Chapter 392 - A Private Talk

Chapter 392 - A Private Talk

The disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect were rather quick and swiftly set up some restrictions to stop people from escaping. Though this wasn’t actually for the people that were sitting in the audience, no rather it was for the people who might have been hiding here.

The restrictions would stop anyone from leaving, and the spirit sense of Yi Deng had also scanned for people that might have been hiding. If they could not be found by him, the restriction formation will scan everyone, even small insects.

The people that were in attendance were a bit upset but did not dare to protest or complain. They knew better than to do that, and it was obvious who the more powerful party was here. With that in mind, the people stood there calmly.

The disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect went around asking the people questions about everything. But they already knew that there wouldn’t be any results. The identities of these people here were verified, and they were well known.

"Peak master, I’ve talked with the people in the audience and they are definitely fine. We were sitting there too, and we didn’t see anyone moving. Junior Elder Fa Shiu somehow disappeared into thin air." One of the disciples said.

"We also talked with the guards and no one was seen leaving the area. Neither a suspect nor, junior elder Fa Shiu." Fa Lao said with a straight face.

"Hmm... it is indeed as I expected. We’ll have to wait for the supreme elder to investigate this... I don’t have the skill required." Yi Deng spoke.

The disciples were confused about what the peak master was talking about. They had thought that the peak master was calling the supreme elder for his authority. But now the peak master admitted that he had called him because he himself was inadequate to handle it.

"Peak master, if it is fine with you. Why would the supreme elder be needed here? What skill are you talking about?" Quan Hong who had returned a minute ago questioned in a low voice.

Yi Deng stroked his beard but did not answer.

"What do you think could be something that can cause a problem for even a nascent soul realm cultivator?" Yi Zi Jin suddenly asked.

During the entire thing, she was the only one who was calmly sitting and did not act. It was as if she cared the least about everything and did not want to be bothered. The other disciples also did not disturb her and left her to do her own thing.

"Sister Yi Zi Jin, may I answer?" one of the junior disciples said.

Yi Zi Jin looked at the young looking boy who was probably in his teens and nodded her head.

"Go ahead," She replied.

"I believe only a nascent soul realm cultivator can threaten another Nascent soul realm cultivator. So if the venerable supreme elder is being called then that means the other part must be that strong or above it." The junior disciple said in a respectful tone.

"Indeed. You are correct." Yi Zi Jin replied.

The face of the junior disciple lit up, seeing that he had received the approval of Senior sister Yi Zi Jin.

"What? Really? Why would a Nascent soul realm cultivator target one of our disciples like that?" Pei Lao asked.

~Sigh~

"That is what we need to find out..." Peak master Yi Deng said while sighing.

Seeing the change in the mood of Peak master, the disciples understood that this was going to be difficult.

"Peak master Yi Deng, I believe everyone has been vetted? So it should be fine to allow them to return now." Wu Hei said.

"Alright then... tell them they are free to go. But be ready to report as soon as the supreme elder comes here." Yi Deng spoke.

"WAIT!" Fa Lao suddenly said.

"Is there a problem?" Wu Hei questioned.

"There are two people we haven’t asked." Fa Shiu said as he pointed at Lin Mu and Qing Yuan Tiu.

Wu Hei furrowed his brows as he said, "Them? They were fighting and were in front of us the entire time. It’s more likely for someone else to be the suspect."

"We still want to question them." Yi Deng said.

He thought about the two contestants and realized that he actually didn’t know about them. He only knew about Qing Yuan Tiu, and even that was due to the letter of confirmation he had received from the sect. He knew that letters like that could be forged. It would be difficult, but it could be done.

He wondered if this really was that case. He pondered more and realized that a small sect like Autumn valley sect having a core condensation realm seemed unusual. Even in medium size sect like the Tri cauldron peony sect, the core condensation realm disciples would become Junior elders.

For a Small sect like Autumn valley sect, they were already enough to become full fledged elders.

"Bring them to me. I want to talk with them in private." Peak master Yi Deng declared.

Wu Hei looked at him for a moment before nodding his head.

"Alright, Lord Mu Lin shouldn’t mind this, and I don’t think Sister Qing Yuan Tiu would do either." Wu Hei said before going towards the two.

Lin Mu saw him approaching and already knew what was going to happen. He had been listening to their conversation with his enhanced hearing and knew exactly what was going to happen.

Wu Hei approached Lin Mu and spoke in a low voice.

"The peak master is..." but before he could continue, Lin Mu interrupted him.

"I heard. I think we can use this to our advantage." He replied.

"We can?" Wu Hei questioned.

"Yes, just let me talk and see if it can work." Lin Mu answered.

"If Brother Lin Mu is affirmative then, please go ahead." Wu Hei agreed and went to talk with Qing Yuan Tiu.

Wu Hei informed Qing Yuan Tiu of what the Peak master wanted and she agreed without saying anything. To her, this was nothing of much importance and all she wanted was for it to end so that she could go on her way.
