"Investigate!
Investigate thoroughly … Even if you have to turn the entire Penglai upside down, you have to find Song Lian! "Great Elder Situ's face was as ugly as it could get.
Although he still had no conclusive evidence to prove that the chaotic battle in the Penglai Secret Realm this time was instigated by outsiders, he had basically confirmed this point in his heart.
Not only him, but the patriarchs of the several large families sitting next to him also had ugly expressions.
There was no doubt that they had been schemed against.
Not only had they lost a large amount of combat power and the younger generation of their family, but they had also created great hatred with other families … Although this matter was instigated by outsiders, this hatred would not disappear because of this.
"Elders, this matter is very bad. The person hiding behind the scenes is not only tyrannical in strength, but also abnormally cunning. I hope that everyone can temporarily put aside the hatred between each other and work together … Everything can wait until after we have dealt with this common enemy."
This chaotic battle this time had caused the strength of the Penglai Secret Realm to regress by more than 20 years. To make up for this loss of strength, it might take the efforts of one or two generations.
As the Great Elder of the Hall of Elders, Great Elder Situ also expressed his sincerity at this time. In his heart, he was also incomparably sullen. The hatred in his heart was no less than that of the large families that had almost been exterminated.
The Situ family was also a top family in the Penglai Secret Realm. This time, their losses were also very tragic. He could not wait to drag out the person behind the scenes and swallow him alive to vent his anger.
"Good!
We will fully cooperate … "
"That's right, we must find this person behind the scenes …"
The large families that were originally hostile to each other also stood out at this time. Although the Penglai Secret Realm was isolated overseas and had been isolated from the world for thousands of years, they were still descendants of Huaxia. The ability to fight among themselves was naturally a tradition. However, when faced with a strong external enemy, they would also choose to cooperate.
They all knew very well that if they couldn't work together and were defeated one by one by a top-notch expert who could wipe out the Liu Clan, the consequences would be very tragic.
The order issued by the Hall of Elders naturally spread throughout the entire Penglai Secret Land in an instant. Not long ago, the major families that were fighting and killing each other also put aside their hatred for each other, which was very rare. They worked together to search for clues about the "mastermind" behind the scenes. Of course, this included the mysterious disappearance of Song Lian.
However, such an inch-by-inch search lasted for ten days. Almost the entire Penglai Secret Land was searched, but there was not the slightest trace of the 'culprit'.
As for Song Lian …
Needless to say, ever since he disappeared, it was as if he had disappeared from the Penglai Secret Land. No one had seen him again.
Even those in the Hall of Elders believed that Song Lian's corpse had been destroyed by the mastermind behind the scenes.
In fact …
"This place is really not bad. Brother Fan, how did you find it?" Song Lian couldn't help but ask with a smile as he sized up the environment of the cave.
After this period of recuperation, coupled with the sufficient supply of medicinal pills that Qin Fang had given him, Song Lian's injuries had long since recovered. He had even gone one step further, breaking through the limits of half-step Martial Emperor and taking half a step into the realm of Martial Emperor.
The people of Penglai had searched everywhere for them but to no avail. It wasn't that they had really left the Penglai Secret Land, but that they had hidden in a place that no one would expect …
It was the cave where Situ Qingyun had imprisoned Fan Jin back then.
This place was very hidden and had been around for a very long time. Moreover, there was an Asura Demon Domain hidden inside. It was a dangerous place among dangerous places … It was fine if such a place was not exposed. Once it was exposed, it would definitely be completely sealed.
However, after so many years in the Penglai Secret Land, this place had yet to be sealed. It could be seen that very few people knew about it. Perhaps even Situ Qingyun had only found it by chance. Even in the Situ Clan, not many people knew about it.
Therefore, the chances of Fan Jin and the other two being discovered hiding in this cave were very small … At least, they had been in there for many days and it had been very peaceful.
It wasn't that they were afraid of those people in the Penglai Secret Land, but before Qin Fang came out of seclusion, they didn't want to provoke the people of the Penglai Great Clans for the time being …
The wantonly massacre at the beginning was just to sow discord between the Great Clans, and the results were obvious. Almost all the Great Clans had suffered heavy losses.
Although they had woken up and formed a short-term joint force, this was only temporary. Such an alliance would gradually disintegrate because they couldn't find the mastermind behind the scenes.
At that time, it was almost time for Qin Fang to come out of seclusion. It would be the time for them to take action again … Hiding now was to preserve their strength and wait for a more violent outbreak.
