Chapter 1183: Chapter 92: Accident_2 Chapter 1183: Chapter 92: Accident_2 The pale silhouette did not open his eyes but spoke softly,

“Come in.”

As a group of cultivators filed in,

they noticed the pale silhouette was still seated in front of the incense burner, showing no intention of speaking.

Several people exchanged puzzled glances, unsure what medicine the acting sect master was selling in his gourd.

Since the other party remained silent, the Rende Hall Master, Fei Hua, also stood by silently with his hands tied, making it inappropriate for anyone to speak up.

After a while, the pale silhouette slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze lightly passed over the people and looked towards the dim sky outside the hall, sighing,

“Recently this rain, it really comes a lot, and who knows when it will end.”

The people inside were puzzled.

Then they heard Fei Hua slowly say,

“To mortals, rain is a heavenly phenomenon, and heavenly phenomena cannot be changed; but for a sect master, it is merely a thought that can scatter them.

The sect master need not worry about it.”

The pale silhouette heard this and nodded indifferently,

“That’s true.”

“However, some rains are destined, and wishing to change them, we can but vainly holler.”

...

The pale silhouette, however, did not intend to explain and calmly retracted his gaze, sweeping over the people below,

“Why hasn’t Master Xi come?”

Fei Hua looked behind him at Ma Shengxu.

Ma Shengxu immediately stepped forward and bowed,

“Sect Master, shortly before, the Chief Division Master of Diwu Hall accidentally discovered the location of Ling Weizi and Hu Zaixi, who have been missing for nearly half a year.

Upon receiving the news, Master Xi immediately rushed from the Ghost Market’s Teleportation Array.”

The pale silhouette fell silent and then spoke,

“So, you have found Ling Weizi…

Is the Chief Division Master, Wang Ba of the Dharma Lineage?”

There was no ripple in his tone.

“Exactly.”

Ma Shengxu confirmed.

The pale silhouette nodded, a trace of unusual light flashing in his eyes,

“It’s him, that’s unexpected…”

He paused slightly, then turned to address everyone,

“Back to the main matter, I’ve called you here to instruct you on matters regarding the Tribulation Crossing Raft…

With only about ten years left until the Tribulation Crossing Raft is complete, you must all hasten the pace to coordinate all personnel and resources within the sect, to avoid being unprepared when the time to depart arrives…”

Everyone listened carefully.

The pale silhouette gave detailed instructions on many things.

Although many present had their grievances against him, seeing that this acting sect master was even more hands-on than Sect Master Shao had been, they couldn’t help but have a change of heart.

After speaking at length, the pale silhouette finally stopped.

The extensive arrangements seemingly made him a bit tired.

He slowly closed his eyes and said softly,

“Alright, remember what I’ve said, you all may leave now.”

“Yes.”

Fei Hua immediately led the way out.

However, just then, the pale silhouette suddenly spoke again,

“Wait, he stays.”

Fei Hua was startled and followed the direction pointed out by the pale silhouette, then his gaze landed on a person in the crowd,

who was also looking at him with full eyes of confusion.

Though full of doubts, Fei Hua was always composed; he merely nodded slightly to reassure the man, then left Chunyang Palace.

The man resigned himself to turn respectfully and stand below.

Just then, he heard the hall doors slowly closing.

His heart suddenly sank.

At this moment, the pale silhouette opened his eyes again, his gaze carrying a mix of detachment and scrutiny:

“How should I address you…”

“Luo Yuzhong?”

As the pale silhouette said the name,

a thunderclap suddenly sounded outside, and a bright flash of lightning briefly illuminated the entire hall and the two figures, one seated, one standing.

The vice hall master of Rende Hall, Luo Yuzhong, wore a look of bewilderment:

“Sect Master…

what does this mean?”

But the pale silhouette suddenly laughed, going off on his own tangent,

“Thirteen years ago, the Qi Dynasty fell, and to seize the treasures left behind by Qi, I dispatched Rende Hall and Diwu Hall to Fu State and Chen State respectively to gather the talents and resources needed by our sect…

And in that same year, a cultivator from the Kingdom of Immortals ambushed the holy child of the primitive Demonic Sect of Yan, causing the deaths of three holy children, leading to a major conflict, with Yan State being largely seized by the Kingdom of Immortals…”

“At that time, Yan was already deeply mired in the quagmire of the Three Continents, and to avoid fighting on two fronts, Yan urgently needed someone to block the Kingdom of Immortals for it.

Thus, soon after, the current Chief Division Master of Diwu Hall, Wang Ba, was ambushed in the northern part of Chen State…”

He suddenly stopped and looked at Luo Yuzhong, his eyes glittering with a hint of coldness,

“Yuzhong, do you know that this Wang Ba has another identity?”

Luo Yuzhong opened his mouth slightly, suddenly feeling an inexplicable dryness in his throat.

The pale silhouette seemed not to care whether he answered, continuing,

“That’s right, he is the sole disciple of Yao Wudi, the Southeastern Guardian of Jin.

If he were killed and the blame placed on the Kingdom of Immortals, knowing Yao Wudi’s temperament, that brainless man would surely be enraged and seek vengeance for his disciple, inevitably dragging the entire Wanxiang Sect into the conflict with the Kingdom of Immortals.”

Luo Yuzhong’s body trembled slightly, he forcibly composed himself and said, “Disciple has never committed such harmful acts against the sect…”

The pale silhouette shook his head slightly,

“Wang Ba was erratic during his outings in Chen State, and to accurately ambush him on his route back to Ghost Market, arrangements had to be made at close range…

At that time, other than the people from Diwu Hall performing missions in Chen State and its vicinity, it was only you from Rende Hall performing the tasks I assigned to you in Fu State adjacent to Chen State, making it extremely easy to investigate nearby.”
