Chapter 2161 Complaint
Lei Qianjue was the Sect Master of Lei Yun Sect, and also a powerful expert in the Middle Stage of the Void Tempering Realm. His status was a Rank higher than Qin Biyao and Zhongli Mei.
The same was true for Tuoba Hongyi, who not only had reached the Middle Stage of the Void Tempering Realm in his cultivation but was also the Emperor of the Daxing Empire, so his powerful Aura was naturally self-evident.
Zhang He stood nearby, but at this moment, he had removed his eunuch attire and changed into ordinary clothes. A faint black beard had grown on his lips.
It was clear that he had resigned from his position as the Chief Steward of the Imperial Palace, left the Imperial Family, and become an ordinary person.
He stood with Zhongli Mei and Qin Biyao, and behind them were Du Shengkun, the Du Family Patriarch, and Grand Elder Du Rushan.
The rest of the people were not qualified to stand in the first row, so they naturally lined up behind.
Zhongli Mei stood on the other side of Lei Qianjue. The two were quite familiar with each other. He said, "Sect Master Lei, why did you come in person today?"
Lei Qianjue smiled slightly, "Grand Elder Lei Heng suddenly had an epiphany last night and is currently in seclusion for a Breakthrough today, so I came over."
The reason he personally came to Lake Mingyue was, firstly, because Lei Heng was in seclusion for a Breakthrough, and secondly, because Xiahou Ting was his Personal Disciple.
Precisely because of this, his presence also served to support his Disciple.
Several people chatted and laughed, quietly waiting for the Tianluo Secret Realm to open, while Tuoba Hongyi, standing nearby, had a gloomy expression and was full of anger.
It was understandable; no matter who suddenly lost a son and a daughter, their mood would not be good.
Moreover, he was the Emperor of the Daxing Empire, and the simultaneous demise of the First Prince and the Eldest Princess also caused the Imperial Family to lose face.
After his furious outburst that day, he quietly pondered again and felt that there was something strange about this matter.
Although the Arrow-tailed Scorpion was powerful, its speed was not fast.
Tuoba Yang and Tuoba Shuang were not fools; if they encountered them, they should have avoided them early on. How could they have fallen into the scorpion swarm? There must be a hidden reason behind this.
It was precisely because of this that he personally came to Lake Mingyue, wanting to clarify this matter.
The others all held a spectator's mentality, wanting to see how many people would return safely from the opening of the Tianluo Secret Realm this time, and what kind of treasures and Opportunities they would obtain.
Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, the space above Lake Mingyue began to twist, and then a deep black hole slowly appeared.
Immediately, a flash of figures, four young men and women appeared before everyone, with the words "Shui Mu University" embroidered on the robes on their chests.
The first to emerge were Ye Bufan, Jiang Fang, and the four of them. Seeing people come out, the onlookers immediately cheered.
Du Shengkun, the Du Family Patriarch, and Grand Elder Du Rushan, however, felt their hearts sink. They had previously instructed Du Chong to kill Ye Bufan in the Tianluo Secret Realm no matter what.
In their opinion, with Du Chong's strength and the Lei Yun Sect as his backing, killing him was a foregone conclusion.
But to their surprise, Ye Bufan had come out, but Du Chong was nowhere to be seen, causing an ominous premonition to rise in their hearts.
Subsequently, the spatial black hole continued to twist, and one figure after another flew out from within.
The four Disciples of Tianshui Pavilion were completely unharmed, and although the four Disciples of Shenjian Villa were a bit disheveled, they all managed to return alive.
Next to appear were three individuals from the Lei Yun Sect, led by Xiahou Ting, but Du Chong was conspicuously absent.
This made the Du Family's expressions extremely grim. They now had a guess: Du Chong had very likely perished.
Immediately after, two more figures flew out, precisely Garina and Hai Chenggong.
After they emerged, the spatial black hole slowly closed.
"This…"
Seeing that the Tianluo Secret Realm's teleportation passage had disappeared, the people present immediately erupted into a commotion.
Previously, twenty-one people had entered, but only seventeen had come out today, which meant that the remaining four had completely perished.
If the deceased were ordinary people, like Shao Feng, no one would care if he didn't come out.
But now, among the missing were the First Prince and the Eldest Princess of the Daxing Empire, and it was unexpected that these two had perished together.
Additionally, there was Du Chong, whom the Du Family had been cultivating as an heir, and it was unexpected that he also perished in the Tianluo Secret Realm.
Amidst the astonishment and discussions, the safely returned individuals slowly descended from mid-air and arrived at the shore of Lake Mingyue.
Tuoba Hongyi took a step forward, his gaze sharply scanning the crowd, finally landing on Ye Bufan's face.
If Tuoba Yang and Tuoba Shuang truly died at someone else's hands, then this Young man in front of him was the most suspicious.
However, various things could happen in the Tianluo Secret Realm, and even killing for treasure was not strange, so he was only suspicious and could not be certain.
"In the Secret Realm, who saw my son and daughter? Who knows how they died?"
His voice was incredibly cold, and a powerful Killing Intent emanated from his entire body.
The Aura of a Void Tempering Realm expert permeated the entire area, and many people trembled under this immense pressure.
The same was true for the people who returned from the Tianluo Secret Realm; each of them was extremely nervous, fearing that Tuoba Hongyi would pin the blame on them.
At this moment, everyone chose to remain silent. Firstly, they were afraid of getting into trouble, and secondly, Tuoba Yang and Tuoba Shuang had been reduced to ashes shortly after entering, so indeed no one had seen them.
Seeing that no one answered him, Tuoba Hongyi became even more enraged.
Just as he was about to erupt, Lei Qianjue stepped forward and advised, "Your Majesty, please restrain your grief.
In the Tianluo Secret Realm, Opportunity and danger have always coexisted, and anyone who enters has the possibility of perishing."
Tuoba Hongyi took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. Among the people present, he couldn't touch any of the Three Great Sects; they all had strong backing.
As for the remaining people like Ye Bufan, it was not easy to act in front of so many onlookers, after all, so many people were watching.
To ease the awkwardness, Zhongli Mei looked at Zhao Mingzhen and the others: "How was it? Did you gain anything from this trip to the Secret Realm?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Mingzhen knelt down with a thud, crying out indignantly, "Please, Grand Elder, uphold justice for us."
Not only him, but Xiahou Ting, standing nearby, also knelt before Lei Qianjue: "Please, Sect Master, uphold justice for us."
This fellow acted even more exaggeratedly, crying with snot and tears, as if he had suffered immense grievance.
Originally, he was worried that Grand Elder Lei Heng would be waiting here, which would make it difficult to speak.
Unexpectedly, his Master, who always doted on him, had come in person, which gave him more confidence, and he decided to severely accuse Ye Bufan.
Zhongli Mei's expression changed slightly. Although several people had some injuries, he didn't pay much attention.
After all, there were many dangers in the Secret Realm, and getting injured was inevitable, but he never expected them to complain to him.
He said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Grand Elder, that person surnamed Ye is simply too much!
He monopolized resources in the Tianluo Secret Realm, snatched the nourishing spirit spring that we discovered, and later, relying on his mastery of Formation, he plundered eighty percent of the Spirit Medicine we painstakingly harvested…"
This fellow was full of indignation as he recounted the events, but it was a modified version, placing all the blame on Ye Bufan.
After listening, everyone's expressions changed. No one expected a Disciple of the dignified Shenjian Villa to be bullied to such an extent.
