Red Leaf Sect.
The night had long passed. Elders Tian Hui, Qing Huang, and Chen Lie turned their full efforts into the search, mobilizing thousands of people and creating thousands of portraits of Wen Ping overnight. Yet, they couldn’t even find a trace of Wen Ping, nor could they find anyone who recognized him.
As dawn cast its golden hue upon the earth, covering the Red Leaf Sect’s sprawling mountains in fiery red once more, the three anxiously and helplessly reported the matter.
Dongjin woke up with a good mood under the morning sun, knowing the Red Leaf Sect recently gained two peerless talents; he hadn’t expected to be struck by a thunderbolt.
As he listened to Tian Hui recount the events in detail, Dongjin’s face beca increasingly grim, his angry eyes filled with boundless fury.
"Lost!"
Dongjin finally erupted.
Anger exploded, weighing Tian Hui and the others down so much they dared not lift their heads.
Tian Hui replied in a low voice, "Vice Sect Leader Dong, I am willing to accept punishnt. Even if it’s a century of punishnt, I would bear it without regret!"
"You dare to have regrets!"
Dongjin roared, initially intending to reprimand the three thoroughly, but ultimately raised his hand, gritted his teeth, and swallowed his anger.
Cursing?
Killing?
No matter if all three accompanied them in death, it wouldn’t help.
The imdiate priority is to find Zhao Si and Xiao Ye.
These two with their unparalleled talents entering the Red Leaf Sect are a blessing after a millennium of silence; they must be found at all costs.
The issue of punishnt will be addressed later!
"What are you standing here for? Get moving and search!" Dongjin shouted angrily, kicking Tian Hui’s thigh.
Without a kick, it wouldn’t feel satisfying!
Tian Hui was kicked flying, rolled over dozens of tis, hitting the threshold of the Main Hall disheveledly, and quickly got up to leave, ready to mobilize more people. He knew, failing again wouldn’t just be a kick.
Chen Lie and the other seized the mont to leave hastily.
After the three left, Dongjin hurriedly instructed the ssengers to sound the Golden Bell.
Dong——
Dong——
Seven consecutive peals of the Golden Bell echoed in the sky, deafening.
A million Red Leaf Sect mbers gazed at the Inner Sect, each displaying thick curiosity on their faces.
For the Golden Bell hadn’t tolled seven tis in quite a while!
As the bell’s resonance lingered overhead, several streaks of light darted across the blue sky, landing at the Main Hall before the Inner Sect. Within re monts, more than thirty people gathered within the Inner Hall, arriving on the wind, all Earth Unrestricted Experts.
Looking at these individuals, Dongjin spoke with a grim face, "Three days, even if you have to overturn the Red Leaf Sect, you must find Zhao Si and Xiao Ye. Find any reason, but conceal the truth."
Dongjin feared that if the truth were to be revealed, the other two major powers might begin to covet.
Before long, in the sa way all three families dealt with the Nine-Tailed Race, those two families might turn that treatnt onto Red Leaf Sect.
The Red Leaf Sect elders hadn’t realized what was happening, slightly perplexed by the command.
Of course, Xiao Ye and Zhao Si knew.
This kind of thing might be hidden from Red Leaf Sect disciples, might be hidden from outsiders, but it couldn’t be hidden from the other elders.
"Vice Sect Leader Dong, did those two little ones lose their way?"
"Was there an accident?"
The crowd asked doubtfully.
Dongjin suppressed his anger, saying calmly, "Both are missing... Enough questions, quickly send people to search."
The Red Leaf Sect elders exchanged glances; seeing Dongjin suppressing his anger, none dared ask anything further, and hurried out to search for Zhao Si and Xiao Ye.
As for the reasons they used—
They were diverse.
So claid to be searching for a mistress.
So claid to be searching for an illegitimate child.
Suddenly, a massive searching wave surged within the Red Leaf Sect, an unprecedented manhunt.
Ti passed, with nurous elders reporting to Dongjin every hour, leaving Dongjin wanting to strangle Tian Hui every ti he heard the results.
Thus, after searching for three or four consecutive days, Chen Lie suddenly realized a problem, rushing straight to the Outer Sect disciples’ registration desk.
Leading a group flipping through the past ten years’ records for Outer Sect disciples, Chen Lie felt troubled.
Who would believe Zhao Si and Xiao Ye weren’t disciples of the Red Leaf Sect?
Who dared think that way?
Who would truly think that way?
Only he thought it and actually checked.
Result— no records of Zhao Si and Xiao Ye anywhere.
Then combining the fact that no sect disciple recognized them, Chen Lie felt disoriented, imdiately notifying the other elders.
One told two.
Two told three.
In less than half a day, all Red Leaf Sect elders knew the result.
"Go to the Inner Sect then."
"If Vice Sect Leader Dong finds out, he’ll explode."
"Already simring with anger, if he knows this truth..."
Everyone exchanged glances, eventually flying together into the Inner Sect.
Saying it together is better than one saying it alone.
Dongjin had just finished other matters, preparing to listen to his subordinates’ reports, but upon seeing nurous elders gather outside the Main Hall, he hurriedly ordered his aides to be silent.
Could they be found?
Dongjin imdiately showed a look of relief.
Finally, so good news!
However, seeing the elders enter without carrying Xiao Ye and Zhao Si, Dongjin’s smile disappeared.
"Vice Sect Leader Dong, we have sothing to report."
"It concerns the truth behind Xiao Ye and Zhao Si’s disappearance; you might want to sit and listen."
Dongjin angrily said, "Speak up!"
They exchanged glances, ultimately pushing Tian Hui forward.
After all, it was him who lost them.
The truth must be told by him.
Tian Hui reluctantly stepped forward and said, "Subordinates have reviewed all records of Inner Sect and Outer Sect disciples over the past decade. No records of Xiao Ye and Zhao Si were found. anwhile, within our million disciples, not a single one recognized the two. In summary, I believe..."
Tian Hui stopped.
He dared not continue.
Dongjin’s brow twitched, demanding angrily, "What are you saying!"
He knew what Tian Hui wanted to say.
Elder Chen Lie quickly stood out too, saying, "Vice Sect Leader Dong, this event’s implications are quite complex."
Dongjin’s face darkened instantly, clenching his teeth and suppressing his fury, saying, "You’re saying so unknown youngsters pretended to be disciples of our Red Leaf Sect, then stole the 99 Celestial Rank Fate’s Four-Vortex Vortex Maps and 10 Five-Vortex Vortex Maps right under my nose?"
The elders’ faces twisted in bitter smiles, all bowing their heads in silence.
What else could they do?
The people vanished.
The Vortex Maps were gone.
The Red Leaf Sect suffered substantial losses this ti.
The most helpless part—they couldn’t trace anyone’s origins nor guess which power had such audacity.
It’s one thing to shear the Red Leaf Sect’s sheep, but sending two peerless talents as well.
This was not just audacious beyond asure.
It was completely insane!
Weren’t they afraid of exposure, with the two peerless talents being retained or killed by the Red Leaf Sect?
Four-Vortex Vortex Maps, 10 Five-Vortex Vortex Maps are indeed precious, but could they be more precious than two peerless talents?
(Good night... Haha, if only I could post before midnight, would that count as consecutive updates?)
