Chapter 124: The Divine Formless Jade
Chapter 124: The Divine Formless Jade
The Seal God Palace had never intended to take action today, primarily because of the unusual circumstances and the Incubation and Deification Plan, which required the people chosen by Ren Zhongyuan.
Before this, the Seal God Palace would only gradually weaken and would never consider a massive conflict or riot.
Such an approach would severely damage the overall strength of the Unified Heart Sect.
"Zhongyuan."
The atmosphere in the Seal God Palace changed, becoming amiable yet stern, as if pushing his heart into his stomach) he said, "Since you joined the Unified Heart Sect, we've had a great collaboration. What pleases me the most is your dedication and responsibility. No matter the task, I trust you to handle it. Moreover, you have no ulterior motives; you're sincere and disdainful of conspiracies and tricks. I'm truly relieved."
Ren Zhongyuan's face turned black with lines. The words of the Seal God Palace were indeed venomous.
This was clearly implying: Can you, Ren Zhongyuan, play conspiracies and tricks?
No!
It was also like saying to others: Just him? Are you following him to rebel against me? Do you have any brains?
Even if he understood everything, Ren Zhongyuan still had to pinch his nose in gratitude, "Thank you, Grandmaster, for your trust."
The Seal God Palace stood up, hands behind his back, standing in front of the throne, and said calmly, "But your personality is easily swayed and manipulated by others, and this is what displeases and worries me."
"This subordinate dares not," Ren Zhongyuan quickly spoke up.
"For example, this time, you actually thought that I would sell out the White Cloud Continent Branch. Zhongyuan, what were you thinking?"
The Seal God Palace revealed a look of regret, as if he couldn't make steel out of iron, and said with a mix of laughter and tears, "Would a Grandmaster sell out a branch? Zhongyuan, what's going on in your head?"
"Just because that branch is your person, and suddenly it was exposed and annihilated, does that mean I did it?"
The Seal God Palace walked with his hands behind his back and stood in front of Ren Zhongyuan, looking into his eyes, and said word for word, "So, you think I'm taking action against you? How did you come up with such an absurd guess? Could it be that someone has manipulated you?"
Ren Zhongyuan was drenched in cold sweat.
Every word from the Seal God Palace carried multiple meanings, and all of them were understandable.
Yet, Ren Zhongyuan couldn't refute them.
He couldn't defend himself.
If he spoke up, the Seal God Palace would directly trap him with these words!
All the high-ranking members of the Unified Heart Sect lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
It was clear that the entire atmosphere was under the control of the Seal God Palace.
At this moment, no one dared to say a word.
"So, today, with all the high-ranking members of our sect gathered here, you dare to question me?"
The Seal God Palace's expression turned cold as he continued, "Do you think they're all fools? Do they believe that a Grandmaster would sell out a branch?"
"Oh..."
The Seal God Palace sighed, "Ah, how should I put it to you?"
Ren Zhongyuan had no choice but to bow, "Grandmaster, it's my fault."
"It's your fault, your fault, hehe..."
The Seal God Palace's face turned gloomy as he slowly paced, saying, "Since you realize your mistake, I won't do anything to you. However, as the Deputy Grandmaster, you're setting a bad example, and I must now rectify the sect's rules."
He tilted his head back and thought for a moment, seeming to be reluctant to part with Ren Zhongyuan, and said, "Zhongyuan."
"I'm here."
"You've been working too hard lately. Temporarily hand over the Battle Hall to the Headquarters, and take some time to rest."
Ren Zhongyuan was stunned, was he being stripped of the Battle Hall?
The Hall Master of the Battle Hall, Li Changshun, stepped forward and shouted, "Grandmaster!"
The Seal God Palace frowned, his eyes turning sharp like a mountain pressing down, "What? You don't want to? Could it be... that Deputy Grandmaster Ren is like this because of your instigation?!"
Li Changshun was shocked, "Absolutely not, Grandmaster. I just..."
"Just what?"
The Seal God Palace was furious, "You've done something! High Official!"
"Swoosh!"
Mu Lin Yuan appeared like a ghost in front of Li Changshun, and with a raise of his hand, he grabbed him like a falling dome.
Li Changshun took a step back, "Grandmaster, I absolutely didn't..."
Mu Lin Yuan's shadow claws pressed him, forcing him to be unable to open his mouth.
He felt like his body was being torn apart. Seeing that he was already at a disadvantage, he drew his sword to resist, and the sword light flashed.
The Seal God Palace spoke with a chilling tone, "Rebellion and daring to resist! Kill!"
Mu Lin Yuan let out a long howl, unleashing his full power, and his entire cultivation burst forth.
Black mist suddenly rose.
Countless shadows emerged, and as his body swayed, they rushed out, grabbing in the black mist.
It was as if the Palace of the King of Hell had opened, and countless ghosts emerged.
Li Changshun struggled to block, but Mu Lin Yuan forced him back, and with a bang, he was struck in the chest, and his sword fell with a clatter.
A scream echoed.
A pillar of blood suddenly shot up three zhang high in the hall.
The headless body spun three circles in the hall and collapsed.
Li Changshun's head was already in Mu Lin Yuan's grasp, and a dark aura enveloped the hall, crushing Li Changshun's soul into powder.
