Late at night, a palace on the top of Tianqing Peak was still brightly lit. Elder Tian Qing was sitting on a big chair at the end of the palace. Below him, stood several confidants and elite disciples, including the Son of Heaven, Jin Hong.
Except for Tianyao Peak where Tianhou is located, the highest mountain in the entire Tianyao Sect is Tianqing Peak. The mountain is so high and steep that even birds cannot browse it. There are cliffs on three sides that are difficult to climb. From a distance, it looks like a towering mountain. The sharp swords on the ground are impressive, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth covering the mountain peaks is particularly strong. It has always been a treasured place for Tianyao Sect to practice Feng Shui. Originally, this was not called Tianqing Peak. It was changed after Tianqingzi became Tianqing Elder and took charge of the sect.
The sound of rapid footsteps came, and a guard commander rushed over, "Report..., Great Elder, Pigeon..., Pigeon..."
"What happened? Tell me clearly!"
Elder Tianqing, who was sitting above the main hall, gave a sharp shout, not angry but powerful.
"Big..., Great Elder, something bad has happened."
The guard commander who rushed over to report the news fell to his knees with a plop, his chest heaving rapidly and he was out of breath. He paused and then said: "A disciple from the sect reported urgently that all the pigeons in Pigeon Peak have disappeared."
"What? Go to Pigeon Peak to steal pigeons? Which lunatic did this? Is some of the main disciples panicking after eating too much, or tired of living?" Elder Tianqing looked surprised and impatient, cursed, and then reacted He came over and his face darkened, "Louder, are you saying that all the pigeons on Pigeon Peak are gone?"
"yes!"
The guard commander replied, seeing Elder Tianqing furious, he couldn't help but start to tremble.
"Not a single pigeon left? Millions of pigeons, all disappeared in one night?" Elder Tianqing asked, his eyes sharp and murderous, and his breathing was heavy and he couldn't hold it back.
"Yes, all the pigeons disappeared. No..., they didn't disappear overnight, they disappeared in an instant..., they disappeared in an instant."
The guard commander was terrified, lest Elder Tianqing would turn his anger on him in anger, but under the latter's gaze, he had no choice but to continue speaking, "According to the reaction of the sect disciples who were secretly dating at the foot of Pigeon Peak Mountain, About two hours after dark, the pigeons on the mountain suddenly rushed out of the grotto for some reason and circled around the Pigeon Peak. Such a thing was unprecedented. The disciples were stunned and thought it was a miracle. It was the senior masters of the sect who appeared at this sacrificial ceremony, and they all bowed their heads and made wishes. Then, when they raised their heads after making their wishes, all the pigeons on the mountain disappeared."
"Trash, how can there be any miracles or manifestations? They are all idiots!"
Elder Tianqing was furious and realized that this matter was not simple. He cursed loudly, "Tonight is the night of the full moon. There must be many people sneaking to Pigeon Peak. There are so many guards and secret sentries nearby, but there is no one." What abnormality did people see?”
"No, my subordinates have sent people to investigate. Those disciples said they didn't see any strangers, and no suspicious traces or clues were found nearby."
The guard commander who was kneeling on the ground became even more frightened, his teeth chattering.
He is not responsible for the defense of Pigeon Peak, but as the commander of the nearby patrol team, he will also be held responsible if strictly investigated. Ever since the incident at Xiaoyao Lake, Elder Tianqing has ordered strict precautions. Now that something has happened at Pigeon Peak, how can Elder Tianqing let it go so easily
"The entire Pigeon Peak has been taken over by someone, but you don't know anything. What's the use of having you as the guard commander?"
Elder Tian Qing had a sullen face, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the guard commander who was kneeling on the ground. He pressed five fingers on the back of the latter's head. With just a slight push, the guard commander's head fell. Five holes will appear.
"This subordinate is guilty. Great Elder, please spare your life. Great Elder, please spare your life..."
The guard commander loudly begged for mercy. Under the control of Elder Tianqing, he was unable to struggle and did not dare to struggle. He could only keep begging for mercy. At the critical moment, he suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly, "There is a clue, Great Elder, my subordinates found a clue. Tonight, someone saw a man in black with a big hat on his head near Yingke Peak, just from the direction of Pigeon Peak. Come..."
