Chapter 1717: The Everlasting Lamp Went Out!
In Qingyun Sect, no one would be surprised if a disciple was called out for any reason except for those from Everlasting Hall, because if an incident occurred at the Elders’ Hall, it ant that among their disciples, soone had t with an accident outside, and it was not just an injury but death.
“Brother Hao, what happened?”
“Did soone’s Everlasting Lamp in the Everlasting Hall run into trouble? Brother Hao, co on, tell us!”
Seeing Brother Hao with his mouth agape, everyone froze, thinking the one who had scread was not him. But they clearly heard it was Brother Hao who cried out.
“What exactly happened, Brother Hao, co on, talk!” A senior disciple with higher cultivation level stepped forward, demanding harshly.
To declare an accident and not specify what occurred, were they trying to kill them with anxiety?
Even if a disciple’s Everlasting Lamp in the Everlasting Hall had been extinguished, you still have to give a na, don’t you? You can’t just hold it in and say nothing, right?
“Who is it, who t with an accident?” he asked.
“It’s… it’s…”
Brother Hao stuttered, unable to articulate his thoughts.
He felt that if he said the na, the Great Elder would devour him, certainly blaming him for failing to protect the Everlasting Hall.
But what was his fault? The Everlasting Lamp in the Everlasting Hall, the one belonging to Gu Qingyu, was the only one extinguished. What could he have done? He didn’t want it either.
“It’s Gu Qingyu, Gu Qingyu’s Everlasting Lamp has been extinguished!”
As he hesitated, another voice ca from behind him — a disciple had already rushed into the Everlasting Hall to check the situation.
After one look, he too was greatly startled and hurried out to report the situation to the other disciples.
“What?”
The disciples gathered outside the Everlasting Hall were shocked by his words.
Gu Qingyu was the treasure of the Great Elder. When Brother Mo Zheng went out to gain experience, the Great Elder had forcefully sent Gu Qingyu along, wishing for her to broaden her horizons.
But who could have imagined that in just a short ti, less than a month or two, her Everlasting Lamp would be extinguished.
“I will imdiately notify the Great Elder to co. Before the Great Elder arrives, no one is allowed to enter the Everlasting Hall.” The senior disciple didn’t hesitate, quickly giving orders to everyone, and then turned to leave.
…
It wasn’t long before the Great Elder, radiating an aura of frost, arrived outside the Everlasting Hall with a darkened face, glaring at Brother Hao, who was guarding it.
That look was as if Gu Qingyu’s Everlasting Lamp had been extinguished by Brother Hao’s own hand, making him unconsciously step back several paces and shrink his neck, not daring to speak.
“Alright, junior brother, let’s go in and see the situation first. The lamp is already extinguished; blaming him now won’t help,” said the Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect, who had co along. Seeing the scene, he spoke up to calm the situation.
He had confidence in his most senior disciple and believed that as long as nothing unexpected happened to Gu Qingyu, preserving her life should still be possible.
So, even he thought that it was due to the disciples’ negligence in guarding the Everlasting Hall that had led to Gu Qingyu’s Everlasting Lamp being extinguished. However, the Everlasting Lamp was not only for monitoring the life and death of the disciples; if it went out without cause, it could harm one’s cultivation level.
He sighed lightly and cast a reproachful glance at Brother Hao.
“You useless thing, kneel outside. Once I’ve dealt with the matter inside, I’ll co back to address you!” The Great Elder flicked his sleeves forcefully, threw down a harsh sentence, and then entered the Everlasting Hall with the Sect Leader.
