The wooden door opened, and a disciple of miscellaneous chores walked in. The withered old man's brow furrowed imdiately; it was the first ti a disciple dared to knock on his door.
"What's the matter?"
The withered old man squinted, looking at Huang Song.
"Second Elder, Brother Ling Yun, he, he..."
Under those sharp eyes, Huang Song imdiately felt his blood freeze, but he still stamred and reported what he ca to say.
"What happened to Ling Yun?"
Upon ntioning Ling Yun, a softness passed through the Second Elder's eyes, assuming Ling Yun had sothing that needed notifying through this disciple.
"Second Elder, Brother Ling Yun, his Lifebound Jade Token shattered..."
Huang Song swallowed, bit his lip, and then fell to the ground with a "thud," not daring to look at the withered old man, reporting with his head bowed.
"...What?!"
Second Elder hesitated for a mont before his pale blood-colored brows shot up, introducing a sharpness to his previously calm voice.
His cold, fierce eyes glinted with severe light, as if two invisible blood sabers fell upon Huang Song.
With Huang Song's re Interdiate Immortal Warrior cultivation, how could he withstand the aura released by the withered old man? Imdiately, his blood ran cold, and he fell prostrate to the ground.
"Ling Yun's Lifebound Jade Token shattered?! How is this possible!!!"
Second Elder's face instantly turned dark and furious.
However, he knew a re disciple wouldn't dare lie to him.
Boom!
Second Elder's aura suddenly erupted, a blood-red pillar of light shot from this serene courtyard skyward, and dashed towards the Jade Token Hall.
"I will see who dares to kill my disciple, Ling Yun, of Blood Evil Sect!"
Accompanied by a roar that shocked the entire Blood Maple Mountain, the soaring blood light reached the Jade Token Hall within a breath!
At this mont, on Blood Maple Mountain, all the disciples raised their heads to see the angry figure shooting into the sky.
"It's the Second Elder!"
"Who has the guts to anger the Second Elder so?"
"The place the Second Elder is heading to is the Jade Token Hall, could it be Brother Ling Yun..."
"..."
Upon hearing Xue Kuang's roar, the disciples were suspicious.
Within Blood Evil Sect, the Second Elder's temper wasn't good, and who dared provoke him to such a rage?
Swoosh!
The blood-colored light flickered and charged into the Jade Token Hall, instantly locking onto a shattered jade token inside.
Boom!
The Second Elder stretched forth a withered hand, and the fractured jade token flew into his palm.
"Yun'er?!"
The Second Elder gripped the token, his fierce eyes fixed on the na inscribed: Ling Yun.
"Who, who killed my disciple?!!"
With a touch of ferocity in his eyes, the Second Elder flashed to stand outside the Jade Token Hall in mid-air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this mont, three formidable presences also shot through the air.
Among them, the central figure was a man dressed in dark purple robes, with sharp eyes and an aura of authority.
This person was the Sect Leader of Blood Evil Sect, Xue Mingzi.
Beside Xue Mingzi was a slightly overweight, white-bearded elder and a crone wielding a blood jade staff.
The white-haired elder was Blood Evil Sect's Grand Elder Xue Yan, and the crone was the Third Elder Xue Hong.
The three stood in the air, emitting an undeniable pressure.
"Second Elder, has soone really killed Ling Yun, Hou Tong, and Zhao Feng?!"
Seeing the Second Elder holding a shattered token, Xue Mingzi's face darkened and he asked.
After receiving a report from a disciple, he imdiately arrived at the Jade Token Hall.
Ling Yun, one of the Blood Evil Sect's three genius disciples, was highly anticipated, a future pillar of the sect, likely to advance to the Immortal Venerable Realm soon, which would add another Immortal Venerable to their ranks.
Moreover, the talents of Hou Tong and Zhao Feng were not low, both core disciples cultivated heavily by Blood Evil Sect.
Now, all three of their Lifebound Jade Tokens shattered at nearly the sa ti!
Thus, even the respected Sect Leader Xue Mingzi was disturbed by the news.
"Hmm."
Second Elder Xue Kuang held the shattered jade token with anxiety written all over his face, nodding.
"I must see who in this Great Xia Dynasty dares kill my direct disciple, Ling Yun!"
Xue Kuang's eyes brimd with angry intent, and then his gaze turned towards the large hall on the mountaintop.
This hall was the Task Hall where Blood Evil Sect disciples accepted missions.
At this mont, outside the hall, an elder in a gray robe had evidently just learned of the matter, and swiftly headed for the Jade Token Hall.
"Elder Feng, what task did my disciple Ling Yun undertake this ti?"
Xue Kuang's fierce eyes locked onto Elder Feng, a Steward Elder of the Task Hall.
"Second Elder, Ling Yun, Hou Tong, and Zhao Feng accepted a mission to hunt down a high-level Demon General grade Blood-Ard Demon Ape."
Elder Feng hurriedly reported.
"Blood-Ard Demon Ape?"
Xue Kuang's gaze sharpened; Blood-Ard Demon Apes frequently appeared outside Wind Ridge Town at Celestial Cyan Mountain Range.
"Despite the high-level Demon General grade of a Blood-Ard Demon Ape, with Ling Yun's trio's abilities, slaying one should pose no issue, how did they fall?"
Xue Mingzi's brow furrowed, and his stern eyes held doubt.
"Could it be an unfortunate encounter with a Commander level Blood-Ard Demon Ape?"
The Grand Elder, Xue Yan, spoke in a deep tone.
In the Celestial Cyan Mountain Range, there were Commander level demon beasts equivalent to human Immortal Venerable cultivators.
Xue Kuang's face darkened, shaking his head slowly, said, "Even facing a Commander level demon beast, Yun'er has great confidence to escape."
"Moreover, demon beasts don't match human intelligence, hardly able to easily kill Yun'er, and out of the three jade tokens, Yun'er's was the first to shatter, could Hou Tong and Zhao Feng's skills surpass Yun'er's?"
Xue Kuang's eyes shot out two fierce glints as he spoke.
"Elder Xue Kuang, this situation is very suspicious."
Xue Mingzi also spoke gravely.
For the area around Wind Ridge Town, no force dared to kill three core Blood Evil Sect disciples, equivalent to challenging the entire sect.
"This ti, I shall personally investigate and see who dares kill my direct disciple!"
A chilling look crossed Xue Kuang's withered face, he spoke fiercely.
Upon finishing, Xue Kuang's gaze shifted southeast, where Celestial Cyan Mountain Range lay.
The mountain range, bordering Nanqi Plain.
