Chapter 331: News Exposed
At this moment, the daily fixed points arrived as scheduled.
However, Su Jingzhen couldn’t feel any joy.
In this short instant, he repeatedly confirmed the information transmitted by the swift message insect.
“The Spiritual Medicine Sect’s surrender to the Linjiang Branch has been exposed. Spiritual Medicine Sect disciples are being pursued!”
No matter how many times he confirmed, the message only contained this brief sentence.
The underlying truth, however, made Su Jingzhen unable to sit still.
Ignoring whether his appearance was proper today, Su Jingzhen headed straight for the Evil Moon Sect’s council hall.
Since Luo Yuebai sent him a message, it was likely that many high-ranking officials of the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch were gathered there.Two days ago, the eight Golden Core cultivators from the Spiritual Medicine Sect had reported to him that everything within the Spiritual Medicine Sect was extremely secretive.
They were withdrawing towards Linjiang City in an orderly manner.
In the blink of an eye, the news was directly exposed?
Su Jingzhen didn’t want to investigate which link had gone wrong for now.
But the many alchemists of the Spiritual Medicine Sect were incredibly important to his plan.
They could be considered the foundation for the development of his Dan Hall.
If they were all lost, the Dan Hall of the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch could still develop, but it would be much slower.
As a result, many plans couldn’t proceed as scheduled.
Although Su Jingzhen still had confidence in defeating Zou Zeyu’s branch a year later, he was not confident that he could win with a crushing victory.
He couldn’t accept this outcome.
Su Jingzhen’s heart was filled with worry.
Within three minutes, Su Jingzhen arrived at the council hall.
As he had imagined, all the high-ranking officials of the Linjiang Branch were gathered there.
Even Shen Yifeng was present.
Everyone’s expressions were grim.
“Sect Master Luo… Master Luo, is what you just transmitted true?”
Su Jingzhen didn’t dare to call Luo Yuebai “Yuebai” directly in front of so many high-ranking officials.
With his current strength, he still couldn’t be so arrogant.
But his tone was clearly anxious.
Luo Yuebai nodded solemnly, “We are discussing this matter, and we have already sent people to meet the Spiritual Medicine Sect disciples on the road.
We are still investigating how this news got leaked. But the disciples of the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s Dan Hall and Martial Arts Hall are already in crisis.
It seems someone deliberately obscured the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch’s vision. By the time we received the news,
The forces in Qingzhou, especially those who relied on the Spiritual Medicine Sect for pills, had already taken action.
The leading forces are the Flowing Wind Sword Sect and Spirit Sound Valley, which you had contact with before.”
As she said this, Luo Yuebai’s voice was heavy with anger.
For the Spiritual Medicine Sect, or for the Evil Moon Sect’s Dan Hall that Su Jingzhen had built, Luo Yuebai might have invested even more hope than Su Jingzhen.
But at the same time, she increasingly approved of the rules and plans Su Jingzhen had previously established.
Without a complete intelligence system, they were too passive in this situation.
The Shadow Hall indeed needed to be developed with all its might.
“No matter what, we must do our best to rescue those alchemists from the Spiritual Medicine Sect!”
At this moment, Su Jingzhen also expressed his attitude directly.
Luo Yuebai nodded, “Many disciples of the Linjiang Branch have already set off towards Tianning City.
We have sorted out the received information, and by the time you arrived, we had already formulated a corresponding plan.
This time we have lost the initiative, and the Spiritual Medicine Sect is bound to suffer considerable losses.”
After saying this to Su Jingzhen, Luo Yuebai turned her gaze to the Golden Core demon cultivators in the council hall.
“Everyone, as previously discussed, you can set off.”
The Golden Core demon cultivators did not say much, they each took out their spiritual artifacts and flew away.
The Holy Son and Chief Saintess were rivals, and since these Golden Core cultivators were assigned to Luo Yuebai’s side, they would wholeheartedly support her.
When they were assigned to Linjiang City, the strength of the Linjiang Branch would determine the fate of these Golden Core cultivators.
When only Luo Yuebai, Su Jingzhen, and Shen Yifeng remained in the council hall, Shen Yifeng raised an eyebrow and said to Su Jingzhen, “Actually, there was one more piece of news I didn’t tell you.
Tianning City’s Spiritual Medicine Sect was captured by the Flowing Wind Sword Sect and other forces last night.
Zhao Tianming and the other two fourth-rank alchemists are missing. The only thing we can be sure of is that they weren’t captured by the Flowing Wind Sword Sect and others.
This might be the only good news we have. And Zhao Tianming made a contract with you, you should be able to sense his presence in the ethereal realm.”
He paused and added, “Although many second and third-rank alchemists were captured by various forces, the core of the Spiritual Medicine Sect still lies with alchemists like Zhao Tianming.
Moreover, the resources accumulated by the Spiritual Medicine Sect over the years and the countless pills they have stockpiled have probably already been collected by Zhao Tianming.
So, do you understand what I mean?”
Su Jingzhen nodded solemnly.
Since the losses of the Spiritual Medicine Sect were already a foregone conclusion, the Evil Moon Sect had to seize the most important thing.
“Let’s go, this time I’ll personally take you there. As long as we find Zhao Tianming, I’ll see who dares to snatch him from me,” Shen Yifeng said with a hint of killing intent in his voice.
“Master, does this mean that all the high-ranking officials of our Linjiang Branch are out this time?” Su Jingzhen asked.
As if knowing his worries, Luo Yuebai said, “Don’t worry, even if all the high-ranking officials are out, it’s fine. No one dares to steal our home.
As for Xuening, I’ve already sent her to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. With Feng Qingya’s current power, it’s impossible for her to be in any danger.”
Luo Yuebai’s words reassured Su Jingzhen, and he had no more reservations.
Shen Yifeng immediately threw out a long sword.
The sword swelled in the wind, instantly growing to three zhang in length.
Shen Yifeng beckoned Luo Yuebai and Su Jingzhen to get on, and he personally flew the sword, his speed would be countless times faster.
At this moment, even though Su Jingzhen knew that the Linjiang Branch was taking action, the incident happened suddenly, and his thoughts were still in disarray.
“Logically speaking, the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s actions this time were extremely secretive, and with Zhao Tianming’s cunning, he shouldn’t have left too many loopholes. How could he have exposed himself at this crucial moment?” Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, frowning.
Hearing his words, Luo Yuebai laughed, “We just confirmed in front of Feng Qingya yesterday that we had taken over the Spiritual Medicine Sect, and last night the Spiritual Medicine Sect had an incident.
Su Jingzhen, don’t you suspect Feng Qingya at all? After all, the Feng family of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion has the ability to quickly spread the news.”
However, Luo Yuebai’s words made Su Jingzhen laugh.
“Then why did you send Xuening to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion?”
This woman was clearly trying to get information from him, but she ignored what she had said before.
Luo Yuebai: “….”
