Tang San seemed a bit embarrassed and changed the subject, "Well... Grand Elder, may I ask a question?"
Qian Dao Liu was taken aback, then nodded, "Of course, you are a member of the Worship Hall, feel free to ask whatever you want!"
After getting the answer, Tang San asked, "I want to know what the guest elders of Qian Jun have gone to do??"
"They usually stay in the Worship Hall and rarely leave!"
Qian Dao Liu didn't expect Tang San to ask this question and, after some thought, gave a vague answer, "Hmm... Qian Jun and the others have gone to do something very important!"
Tang San's eyes lit up, "Could it be... they've gone to support the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect?"
Qian Dao Liu frowned, "Tang San?? How do you know about this?? I don't think I've mentioned it?"
Since returning to the Worship Hall, this kid hasn't left, so how could he know about the abyssal creatures attacking the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect?
If possible, he hoped to keep him within the hall, isolated from external news!
Tang San scratched his head a bit embarrassedly, "I heard from the soldiers in the Worship Hall. They said that new abyssal creatures launched an attack on the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"
"And Qianjun Douluo and the others happened to leave at this time, so I just made a connection, didn't expect to guess right!!"
Qian Dao Liu's eyes flickered slightly, "You are correct, Qian Jun and the others have indeed gone to support the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!"
"After all, this time the attack by the abyssal creatures is unprecedentedly huge, far more terrifying than when the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect was attacked!!"
"Expecting only the people of Seven Treasures Glaze Sect to withstand it is almost impossible!!"
Tang San, hearing this, felt puzzled again, "But... Grand Elder, if I'm not mistaken, aren't the Three Sects and Martial Soul Hall in an adversary relationship??"
"Why send Qian Jun and the others to support? Letting them be destroyed should be beneficial?"
Qian Dao Liu glanced at him and explained, "Tang San, you misunderstood, the relationship between Martial Soul Hall and the Three Sects is not close, but they're not enemies!"
"Moreover, not long ago, the two sides discussed cooperation!"
Tang San pondered, "I see, it's my misunderstanding!"
It seems that indeed there is a misunderstanding between the Hao Tian Clan and the Martial Soul Hall!
His mother wasn't killed by the Martial Soul Hall, but for other reasons!
Qian Dao Liu lost interest in the conversation, earnestly advised, "Alright, Tang San, this isn't something you should be concerned about, what you need to do is focus on cultivation, and improve as much as possible, so you can avenge the Magic Bear!"
"As for the news from the outside world, don't get involved, it will only distract you!"
He didn't want Tang San, whom he finally grasped, to get delayed in his plans because of certain issues!
Tang San, hearing this, lowered his head in guilt, "I understand, Grand Elder!!"
Indeed, he shouldn't waste time on this, but should focus on cultivating!
Sensing several familiar auras approaching the Worship Hall, Qian Dao Liu immediately turned his body...
"Alright, cultivate well here, I'll leave for now, if you need anything, just tell the soldiers around in the Worship Hall, they'll do their best to assist you!!
...
In the Xingluo Empire, within the imperial palace!
One of the soldiers bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, Li Yunzhe, the head of the Tang Sect Branch, the Spirit Pagoda Branch Master, and the Federation Investigation Team request an audience!"
Upon hearing this, the Daijins' faces turned furious, "The three major forces unexpectedly sent people at the same time, seems they suspect we're colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"Damn, this wretched Holy Spirit Cult, to frame us like this, do they really think we're easy targets?"
"The more this happens, the calmer we need to be, we absolutely must not fall for the Holy Spirit Cult's tricks!"
Dai Yueyan, sitting on the throne, spoke in a deep voice, "Let the representatives of the major forces come in! It's a good opportunity to clarify this matter!"
But at that moment, an old man hiding in the shadows suddenly appeared, leaned next to him, and said something gravely...
Upon hearing the words, Dai Yueyan's pupils shrank dramatically, "What?? You mean... Yun'er was captured by the Holy Spirit Cult?"
The old man nodded, "Indeed, the Holy Spirit Cult people demand you go to the designated location now, or else they'll..."
Dai Yueyan clenched his fists, roaring angrily, "Damn! Right at this time!"
Yun'er, didn't I tell you never to return to Xingluo Empire without permission?
If anything happens to you, how will I explain to Father Emperor!
The old man hesitantly said, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Dai Yueyan still unwillingly asked, "Are we sure Yun'er was captured by the Holy Spirit Cult?"
The old man confirmed, "Yes, judging from the appearance, it's definitely Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Thinking of this, Dai Yueyan stood up immediately, solemnly saying, "Daijins, I have to leave for some matters, you all handle meeting the representatives of the three major forces!"
He knew the Holy Spirit Cult was deliberately luring him away, but for Dai Yue'er's safety, he had to do it!
The next second, both their figures disappeared from the hall...
Soon after, representatives of the three forces entered the imperial palace...
Upon noticing the absence of Emperor Dai Yueyan, their expressions subtly changed...
The leading Daijin, noticing the unfavorable situation, explained, "Representatives, His Majesty the Emperor just had to leave for urgent matters, please wait a moment!"
The federation high official coolly reprimanded, "Urgent matters? Is there anything more urgent than our federation team being attacked?"
"Is it truly as the outside world says that the Xingluo Empire has already been controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult!"
This comment directly enraged the onsite Daijins...
They all furiously shouted, "Federation representative, mind your words!"
"Even if you're from the federation, don't slander our Xingluo Empire!!"
"A mere Holy Spirit Cult, how could they possibly control our Xingluo Empire!!"
The federation high official coldly responded, "Hmpf, regardless, today the Xingluo Empire must provide a reasonable explanation"
As for the Spirit Pagoda Branch Master and the Tang Sect representative, they exchanged glances, but said nothing...
During this visit to the Xingluo Empire Palace, they indeed didn't sense the aura of the Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters...
However, the emperor of the Xingluo Empire leaving at such a time felt too coincidental!
Could it be there's some deeper reason for doing so??
Or is there some unspeakable scheme at play...
But regardless of the reason, it cannot be avoided!
