Cultivation Online-Chapter 923: Message

Chapter 923: Message

"That's too long! I need you to message my Master right now! I will not allow my friend to experience such abuse in my sect! If you still refuse, then don't blame me for being dramatic when I leave this sect, since I am clearly not of any value to this sect!" Wang Xiuying said in an angry voice.

"W-What? You're willing to go that far for another person?" Elder Yong was shocked by Wang Xiuying's reaction.

"I will not ask again!" Wang Xiuying took out her sect's medallion and threatened to destroy it.

"Alright! I will contact the Sect Master! Just calm down a bit, Disciple Wang."

Elder Yong sighed as he retrieved a brown talisman and mumbled some words into it.

"Go!"

Elder Yong infused his spiritual energy into the talisman, causing it to fly out the window the next moment, disappearing from the sect shortly after.

The talisman would eventually reach Sect Master Xiahou, who was in the middle of a meeting with the other Sect Masters.

"Should we really be hiding the truth about Sun Hao's death? There's already rumors of it being murder spreading around." Sect Master Xiahou said.

"It's for the best, and it would even save us some face. Or do you want to let the world know that some Junior had killed Sun Hao right before all of us, and that we allowed him to leave without doing anything about it?" Sect Master Li sighed.

"Furthermore, the less people know about Yuan's existence the better."

"How's the Universal Music Academy dealing with their Sect Master's sudden death?" Bai Enjue asked a moment later.

"Not good. Despite my warnings, they're all overflowing with the desire to avenge Sun Hao, and they're even looking for Yuan as we speak." Sect Master Li shook his head.

"What? That's insane! At this rate, the Seven Spirit Academies will be known as the Six Spirit Academies!" The Sect Master of the Steel Lion Academy said.

"Why can't they just find a new Sect Master and not cause more trouble for the rest of us?" The Sect Master of the Lonely River Academy sighed.

Sometime later, Sect Master Xiahou suddenly turned to face the window with a frown on her face.

"What's the matter?" The others noticed her odd behavior and asked her.

Sect Master Xiahou didn't respond immediately and opened the window without getting off her chair, and a moment later, Elder Yong's brown talisman flew into the room and stopped before her.

Sect Master Xiahou recognized the talisman and placed it on her forehead.

Elder Yong's voice resounded inside her head the next moment, "Sect Master, I apologize for bothering you during such a time, but your disciple, Healer Wang, is threatening to leave the sect if I don't send you this message. Anyways, apparently her friend had been escorted away by the Disciplinary Squad for illegally visiting the sect and being a spy, and she wants you to do something about it."

Sect Master Xiahou frowned after hearing the message. It took her a moment to realize the situation because she was focused on Wang Xiuying threatening to leave the sect.

'Hm? Her friend? Illegally visiting?'

The face of a handsome yet terrifying face suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Fuck! Those idiots!" Sect Master Xiahou suddenly cursed out loud as she jumped to her feet, startling the other Sect Masters.

"W-What happened?!" They asked her.

"Elder Gu and the Disciplinary Squad at my sect had detained Yuan, even accusing him of being a spy!"

"What?! Why is he in your sect?!" Sect Master Li asked.

"He's friends with my disciple and wanted to visit her! There was no way I could've refused! However, I didn't tell anybody about it, so they think he'd entered illegally and took him captive!"

"H-Hey… Elder Gu… Isn't he from the Gu Family? Didn't Yuan just kill ten of their Spirit Lords and crippled their army?" Bai Enjue said in a nervous voice.

"Heavens… At this rate, the Seven Spirit Academies will become the Five Spirit Academies!" The Sect Master of the Steel Lion Academy said.

Sect Master Xiahou began sweating profusely after hearing such words.

"I-I'm sorry, but I have to return to my sect! Please excuse me!" Sect Master Xiahou retrieved her flying treasure and immediately began speeding back to the sect.

"We should probably postpone our meetings until that man has left this realm…" Sect Master Li sighed.

"Hey, since someone from the Gu Family is involved, shouldn't we notify Patriarch Gu?" The Sect Master of the Lonely River Academy said.

Sect Master Li nodded, "I'm sure they'll appreciate it."

He retrieved a talisman and mumbled to it before sending it flying towards the Gu Family's direction.

Ban Enjue then said, "I'm going to follow Sect Master Xiahou. If the Universal Music Academy learns of his location, they will mostly try to avenge Sun Hao and attack him."

"I'll go with you."

"Me too."

Thus, the other Sect Masters there began making their way to the Spirit Healing Academy while praying that nothing too serious will happen from this incident.

Meanwhile, outside the Alchemy Store, after the Disciplinary Squad took Yuan away, some of the disciples there spoke, "Is it just me or does Senior apprentice-sister Wang's dao companion look familiar? I'm pretty sure that I have seen him before, but I cannot remember when and where."

"You too? I also thought the same when I saw his face."

"W-Wait! I remember! Wasn't he the one who severed the Universal Music Academy's Sect Master's arm during the disciple examination?! That was him in the broadcast, right?!"

"Now that you mention it…"

"Holy shit! Didn't their Sect Master die yesterday? Rumor has it that he was murdered by the person who severed his arm!"

"What! I thought he'd died in an accident!"

"I don't like where this is going..."

While news of Yuan's presence spread throughout the sect like wildfire, Yuan himself followed the Disciplinary Squad and Disciple Gu to some isolated area within the sect.

They eventually arrived before a suspicious-looking cave that looked like the entrance to a dungeon.