Mu Lin Yuan held Li Changshun's head, spun his body, and withdrew ten zhang, standing in the corner of the hall.
In his hand, a fresh human head dripped with blood, drop by drop.
The iron mask on his face was sinister and cold, reflecting the light silently.
Everyone's eyes were filled with shock, their voices as silent as cicadas in winter.
A high-level expert from the clouds was killed within three moves.
This was undoubtedly due to Mu Lin Yuan's formidable cultivation, but Li Changshun never expected that today would be the day of his bloody battle!
He was completely unprepared for the fight.
Before he could even draw his weapon, he was killed!
"Sect Leader!"
The other Hall Masters were equally shocked.
They watched as Li Changshun's head was held in Mu Lin Yuan's hand, and they were all filled with inexplicable horror.
"Sect Leader!"
Ren Zhongyuan looked at Li Changshun's head, his eyes filled with anger.
"Li Changshun has rebelled and caused chaos, he deserves to die!"
The Seal God Palace spoke in a chilling tone, "Starting today, all members of the Battle Hall are prohibited from going out, and a thorough rectification will be carried out. The Hall Masters will be responsible for this. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy. No exceptions!"
With a wave of his hand, several masked Hall Masters entered, and one of them extended his hand, "Please!"
The Deputy Hall Masters' eyes showed panic as they looked at Ren Zhongyuan, "Deputy Sect Leader, save us!"
Just as Ren Zhongyuan was about to speak, the Seal God Palace spoke first, "Do you only recognize the Deputy Sect Leader? Zhongyuan! What have you become after all these years of being bewitched! How can I explain this to Elder Bei?"
The Seal God Palace's words were filled with pain.
During the conversation, several people had already been taken away, their cultivation sealed.
Ren Zhongyuan found some solace in the fact that besides the Battle Hall, none of the others had moved.
Ren Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Sect Leader, although the rectification is necessary, these people are the backbone of our sect and loyal warriors. I hope you will show mercy."
"That's natural. Our sect still needs talented individuals."
The Seal God Palace spoke calmly, "Zhongyuan, go back and rest. Think carefully about the future. I won't be the leader of the Unified Heart Sect for much longer. In the future, the sect will need someone to take over this position. If you work diligently, it's better than those unfamiliar high-ranking officials who come in and take the credit."
His words carried a heavy sigh.
Ren Zhongyuan took a deep breath, "I will take your words to heart."
"Go. You can leave too. Think carefully about the future of our sect."
The Seal God Palace's voice was faint, with a hint of chill.
The crowd lowered their heads and walked out one by one, their steps heavy.
The Seal God Palace remained alone in the hall.
It seemed like he was waiting for something.
After a long while...
A faint voice echoed, "Seal Sect Leader, if I didn't make a move just now, was it because of me?"
The Seal God Palace let out a bitter laugh, "Elder Bei has indeed arrived."
A figure as light as smoke flew into the hall.
Even standing before the Seal God Palace, the figure remained like a cloud of smoke, its face and figure indistinct, as if an illusion.
It was indeed Bei Mingxin, the Law Enforcement Head of the Only Me Sect's Headquarters.
Bei Mingxin spoke, "Seal Sect Leader, your cultivation has indeed advanced further, to the point where you could detect my arrival in advance."
"It seems Elder Bei has given me some credit."
The Seal God Palace laughed, "Before this, I was wondering why Deputy Sect Leader Ren Zhongyuan was so confident today, there must be a reason for his confidence today. So, I waited for Elder Bei."
Bei Mingxin's pupils constricted, and he said, "Seal Sect Leader, you truly see the subtle signs. Zhongyuan is not your match at all!"
The Seal God Palace sighed, "But Elder Bei's arrival today is not because of Ren Zhongyuan."
Bei Mingxin also sighed, "It's just that there's a matter, a coincidence of fate. I didn't expect to encounter the Seal Sect Leader's mighty display."
The Seal God Palace laughed heartily and suddenly asked directly, "Elder Bei, in your opinion, how ambitious is Zhongyuan?"
This question was like a direct slap in the face.
Bei Mingxin took a deep breath and said, "Seal Sect Leader, rest assured. Our two sects have not reached that point. Even if we have our goals, they will not be directed at your sect."
The Seal God Palace smiled, "Since Elder Bei says so, I truly believe it. In the future, Zhongyuan will still be my capable assistant."
Bei Mingxin laughed, "This time, I have come for a matter that requires the Seal Sect Leader's assistance."
"Please speak."
Bei Mingxin did not speak immediately but pondered for a moment, "Regarding the previous matter of Blood-soaked Forest... Seal Sect Leader, you were involved, and although you didn't understand it at the time, you should now know what it was truly about."
The Seal God Palace nodded, "Then Elder Bei should know that there was a problem with that matter!"
"I also know about this." The Seal God Palace nodded again.
"Now, that Elder's divine formless jade, which was always with him, has been disconnected and lost due to a mishap."
Bei Mingxin sighed, "This is the biggest trouble."
The Seal God Palace was shocked.
He was truly unaware of the divine form's demise, "There's such a thing. No wonder Elder Bei came in person!"
"Yes."
"Due to this mishap, the divine formless jade, which was connected to that Elder's divine form, has been lost."
