Du Youqian led the four Qi Cultivation disciples straight back to the Sect.
Just as they passed through the Sect's main gate, a jade slip flew toward them.
Du Youqian caught it and probed it with his Divine Sense.
The message inside forbade him and the surviving disciples from revealing anything about the relics to anyone.
It was signed by Supreme Elder Shi Shentong.
Du Youqian considered this for a moment, a few suspicions forming in his mind.
He then led the surviving disciples to Mingfa Hall for questioning.
Just as he expected, he only received a few perfunctory verbal reprimands. The tone wasn't harsh at all; in fact, it was more comforting than anything.
It was clearly just a formality.
Furthermore, despite the disastrous losses the team had suffered under his leadership, there were no real consequences.
What's more, the people from Mingfa Hall didn't even ask what had happened in the relics.
The whole affair was incredibly strange.
