Seeing Liu Qing's thoughtful appearance, Elder Li Mu immediately gave him a wake-up call.

"In order to ensure the safety of the sect, I set up an early warning barrier around Xueyun Mountain a long time ago."

"As long as a strong person with the strength in the Yuan Infant Realm enters the range of the Snow Cloud Mountain Range, I will be able to sense it immediately."

"Yesterday, people from the four major sects came one after another, and I also secretly paid attention to their respective personnel."

"The final result is that apart from the disguised Jiang Lingyin, there are no other Yuanying Realm masters."

After listening to the clue provided by Elder Li Mu, Liu Qing quickly made an analysis.

"You mean, it's almost impossible for someone from the four major sects to do this?"

Hearing this, Elder Li Mu nodded slightly.

No other Yuanying Realm master entered the Qingling Sect, and Jiang Lingyin and Li Lao would never do this.

The elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would not take such a big risk to do it to themselves.

The few lines that Liu Qing had guessed had now all been cut off.

Things are starting to get more and more complicated.

"You said, is there a possibility that our sect master has not actually disappeared, but has been staying in the area of the Snow Cloud Mountain Range......

Although I really don't want to persecute my cheap master in my heart, at the moment, it seems that only this line is more realistic.

However, to Liu Qing's surprise, before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Li Lao waving his hand.

"Impossible, although Sect Master Xiao Sheng's disappearance back then did have hidden secrets, he would never do anything that harmed the interests of the sect."

"Besides, after he disappeared mysteriously back then, the entire Qingling Sect was looking for him.

If he hadn't left the Snow Cloud Mountains, he wouldn't have been undiscovered all the time. ”

As soon as Elder Li Mu said this, Liu Qing's other clue was completely interrupted.

Well, I don't have a clue now. ’

Liu Qing rubbed his somewhat swollen head, and his whole person was a little confused.

From beginning to end, he was also trying his best to analyze this matter, but in the end, it was no different from not thinking about it.

As you think.

"Elder Li, I really don't have a clue, why don't you go to the other elders and see if there are any new discoveries."

Poured himself a cup of tea, and Liu Qing drank it all.

Then he looked at the equally helpless Li Lao in front of him helplessly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, followed by a voice in unison.

"Alas~"

Just when Li Lao was about to get up and go to look for other clues.

Suddenly, there was a rush in his ears.

"Senior Brother Li, it's not good."

"The people of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect have an accident again!"

The voice was emitted by the second elder Cheng Sheng, and it used a special sound transmission channel established between the six elders.

Hearing this, Elder Li Mu immediately stood up from his chair.

Liu Qing, who was still pouring tea on the side, was taken aback.

"What's the matter, Old Li, did you think of something?"

"No, it's the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect who have an accident again."

"I don't know exactly what the situation is now, so come with me to take a look."

Hearing that Elder Li Mu was going to take him to the scene, Liu Qing instinctively resisted.

You must know that you can slaughter all the more than 20 disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in a quiet way, and they have not been discovered by the elders in the late stage of the Jindan Realm.

Then this murderer hiding in the shadows must have reached the Yuan Infant Realm in strength.

And now Liu Qing is just a small Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, once he is targeted by that secret poisonous snake.

Destruction is only a matter of moments.

It's nothing to help Li Lao analyze it in a safe environment, but once Liu Qingming is involved in this matter.

It is bound to attract the attention of the perpetrator directly.

When the time comes, it is not known what the consequences will be.

"Elder Li, I still have to be in charge of the service work of Miaoyin Valley with Senior Sister Li, so I won't go to the scene first."

Seeing Liu Qing's cautious face, Elder Li Mu's face suddenly stiffened.

"You kid knows how to seek advantage and avoid harm."

"But now that such a serious matter has occurred in the Qingling Sect, the other party's strength is extremely strong."

"Do you think there's a safe place on the top of the summit?"

After such a reminder from Li Lao, Liu Qing came to his senses.

Yes, in the current situation, the entire Pingding Peak is a dangerous quagmire.

The poisonous snake that lurks in the shadows, I don't know who it will do to it next time.

Maybe it's Miaoyin Valley, maybe it's people from the other two sects.