"Who is it? Have you arrested him?" Elder Tianqing asked, his fingers still pressing coldly on the head of the guard commander.
"No, but according to the reaction of the nearby guards, the man in black disappeared after a few ups and downs and disappeared on Yingke Peak. He was probably a guest of a certain sect. Judging from the time point, what happened on Pigeon Peak It's probably him who's causing trouble!" The guard commander hurriedly replied.
According to the reports from the guards, someone indeed saw a mysterious man in black near Yingke Peak, and he disappeared in an instant. The whereabouts of this man in black were somewhat suspicious, but he disappeared so quickly that one wonders if it was the discoverer's illusion. It would be even more far-fetched to connect it with Pigeon Peak. The guard commander didn't want to say such unfounded words, but at the moment of life and death, he didn't care about anything he said in order to survive.
"You're dressed in black, with a big hat on top of your head. Does your body look a little tall and thin?" Elder Tianqing asked. He immediately thought of a person, the uninvited guest who forced his way into Xiaoyao Lake.
"Yes, that's it." The guard commander nodded. In fact, he heard other guards talk about such a thing, but he didn't witness it with his own eyes, so he didn't know whether the other person was tall or short. But in order to survive, he followed Elder Tianqing's words to divert his attention.
"Hmph, get out of here, go and find out immediately, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find that person for me!"
Elder Tianqing pushed the guard commander out, and the latter fell to the ground. At this time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, got up and followed the order, and fled out of the hall as if he was running for his life. Behind him, Elder Tian Qing's face became darker and darker, and with a snap, he crushed the armrest of the big chair to pieces.
Although someone discovered the mysterious man in black near Yingke Peak, finding him is not easy.
For this sacrificial ceremony, 173 sects came from far away, totaling more than 8,000 people. It was the largest number of people in hundreds of years. Some came by invitation and brought grand congratulatory gifts, while others came uninvited from thousands of miles away, with people coming from all over the world. According to the practice of the Tianyao Sect, no one is turned away. The huge scale allows Elder Tianqing to earn enough space, but troubles also come with it.
Even if you are sure that the uninvited guest is among the sect's visitors, how can you find him among more than 8,000 people? We can't arrest every sect guest for interrogation. Doing that would be a huge joke.
"Great Elder, I know there is a person who may be the person you are looking for." Jin Hong, the Son of Heaven, who had been watching silently and coldly, stood up, observed the words and expressions, and quickly understood Elder Tianqing's anger and annoyance.
Elder Tian Qing was a little surprised and looked at Jin Hong, the Son of Heaven, who had just come out of seclusion, "Oh, who is it?"
"A disciple of the Gulang Sect." Jin Hong, the Son of Heaven, replied.
"Is that Nan Batian who was extremely arrogant and cut off Ouyang Huo's feet?"
Elder Tianqing asked, shaking his head before Jin Hong could answer, "No, it's impossible. That guy Nan Batian is tall and tall. Although his cultivation is extraordinary, he doesn't have the ability to forcefully break into the Little Demon Lake. A way to kidnap millions of pigeons in an instant. Besides, why did he steal so many pigeons? "
"It's not Nan Batian, it's his senior brother, the top disciple of Gulangmen. Great Elder, I suspect it's probably that boy who did it. His cultivation level is unfathomable, and he also happens to be tall and thin. Of course, How did he get the ability to kidnap so many pigeons, and what is his purpose? We don’t know until he is arrested and tortured to extract a confession!" Jin Hong, the Son of Heaven, replied, with a calm face but sharp eyes. The more he thought about it, the more he doubted Ye Chuan.
Today, he went to Yingke Peak to compete with Nan Batian. The sudden appearance of Ye Chuan shocked him so much. He looked ordinary and unattractive, but his cultivation was unfathomable.
Nan Batian is already so powerful, what kind of skills does he have to be able to treat his senior brother with respect
Jin Hong, the son of Heaven, felt uneasy. When he thought of Ye Chuan, he felt an overwhelming feeling in his heart. This was a phenomenon that had never happened before. No one among the younger generation disciples of the major sects had ever given him this feeling. Ye Chuan was the only one. one of. They are also the eldest disciples of the sect, but he, a dignified eldest disciple of the Tianyao sect, can't see through an unknown eldest disciple of an overseas sect. This makes him a little unwilling to think about it, and it's incredible when he thinks about it carefully.
