Chapter 94: The Aftermath
"Yes, Uncle Master, our disciples from the Moon-Shattering Sect have searched the entire Spirit Stone Mine, but there is no trace of Uncle Master Xuan anywhere!"
Hearing this, Yu Xing's face darkened.
Given Xuan Le's character, he would never leave for no reason without notifying the people here.
Well, the fact that he hasn't shown up yet can only mean that something has gone wrong with him.
"Brother Ye, what do you think?" Yu Xing looked at Ye Changsheng with a gloomy face and asked.
He did not doubt Ye Changsheng.
As everyone knows, Ye Changsheng has been staying in the mine, while Xuan Le left the canyon and went outside to investigate the situation.
Moreover, Yu Xing didn’t think that a person in the middle stage of Foundation Building could kill a person in the late stage of Foundation Building.
Xuan Le is not the kind of person who has just entered the late stage of foundation building and whose realm is unstable.
"This matter is very weird!" Ye Changsheng said slowly.
Yu Xing nodded upon hearing this: "I think so too. Senior Brother Xuan is very powerful and responsible. He disappeared without a word, so he must have encountered some problems!"
"It is very likely that something unexpected has happened!"
"Could it be... a demon monk?"
Ye Changsheng's words directly scared Yu Xing.
"Impossible?!"
His face immediately turned ugly.
If it was a demon monk, Xuan Le might have been killed.
"If he is not a cultivator of the evil sect, then why hasn't Senior Brother Xuan shown up yet?!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
Yu Xing frowned and paced back and forth. After a while, he said to Ye Changsheng, "Brother Ye, let's look for him again. Maybe Brother Xuan just went to some far place and couldn't come back for a while!"
Ye Changsheng groaned for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll ask the disciples of the Yellow Maple Valley to join us in searching for Senior Brother Xuan's whereabouts!"
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately cupped his hands, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "Brother Ye is very righteous and upright, I admire you. Now that Senior Brother Xuan is not here, we should all follow Brother Ye's lead. Brother Ye, please give me your orders, I will never refuse!"
Obviously, when this slick old man saw that Xuan Le was in trouble, he immediately began to show goodwill to Ye Changsheng.
Ye Changsheng smiled without comment, walked out and told the disciples of Huangfeng Valley to set out to search for Xuan Le's whereabouts.
Yu Xing also immediately mobilized the disciples of Tianque Fort.
So, the disciples of the three sects immediately set up their magic weapons, flew out of the canyon, and searched for Xuan Le's whereabouts in the surrounding wasteland.
I searched all night and found nothing.
By the next morning, everyone had to admit that something was indeed wrong with Xuan Le.
The disciples of the Yanyue Sect looked as if they were about to face a disaster and had sad faces.
"It seems that it is really possible that the evil monks were causing trouble!" Ye Changsheng summarized Xuan Le's disappearance.
"Brother Ye, what should we do? Even Senior Brother Xuan was killed by the evil villain. How can we defend this place?"
"What should we do if the demons attack?" Yu Xing's face was full of panic.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's very likely that the person who came here was just a vanguard of the Demonic Path, who was investigating the defense situation here and happened to run into Senior Brother Xuan!"
"From the results so far, Senior Brother Xuan is probably no match for that evil villain. But we don't need to worry about the evil villain attacking us right now!"
"Since we are the advance team, it means we are still some distance away from the others!"
Ye Changsheng's words calmed the frightened Yu Xing down a little.
"Brother Ye, you make the decision on what to do now!" Yu Xing quickly expressed his opinion and followed Ye Changsheng's lead.
With a sneer in his heart, Ye Changsheng said calmly: "What we need to do now is that we cannot leave a single !"
"Brother Yu, go and unlock the restrictions on those spirit stones and put them away first!"
Yu Xing nodded quickly and said, "Brother Ye is right, but should we report the attack of the demon monks immediately?"
Ye Changsheng shook his head and said, "The demon cultivator is just our guess. Do you have any definite evidence?"
"If Senior Brother Xuan's death was not caused by the demon cultivator, but by some other reason, then didn't we lie about the military intelligence?"
"What does Brother Ye mean?"
"Just report truthfully and explain clearly what happened. Don't mix in our personal judgment. Let the masters of the seven sects judge whether there is an invasion by demons!" Ye Changsheng said.
"Brother Ye, this is a great idea. In this way, even if there are no demonic cultivators, we will not be punished by the masters of the seven sects!" Yu Xing's face immediately showed admiration.
He immediately went to remove the restrictions on those spirit stones.
Ye Changsheng turned around and walked towards the group of Qi-refining disciples from the Yellow Maple Valley, and ordered them, "You should take the miners here and evacuate immediately. The demon cultivators may come, and there is no point in you staying here!"
"Then what will you do, uncle?" asked a disciple of Huangfeng Valley.
"I will stay here and guard the spirit stone mine!" Ye Changsheng had a righteous look on his face.
All the disciples of Huangfeng Valley were full of admiration.
"You guys go quickly!"
"Yes, Uncle Master!"
The group of Huangfeng Valley disciples were eager to leave, so they immediately took the order and left.
The canyon where the spirit stone mine was located quickly became deserted .
A large group of people evacuated urgently.
Ye Changsheng and Yu Xing brought the Qi-refining disciples of the Yanyue Sect to stay and guard the place.
Both of them understood that if there was a demonic invasion, these disciples of the Yanyue Sect would only be cannon fodder.
But who can blame them for not having any foundation-building cultivators now?
"Brother Ye, in order to prevent the spirit stones from being snatched away by the evil thieves, I'll give this bag of spirit stones to you for safekeeping!" Yu Xing handed a bag to Ye Changsheng reluctantly.
"The task of looking after the spirit stones is in the charge of Brother Yu. How can you give it to me?" Ye Changsheng frowned and pretended to refuse.
Yu Xing immediately shook his head and said, "It's different now than usual. Brother Ye is the one with the highest cultivation and the strongest strength among us, so this spirit stone should naturally be given to you for safekeeping!"
This person really knows how to change with the times!
Ye Changsheng smiled lightly and took the storage bag.
A look with divine sense revealed that there were dozens of mid-level spirit stones and more than ten thousand low-level spirit stones.
This is a batch of spirit stones that were mined this month but have not yet been delivered to the seven sects.
In the following time, the two of them brought the Qi-refining disciples of the Yanyue Sect to guard here.
Ye Changsheng looked normal, but Yu Xing sighed from time to time.
Demonic monk, these four words weighed heavily on his heart.
Time passed slowly, and in the evening, suddenly a stream of light quickly crossed the wasteland and came to the top of the canyon.
The light faded away, and a figure emerged. It was a woman with a beautiful appearance, but a frosty face and a hint of ferocity in her eyes.
A piece of talisman paper fell from her body and burned up.
Looking at the desolate scene here, she snorted coldly and immediately fell down.
