The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 962 - 301: Guo Datou’s Resolve (6k)_2

As she spoke, she actually bowed slightly in salute.

Mo Xingjian and the others merely watched coldly, without responding.

Seeing this, a flicker of gloom flashed in Princess Consort Ying's eyes before it quickly transformed into a mournful expression: "Indeed... I've painfully lost my royal offspring, my heart feels like it's being twisted with a knife, that's why I lost my composure."

Saying this, two streams of clear tears fell, "I hope you all can be understanding, considering the pain of losing a child."

Afterward, she took out a piece of Imaging Stone: "This time, the reason I've come here is truly to verify something with Sect Leader Cao."

As she spoke, the Imaging Stone in her hand floated over. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

When it reached in front of everyone, it suddenly hesitated, moving up and down, appearing indecisive about whom to give it to.

After all, your Sect Leader is in seclusion, so who among you can make the decisions now?

Each person's face darkened, silently cursing in their hearts.

This woman's every move reeked of calculated pretense; she even makes a show of handing over an Imaging Stone!

Seeing no one respond, Princess Consort Ying sighed lightly: "To be honest, this Imaging Stone was given to us during our visit to the Golden Thunder Sect."

"The stone reflects the images of the interactions between Seventh Prince Xuanyuan Yichen and Ninth Princess Xuanyuan Muqian visiting the Taiqing Sect. Only those two siblings from the Imperial Family have been to your sect."

When she said this, her eyes filled with tears, "I only ask that you truthfully tell me whether my son, Qi, ever revealed anything special or any clues regarding his fifth brother's death."

Mo Xingjian and the others coldly observed the Imaging Stone floating in the air, feeling a chill in their hearts.

This Princess Consort Ying truly has a malicious heart, setting two traps for Taiqing Sect in a brief moment.

If the Golden Thunder Sect knew that the Imaging Stone they intended to use for sowing discord was so boldly exposed by Princess Consort Ying, they wouldn't know what to think.

Fortunately, everything was still under control.

Suddenly, Duanmu Shu's transmitted voice echoed in their ears: "Pay attention to the last person in the Liu Family; there's an Imaging Stone embedded in his hairpin!"

Everyone's hearts trembled, and their eyes glanced over, indeed seeing a faintly glowing black jade on the hairpin of the Liu Family's fifth elder.

Mo Xingjian stepped forward immediately and spoke directly: "The Seventh Prince did visit the Taiqing Sect, but it was merely to spar with my eldest disciple, to comprehend the realm."

His tone was calm yet firm, "We haven't seen him for years since, and the Fifth Prince's murder happened afterward."

Princess Consort Ying's red lips slightly parted, just about to refute.

Mo Xingjian already turned away, flicking his sleeve: "We have sect affairs to attend to, so we cannot accompany you any further!"

With that, he turned and entered, and everyone followed him into the mountain gate in succession.

At such times, saying more would only make it easier to fall into the opponent's trap.

This was the strategy unanimously decided by everyone after discussing it beforehand.

Once inside the mountain gate, Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang was already standing with his hands behind his back.

Quietly standing behind a ripple of spiritual power, he gazed deeply at everything outside the mountain gate.

Mo Xingjian and the others tacitly stopped their steps and stood alongside the Sect Leader, looking through the semi-transparent protective mountain formation at the situation outside.

At this time, Princess Consort Ying still stood in place, her delicate face now iron-blue.

She stared fixedly at the slowly closing protective mountain formation, her fingernails digging deeply into her palm.

Since Feng Tai's death, the various sects that used to curry favor with her Liu Family have started to distance themselves, some even turning traitor.

These opportunists never change their ability to adapt to the situation.

The political arena has always been like this, the victors are kings while the losers are outcasts; she is long accustomed to it.

But even so, never has anyone dared to so thoroughly ignore her authority like the Taiqing Sect.

Those betraying sects would at least maintain proper courtesies on the surface, not lacking in the courtesy they should offer.

But here at Taiqing Sect, not only do they publicly humiliate her, but they also directly refuse guests, unwilling to maintain even basic decorum.

"What a Taiqing Sect..." Princess Consort Ying spat out these words almost through gritted teeth, with a glimmer of sharp cold light appearing in her eyes.

She suddenly turned, walking toward the flying ship without looking back.

The five elders of the Liu Family followed closely, every one of them with eyes filled with intense murderous intent.

County Governor Zhong Yao and Mansion Master Xiao Ji exchanged glances and were about to follow when Grand Elder Liu Xuanfeng suddenly stopped, raising his right hand slowly, making a gesture to "stop."

"Gentlemen!" Liu Xuanfeng's emaciated face was icy cold as he looked at the two men and said: "The affairs of our Liu Family have troubled you gentlemen for a long time, truly we feel quite apologetic."

"From now on, we won't trouble you anymore, furthermore, aren't there presumably mountainous piles of official duties waiting for you to deal with in the county and mansion?"

Zhong Yao and Xiao Ji exchanged a look with Liu Family's grand elder, seeming to vaguely guess something.

Zhong Yao tried to maintain his composure, barely squeezing out a smile: "Grand Elder is too serious, serving the Princess Consort is precisely the duty of local officials like us..."

His words weren't finished before Liu Family and the others directly activated the flying ship to leave, just leaving them standing alone in front of Taiqing Sect's mountain gate, looking at each other.

"Truly heartless and unkind!" Xiao Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Zhong Yao, however, let out a long breath, saying: "Perhaps they feel we're in the way. That's fine, at least we can temporarily escape this quagmire."

He said, casting a meaningful glance at the majestic mountain gate of Taiqing Sect, then patted Xiao Ji's shoulder, "Let's go."

As they watched everyone leave, inside the mountain gate, Cao Zhengyang and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

"They won't give up so easily, let's prepare early!" Cao Zhengyang spoke lightly, then turned to leave.