There may even be a disciple of the Qingling Sect.

Coming to his senses in an instant, Liu Qing put on a flattering smile and looked at Li Lao again.

"Sharing the worries of the sect is what I should do as a disciple."

"I'll go to the scene with you, Mr. Li, and I promise that I will never leave your side for half a step."

There is a murderer in the Yuan Infant Realm who is lurking in the shadows and may strike at any time, and he is not safe to stay by the side of the Great Elder.

looked at Elder Li Mu, who was stiff and a little old in front of him.

Liu Qing felt that his figure was so straight and tall, and there seemed to be a trace of golden light flashing around him.

'This ...... Is it the sense of security brought by the strong people in the Yuan Infant Realm? ’

A few seconds later, when Liu Qing slowly recovered from the immersive shock.

He found that the old Li in front of him was frantically pinching the magic trick, allowing the surrounding light to gather around him as much as possible.

"Gan, it's a special effect!"

"Old Li, you still have the magic power!"

Seeing that his methods were seen through by Liu Qing, Li Lao smiled awkwardly, and then returned to the serious expression he had just had.

"Let's go, we'll go to the scene now."

After coming out of Liu Qing's room, the two of them soon came to the new resting area of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Because more than twenty disciples were killed in the place where they rested before, in order to facilitate the investigation, and also for the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to stabilize their minds.

The Qingling Sect specially arranged a new rest area for them.

Moreover, the delicate-minded Second Elder Cheng Sheng also selected a few gentle and generous female disciples from the inner and outer doors to appease their emotions.

But in less than an hour, the new resting area of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had completely become a purgatory.

This time, it was the four personal disciples who died.

Unlike the disciples who had their skulls crushed before, the four of them had their entire bodies torn apart.

Countless limb fragments were scattered on the polished floor, and the entire room had been transformed into a sea of blood.

"This ......"

After Elder Li Mu and Liu Qing arrived at the scene, they were instantly stunned by this scene.

In addition to the creepy scenes mentioned above, on the walls of the room.

There are also a few large bright red letters.

The people of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect dared to step into the Snow Cloud Mountain Range and die!

Through the traces, Liu Qing can see it at a glance.

These dozen or so characters were carved out with a spirit sword, and there was still a trace of sword qi on them.

Obviously, it was carved not long ago.

"Old Li, this ......"

Seeing that Li Lao on the side had not spoken, as if he was thoughtful, Liu Qing had to call him out.

But his words not only did not bring Li Lao back to his senses, but instead made him fall into deeper memories.

After a long time, Li Lao's lips opened slightly, and he slowly spit out a few words from his mouth.

"I know who did this......

As soon as his words fell, the figure of Elder Song appeared outside the door.

He quickly came to the room, first at the fragments of the stump on the ground, and then at the row of blood-red letters on the wall.

The angry voice came in an instant.

"Li Mu, you still said that this matter was not done by your Qingling Sect!"

"This time, the murderer killed four of my Ten Thousand Sword Sect's personal disciples, and he also left such provocative words."

"You have made it clear that you are going to declare war on my Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"

This time, in the face of the other party's threat, Li Mu did not say anything.

Instead, he staggered out of the room, looking at the tall and majestic mountains not far away.

muttered to his mouth:

"Why...... I'm going to do something like this..."

Soon, the rest of the elders also arrived.

Elder Li Mu glanced at them, and then sighed faintly.

"Let's find a way to arrange for the people of the four major sects to go down the mountain first."

"It's time to solve the internal affairs of our Qingling Sect."

As the saying goes, it is easier to please God than to send God.

The people of the four major sects came to the Qingling Sect this time to recruit disciples from outside.

Now that the recruitment of disciples has not yet begun, the Qingling Sect is about to drive them down the mountain.

What a reason!

Especially the Ten Thousand Swords Sect team, where all the disciples were slaughtered, the two elders in charge of leading the team were even more furious at this time.

After waiting for such a long time, he didn't wait for the so-called explanation, and now he even drove them away.

It's clear that I just don't want to take responsibility.

Seeing that none of the four major sects left, Elder Li Mu had no choice but to make a big salute to them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my Qingling Sect now has internal matters that need to be dealt with, and I am afraid that this matter of recruiting disciples will not be held as scheduled."

