Chapter 289: Qingyun's doubts
readx;
The reason why Long Xiaoyao did not capture Elder Zhang's Yuan Ying alive to search for souls was mainly because soul searching required his own cultivation to be higher than that of the other party, and for the opponent with higher cultivation, the worse the effect of soul searching, and he might even be counterattacked by the opponent's Yuan Shen.

At the same time as Elder Zhang fell, the Qingyun Sect discovered because of the dimness of the essence blood card, and the head of the Qingyun Sect was suddenly shocked. The head of Qingyun was just a Yuanying mid-level cultivator, and of course he was full of awe for the Great Elder. The descendants of the Great Elder actually died, and as the head of the family, he naturally could not shirk his responsibility.
At present, the Great Elder Taishang is in retreat, and before the retreat, he had left a message that he would not leave the level if he did not break through to the 6th level of the Ascension Stage, and ordered that no matter what happened, then a strong enemy would come to the door, and nothing should be disturbed him.
The Ascending Stage Immortal Cultivator's usual cultivation could be stopped at any time, but the reason why the Great Elder closed the Death Pass was mainly because he had obtained a poisonous dragon fruit. This kind of spiritual fruit is directly subdued, and it contains abundant energy, which is of great benefit to the cultivation of the Ascension Stage Monk and break through the bottleneck.
However, dragon fruit is also highly poisonous, and most of its role in helping to break through bottlenecks is due to the toxicity it contains, which can fully stimulate the potential of monks. But this poison is a double-edged sword, after taking the poisonous dragon fruit, the monk needs to defend himself with all his attention, and if he is not careful, he will be poisoned to death.
He couldn't disturb the Great Elder, but Elder Zhang's death was no longer something that the head of the sect could solve, so he hurriedly sent out a transmission note to invite the other four Supreme Elders who were in retreat and cultivation to personally preside over the matter.
When Elder Zhang was notified by the eyeliner that a Jindan monk had a private meeting with Bai Ruyu in the Jade Maiden Palace, and left the sect in anger and rushed to the Jade Maiden Palace, although the head of Qingyun did not think that there was any danger, he suggested that Elder Zhang bring a few helpers with him. It's just that Elder Zhang felt that this matter was detrimental to his face, and refused to bring people with him.
Of course, the head of Qingyun didn't dare to force Elder Zhang, and felt that Elder Zhang had an ancient treasure, even if he was not defeated by other Yuanying cultivators, it should still be more than enough to protect himself and escape. And the Immortal Cultivation Realm Ascension Stage Cultivator will never make a move easily, Elder Zhang, as the descendant of the Supreme Elder, even if he encounters a Flying Ascension Stage Cultivator, the other party will be merciful.
However, the situation has developed so far, and the head of Qingyun has been terrified and wants to cry without tears. He sincerely explained the situation to several Supreme Elders who were unhappy because they were disturbed, the Second Elder of the Qingyun Sect was a Flying Ascension Stage 4 monk, so this matter was naturally presided over by him.
The second elder was quite calm, analyzed the causes and consequences, and thought that this matter should have little to do with the Jade Maiden Palace, and the current Jade Maiden Palace would never turn against the Qingyun faction, even if Elder Zhang's approach was excessive, the Jade Maiden Palace could only choose to forbear.
However, Elder Zhang's place of death was near the Jade Maiden Palace, and his death must have some connection with Bai Ruyu. The second elder thought that the monk who could kill Elder Zhang should be a cultivator of the Yuan Ying high rank or above. If it was a Flying Ascension Stage Cultivator of another sect who made a move, this matter would be even more troublesome, and there must not be the slightest mistake.
As a result, the Second Elder decided to leave the two Supreme Elders behind, and opened the Qingyun Sect's Protector Array, and until this matter was clarified, all disciples above the Jindan Stage were not allowed to go out.
The decision to open the Great Array of Guardians is definitely a top priority for the Immortal Cultivation Sect, not to mention that the amount of spirit stones that this kind of large array needs to consume every day is astronomical. The most important thing is that the Great Array of Protectors is a manifestation of the comprehensive defense of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and it will only be a last resort when facing a great enemy, which will have a negative impact on the prestige of the sect, and even the head of the sect has no right to decide.
