Chapter 1904 Qingyun Sect Tianjue Palace
When the three middle-aged men heard what Elder He said, their expressions were stern.
"Immediately order someone to conduct an investigation to see who among the disciples in this area has not returned!" the middle-aged man at the front immediately ordered.
After hearing this, several disciples behind him hurriedly stepped down to count the number of people.
Elder He looked forward with half-closed eyes. For some reason, he felt vaguely uneasy and had a premonition that something was about to happen.
However, he didn't say much. This demon hunting operation was extremely important. If there was even the slightest mistake, things would be very serious.
After a while, the disciples who went down to count the number of people came back.
"How is it?" the middle-aged man in front asked.
Their expressions were solemn. One of the Tsing Yi disciples in the late Nascent Soul stage said: "Reporting to Elder He and the three uncles, there is indeed a missing war boat. It belongs to Chen Qinghe's team. They were responsible for clearing the nearby area. According to the By this time, they should have returned here, but no one was seen."
"Chen Qinghe?" The three middle-aged monks looked at Elder He in unison, their eyes a little strange.
Elder He looked gloomy.
Chen Qinghe is his personal disciple.
"Could they have gone to other areas?" the middle-aged man in front whispered.
"Impossible. In order to prevent the news from leaking during this operation, the disciples did their own thing. They will never leave their posts without permission. If they don't return at this time, I'm afraid something might have happened." Another person next to him said.
When these words came out, everyone's expressions became solemn.
Elder He's eyes were gloomy and he said: "Most of them have been silenced."
Everyone, including the three middle-aged men, looked shocked.
Elder He frowned tightly, his face getting colder and colder, and said: "I felt that the traces of the sword array were familiar before, but I didn't expect that it was Qinghe. The other party was so brave that he even dared to kill my disciples."
No one dared to answer the question.
They all knew the elder's protective character. Whenever one of his disciples suffered a loss, the other party would pay dozens of times the price.
Chen Qinghe was Elder He's favorite disciple. Now that he was killed at the hands of others, one can imagine how he felt.
"Who else knows about the demon hunting operation I sent this time?" Elder He changed the subject and asked the three of them.
"To the elders, this operation was carried out carefully and no news was leaked." The man in front said.
"but……"
Halfway through his words, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
"But what?" Elder He asked, his face darkening.
The man in front was hesitant, and after a moment he lowered his voice and continued: "To be honest with the elders, when we arrived at Luanxian Sea from the entrance of the sect a few days ago, we found that people from Tianjue Palace were also here."
"Tian Jue Palace?"
Elder He raised his eyebrows, "What are they doing here to mess with the Immortal Sea?"
"We don't know what their purpose is, but judging from the direction they are traveling, it seems that they are also on Cangqiong Island."
"Yes, and their leader seems to be Han Ku."
The other two men in the transformation stage said separately.
"Old Han Ku? He came here in person?"
Upon hearing this name, Elder He's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became cloudy and uncertain.
No one dared to answer and just stood aside silently.
"Hmph! Tianjue Palace has always been against our Qingyun Sect. If they come to Cangqiong Island, Chen Qinghe will probably die in their hands." Elder He said coldly: "This demon hunt is of great importance. If we can succeed, , I, the Qingyun Sect, are the leading existence in the Human Emperor Realm, no one can stop me! Old Han Ku kills my disciple, and this revenge must be paid with blood!"
After saying that, he looked at the three of them, raised his hand and ordered: "Give me the order and go to Cangqiong Island immediately. If you encounter anyone from Tianjue Palace, kill them without mercy!"
"yes!"
Everyone's expressions froze and they all followed the order and left.
Immediately, the war boats left the island and headed deep into the thick fog at extremely fast speeds.
At the same time, in a sea area hundreds of miles away, there was also a row of warships sailing.
Each of these warships has a large flag erected with a temple pattern printed on it, which is lifelike and majestic.
On the first warship, an old man in white robes stood with his hands behind his back. He had a skinny face and eyes like a falcon. He exuded a very strong spiritual power fluctuation. He was clearly an extremely powerful man in the late stage of returning to the void.
"Someone is coming."
Traveling to the thick fog area, the old man in white robe suddenly called out.
"Elder Han." A bearded man came over and bowed.
"How long does it take to reach Cangqiong Island?" the old man in white robe asked.
The bearded man looked ahead, then took out a compass and pressed the seal with his hand to activate his spiritual power.
The compass pointer rotated slowly and finally settled on a position. The bearded man took a look and said: "Elder, Cang Qiong Island is not far ahead. According to the current progress, it only takes one day at most to reach it."
The old man in white robe nodded after hearing this.
After pondering for a moment, he looked forward and said, "Can the Qingyun Sect's war boat be found nearby?"
"We didn't find them along the way." The bearded man replied.
As he spoke, there was something strange on his face, and he said: "It's a bit strange to say that the Qingyun Sect has disappeared since they came to Luanxian Sea. Could they have resisted Cangqiong Island first?"
