Chapter 1199 - 1202: Breaking In with Bloodshed
More than an hour later, Yun Hao and Qing Luan returned to the original location once again, called out to Xing Qing, who was cultivating alone, and the three of them resumed their journey.At this moment, two pieces of news spread throughout the Kunlun Sacred Land, reaching every sect and every person.
One piece of news was from Yang Kun and a group of Mingjian Pavilion disciples, saying that a super expert, after killing Celestial Saint Sect's Song Hong and Mingjian Pavilion's Duan Jian, had entered the Kunlun Sacred Land, and declared his intent to challenge the three major sects.
The other news was that within a few hours, six sects had been completely wiped out, suffering extermination, and one sect had been half slaughtered, with heavy casualties!
Initially, the various sects within the Kunlun Sacred Land did not believe these two pieces of news. First, they didn't believe someone could consecutively kill two top experts like Song Hong and Duan Jian. Second, they didn't believe that seven sects could meet such dire fates, with six completely annihilated, and another nearly wiped out.
However, as time passed, everyone gradually accepted the truth of these rumors. This was because Yang Kun from Qian Guang Temple personally stepped out to confirm them, and investigations by major sects confirmed that indeed, six small sects had been wiped out, and one small sect was virtually wiped out.
For a time, the entire Kunlun Sacred Land was in a state of panic, nobody knowing why such events were happening, and even more puzzled whether these two incidents were the work of the same individual.
Almost immediately, all sects, including the Mingjian Pavilion, Celestial Saint Sect, and Qian Guang Temple, dispatched an allied team. Each of the three major sects sent an elder to lead the team, heading down the mountain, determined to catch this notorious perpetrator.
However, the fact that Yun Hao had comprehended the Power of Laws and had become what they called a Venerable was kept a secret.
In Qian Guang Temple, aside from Yang Kun, only a few elders and their Sect Leader knew about this information.
As for the Mingjian Pavilion, although the returning disciples knew about it, after reporting this information to the Pavilion Master, their memories concerning the Power of Laws and the Venerable were erased by the Pavilion Master himself.
The fact that someone had comprehended the Power of Laws was of utmost significance to them, and the fewer who knew, the better; otherwise, it would certainly lead to great chaos.
Within Piaomiao Palace, they too were in a frenetic rush, as Yang Kun and others had stated that Qing Luan, an elder from Piaomiao Palace, was following that expert and respectfully addressing him as master.
"Hmph, I have long suspected Qing Luan and Hong Luan of harboring rebellious hearts. Now, to think they shamelessly call that person master, it's truly disgraceful for our Piaomiao Palace!"
"Who would have thought that the aloof Elder Qing Luan would call someone else master? Truly, one can never see the heart clearly!"
"Palace Master, now that the Mingjian Pavilion and other sects are sending people to hunt down Elder Qing Luan and the man beside her, should we also send people to pursue the traitor Qing Luan?"
"Indeed, Palace Master, I think we should send people as well. We cannot tolerate such a traitor in our Piaomiao Palace, especially since she went to the Land of Trial with Hong Luan. Over the years, anyone who has entered the Land of Trial either died within or ascended to the Upper Realm, returning only after at least twenty years..."
"Exactly, the fact that Qing Luan returned from the Land of Trial in such a short time suggests there's something suspicious, and why didn't Hong Luan return with her?"
Within the grand hall of Piaomiao Palace, Palace Master Ye Wuya furrowed his brows tightly as he listened to the words of the other elders, refraining from expressing his opinion immediately.
Once everyone had spoken, Ye Wuya finally articulated his thoughts.
"Elders of the Wang Family, the three of you take fifty disciples from the Martial Hall and investigate the Qingzhu Sect. Find out why, of the seven sects, only they were spared from complete extermination!"
"Palace Master, why aren't we going after Qing Luan? Why investigate the Qingzhu Sect? Whether they're exterminated or not seems unrelated to us!" Wang Da, upon hearing Ye Wuya's words, felt quite puzzled, respectfully clasping his hands and inquiring.
"I suspect that the exterminations of these sects are related to Qing Luan, that treacherous person, and that man. Otherwise, why would disasters strike soon after their arrival at the Kunlun Sacred Land?
If Qing Luan and her accomplices are indeed responsible, then the Qingzhu Sect, spared from extermination, must have some connection to that mysterious man. We will not compete with the Mingjian Pavilion and others for that man, but instead start with the Qingzhu Sect!"
Hearing Wang Da's doubts, Ye Wuya sneered, confidently explaining his analysis to Wang Da and the other elders present.
"Palace Master is wise, we three brothers will take the disciples and proceed immediately!"
Upon hearing Ye Wuya's analysis, everyone in the hall nodded in agreement, thinking his reasoning was exceptionally sound. Wang Da and his group respectfully clasped their hands, expressing their loyalty, then turned to leave the hall.
However, at that moment, a panicked figure stumbled in, shouting before even reaching them.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, they've invaded, they've invaded..."
"Panic not! Who has invaded?" Ye Wuya rebuked sternly, asking calmly.
"It's... it's Elder Qing Luan, she brought a man and a woman and invaded, killing all fellow disciples who blocked their way!"
The reporting disciple knelt on the ground, eyes wide with fear, his demeanor filled with panic, as if he had just witnessed a terrifying event.
"Qing Luan? That treacherous person dares to invade with others? Elders, follow me!" Upon hearing that it was Qing Luan who had returned with others, Ye Wuya was incensed, slamming his palm down on the steel armrest beside him, shattering it to pieces.
With a loud command from Ye Wuya, the three Wang brothers and the other elders all stood up, following him with ferocious intent as they headed out of the hall.
As Ye Wuya and others appeared at the hall entrance, they were stunned by the scene before their eyes.
In the central square of Piaomiao Palace stood three people, one man and two women, among them the very familiar Qing Luan!
And around the three stood or lay numerous disciples, dead or injured, all rendered incapable of fighting!
