When he heard that the woman had escaped, Fang Chen's expression became serious.
He was almost certain that the assassin they were talking about was Meng Sha.
"Meng Sha was injured and was hunted down. What about Meng Ta and Senior Brother Huo Cang?"
Fang Chen's heart was in a mess. He was extremely worried when he thought of the black shadows that had lured them to death in front of the Death Mountain Range.
"I hope you're all safe."
Fang Chen clenched his fists and prayed in his heart.
After leaving the inn, Fang Chen found the secular disciples of the Heaven-Defying Alliance to ask for information. However, the actions of the imperial family were very secretive, so he didn't know.
In the end, Fang Chen began to secretly observe the City Lord's Mansion, hoping to find some clues from the Sitting Oblivion City Lord.
…
Heaven-Defying Alliance, Yunluo Peak.
Yunluo Peak Master, who was teaching the disciples, suddenly had a slight change in expression. She got up and walked straight to the main hall where the Life Slip was.
When she saw Bai Yang's Life Slip shattering, she frowned.
"Father, what happened?"
Today, Lou Lanxi also came to the class. Seeing her father leave with a strange expression, she quickly chased after him.
"Bai Yang is dead."
"What?"
Lou Lanxi exclaimed. "Didn't he go on a mission with Senior Brother Huo Cang and the others?
How could he be dead?
What happened? "
Yunluo Peak Master shook her head and tried to calm down. "Go to the other peaks and see if Huo Cang and Meng Ta's Life Slips have shattered."
"Yes …"
Soon, many peak masters of the Heaven-Defying Alliance gathered in the hall.
A heavy aura filled the air.
Everyone's expression was not good.
"Meng Ta, Huo Cang, and Bai Yang's Life Slips have shattered. Meng Sha's Life Slip has countless cracks and is on the verge of shattering. Fang Chen's Life Slip is intact."
After a long time, Elder Li spoke.
This meant that Fang Chen and Meng Sha were still alive, while the others were dead.
The Heaven-Defying Alliance had developed for countless years and had many disciples. Under normal circumstances, it was normal for disciples to die outside.
But today was different.
Because the five of them went to the Cang Kingdom to carry out a mission.
Before this, there were disciples on a mission who died in the Cang Kingdom.
"What's going on?
Have you sent a message to Fang Chen? "
Yun Luo Peak Master asked. She had a deep impression of Fang Chen and had even gifted him a stalk of Golden Flame Grass. She was very optimistic about Fang Chen's potential.
"I've already contacted her. Meng Sha's transmission token should have been shattered. As for Fang Chen, there is no response from him," said Elder Li.
He was responsible for the affairs of many disciples. Now that something like this had happened, he was also responsible.
"Everyone, what do you think?" Peak Master Yun Luo looked around and asked.
"This matter must have been done by the Cang Nation," said a peak master.
"Even if it wasn't done by the Cang Nation's royal family, they can hardly absolve themselves of the blame for the death of our disciples in their Cang Nation," said another peak master.
"This matter is a little strange. I think that the most important thing right now is to send some people to the Cang Empire to investigate the truth and rescue Fang Chen and Meng Sha."
As one of the top forces, the Heaven Defying Alliance would never give up on any of its disciples.
"Hmm?"
Just as the peak masters were discussing, Elder Li's eyes suddenly lit up. He flipped his hand and took out a transmission token.
"Fang Chen has sent a message back."
Elder Li hurriedly said.
Everyone's eyes were all on Elder Li.
"What did he say?"
Elder Li relayed Fang Chen's words to everyone.
"He said that all of this was a conspiracy of the Cang Nation's royal family. The disciples of our Heaven Defying Alliance that died were also killed by the Cang Nation's royal family."
"Cang Nation."
The peak masters were furious.
A small Cang Nation dared to go against the Heaven Defying Alliance. They were courting death.
"Hmph, if I remember correctly, the king of the Cang Nation is only a Fifth Rank Holy Emperor, right?
Who gave him the courage to go against our Heaven Defying Alliance? "
"Ask him what happened to Huo Cang and the others?
What did they go through? "asked Yun Luo Peak Master.
Elder Li nodded and continued to negotiate with Fang Chen.
A moment later, Elder Li knew everything.
"When Fang Chen and the others entered the Cang Nation, they were monitored by the royal family. Then, the Imperial Advisor personally lured them to the Death Mountain Range. At the edge of the Death Mountain Range, many mysterious experts suddenly appeared and wanted to kill them."
Elder Li said, "The leader's cultivation had reached the Holy Emperor Realm. They were no match for him and had no choice but to escape into the Death Mountain Range. After that, he was separated from the other four."
"He was lost in the Death Mountain Range and went through a lot of hardships. As soon as he came out, he heard that the royal family of the Cang Nation was chasing after Meng Sha."
After Elder Li finished speaking, everyone fell into silence.
"Then why are we still talking nonsense? The evidence is conclusive. Send troops to attack the Cang Nation."
The Sky Sword Peak Master said angrily, "Our Heaven Defying Alliance has always been aloof and unwilling to fight for worldly power. I'm afraid the world has forgotten about us.
He even dares to assassinate the disciples of our Heaven Defying Alliance. I want to see how capable the Cang Nation is. "
After that, a terrifying sword intent emerged from the Sky Sword Peak Master's body. He lifted his sword and was about to leave.
"Sky Sword Peak Master."
Elder Li suddenly called out to him.
"Fang Chen is secretly keeping an eye on the Forgotten City Lord. He told me that the Cang Nation's assassination of the Heaven Defying Alliance's disciples is most likely related to another force. He told us not to act rashly and alert the enemy. It won't be too late for us to act after he's done investigating the force."
"Now that the Cang Nation has sealed the border, he and Meng Sha are in great danger. The slightest carelessness will lead to death. Our Heaven Defying Alliance can't be indifferent."
The Sky Sword Peak Master shook his head.
No matter what force was behind the Cang Nation, the Heaven Defying Alliance had nothing to fear.
"If the Cang Nation makes a move, let alone him, even the other senior disciples won't be able to resist. Tell him not to be impulsive. We should go support him as soon as possible."
"I agree with Fang Chen's suggestion." Elder Li said.
Everyone was puzzled. Elder Li continued, "Daring to attack the disciples of our Heaven Defying Alliance is enough to show that the force behind the Cang Nation is not to be underestimated.
Our Heaven Defying Alliance doesn't make a move, but once we act, we must uproot this force.
Right now, our Heaven Defying Alliance should secretly send experts to the Cang Nation and wait for news from Fang Chen. We can't alert the enemy. "
Everyone objected, especially the Sky Sword Peak Master.
"Everyone has seen Fang Chen's potential. It's almost certain that he will enter the Holy Zhi Palace. We can't afford to make any mistakes. This method is too rash."
The Sky Sword Peak Master said in a deep voice.
Even the Yun Luo Peak Master nodded gently, agreeing with the Sky Sword Peak Master's words.
"Fang Chen, he … stepped into the Saint Realm not long ago."
After that, Elder Li didn't forget to add, "He stepped into the third stage in one go."
"What?"
Exclamations rose one after another in the main hall.
He stepped into the third stage in one go!
