"An Honored Guest Elder, no less."
"Honored Guest Elder, how did you end up like this? What on earth happened?"
"Why did the main formation indicate earlier that the Heavenly Treasure was about to be successfully refined, but then it suddenly disappeared?"
"What exactly is going on?"
The Supreme Elder and the other elders hurried forward to question him.
After all, compared to the safety of their disciples, they knew the Heavenly Treasure was far more important.
"The Heavenly Treasure was stolen."
"Even my cultivation has been crippled. I was only lucky to be alive — otherwise, I would have been refined to death right there," the Honored Guest Elder said.
"Who was it? Who did this?"
"Honored Guest Elder, do you know who did it?"
the Supreme Elder asked.
"A heartless little beast. That brat was vicious beyond compare — he isn't human. That's right, he isn't human at all. He's a demon. He's a demon."
When the Supreme Elder said this, it was not anger in his voice — it was fear.
Although he had already lost his barrier power, he used the main formation to project a phantom image of a figure.
"It… it's him."
Upon seeing the phantom, Li Rui let out a feeble voice.
"Li Rui, you recognize him?"
the Supreme Elder asked.
"Master, that's Chu Feng," Li Rui said.
"That's Chu Feng?"
"So it was him again?!!!"
Hearing these words, the expressions of the Supreme Elder and all the elders turned extremely complicated.
They had thought that whoever dared to torture their Flying Flower Pavilion disciples here was already brazen beyond measure.
But they never imagined that the other party's audacity would reach such heights that he had even stolen the Heavenly Treasure from this place.
The Supreme Elder, who had been furious moments ago, suddenly fell silent.
Only now did he realize that he had underestimated his enemy — had underestimated that young man named Chu Feng.
The Heavenly Treasure here was something the Flying Flower Pavilion's Sect Master took extremely seriously. Now that it had been stolen, that was their responsibility.
"Supreme Elder, what should we do?"
Nearly all of the elders gathered around the Supreme Elder. They were all afraid now.
They knew all too well what kind of person the Flying Flower Pavilion's Sect Master was.
The Flying Flower Pavilion was a righteous sect on the surface, but in reality, they committed every manner of evil. In their pursuit of power, they would do anything, no matter how ruthless.
And the Flying Flower Pavilion's Sect Master — as the one who ruled the Flying Flower Pavilion, what kind of figure was he?
He was a true demon wearing a human skin.
"What can we do at this point? We can only confess to the Sect Master," the Supreme Elder said.
"Confess? Then… then… wouldn't we all be punished?"
The elders' faces turned pale. They did not want to face the Sect Master's punishment.
That was a torment none of them could endure.
"What other choice is there? Run away? If we run, death is the only outcome," the Supreme Elder said.
And at that moment, the elders all fell silent.
That was right. If they ran, their Sect Master would never let them go. They would all die.
"Pass down the order. Everyone, come with me. We will go to the Sect Master."
The Flying Flower Pavilion's Supreme Elder made his decision — they would set out immediately to inform their Sect Master of what had happened here.

Meanwhile, Lian Xi and his two companions from the Yun Kong Immortal Sect were already inside a secluded underground palace, where quite a few disciples and elders of the Yun Kong Immortal Sect had gathered.
