Chapter 408 Lin Yue Requests for a Meeting
"Should we report this to the sect? Let the elders handle it?"
Zhao Xiruo hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
Yun Chen shook his head: "I'm afraid not."
"Why?" Zhao Xiruo turned to look at Yun Chen and asked.
"It's not convenient to let them know about Inoue Mieko's affairs for the time being. Besides, the qualifying round is imminent... Even if they knew about it, they wouldn't be able to take care of it." Yun Chen shook his head solemnly.
Zhao Xiruo didn't say anything when she heard that.
Yun Chen is right.
The leader has been missing for several days, and there has been no movement from the sect. They are all preparing for the qualifying competition.
What's more, Murong Xue is just a direct disciple.
"I'll send a message to Mieko first and ask her to find a way to save them. If they can't help, we can think of other ways."
Yun Chen thought for a moment and then spoke.
It was he who suggested letting Murong Xue pretend to be a Japanese monk in order to lure out the traitor in the Taoist Alliance.
Who knew this would happen.
The traitor was not brought out, but was schemed against by Mieko and became Mieko's scapegoat.
If she had not revealed her identity as a disciple of the Divine Thunder Palace at the critical moment, Mieko would have died at the hands of the Japanese monks without even having the chance to deliver the message.
"Well, let's do our best and leave the rest to fate." Zhao Xiruo sighed and spoke.
They have no sense of belonging to the Divine Thunder Palace, and even less feelings for Murong Xue.
But they couldn't bear to watch their compatriots die at the hands of the Japanese. If they could, they would still be willing to save them.
Yun Chen did not delay and immediately tried to contact Inoue Mieko through the soul imprint left on her body.
This soul seal can not only control the life and death of the other party, but also transmit simple messages within a certain distance.
Of course, the communication can only be one-way, that is, Yun Chen can communicate with her, but she cannot take the initiative to contact Yun Chen.
Yun Chen immersed his spiritual thoughts into the soul seal and clearly sensed Mieko's position and condition.
She seemed to be moving rapidly, her breathing a little disordered, but her life was safe.
"Mieko, I received your reply." Yun Chen transmitted a thought through the soul seal.
A moment later, the Soul Seal gave a faint response, with a hint of panic and anxiety: "Master... Master? Did you receive the letter?"
"Got it. Find a way to save her life and find a chance to release her."
Yun Chen's low voice came over.
After a brief silence, Mieko's tearful response came intermittently, "Master... Master... I... I can't do it... Elder Kameda is personally guarding him, I... I have no chance of releasing him... Besides, I can't protect myself now, and they seem... seem to be starting to doubt me..."
Yun Chen frowned, the situation was worse than he had expected.
He had originally hoped that Mieko could handle the situation, but now it seems that even she, the "insider", can't protect herself.
"Where are you now? Where is your destination?" Yun Chen asked in a deep voice.
"We're on our way to the Forest of Beasts now. I don't know our exact destination...ah!..."
Mieko was halfway back when she suddenly heard a scream.
Yun Chen quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
However, there was no response from the other side and it fell into silence.
It was obvious that Mieko had cut off the soul communication with him.
"The Forest of Beasts again...!"
Yun Chen raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his expression becoming extremely ugly.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiruo hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Can't get in touch?"
"The communication was suddenly interrupted. Something might have happened to Mieko."
Yun Chen said in a deep voice, "They are heading to the Forest of Beasts."
"Forest of Beasts?" Zhao Xiruo was also surprised.
Isn't that where they just came back from?
Going to the Forest of Beasts, could it be...
"Blood sacrifice?"
Yun Chen and Zhao Xiruo spoke almost at the same time.
After saying this, a surge of anger suddenly came over him.
I'd heard Meichuan talk about the blood sacrifice of 10,000 people in Japan before in the Forest of Beasts...
It seems that those Japanese people captured Murong Xue to be used as a blood sacrifice.
"What should we do? Will something happen to her? Or... should we notify the sect?"
Zhao Xiruo hesitated for a moment and looked up at Yun Chen.
Yun Chen fell silent after hearing this.
Murong Xue is his direct disciple, and they had some friendship before.
He would feel bad if he really let her be sacrificed in blood.
The most important thing is that this matter is also related to him.
"Okay, but... we can't tell them, it's hard to explain." Yun Chen thought about it and nodded.
"Let Lin Yue talk."
If he went to explain, it would be difficult for him to explain how he knew the news.
If Lin Yue were to say it, it would be easy to explain.
After all, the Tianji Pavilion was originally responsible for collecting intelligence.
"But he's gone!" Zhao Xiruo was stunned.
Yun Chen smiled and said, "He just left, and he didn't go far. I'll go catch him back."
Zhao Xiruo: ...
Yun Chen flashed and quickly chased after him.
Lin Yue had just walked down the main peak and was happily touching the Foundation Establishment Pill in his arms, calculating how many spirit stones he could exchange it for, when he felt someone pat his shoulder.
He shuddered with fear, turned around and saw it was Yun Chen, and quickly forced a smile: "Master...Master? Do you have any other instructions?"
"Come with me to the meeting hall." Yun Chen said concisely.
"The... the meeting hall?" Lin Yue was a little surprised.
"Why are you going there?"
"There's something I need your help with." Yun Chen looked at him and smiled, then told him the news he knew.
Lin Yue's face changed drastically after hearing this.
"Is this serious?"
If Murong Xue was really arrested and their Tianji Pavilion didn't know about it, it would be a serious dereliction of duty.
When the higher-ups come to hold him accountable, although he won't have to bear the responsibility alone, none of the managers of the Tianji Pavilion will be able to escape.
Naturally, he couldn't escape.
"Of course it's true, but I hope you can tell the news on behalf of Tianji Pavilion. After all, this is also your responsibility."
Yun Chen smiled and nodded.
Lin Yue was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Yun Chen with gratitude.
"Master, be righteous! From now on, I will follow your lead, even if it means risking everything."
As he spoke, he bowed to Yun Chen.
Yun Chen was stunned.
Didn’t I ask him for help?
What does this mean?
"Okay, follow me now."
Yun Chen waved his hand.
Lin Yue immediately stood up and followed Yun Chen towards the conference hall.
At this time in the meeting hall.
A group of elders are discussing the qualifying round.
The qualifying round is tomorrow, and all the disciples who should have registered have done so. However, this time the sect leader was supposed to lead the team himself... but now the sect leader's whereabouts are unknown.
Murong Xue hasn't come back yet, and they are discussing who should lead the disciples to participate.
As for the matter in Japan, they have already informed Taixu Palace and Yuxu Palace, and the two major sects have decided to discuss it after the qualifying round.
The leader of the qualifying competition is not here, and there is no one to take charge. I am afraid that the result for the Thunder Palace will not be very good.
Although they knew the thoughts of the two major sects, they were helpless and could only leave it to fate.
"In that case, Elder Lei will lead the team to Taixu Palace to participate in the qualifying competition tomorrow..."
Before Elder Ouyang finished speaking, a report came from the disciple on duty outside the hall.
"Your Highnesses, Lin Yue, the manager of Panlei City's Tianji Pavilion, requests an audience. He has something extremely urgent to report!"
