362: Chapter 362 I should have known better than to be a conspicuous bag!

Wang Batian was still dazed even at the moment he was being dragged away.

He couldn't wrap his head around it no matter how much he thought.

He had clearly performed a merit, so why was his outcome even worse than before?

If he had known, he should have just kept his mouth shut from the beginning!

"Foster father! I have failed you!"

Having resolved the trivial matter, Yue Ningshuang stood up gracefully from the flower petals and waved her hand, dispelling the investigation Formation within the water prison.

She looked at the other maid and issued her latest command.

"Immediately lift all blind blockades around Feixian City."

"Send out all of our manpower!"

"Focus on searching the Dongxuan Region for any young man wearing a black and white yin-yang dharma robe who looks exceptionally handsome!"

"Once this person is found, no one is allowed to harm a single hair on his head!"

"Notify me immediately."

"I want to catch this top-tier prey myself."

The maid firmly memorized the order.

Then, she hesitated for a moment and whispered a report.

"Sect Master, the Deputy Sect Master Ji Ji came to see you just now."

Yue Ningshuang frowned slightly.

"Why did he come? Isn't he helping Young Sect Master Ji Bo find a pure Yin cauldron?"

The Tianxuan Immortal Sect was divided into two factions.

One faction was led by her, the legitimate Sect Master.

The other was a radical faction centered around Supreme Elder Zhan Hong and Deputy Sect Master Ji Ji.

Usually, the two sides kept to themselves, and Ji Ji rarely took the initiative to find her.

"Replying to the Sect Master..."

The maid swallowed, looking a bit nervous:

"I heard that Elder Li Er was killed by someone at the Gu Family."

A flash of surprise crossed Yue Ningshuang's eyes.

The Tianxuan Immortal Sect was vast; losing a few Elders was not a bone-shaking injury to her.

Instead, the person who could kill Elder Li Er aroused her curiosity.

Given Elder Li Er's strength, few people in the Dongxuan Region could kill him.

Those three old fellows of the Gu Family were weak in blood and Qi; they clearly couldn't be his match.

"Do you know who did it?" Yue Ningshuang asked casually.

The maid shook her head.

"Replying to the Sect Master, according to the scouts, that person is very unfamiliar and is not a famous powerhouse in the Dongxuan Region."

A mysterious person not from the Dongxuan Region?

Yue Ningshuang's mind inexplicably flashed to the handsome man in the yin-yang dharma robe that Wang Batian had described earlier.

The timing of the two appearances was too coincidental.

But she immediately shook her head, dismissing this ridiculous thought.

A native who had just ascended from the Lower Realm, even if he was a favorite of the Heavenly Dao, even if his Origin was Heaven-Defying.

Limited by Law, knowledge, and Realm barriers, it was absolutely impossible for him to have the strength to slaughter a Tribulation Transcendence Stage mighty figure.

"Let's go."

Yue Ningshuang stopped thinking about that unrealistic notion.

"Let's go to the main hall and see."

...

At this moment, in the main hall of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace.

Young Sect Master Ji Bo was standing in the center of the hall, gesticulating as he complained to his father, Ji Ji, and the Grand Elder, Supreme Elder Zhan Hong, who were sitting at the head.

"That scum is extremely arrogant! He not only killed Elder Li Er but also slaughtered the three old immortals of the Gu Family!"

"The scouts saw it clearly; that person was wearing a black and white yin-yang dharma robe and had the face of a pretty boy!"

"Who does he think he is, daring to touch the cauldron I, Young Sect Master Ji Bo, have taken a fancy to!"

Supreme Elder Zhan Hong didn't react much upon hearing the earlier description.

But when he heard "yin-yang dharma robe," a memory surfaced involuntarily in his mind: the ant in the Lower Realm who had shattered his palm with a broken sword.

Was not that boy wearing a black and white yin-yang dharma robe back then?

To verify his guess, Supreme Elder Zhan Hong put down his teacup, gently rubbed the edge of the cup with his fingertips, and spoke casually:

"Young Sect Master, did the scouts mention... whether that madman was holding a black broken sword?"

After listening, Young Sect Master Ji Bo carefully recalled the scout's report and shook his head decisively.