"Please also ask all fellow Daoists to be considerate and don't embarrass us again."

Elder Li Mu's tone was very flat, and there was a trace of disappointment and decadence on his face.

It's just that such an unreasonable behavior of the Qingling Sect will naturally not be accepted by the four major sects.

After listening to Elder Li's explanation, an elder immediately stood up.

"The matter of jointly recruiting disciples was decided by the five major sects together.

You Qingling Sect said that if you don't do it, you won't do it, who do you think you are! ”

"That is, your Qingling Sect is so unreasonable today, aren't you afraid that our four major sects will unite to attack you!"

Among the four major sects, only Miaoyin Valley, which has the least entanglement with the Qingling Sect, has not expressed its attitude.

The other three sects stood directly together, expressing their dissatisfaction with the Qingling Sect.

Seeing that these people were lying on the flat peak and refused to come down the mountain, Elder Li Mu gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Senior brothers and sisters, open the Great Sect Protector Array and invite the people of the four major sects down the mountain!"

The Qingling Sect's Protector Array was arranged by the Patriarch Qingling Zhenren and several other powers.

For so many years, it has not been used.

As soon as Elder Li Mu's voice fell, the rest of the elders instantly exerted their strength.

Six spiritual powers soared into the sky and galloped towards the highest peak of the Snow Cloud Mountain Range.

On Baicao Peak, Zhu San and his wife looked over there one after another.

Then his eyes were full of determination.

"This day is finally coming!"

Soon, with the combined efforts of the six elders, the Qingling Sect's Sect Protector Array was completely activated.

The first to feel the change were the people of the four major sects who had not left on the Pingding Peak.

In the last second, they were still arguing for the unreasonableness of the Qingling Sect, and the next second, they instantly appeared at the foot of the mountain.

The Qingling Sect actually started the Great Sect Protector Formation and drove them all down the mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain in a daze, a leader said in horror:

"I heard that the ancestor of the Qingling Sect, Qingling Zhenren, started to build this Sect Protector Array at the beginning of the establishment of the Qingling Sect.

It's just that no one has seen it activated for thousands of years.

Originally, I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”

An elder in Miaoyin Valley also responded.

"Every sect's sect protector array will only be opened when the sect is facing a crisis.

Today, the six elders of the Qingling Sect suddenly opened this big array, and it seems that something really happened to them inside. ”

Of course, at this time, the most angry were tens of thousands of Sword Sect Elder Sun.

"What kind of bullshit sect protection array, I think they are just thieves.

Nearly thirty disciples of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect have been brutalized, and now they just rely on a broken formation to withstand our wrath! ”

"No way!"

The rest of the sect looked at Elder Sun and shook their heads at each other.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect's fondness for talking hi has been inherited for thousands of years, and if they disagree with each other, they will make an appointment with someone to start a war, but in the end, they have never experienced a major war.

Even if they had lost nearly thirty disciples in the Qingling Sect this time, with the current strength of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, it was absolutely impossible for them to start an all-out war.

Therefore, Elder Sun's words are just listening to Lele.

In the crowd, Jiang Lingyin, who was disguised as Concubine Chu's snow, looked at the magnificent Snow Cloud Mountain Range in front of him, as well as the faintly visible formation around the mountain range.

I was deeply in thought.

On the other side, after opening the Great Sect Protector Array, the Qingling Sect had already begun to make a mess.

Elder Li Mu immediately called Lao Huang over, and at the same time instructed all the personal disciples present.

It is necessary to maintain order within the sect.

Then, he glanced at Liu Qing beside him, and a rare smile appeared on his originally serious face.

"Boy Liu Qing, some things before the sect, Zhu San should have told you about them when you went to the Spirit Plantation Garden."

"What happened back then, he knew that it was only part of it."

"This time, if the Qingling Sect's catastrophe can be successfully passed, I will definitely find an opportunity to tell you about it."

"And now, I, Li Mu, am going to fight to the death for the Qingling Sect!"

After saying this, Elder Li Mu looked at the highest peak of the Snow Cloud Mountain Range.

The majestic voice instantly floated.

"Master, after so many years, it's time for your old man to show up!"
