell me what exactly they went out to do this time?"

"Reporting to the Sect Master, I just received news that they applied to leave the Sect privately this time."

"The reason given was that they had a mission to do down the mountain."

"Who issued the mission?"

"There was no mission."

"So they just wanted to go down the mountain themselves."

"That's right."

Boom! Ye Langtian's cultivation erupted again.

He hadn't expected these fools to be so stupid.

He had thought they went out on a mission and were then murdered by others.

He hadn't expected that they were merely killed after going out on their own.

What could be done?

What could be done?

It could only be said that those who deserved to die, died.

A moment later, Ye Langtian regained some sanity.

Then he spoke coldly.

"Although their outing this time had nothing to do with the Sect's System of missions."

"However, I still hope that the Elders of the Enforcement Hall will pay close attention to this, and also establish a special task force to investigate the cause of their deaths. Regardless of who the murderer is, kill them without mercy."

As his voice fell.

Ye Langtian's figure vanished from where he stood.

The many Elders looked at each other, then nodded helplessly.

It truly was a troublesome time, an unexpected disaster.

And with the command issued, the entire Enforcement Hall was mobilized.