"I haven't heard of any broken sword; that kid was empty-handed the whole time!"

"But Uncle Zhan, that kid is a bit evil!"

"He didn't really do much; he just snapped his fingers and summoned an army of eight thousand Mahayana Stage golden-armored female Valkyries!"

"Elder Li Er and the others were worn to death!"

An army of eight thousand Mahayana Stage warriors?

It was definitely that kid from the Lower Realm.

In his tens of thousands of years in the Spirit Realm, he had never heard of anyone who could carry an army of eight thousand Mahayana Stage warriors with them.

He did not expect him to ascend so quickly!

Supreme Elder Zhan Hong's breathing became heavy.

He was one hundred percent certain that this was definitely the ability of that broken sword.

Or some kind of high-grade space-type Chaos Supreme Treasure!

This ant who ascended from the Lower Realm was simply a mobile peerless treasure vault!

If he could strip away all the treasures on him...

Why should this old man fear that bitch Yue Ningshuang?

The position of Sect Master of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect would be within his grasp!

Greed completely occupied Supreme Elder Zhan Hong's brain.

He had to get that kid into his own hands before Yue Ningshuang found out about this.

Supreme Elder Zhan Hong stroked his beard and feigned an appearance of righteous indignation.

"Deputy Sect Master Ji, Bo'er. Rest assured."

"This person's methods are strange, and daring to kill our Tianxuan Immortal Sect's Grand Elder, this Venerable will absolutely not sit idly by."

"However, I am quite interested in the secrets on him."

"When we capture him, I hope the Deputy Sect Master will hand him over to me for some research."

"As for that girl from the Gu Family, I will naturally help the Young Sect Master take her back and hand her over to you to deal with as you please."

Ji Ji immediately bowed in thanks: "Then I will have to trouble Elder Zhan!"

Young Sect Master Ji Bo was now only thinking about catching Gu Xiyao back to resolve the backlash of the Nine Yang Heaven-Swallowing Technique in his body.

And by the way, to avenge the humiliation of having his wife stolen.

As for the life or death of that mysterious person, Young Sect Master Ji Bo did not care at all.

"It is my honor that Uncle Zhan is willing to take action personally!"

"That bastard's life is in Uncle Zhan's hands; you can deal with him however you want! Just leave him with one breath so I can torture him for a bit!"

Supreme Elder Zhan Hong nodded with satisfaction, his mind already calculating how to swallow the treasure alone.

Just as the three of them were harboring their own ulterior motives, reaching a filthy deal.

Above the main hall, purple petals suddenly drifted down.

The temperature in the originally warm main hall dropped suddenly.

Yue Ningshuang appeared out of thin air on the Sect Master's throne above the main hall.

She was wearing a luxurious purple immortal dress, leaning lazily against the back of the chair, with her legs crossed.

Her snow-white, rounded jade feet swayed gently under the skirt.

Ji Ji, Young Sect Master Ji Bo, and Supreme Elder Zhan Hong all changed their expressions upon seeing this, immediately restraining their thoughts and bowing in unison.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Yue Ningshuang's beautiful eyes were half-open and half-closed, her gaze sweeping over the three of them, asking a question she already knew the answer to.

"Deputy Sect Master Ji, you don't usually visit the Three Treasures Hall without a reason."

"Why are you, your son, and Elder Zhan gathered here today?"

Ji Ji immediately stepped forward and bowed to complain.

"Reporting to the Sect Master!"

"The Gu Family is rebellious and openly tore up the marriage agreement with the Young Sect Master!"

"Not only that, they colluded with a mysterious person of unknown Origin to kill Elder Li Er, who went to question them!"

"Such conduct shows no regard for our Tianxuan Immortal Sect!"

"I implore the Sect Master to preside over justice for the Ji Family and uphold the name of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect!"

Young Sect Master Ji Bo also added fuel to the fire on the side, repeating the characteristics of the mysterious madman once more.

"Sect Master, please judge! That kid wearing the yin-yang dharma robe is simply arrogant!"

"Not only did he steal my fiancée, but he also threatened to flatten our Tianxuan Immortal Sect!"

"If such a madman is not eliminated, what dignity will our Tianxuan Immortal Sect have left in the Dongxuan Region!"
