"Young Master Yun, where has Young Master Yun gone!"

"Where is Junior Brother Geng Yao, has anyone seen him?"

"Where is our Li Family's cultivator, Li Xiangping!!"

The disciples of the three major powers were more anxious than those of the Corpse-Driving Sect.

Because their elites had not come out, only a group of ordinary disciples trapped in the earlier checkpoints emerged.

When asked, every one of them looked dumbfounded, as these people hadn't even entered the final underground palace.

"It must be the people from the Corpse-Driving Sect who did this!"

"That's right, only they entered the final area!"

The disciples from the three major powers glanced at the Corpse-Driving Sect disciples with hostile eyes.

"What, do you want to start a sect war?" Li Tingting stood out, her whole body flickering with spiritual power, her expression stern, her eyes filled with killing intent.

At this sight, the Corpse-Driving Sect disciples quickly gathered together, each taking out talismans and magical artifacts, readying themselves for the worst in a battle.

Among the four major forces, the Corpse-Driving Sect had the most disciples, and although more than half were mid-stage disciples, under the cover of the later stage ones, they could exert far more strength than usual.

For some reason, the cultivators from the True Blood Sect, led by someone who had the intention to retreat, called their fellows to withdraw.

The East Sea Li family's cultivators were fewer in number and would only be cannon fodder if they stayed, so they reluctantly retreated as well.

The leading cultivator of the Red Sun Sect observed and secretly weighed the strengths of both sides.

Seeing the killing intent in Li Tingting's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill, thinking that the other party might have the chance to keep them here?

Thinking of this, though inwardly resentful, he could only lead his disciples to retreat.

A crisis that could have led to group annihilation dissipated into nothingness, and the disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Li Tingting dared not be careless.

Leading her fellow sect members, she retreated swiftly, stopping for nothing, and soon reached a six-pointed star Teleportation Array deep within a gorge.

Li Tingting took out a translucent stone and placed it in the center of the complex teleportation array.

Then, using spiritual power to control a black token, it spun up and activated the Teleportation Array.

The array suddenly burst into brilliant light, and everyone standing on it quickly disappeared.

"We're safe!" A disciple couldn't help but sigh with relief back at the camp's small courtyard.

In the camp, there was a Corpse-Driving Sect Elder, a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, whose strength was incomparable for those at the Qi Cultivation Level.

The others also couldn't help but show joy on their faces, a strong sense of relief rising in their hearts.

"That may not be the case!"

A figure, flickering with intense black light, suddenly appeared above the courtyard.

Standing on a banana leaf-shaped Flying Magical Artifact, a powerful aura enveloped everything, causing all the disciples to turn pale, drenched in cold sweat!

"Foundation Establishment, it's our sect's Foundation Establishment Elder..."

"Wang Hongyue, what do you intend to do!" Another voice, filled with shock and anger, called out.

Another black-robed elder stationed at the camp 'whooshed' over next to the disciples, exuding an equally powerful aura.

'Crack!'

The two mighty auras began an invisible confrontation, and it seemed as if thunder rumbled in the air.

Under this elder's protection,

the disciples no longer felt the oppressive threat from the malicious-looking elder above, and their bodies relaxed.

"What do I intend to do?" Elder Wang Hongyue suddenly roared, "My grandson is dead, his spirit tablet shattered, he is DEAD!!"

A black light flew out, striking the two-story stone house not far away.

With a loud 'boom,' the stone house collapsed in ruins.

"If he's dead, then go find the murderer and take revenge, why go mad here?" The elder stationed at the camp, with grayed hair and a small stature, voiced somberly yet unyieldingly towards Elder Wang.

"I can't even enter the secret realm; how am I supposed to know who the murderer is?" Wang Hongyue replied coldly.

He seemed to cool down a bit, descending slowly from the sky, revealing his original appearance.

Short and plump, much like Wang Wenbai, except with slightly more gray hair, but his face was smooth, devoid of any wrinkles.

His eyes, sharp like an eagle's, glanced at the many disciples present, and no one dared to meet his gaze.

"However, I can ask them, those who went inside, as they likely know the truth," Wang Hongyue stated indifferently.

"Do you have a Law Enforcement Hall's document or a hand decree from the Sect Leader?" the camp elder sneered.

"I'm not going to force them; it's all voluntary for them to answer my questions. Is anyone unwilling?" Wang Hongyue looked at everyone, his gaze so sinister it sent chills down their spines.

'Damn him!'

In their hearts, the disciples had already cursed Wang Hongyue's ancestors countless times.

Of course, no one dared refuse.

Refusal would mean offending a flourishing elder, who had the courage?

However, the feeling of being coerced was truly unpleasant.

The camp elder had no choice but to watch everyone 'voluntarily' comply, preventing any mishap from occurring on the scene.

In the next moment, Elder Wang held a palm-sized ancient bronze mirror, its edges emitting a gentle green light, with a green flame quietly burning within the mirror.

Sighting this green flame, a sudden chill flashed through the hearts of all present.

"You actually borrowed the Heart-Inquiry Mirror; it must have come at a considerable cost." The camp elder narrowed his eyes, his expression growing colder.

"When your grandson dies, you'll know that any cost is worth it!" Elder Wang shouted angrily.

"What is the Heart-Inquiry Mirror?" Lou Yi asked Bi Yaoyao.

"It's a treasure in the hands of the Great Elder of our sect, used to interrogate low-tier cultivators. If someone lies, there will be anomalies in the mirror."

Upon hearing this, Lou Yi's heart sank.

With such wondrous effects, could the Attribute Panel be of any use?

Probably not, as the Heart-Inquiry Mirror itself would not pose any harm directly.

'If the truth is discovered and Elder Wang takes action against me...'

Thinking this, a chilling sensation spread through Lou Yi's heart.

Elder Wang's presence now was far stronger than the talismanic treasure shadow from before.

Facing him now, Lou Yi saw little hope of victory!

On the scene, Elder Wang's questioning began.

The first to step forward was Xie Zhiyu, the strongest among the Inner Sect Disciples.

Holding the Heart-Inquiry Mirror, Elder Wang directed a green beam towards Xie Zhiyu.

"Did you kill Wang Wenbai?" Elder Wang asked, his gaze cold as he stared at Xie Zhiyu.

"No." Xie Zhiyu responded with a look of calmness.

"Do you know who did?"

"I do not."

After those two questions, the Heart-Inquiry Mirror showed no reaction.

Next up was Qi Jiaoxue, who faced the same questions, with similarly no reaction.

As one disciple after another was questioned, it was soon Lou Yi and You Qingyi's turn.

Lou Yi and You Qingyi exchanged glances, each seeing the worry in the other's eyes.

Lou Yi was the murderer of Wang Wenbai, while You Qingyi, having received the Master's legacy, retained the memory of the scene, leaving her unable to lie.

"You, come forward."

Elder Wang fixed his gaze on You Qingyi, asking her to come over.

Standing forward openly, You Qingyi subjected herself to the questions.

At this sight, Lou Yi only felt his scalp tingle.

The cries of an eagle echoed urgently in his mind.

A Martial Artist's sixth sense informed him that disaster loomed!

"Did you kill Wang Wenbai?" Elder Wang asked coldly.

"No." You Qingyi replied expressionlessly.

Just as Elder Wang was about to ask his second question, Lou Yi's heart was in his throat.

Elder Wang suddenly turned to look into the distance, frowning tightly.

In the sky far off, a striking crimson shape appeared, rapidly closing the distance at an unimaginable speed.

In mere moments, the crimson arrived over the courtyard, revealing a fiery red flying vessel.
