Chapter 332
by fanqienovelChapter 332: Ji Yang, You’ve Gone Too Far
“What? Has this matter been thoroughly investigated? Is that Feng Yu really Ji Yang from He Dao Sect?”
Inside the Heaven Demon Sect, several elders and the Peak Master of the Symbol Peak gathered together. Upon hearing the report from the returning elder, the Peak Master could not help but express his surprise and doubt.
The elder below nodded in reply:
“Returning to the Peak Master, based on the deductions of several elders in the sect, the scene that was simulated matches the result when Elder Qu used the Heaven’s Mechanism Formation. Although the person from He Dao Sect did not take action, it’s still nearly certain!”
Upon hearing this investigation result, the expressions of two elders in the room changed. One was Elder Guan, who hurriedly arrived with the message, and the other was Elder Qu, who had used the Heaven’s Mechanism Formation that day.
Their faces showed astonishment; they truly did not expect to arrive at such a conclusion!
Among them, Elder Guan was the most affected!
His face turned red, filled with an uncontainable rage!
Recalling the scene from the alchemy competition in Heaven Demon City, when Ren Yuning had pointed her compass magical tool at him, he had remained calm and even asked to be inspected.
Elder Guan also thought about the situation during the auction, when Wu Laoda spoke nonsense, and he and Elder Qu had not realized it. He then remembered Ji Yang personally investigating Wu Laoda’s situation.
Everything began to make sense!
To conceal his intentions from him and Elder Qu seemed like it wouldn’t be too difficult for Ji Yang at a critical moment!
Especially when he considered that Ji Yang was someone he personally recommended to enter the sect and had arranged everything for. Yet, in the end, this person had stolen top-tier spiritual plants from Alchemy Peak and left without regard for the high-level spiritual plants, completely ruining them.
The key point was that the pills he refined afterward were not submitted either.
Connecting all these events, Elder Guan’s expression darkened as he silently clenched his fist.
Ji Yang, you’ve gone too far!
When other elders cast their glances at him, Elder Guan could no longer endure. He immediately stood up and said:
“Peak Master, there’s no need to say more about this matter. That brat is definitely still within the sect. Why don’t we ask all the Peak Masters and Elders to cooperate and activate the great formation to find this person?”
The Peak Master did not rush to agree.
They would definitely need to find him, but whether to use the sect’s great formation made him hesitant.
The great formation was closely related to Heaven Demon Sect, and each use consumed a significant amount of spiritual stones.
Would it be too much to use the great formation for a disciple from He Dao Sect?
However, considering how audacious this child was, daringly to offend Heaven Demon Sect and then brazenly sneaking into the sect to steal his spiritual plants from Alchemy Peak, it would be unacceptable for Heaven Demon Sect to become the subject of ridicule among other sects if this matter spread!
Although the issue had no direct connection to the other elders, Ji Yang’s audacious actions did not reflect well on them. As elders of Heaven Demon Sect, the sect’s honor was closely tied to their reputation as well.
After Elder Guan finished speaking, another elder stood up:
“Peak Master, I support Elder Guan’s statement!”
“I agree! This brat wasted so many of my spiritual plants from Alchemy Peak; we absolutely must capture him!”
Seeing several elders stand up in anger, the Peak Master finally found his answer.
This matter was no longer just about Alchemy Peak. With the Sect Leader absent from the sect, he might only be a Deputy Peak Master, but he also had the authority to unite with other Peak Masters to activate the great formation.
However, even if they captured Ji Yang, this matter would likely be spread, and it seemed that the sect’s disgrace could no longer be concealed. At this point, the only way to retain some dignity for the sect was to catch Ji Yang!
Just as the Peak Master was about to nod in agreement, another report came from outside!
“Elders, Peak Master, bad news! It’s said that Feng Yu left the sect with Ren Yuning!”
“Ren Yuning? Which Ren Yuning?”
An elder exclaimed in surprise. After a moment of thought, he realized there were several Ren Yunings in the sect.
Even the usually calm Peak Master could no longer contain himself and angrily said:
“Didn’t we assign other elders to guard all the exits of the sect? How could they let her escape?”
The reporting steward appeared troubled and replied:
“It was Junior Sister Yuning who requested to leave the sect. At the time, the elder didn’t check the other people on the spiritual boat, but not long after that, Junior Sister Yuning’s maid sent word that…”
After understanding the situation, the expressions of the several elders in the room stiffened.
What was this development?
The daughter of the Demonic Sect Leader secretly colluding with disciples of the righteous path?
Surely, such a major incident would have reached their dear Junior Sister Yuning, right?
At this moment, many elders fell into silence, their minds deep in thought.
Seeing this, the Peak Master lightly coughed twice:
“Ahem, the matter isn’t clear yet. I think there might be a misunderstanding. Junior Sister Yuning has always hated evil as her enemy; she wouldn’t collude with that brat Ji Yang. It’s likely that the message wasn’t communicated in time, allowing him to take advantage!”
“You are absolutely right, Peak Master!”
Elder Guan was the first to stand up to affirm.
Others might not know, but he certainly did!
He just hadn’t expected this brat’s intentions to be so malicious, once again taking Junior Sister Yuning hostage!
The other elders nodded at this moment:
“Indeed, perhaps Junior Sister Yuning was threatened! We must definitely rescue her!”
At this time, many elders understood the seriousness of the situation.
It was already bad enough to lose face for the sect, but if the Sect Leader’s precious daughter was also taken away, how would they explain this to the Sect Leader?
“Peak Master, that brat surely hasn’t gone far. I’m willing to go personally to capture him!”
Elder Guan was the first to express his willingness!
However, the Peak Master didn’t rush to agree. Last time, the pursuit of Ji Yang had been led by Elder Guan, yet he hadn’t successfully captured Ji Yang, which raised doubts about Elder Guan’s abilities.
Though he couldn’t say this directly considering they were both elders of the sect, his hesitation was clearly visible.
Seeing this, Elder Guan’s expression shifted slightly, but he also understood that the previous incident had cost him considerable face within the sect.
Right now, to regain the lost face, he needed Ji Yang’s head as a sacrifice!
After Elder Guan finished speaking, two more elders from Alchemy Peak stood up:
“Peak Master, I am also willing to leave the sect to capture this person!”
“Peak Master, I will go too!”
Seeing two more elders step forward, the Peak Master finally nodded in agreement.
This matter primarily concerned Alchemy Peak, as this person was previously a disciple there. Given the loss of spiritual plants, they had to retrieve them no matter what.
It was also appropriate for Alchemy Peak to lead the pursuit of Ji Yang!
As for Elder Guan, he wasn’t from Alchemy Peak; if he wanted to go, so be it!
No matter how talented Ji Yang was, could he truly escape from the pursuit of three elders?
However, Ren Yuning accompanying him might pose some trouble, and they needed to figure out a way to protect the safety of the Sect Leader’s daughter!
The Peak Master pondered for a moment, then reached out into the air. A red staff appeared in his hand.
Take this with you!
After seeing this item, the other elders also looked serious.
This was a semi-spiritual treasure with special properties!
Even as a semi-spiritual treasure, it surpassed the level of ordinary top-tier magical tools!