The old man in white robe frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.
After a long time, he spoke: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. He Mo is always very smart. They want to encircle and suppress that monster to ask for credit from the Earth Emperor Realm, so they will definitely not leak the news easily. It's a pity that he never expected that our Tianjue Palace also received the news and got information from their Qingyun Sect."
The bearded man's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but said: "Elder Han, there is something I don't understand. I don't know whether I should ask or not?"
"Tell me." The old man in white robe said lightly.
The bearded man hesitated for a while, and then spoke after a while: "I really can't figure it out. Why do those people above take a mere monster so seriously? And I have never heard of any monster appearing in the Chaos Immortal Sea. Is the news really reliable?"
The appearance of monsters in the Chaos Immortal Sea is actually no secret, but no one has really seen it. It's just that it's said that several ruthless people in the Return to Void Stage in the Chaos Immortal Sea fell in the hands of this monster, but whether it is true or not, no one can be sure.
And this matter has attracted the attention of those forces above, which is a bit difficult to understand.
Listening to the bearded man's words, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the old man in white robe.
After a long time, he spoke quietly: "It is true that there are monsters appearing in the Chaos Immortal Sea Cangqiong Island, but since many masters have died here, it must be true."
After a pause, he continued: "In fact, you are right. In the ancient times, there was a great war between humans and demons. Not to mention Chaos Immortal Sea, the remnants of the demons in the entire Three Emperors Ancient Realm of the human race have been wiped out. The monsters that appeared this time did not exist in Chaos Immortal Sea for a long time, but escaped from other continents."
The bearded man suddenly realized what he said.
He was about to speak, but suddenly sensed something, looked at a certain place in front of him, and his eyes turned cold.
"Elder, there is a ship ahead, and it seems to be heading towards Cangqiong Island. Should we stop them?"
The bearded man said coldly.
In the sea fog ahead, a ship was looming, heading in the direction indicated by the compass in his hand.
"Are they from Qingyun Sect?" The old man in white robe also looked at the ship and asked.
The bearded man looked ahead, and after a moment, he seemed to have confirmed something, and shook his head: "It's just an ordinary ship, it shouldn't be from Qingyun Sect."
He said with murderous intent: "Junior will go and kill the people on the ship."
As he spoke, he practiced his skills and was about to chase the ship.
"No need."
The old man in white robe raised his hand and said indifferently: "They are just some young cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. Since they are not disciples of Qingyun Sect, there is no need to pay attention to them. Our first priority is to go to Cangqiong Island to search for the traces of the monster, so as not to be beaten by He Mo."
"Yes, junior obeys your order, junior will let the disciples speed up." The bearded man had to give up and bowed and retreated.
The old man in white robe glanced at the ship in front again, but soon retracted his gaze, closed his eyes and ignored it.
He had sensed the situation of the ship just now. Apart from a few Yuanying stage cultivators who were worth a look, there were some low-level cultivators in the Jindan stage. In his eyes, this level was no different from ants, so he was too lazy to pay attention to them.
While the old man in white robe was moving quickly, the ship in front gradually disappeared in the vast sea fog.
But at this time, Ye Chunyang, who was sitting in the cabin, frowned slightly, his eyes glanced at this side faintly, and his expression was a little gloomy and uncertain.
There were footsteps outside the cabin, and Ding Ning walked in.
"Just now, several warships appeared behind. Did you find them?" Ding Ning sat down opposite Ye Chunyang and poured him a cup of tea.
Ye Chunyang nodded, "I also sensed it."
Ding Ning was silent for a while and said, "They are people from Tianjue Palace."
Hearing these three words, Ye Chunyang's eyes condensed slightly.
After more than three hundred years, have we finally met here?
Ding Ning didn't notice the strangeness in Ye Chunyang's eyes. She lowered her head slightly, her expression a little solemn, "Before, we encountered people from Qingyun Sect blocking the nearby area. Now people from Tianjue Palace have also appeared here. I'm afraid this place won't be too peaceful."
The series of encounters made Ding Ning feel more and more uneasy. Whether it was Qingyun Sect or Tianjue Palace, they were huge monsters for her, and either side was enough to overwhelm her.
"Are they also for the sword spirit of Cangqiong Island?" Ye Chunyang asked.
"The specific purpose of these two sects is still unknown." Ding Ning thought for a while and said, "However, Qingyun Sect and Tianjue Palace have always been at odds. If they meet, there will inevitably be a conflict. If it is really for the sword spirit of Cangqiong Island, maybe we can deal with both sides."
"Mr. Ding wants to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?" Ye Chunyang showed a half-smile.
This woman was so bold that he was surprised.
Ding Ning coughed lightly with a hint of embarrassment, then said seriously: "I am not that bold, but now that we have come this far, no matter what the result is, I must meet the sword spirit."
