In the Celestial Soul Hall, there are twenty-five Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, including Tian Hunzi himself.
Tian Hunzi himself is at Foundation Establishnt Perfection, which is actually the Peak of Foundation Establishnt Late Stage.
Besides him, there are four Elders with Foundation Establishnt Late Stage Cultivation in the Celestial Soul Hall.
There are more with Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage Cultivation, totaling eight.
The most nurous are the Elders at Foundation Establishnt Early Stage, with a total of twelve.
Altogether, that’s twenty-five Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, which ans the Supre Elder Golden Silkworm holds twenty-five pieces of Divine Soul Life Tokens.
However, originally there were twenty-five pieces, but now two have shattered.
One of them is the recently shattered Divine Soul Life Token of Qin Bei, whose cultivation and status ranked twenty-first among the Foundation Establishnt cultivators in the Celestial Soul Hall, and eighth among the twelve Foundation Establishnt Early Stage Elders.
The other shattered token belonged to Lin Sha, who was previously slain by Qi Chuan of the Wind Moon Sect at the Spirit Stone Mine Battlefield. Lin Sha was ranked last in cultivation and status in the Celestial Soul Hall, which is twenty-fifth.
As for Tian Hunzi himself, he is naturally ranked first.
Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, even for a Core Formation Sect like the Celestial Soul Hall, are not nurous and are extrely important.
Previously, Lin Sha’s unexpected death was just let go.
Now, Qin Bei has also fallen.
In a short period, of twenty-five Foundation Establishnt, losing two is already a significant loss.
Therefore, as the Sect Leader of the Celestial Soul Hall, Tian Hunzi must take real action to apprehend the culprit and bring them to justice to maintain the prestige of the Celestial Soul Hall, and only by doing so can he reassure the hearts of the elders and prevent the elders of the Celestial Soul Hall from feeling disheartened.
"Previously, it was very clear that Lin Sha was slain by Qi Chuan of the Wind Moon Sect. This person is already our target, and he should have the opportunities from the Secret Realm Space on him. Now, our Hall has already investigated his whereabouts through various channels, and once the opportunity arises, we can seize him, thus gaining the opportunity and avenging Elder Lin Sha’s death—a true case of killing two birds with one stone."
"But as for Elder Qin Bei, who inexplicably perished outside of Red Maple Valley, his cause of death is unknown, what do the elders think?"
Tian Hunzi’s face was cold as he scanned the hall and said this.
Hearing this, the elders of the Celestial Soul Hall exchanged glances, and imdiately, an elder with Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage Cultivation stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Sect Leader, I believe that this matter must have been the work of the Wind Moon Sect, and we should count it on the Wind Moon Sect’s head!"
"Indeed!"
As this elder spoke, the other elders also chid in.
"Red Maple Valley is within the sect domain controlled by the Wind Moon Sect, and it is Qi Chuan’s ho clan. It is very likely that Qi Chuan has not perished. As the disciple of Wind Moon Sect’s Sect Leader Situ Jiang, with the opportunities he possesses, he dare not show himself, fearing the consequences. It is possible that Situ Jiang, in defense of his disciple, dispatched Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage and above experts to protect Qi Chuan’s clan, which then discovered Elder Qin Bei, who was stealthily investigating outside of Red Maple Valley, and subsequently, he was brutally slain!"
"This indeed makes a lot of sense, but is there a possibility that Elder Qin Bei was slain by the clan leader of the Qi Family within Red Maple Valley?"
"That should be unlikely. From what I know, Qi Family Clan Leader Qi Wuyou has never had any remarkable achievents in his life. He is just an ordinary Foundation Establishnt Early Stage cultivator. How could he possibly kill Elder Qin Bei?"
"Perhaps the Qi Family Clan Leader was hiding his strength..."
"Or it could be that Elder Qin Bei, while concealing himself, was carelessly discovered and killed by a passing Wind Moon Sect Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage or higher expert!"
"Those passing by may not necessarily be Foundation Establishnt cultivators of the Wind Moon Sect. They could also be people from the Valley of Myriad Beasts, the Profound Pill Sect, or North Magnetic Mountain."
"In my view, this passing expert could very well be from the only Nascent Soul Major Sect in central Nanhua State, the North Magnetic Divine Palace!"
"..."
At first, the elders of the Celestial Soul Hall provided reasonable and clear analysis.
But as it went on, the discussion beca chaotic, with accusations even thrown at the North Magnetic Divine Palace.
At the top of the hall, the Sect Leader Tian Hunzi listened, his expression growing darker, and then he shouted, "Enough!"
When his voice fell, the elders in the hall all fell silent, afraid to make a sound, looking sowhat fearful at Tian Hunzi above.
Tian Hunzi massaged his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.
The current information is just that Qin Bei perished outside Red Maple Valley, and nothing else.
Relying solely on this information to determine the culprit behind the scenes can’t be completely accurate.
However, the words of the many elders weren’t without reason either. At least collectively, they’ve covered almost all possibilities. Next, it’ll depend on the process of elimination and one’s inclination on who they want to hold responsible for this.
After pondering inwardly for a mont, he ultimately felt that the first elder’s words, while not one hundred percent justified, were a suitable inference and were the easiest for him to handle.
Thinking this way, Tian Hunzi then spoke, "Let’s not discuss the Profound Pill Sect, the Valley of Myriad Beasts, and North Magnetic Mountain’s Three Sects without concrete evidence; after all, the location of Qin Bei’s demise wasn’t in the sect domains of these Three Sects."
"As for the Nascent Soul Major Sect North Magnetic Divine Palace, it is thousands of miles away, how could it have been the doing of this sect’s people?"
"Therefore, Elder Qin Bei was either slain by a Wind Moon Sect Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage or higher expert, or by the Qi Family Clan Leader Qi Wuyou who concealed his strength!"
