"Do the two shixiongs have an important matter?" Jun YanZhi lightly asked.
Wen Jing climbed down from Jun YanZhi"s body and awkwardly stood to the side, not daring to make a sound.
Liu QianMo: "Jun shidi you should get up from the bed. The sect head made a command. Everyone needs to a.s.semble in Qing Xu hall."
"Why?" Jun YanZhi lifted up the blanket. Wen Jing quickly helped him off the bed.
He Ling simply said: "Tian Heng peak had an incident."
Jun YanZhi couldn"t help but be surprised: "What incident?"
Liu QianMo sighed and said: "Once we go, we"ll know……"
From his tone of voice, it could be guessed that this incident was very serious. The few people stopped talking and were waiting for Jun YanZhi to put on his clothes. Taking advantage of the moonlight, they flew towards Qing Xu hall.
The moonlight was like gentle white sand as it surrounded and shined down upon the Xun Yang mountain range. The brightly lit hall could be seen from far away. They could faintly hear people"s voices, yet they weren"t in disorder.
Peng Zhao already brought Mo ShaoYan and the rest to wait in Qing Xu hall. Li Shu loudly yelled: "Shixiong, we"re over here!"
Liu QianMo landed in front of Qian Xu hall: "Let"s go!"
The ten people entered Qing Xu hall together. The disciples of all peaks were gathered. Some seemed as if they were pulled out of bed in the middle of the night, and their clothes were all disorderly. Their hair was a little scattered and not tied up properly, and they were gathered together to quietly talk.
"Just what is the matter? Why were we all called here in the middle of the night?"
"I don"t know……"
"I heard that just now 20 disciples of Tian Heng peak suddenly lost their minds. They were caught by peak master Lu in the middle of the night. Thankfully, they were all Qi Refining disciples so they weren"t very strong, and it didn"t cause major harm."
"What?!"
"Lost their minds? Just like peak master Zhao?"
"……You"re asking me? Then who do I ask?"
"In the day, the peak master of Hong Xiu peak went crazy, and now at night, problems occurred in Tian Heng peak. Was this planned?"
Zhu Jin"s voice sounded through the whole hall: "By sect head Xi"s command, Hui Shi peak"s Liu QianMo, He Ling, Jun YanZhi, and Wen Jing have to come to the back hall to discuss some things. Any disciples that saw any suspicious things and people in the Xun Yang mountain range could come to the back hall afterward to report. The rest of the disciples are ordered to stay and wait in the front hall, leaving is not allowed."
Liu QianMo frowned: "What does it have to do with us?"
He Ling: "I"m not sure. Let"s go."
The four people went towards the back hall together.
Qing Xu hall"s front hall was magnificent and s.p.a.cious. Although the back hall was smaller, it was still s.p.a.cious and cozy. The cultivator Xi Fang calmly sat on the head seat and to his left and right sat twenty some peak masters. Twenty disciples also stood to the side, waiting for further orders.
Standing in front of the twenty something peak masters were the referee disciples that were in charge of the platform where Jun YanZhi and Zhao NingTian were confronting during the day.
The four people went up to pay respects. Liu QianMo respectfully said: "What is the reason sect head Xi told me to come here? What instructions do you have?"
Xi Fang said in a not so slow or fast manner: "Do you guys know how Hong Xiu peak"s peak master Zhao is doing right now?"
"We currently still do not know."
Zhu Jin hasty followed up: "Peak master Zhao has currently lost his reason and is still in the prison struggling, wanting to kill. It is unknown whether he can recover. The symptoms are similar to the symptoms of the disciples of ShuiYue palace a year ago in Eight Winds Cliff.
Lu ChangQing: "He had lost his reasons, neither early nor at a later time. Instead, it was exactly at the time when he was on the platform. This makes people a little suspicious."
Xi Fang: "……That"s right. If peak master Zhao got "Missing Soul", then it would require the fragrance from "Three Worm Root" from the Eight Winds Cliff as a stimulus to react. Zhu Jin searched the surrounding of the platform but wouldn"t find anything."
Lu ChangQing: "This referee disciple, however, said that on the platform he smelled a suspicious fragrance."
That referee disciple, in a panic, said: "After Jun shixiong and peak master Zhao went up onto the platform, I faintly smell a fragrance, but I didn"t know where it was coming from. I have never smelled ‘Three Worm Root" before so I"m not sure if it was "Three Worm Root"."
Xi Fang"s gaze was like fire, staring at Jun YanZhi: "You"ve gone to the Eight Winds Cliff, and you have wood spiritual root. Towards plants and medicinal gra.s.ses, you should have a unique talent. Did you smell that fragrance? Was it "Three Worm Root"?"
Jun YanZhi paled, but he said: "Truthfully, that fragrance mentioned by the referee disciple, is precisely the smell that was on the disciple, but it isn"t "Three Worm Root"."
Once he finished speaking, Jun YanZhi condensed his energy. In the back hall, a faint fragrance slowly spread.
The referee disciple hurriedly said: "It is this fragrance."
The cold fragrance attacked people and made them feel clear-headed and refreshed, but it wasn"t the fragrance from "San Chong Root"……
Tn: Yay! I completed a whole chapter (technically half a chapter) without footnotes! Don"t know if that"s a good thing or not, but I feel accomplished for finding an equivalent for everything without needing further explanation T_T. I actually wanted to end the chapter at the referee disciple saying that "It is this fragrance." but thought that it was too cruel. It"s still kinda cruel, but the next chapter will be here soon!
