A sweet-looking female disciple in yellow stood up and motioned for Zhao Yue'er to come over.
The little girl looked around nervously, and then she felt relieved when she saw the four unfamiliar monks around her, all dressed in sect-style robes.
"Has a sect disciple named Yan Hongzhu teleported out?" She asked immediately.
The female disciple in yellow showed an embarrassed expression: "I just changed my shift, so I'm not sure."
"Check it quickly!"
The female disciple was slightly unhappy and looked at the senior sister next to her.
This senior sister was a woman with a gentle manner, but she didn't mind at all. She immediately picked up the booklet left by her predecessor, glanced at it, and replied: "No."
"No?" The little girl frowned slightly. She delayed coming out for half an hour. With this time, Yan Hongzhu didn't teleport back quickly?
Do we have to wait until the secret realm is closed and a dragnet is laid here before we act?
She was full of doubts, but what was more important at this time was to find her and tell her about the situation in the secret area, so she stopped talking.
She entered the secret realm as a family member, so the inspection on her was faster. The main purpose was to see if there were a few spiritual plants designated by the sect. Other harvests did not need to be registered.
The process is completed quickly.
Before leaving, he asked the senior sister in white to be careful if Yan Hongzhu came out. Under the confused eyes of the other party, he said goodbye and left.
……
Langshan, the temporary residence of the Zhao family
Grandma looked at Zhao Yuer in surprise, with Caiyun standing by one side.
"Yue'er, why are you back, but what happened?"
She was meditating in her room when she heard some noise and came out to investigate, and saw the anxious little girl.
"Where is my grandpa?" the little girl asked first.
"Their masters left as early as the day the secret realm was opened. Those who stay here now are all foundation-building monks like you."
Zhang Hejing heard the meaning of the little girl's words and quickly explained.
"Hurry up and inform grandpa -" Zhao Yue'er shouted, and immediately threw herself into grandma's arms, crying:
"Mommy, hurry up, hurry up and save Little Shitou!"
Grandma's heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked, "What happened?"
Caiyun next to him was even more shocked and his face turned pale.
Zhao Yueer twitched and told what happened.
"Are you saying that a spy from the Qin State was infiltrated among the disciples of the sect, and that the spy also stole the Wood Spirit Pearl in the secret realm?" When grandma heard the news, her expression changed drastically.
Zhao Yue'er nodded and continued:
"The demon monkey originally wanted to keep me as a hostage and wanted Xiao Shitou to come back with a message. If he said he couldn't find the Wood Spirit Pearl, he wouldn't let me go back!"
"Later, Little Shitou said that his teleportation token was broken, and after some hard talking, Monkey agreed to let me come back in exchange for Little Shitou staying there."
"This little stone," Mammy said with emotion, "I have taken great pains to prevent you from being in danger!"
"No!" the little girl corrected: "His token is bad!"
Then, she told Yang Zhen about the previous transmission failure and his suspicions.
"Zhao Lian!" Mammy's face turned pale: "Okay, there is such a villain in the Zhao family."
However, Zhao Lian is still in the secret realm, so his matters can be put aside for the time being. The most urgent task is to inform all the masters and the left-behind personnel of the sect.
Thinking of this, grandma no longer hesitated, hugged Zhao Yue'er with one arm, and walked out of the yard like the wind.
……
The person in charge of the sect's stay in Langshan was named Kuang and Quanfeng. He was a chief of staff under Yunqing Palace. He was shocked when he heard the news from his grandmother.
He acted very quickly. First he took out a paper crane and sent the message to Wakawa Shangren.
Then a summoning order was issued to gather several foundation-building monks from the sect and the four families of Dai Wang Zhao Mo and go to the teleportation array to wait. Once Yan Hongzhu appears, there is no need to ask for instructions. Capture him first.
After being so busy for more than half an hour, all five masters returned to the canyon.
In the past few days, they had been invited by Master Wuye to visit the Mo family's residence, where they traveled around, talked about scriptures, and lived a very relaxed and comfortable life.
After receiving the news at this moment, everyone knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to neglect it. They got on the sect's flying boat and hurried back.
Hechuanshang ordered people to summon Zhao Yue'er and asked her again about her experience in the secret realm.
"Tianjie Wood Spirit Pearl?" He looked around at the four masters who were listening together: "Have all fellow Taoists heard of this?"
"I've never heard of it." All four of them shook their heads.
Master Chengji of the Dai family said: "The sect must know about this matter. I think this matter must be reported to Tianyou Peak as soon as possible."
Master Guantao of the Wang family nodded in agreement: "The Zhenguo Palace is in charge of the prefectures and counties in the world. This matter should really be reported to Master Lu Xiang."
The real person Lu Xiang he mentioned is Yin Luxiang, the master of the Zhenguo Hall. The place where his main hall is located is named Tianyou Peak.
Hechuan Shangren is a subordinate of Yin Luxiang, and he nodded slightly when he heard this.
Zhao Beiqing put forward different opinions:
"If this matter only involves the secret realm, it is indeed under the jurisdiction of Tianyou Peak. But since there are heaven-level treasures, there must be records of this matter in Baoyuan Palace. I think Master Shuihong will also have to report it."
Hechuan, Chengji, and Guantao looked at each other and remained silent. However, Master Zhexi’s words made sense and were difficult to refute.
Finally, he waved his hand to Kawakami: "Then there is Brother Lao Zhexi."
"It's a matter of responsibility." Zhao Beiqing quickly agreed.
The next thing was still presided over by Hechuan. He was obviously more experienced than Taoist Master Quanfeng, and he immediately issued two orders.
First, everyone who was sent after today's Shen Shi, regardless of gender or family, is summoned.
Second, search Yan Hongzhu’s bedroom and check all items carefully.
The order was quickly conveyed, and half a quarter of an hour later, seven disciples came to wait outside the door as requested.
"Are everyone here?" Oikawa turned to ask a female cultivator in white, who was Senior Sister Zhang who was on duty at the teleportation array.
Senior Sister Zhang looked around and immediately realized something was wrong: "One person is missing."
"Who?"
"Lan Caifang, an outer disciple of the sect, is at the ninth level of Qi training, and was transmitted around You hour today." Senior Sister Zhang replied.
"Go and ask the concierge if this person is still in the hospital!"
After a while, news came from the guard that Lan Caifang did not appear at the sect's residence.
"Keep looking!" Hekawakami raised his eyebrows.
After pacing back and forth for a few steps, he then asked Senior Sister Zhang: "Did you find anything strange when you checked this person's belongings?"
"Well," Senior Sister Zhang pondered for a moment and replied, "She collected very few spiritual plants."
"Well, is there anything else?"
"She has a treasure, like, like a third-level magic weapon."
"Oh?" Taoist priest Oikawa became interested: "What treasure?"
"It looks like a washbasin..." Senior Sister Zhang began to describe it with gestures.
"That's Yan Hongzhu's magic weapon!" Before she could finish the gesture, Zhao Yue'er said loudly from the side: "A magic weapon that can block sonic attacks. Yan Hongzhu used it to block the attack of the third-level monster monkey!" "Good guy!" Hechuan Taoist priest waved his hand: "No need to look for it, this person must be Yan Hongzhu!"
At this moment, there were continuous footsteps outside the door, and a disciple in white hurriedly opened the door and came in.