"Speaking of this, I really have to thank Young Master Qin. If it weren't for him, I might have been buried here …" Looking at this familiar yet strange cave, Fan Jin also said with emotion.
If it wasn't for Qin Fang coincidentally following Situ Qingyun into this place, he really didn't have any hope of escaping from Situ Qingyun's hands … Being buried here was already considered not bad. With Situ Qingyun's temperament, he would most likely directly grind his bones to dust.
Therefore, he was grateful to Qin Fang from the bottom of his heart.
"I didn't expect you to have such a history …"
After listening to Fan Jin's brief account of what happened at the beginning, Song Lian was also quite emotional. He was also glad that his luck was still good. Although his status didn't improve much, after following Qin Fang, he also got a lot of benefits.
As for betraying the Penglai Mystic Realm, he now felt less and less psychological pressure.
"Young Master Qin has been in the Demon Sea for more than half a month. I don't know when he will be able to come out of seclusion …" At the mention of Qin Fang, they couldn't help but mutter.
The Demon Sea was a place that even the Penglai Mystic Realm, which was full of experts, listed as a forbidden area. The degree of danger was far greater than that of the Heavenly Dragon Cloud Sea and the Tianyun Clan.
It was a forbidden area for humans!
So far, not a single human expert had been able to escape from it!
Although they were all very confident in Qin Fang … After all, for so long, Qin Fang had been behaving in various ways that made them dumbfounded, and they had long been fiercely tempered many times. They also firmly believed that Qin Fang would definitely be able to walk out of the Demon Sea alive.
Although they were confident, they couldn't help but be worried!
They were now in the same boat as Qin Fang. Once something happened to Qin Fang, it would be difficult for them to survive.
Song Lian was like that, so was Fan Jin. Even the invincible ninth elder was still like that … They couldn't help but break out in cold sweat for Qin Fang.
"Back then, Qin Fang said that it would take at least a few days, at most a month. If it has been more than half a month, it will take at most ten days …"
Compared to Song Lian, Fan Jin knew more, and he also briefly explained it as a way to comfort Song Lian and encourage himself.
"More than ten days, that's not too long!"
Song Lian nodded. He had followed Qin Fang for a much longer time, and he also knew Qin Fang better. Since Qin Fang said such a period of time, he would most likely come out of seclusion during this period.
"It's a mess outside now, and the major families are searching for our whereabouts. With a buffer of about ten days, we can just recuperate …"
"Haha, let them slowly search!"
Speaking of those people outside, Song Lian and Fan Jin couldn't help but laugh wildly. Those people were like headless flies searching everywhere, but they couldn't even find a trace of them, wasting a lot of manpower for nothing. They believed that such an outcome would make them even angrier, right?
Their hatred was only temporarily suppressed. In such an irritable mood, it was very easy for a small matter to directly explode.
In fact, as the major families searched left and right to no avail, everyone became irritable, and their tempers became much worse. There were also more conflicts between each other.
Of course, these were only small conflicts and small conflicts, and were far from reaching the level of eruption. With the elders suppressing it, there weren't any big waves.
However, even the big shots in the elders' hall didn't know how long this mood could be maintained … They also vaguely sensed this potential threat.
After all, whether this so-called mastermind really existed or not, they had no clue or evidence at all. Especially in a situation where they couldn't find any clues after searching like this, it made them suspect that such a mastermind didn't exist at all.
In that case … the attitudes of the various clans had changed quite a bit.
Pa ~ ~
A crisp sound rang out, as if a piece of porcelain had been smashed onto the ground. It was also quite clear. At the same time, it was accompanied by a furious roar. "Trash!
A bunch of trash! "
The voice came from one of the great halls of the elders' hall. It was obvious that the angry person's identity was very prominent.
"Great Elder, please calm down!"
Then, someone carefully persuaded. Just by the way he was addressed as Great Elder, one could tell the identity of the angry person. It was Great Elder Situ.
This time, the major families were able to stop fighting and unite. It could be said that he had worked hard to create this situation, but what he didn't expect was that … the major families had almost turned the Penglai Secret Land upside down several times, but they still couldn't find the mastermind's whereabouts.
If that was all, it would be fine. What made him most angry was that the major families' irritation was getting worse and worse, and they were more and more resistant to the commands of the elders' hall. In the past two days, there was even an incident where the imperial guards of the elders' hall were beaten up …
If this was in the past, it would definitely be a big deal. However, at this time, as the Great Elder, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger … He didn't dare to provoke the anger of the major families. Otherwise, an even more tragic battle royale would immediately erupt!
