The Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect could not believe that his son had actually been killed in Jihu County. Jihu County was, after all, within the Qing Feng Sect's sphere of influence. Could it have been the Qing Shui Sect? No! That was impossible. Although the Qing Shui Sect and we outwardly seem to be at odds, they had no reason to kill my son. Could it have been people from another sect?
In an instant, the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect's mind raced through all sorts of potential enemies. However, after thinking so much, he still needed to ask directly.
"Who? Who exactly killed the Sect Master?"
The Qing Feng Sect disciple who had rushed back to report looked at the person in front of him with confusion. Who was this person? Why had he also come to the main hall? Why weren't the surrounding elders driving him out?
The Discipline Elder beside him said, "What are you still standing there for? This is our Qing Feng Sect's Supreme Elder. His seniority is higher than ours, the elders."
The Qing Feng Sect disciple who had rushed back to report repeatedly agreed and said, "Yes, yes, I'll say it immediately. The Sect Master was killed by the two people in these portraits. At that time, they were sitting on a very large magical artifact..."
The Qing Feng Sect disciple who had rushed back to report continuously narrated what had happened. While he was narrating, the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect kept asking for all sorts of details.
After listening, the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect was filled with rage. This was because he not only heard that his son had been killed but also that his grandson had been killed.
"Damn it, this is a feud that cannot be forgiven. Since you people went to save the people of Jihu County, then I will slaughter all the people of Jihu County. Guards, order the entire Qing Feng Sect to mobilize and go to Jihu County to carry out a massacre!"
After he finished speaking, the aura emanating from the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect vibrated the surrounding air. The ordinary disciple beside him could only endure it with great difficulty under such circumstances.
The elders around did not dare to speak when they saw the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect in this state. After all, the Supreme Elder had lost his son and grandson at this time. If they spoke up now, they might be punished.
After the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect finished speaking, the Qing Feng Sect did not set off immediately. After all, a large-scale mobilization of the Qing Feng Sect required preparation of some ammunition and supplies.
After half a day of preparation, more than a thousand people from the Qing Feng Sect began to set off.
And because everyone's cultivation was different, their speed of movement was not too fast.
After the main force began to set off, the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect began to regret it. After all, the speed of progress was too slow.
The Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect summoned the Discipline Elder.
"Discipline Elder. The current speed of progress is too slow. Can't we speed them up?"
"Senior Uncle, we can't do anything in this situation. After all, there are still quite a few people with low cultivation in the team, and there are even disciples who haven't even reached the Qi Refining stage."
The Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect thought for a moment and said, "I was not considerate enough. Let those disciples who haven't reached Qi Induction withdraw from the team. They are too slow. Bringing them along will only drag down our pace of progress."
"Yes!"
Immediately, the large team was reduced from one thousand people to seven hundred people.
After all remaining members were at the Qi Refining stage, the speed became a little faster. However, the Supreme Elder was still not satisfied and wanted to speed up.
Under these circumstances, the Discipline Elder had to unite with the other elders and try to persuade the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect before he gave up this idea.
During the persuasion, the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect also asked why the disciple who had fled back, who was also at the Qi Refining stage, could return to the sect from Jihu County in just one day and one night. In the end, he was convinced by the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect's explanation that the disciple had a powerful movement technique that allowed him to achieve such speed.
Meanwhile, Su Han, who had emerged from the teleportation portal, immediately learned about what had happened in the Qing Feng Sect.
Su Han asked, "What is going on with this large-scale mobilization of the Qing Feng Sect?"
Chu Shi looked at their planned route and said, "According to the route, the Qing Feng Sect is heading towards Jihu County. Jihu County is where they intend to go."
"Going to Jihu County again? Do they think we'll still be waiting there for revenge? Their thinking is too naive!"
"Deputy Minister Su Han, I believe the Qing Feng Sect is still going there to threaten the ordinary people in Jihu County. They did it once, and it's highly probable they'll do it again."
"So they still want to take hostages. Chu Shi, send out a few drones to broadcast a notification to the ordinary people in Jihu County, telling them to leave. I didn't expect we would have to face the main force of Jihu County so soon. Send drones to observe the situation of their team."
Chu Shi controlled several drones that slowly descended from the sky to capture more accurate intelligence on the Qing Feng Sect's team.
At this time, the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect was flying in the sky at a height of only about twenty meters.
When the drone from the sky descended below the clouds, the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect sensed it.
"Huh? What is that? A bird?"
When the drone descended further, the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect could see the drone more clearly.
"It's not a bird? Is it some kind of magical artifact?"
The Discipline Elder below also looked at the drone with confusion. He had seen a drone before, and now he saw one again.
The Qing Feng Sect disciple who had fled back to report quickly shouted, "It's those people's magical artifact. Discipline Elder, Supreme Elder, it's those people's magical artifact. It's the magical artifact of the people who killed the Sect Master. I saw many such magical artifacts when I was there."
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Elder of the Qing Feng Sect immediately flew towards the drone and slashed it with his sword, turning the drone into fragments.
At this moment, Su Han saw that several drones had been destroyed by that person and said, "It seems that the person flying in the sky is the most powerful person in the Qing Feng Sect. He's in the Golden Core stage. Golden Core stage cultivators can fly for extended periods. Their strength far surpasses that of Foundation Establishment cultivators. We'll have to focus our attention on him when the fighting begins. Oh, and where are the drones we sent to gather intelligence on the Qing Feng Sect?"
Chu Shi said, "They are hidden among the clouds. To minimize drone losses, they have been concealed in the clouds."
Su Han said, "The most powerful Golden Core cultivator of the Qing Feng Sect has left. The Qing Feng Sect headquarters must be empty now. Lower the drones to see the current situation at the Qing Feng Sect headquarters. If it's empty, then we'll pay a visit to the Qing Feng Sect headquarters!"
