Su Lingfeng didn’t know why Kong Lingci was like this.
However, with a probing mindset, he entered the Quiet Hall and reached out to nudge Kong Lingci.
After a round of pushing, Kong Lingci remained unresponsive.
"Master Kong." Unable to hold back, Su Lingfeng called out and even audaciously patted Kong Lingci on the shoulder.
Still no reaction.
The situation had reached such a stage, the circumstances were very clear.
Su Lingfeng withdrew his hand, and with a very serious expression, he pondered while stroking his chin: "Someone has imprisoned Kong Lingci’s soul? Who on earth dares to do such a thing?"
Being a senior disciple of the Inner Sect, Su Lingfeng certainly understood such matters of soul imprisonment.
What he couldn’t figure out was, who dared to do this?
After pondering for a long time, Su Lingfeng couldn’t find an answer. He stepped outside and took out a Jade Scroll from his pocket.
"Kong Lingci’s soul is missing, he may have met with misfortune."
After saying this, Su Lingfeng crushed the Jade Scroll.
Then, a burst of brilliance flew out from the shattered Jade Scroll, rushing rapidly towards a certain corner of the mountain.
...
Inside a stone chamber.
Beside the bed, an old man was sitting quietly.
Whoosh!
Outside the window, a streak of flowing light approached swiftly, arriving in the blink of an eye.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, grasping the flowing light with a single hand.
Wow!
The dazzling light faded away, revealing a Jade Scroll.
The old man flipped through the Jade Scroll, seeing a line of text: "Kong Lingci’s soul is missing, he may have met with misfortune."
Crack!
The old man crushed the Jade Scroll, his previously calm face showing anger: "Who is it that has imprisoned my brother!"
At the moment this roar erupted, several nearby mountain peaks trembled, trees swayed, and birds and beasts were extremely panicked.
People near the mountains were all surprised, looking towards the direction of the stone chamber.
"Vice Sect Leader Kong is furious? What’s going on?"
In a nearby mountain range.
Ji Yue’Er was sitting on a giant rock, originally meditating and cultivating.
A roar came upon her, destabilizing her vital energy, and she spat out a mouthful of blood with a "puff."
She wiped away the blood with a pale face, looking in shock towards the direction from where the voice came: "Is this the power of a Sect Leader level? Just a roar has such might, injuring me even when I’m just nearby?"
Whoosh!
A beam of light flew past her eyes.
Ji Yue’Er’s look of shock turned into longing: "Flying through the air! One day, I will achieve that too!"
Clenching her fists, Ji Yue’Er suddenly thought of the direction in which the light flew, exclaiming: "The Outer Courtyard? Vice Sect Leader Kong went to the Outer Courtyard after being furious? Why is that?"
...
Bang!
A loud noise shook the earth.
In the Outer Courtyard, every disciple was busy with their own tasks.
But as the loud noise came, every disciple’s heart skipped a beat, and after recovering, their faces turned pale, as they felt suffocated and uneasy.
Some couldn’t withstand the force of the loud noise; their eardrums were directly ruptured, and blood flowed from their ears!
"What’s going on?"
A few powerful individuals, after regaining their freedom of movement, immediately walked toward the door, looked up, and saw a pillar of Spiritual Qi rising visibly from the direction of the Quiet Hall.
"Such rich Spiritual Qi, that’s a phenomenon only those in high positions possess. Why have the high-ups come to the Outer Courtyard? Could it be that Master Kong’s situation was discovered?"
This time, many disciples were genuinely terrified and fearful.
...
Inside the Quiet Hall.
Because Vice Sect Leader Kong descended too fiercely.
The roof tiles were all shattered.
The ground was a mess, and the surrounding flowers and trees were torn to pieces.
Standing in the hall, Vice Sect Leader Kong’s gaze fell on Master Kong.
"My brother’s soul was indeed imprisoned; there are very few resources in the world that can imprison soul power..."
Thinking this, Vice Sect Leader Kong searched Master Kong for a while, then showed a startled expression: "The Soul Prison I crafted for my brother is missing? Could someone have taken the Soul Prison and imprisoned my brother?"
A conclusion was reached instantly, and Vice Sect Leader Kong looked towards a corner.
There, Su Lingfeng was sitting on the ground, disheveled and utterly confused.
Feeling the unusual gaze, Su Lingfeng suddenly snapped back to reality, stood up, and knelt on one knee, looking sincere: "Sect Leader..."
Vice Sect Leader Kong had no mood for nostalgia, coldly saying: "I give you the time of one incense stick, I want all our disciples to gather outside the Quiet Hall."
"Yes!"
Su Lingfeng responded and quickly walked out the door.
...
After one incense stick.
Outside the Quiet Hall, shadows stirred as all Outer Courtyard disciples were present.
Qin Hao and others were among them, inconspicuous due to the large numbers.
However, many nearby people still glanced at them from time to time.
Everyone wondered why they were summoned.
Recently, the Outer Courtyard had been tranquil, with no unusual occurrences, except for that one time.
And the protagonist of that incident seemed to be none other than Qin Hao.
Thinking of this, the gazes of others towards Qin Hao were particularly complex.
"Everyone’s here!"
At this time, Su Lingfeng, standing at the Quiet Hall’s entrance, counted heads and then turned to speak inside.
An exceptionally tall figure walked out from inside.
Though already aged, his aura was imposing, and his stature was particularly tall and strong.
Seeing the figure’s face, the Outer Courtyard disciples were all alarmed.
Though never having entered the Inner Sect, they had once had the fortune of spotting this tall elder during the entrance ceremony.
Almost simultaneously, everyone’s pupils contracted sharply.
Vice Sect Leader!
The Vice Sect Leader had descended the mountain!
No wonder it created such terrifying commotion! After all, he was second only to one yet above thousands!
As people’s hearts filled with fright, the Vice Sect Leader spoke, his voice incredibly cold: "I do not wish to say extra words, I only want to know, who harmed my brother in this way!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd fell into silence.
Those aware of the situation were extremely scared within.
Those unaware were filled with confusion.
"Nobody’s speaking?"
The Vice Sect Leader frowned slightly, his tone growing more severe.
Still silence—the heavy atmosphere of the Vice Sect Leader’s authority made few dare to speak under pressure.
"You there!" The Vice Sect Leader arbitrarily pointed, and the person indicated turned out to be their old acquaintance He Fang.
Being singled out in that instant, He Fang felt his heart nearly explode from nervousness.
Thus, he stammered, starting to shake his head: "I don’t know..."
Before his voice had fully fallen, the Vice Sect Leader shook his head: "Not knowing is acceptable, death."
After saying this, with a "boom," the previously fine He Fang suddenly exploded, turning into numerous chunks of flesh, vanishing from the world in such a manner.
A living person had just died like that!
This scene left everyone utterly terrified. The cowardly ones, unable to bear it, wet their pants and were scared to the point of urination!
Next to He Fang, his good friend Duanmu Kui was utterly dumbfounded.
After three seconds, he suddenly came to, bending over and vomiting with a "wow" sound.