The second elder guessed in his heart that it was the competing sect that learned that the Great Elder was closed to death, and planned to take this opportunity to attack the Qingyun faction. And it is likely that the killing of Elder Zhang was to search for souls to confirm this matter.
Of course, the second elder would not rely on speculation alone, he decided to personally take another Supreme Elder to the Jade Maiden Palace to negotiate and investigate. The second elder is cautious by nature, and all decisions come from his cautious character.
The shopkeeper in the high-end shop, who was stunned by the dragon's escape, woke up six hours later, found the sealed Elder Shui, and immediately called the shopkeeper in a panic. The shopkeeper was only a Jindan stage cultivator, and of course he was powerless to lift the seal on Elder Shui's body, so he hurriedly went to the Jade Maiden Palace to report.
The Yuan Ying Elder of the Jade Maiden Palace was restrained, this was of course the top priority, and the Grand Elder of the Jade Maiden Palace personally rushed to the shop to rescue him, and of course the seal of Long Xiaoyao would not stump the Ascending Stage Cultivator. The Great Elder found that Elder Shui was sealed by the Thunder Attribute True Qi, not only did he not suspect that Elder Shui was waterproof, but when he returned to the sect, he solemnly announced that all disciples under the sect were not allowed to go out at will.
Elder Shui just said that he was attacked in the shop, and the Great Elder judged from the state of the seal that the enemy was a high-ranking monk of Yuanying. As far as she knew, there were only two super sects in the Middle-earth Immortal Cultivation Realm that possessed the Thunder Spirit Root Yuan Infant Cultivator.
The Great Elder Taishang didn't know the other party's purpose, but since the opponent didn't kill him, he just took Bai Ruyu away from the Dumb Water Elder, and it was estimated that the other party was not targeting the Jade Maiden Palace. However, she didn't dare to continue the investigation, for fear that she would inadvertently provoke the super faction and bring ruin to the Jade Maiden Palace.
The second elder of the Qingyun faction relied on Elder Zhang's essence blood card to find the scene where Elder Zhang was killed. Although the battlefield was simply cleaned by Long Xiaoyao, from the residual breath at the scene, the second elder still discovered the thunder attribute spiritual power, and concluded that the murderer was a Yuan Infant Stage cultivator.
The second elder of Qingyun Taishang rushed to the Jade Maiden Palace again, although the Grand Elder of the Jade Maiden Palace did not want to be involved in this matter, but the Qingyun Sect did not dare to offend the Jade Maiden Palace, especially when he heard that Elder Zhang was actually killed, the Grand Elder of the Jade Maiden Palace did not dare to hide anything, and told the second elder of the Qingyun Sect that Elder Shui was sealed and Bai Ruyu was robbed.
Since the Grand Elder of the Jade Maiden Palace speculated that the person who attacked Elder Shui was a Yuanying high-level thunder attribute cultivator, and the conclusion of the investigation was roughly the same as that of the Second Elder Qingyun, Elder Shui did not arouse suspicion, after all, Elder Shui's strength was not as good as Elder Zhang, and it was normal for him to be attacked and sealed by the murderer.
Originally, the original intention of Qingyun to send the second elder Taishang to the Jade Maiden Palace was to use this to suppress the Jade Maiden Palace, and even merge the Jade Maiden Palace into a branch of the Qingyun Sect. But now that it has been discovered that the murderer is indeed a thunder attribute primordial infant cultivator, there are only two super factions in the Middle Earth Immortal Cultivation Realm who have this talent. And he didn't deal with the Jade Maiden Palace, all the actions were obviously aimed at the Qingyun Sect, the more the second elder thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and he was not in the mood to calculate the Jade Maiden Palace anymore, so he hurriedly returned to the Qingyun Sect.
Then, something happened that made the Middle-earth Immortal Cultivation Realm puzzled, the Qingyun Sect suddenly announced the closure of the mountain for no reason, and all the disciples were in retreat and cultivation in the door, and even some of the immortal cultivation resources took the initiative to give up.
