God Destroying Pearl

Song Yun heard this and thought, "Master is back."

Without any hesitation, Song Yun immediately calmed his mind.

He took a deep breath, walked out of the room, stretched out his body, and shot into the sky like an arrow, heading straight for his master's residence.

Soon, Song Yun arrived at his master Sikong Luo's residence.

Inside the room, Sikong Luo frowned, looking into the distance through the window.

Seeing this, Song Yun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Master, disciple Song Yun comes to pay his respects."

Sikong Luo came back to his senses and turned to look at Song Yun. His eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"Hmm? Yun'er, have you broken through to the foundation-building stage?"

"Yes Master."

"Good, good, not bad, not bad."

Sikong Luo smiled and nodded to Song Yun continuously.

Then, he said in a gentle but powerful voice, "Yun'er, come here. I have something important to tell you. Please sit down."

Song Yun sat down opposite his master Sikong Luo, with many thoughts in his mind.

Sikong Luo's eyes were deep, and his tone was filled with a barely perceptible solemnity. He slowly said, "Yun'er, the longevity flower that you brought back from the Tianyuan Secret Realm after going through hardships was originally a treasure that the sect cherished. It was intended to be used by the alchemy elders of Baoyao Peak to refine precious longevity pills for the sect's ancestors to take. However, things are unpredictable, and the longevity flower disappeared from Baoyao Peak. After a thorough investigation by the sect, it was discovered that it was taken away privately by an alchemy elder, and that this person had absconded with the treasure."

Hearing this, Song Yun couldn't help but frowned slightly, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He knew very well that the longevity flower was of extraordinary value, not only because of its rarity, but also because it could help monks prolong their lifespan.

Now, such a treasure has been lost due to the elders' greed and betrayal, which is really heartbreaking.

"Master, have you confirmed that the elder has defected?" Song Yun asked in a deep voice, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Sikong Luo's tone became heavier, and he slowly said, "Yun'er, this matter has been personally confirmed by the leaders of each peak of the sect. They each led their elite disciples to conduct a detailed and thorough investigation inside and outside the sect. The result not only confirmed that the alchemy elder did take the longevity flower and was no longer in the sect, but we also discovered an even more shocking fact - the elder's ordinary family members outside the sect also disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth."

At this point, Sikong Luo's eyes flashed with worry. "This situation forces us to cast our suspicions on those hostile forces that have deep grievances with our sect. After all, it is not something that ordinary forces can do to make a sect elder willing to risk his reputation and defect, and take his family away quietly. Such a move and such a layout can obviously only be done by those hostile forces that have deep hatred for us."

Sikong Luo paused, as if to organize his thoughts, and continued: "Although our sect has a deep foundation, but the tree attracts the wind, and there has been no shortage of enemies since ancient times. This defection incident is likely a conspiracy carefully planned by them to weaken our strength and undermine our morale. They may have known that our ancestor was dying, so they took action at all costs. Obviously, they succeeded."

Sikong Luo's voice revealed a bit of helplessness and worry. He continued, "Yun'er, in the past few days, the sect has mobilized everyone to investigate this matter. However, the forces behind it seem to have made thorough preparations. We have not been able to find any clues so far, and even the whereabouts of the alchemy elder have disappeared without a trace. This situation can only show that their plan is more thorough and their actions are more covert than we imagined."

"What's even more serious is that in order to deal with the possible crisis, the leaders of each peak went out in person to visit all the major markets and auction houses near the sect, hoping to find elixirs that can replace the longevity flower and extend life. However, the results were disappointing. Neither the rare spiritual medicine nor the legendary elixir appeared in our sight. Things that can extend life are already rare, let alone at such a critical moment."

At this point, Sikong Luo's tone became extremely heavy. "And the most critical thing is that the old ancestor of the sect, the strongest man who has supported our sect for hundreds of years, is in a worsening physical condition, and I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left. Once the old ancestor passes away, our sect will lose its most solid backing, and those hostile forces that have been coveting our sect's resources will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and the sect will face unprecedented huge challenges and shocks."

Sikong Luo's eyes revealed deep worry, but he also understood that now was not the time to indulge in sadness.

"Yun'er, the sect is in a turbulent time. As a member of the sect, you must stand up when necessary and be prepared to deal with the coming storm."
